    Navigation bar auto hide stopped. HTC M8

    On my HTC One M8, Android 6.0, the navigation bar would automatically hide in games, browser, everywhere but in the home screen. I didn't install anything to make it do this, it's just been that way as long as I can remember. It would move out if the way if I tapped anywhere on the screen, and...

    Help Google restore to new phone via wifi?

    Problem: During the initial setup of an upgraded phone, Google wants to restore their backup before the phone has a wifi connection established. If you have 20GB of apps installed and a 2GB data plan, this means you'll have a huge overage charge, or a failed restore if the data just gets shut...

    Help Can I disable new menu button in 5.0.2?

    Since my HTC One M7 got updated to lollipop, several apps have a round menu button with 3 dots in it superimposed over the screen, which gets in the way of what's under it. It even appears in apps with no menus. In my calculator app, I managed to get rid of it by updating, but others have no...

    Biggest frustation with Android: Can't edit previous searches.

    Android maintains search histories for the Google search widget, market, etc. but you can't EDIT past searches. You can't do variations of previous searches by changing or adding a word to the past search. You can't correct a typo in a previous search.. The only option is to re-type the...

    Changing widget settings?

    I just bought Beautiful Widgets for it's compact time/weather widget, (gained another row of icons on home screen) When you first create a widget with this, there are many configuration options, but it appears the only way to change something is to delete the old widget and create another...

    Return to default wallpaper?

    My HTC's wallpaper used to be a dark gray mesh pattern with flecks of color, with was fairly attractive to me, and provided good contrast with most icons.. I recently tried out a live wallpaper, and now I can't get back to the original one. My only choices are the live ones, and about 6 more...

    FM radio, Does it work for you?

    At my desk, my 5th gen Ipod Nano's scan function finds 24 perfectly clear stations. The Evo's scan finds NO stations. If I manually tune the stations found by the ipod on the Evo, I can find 9 out of the 24 with acceptable reception. And, the radio app occasionally hangs up while tuning, and...

    Most annoying thing in Android.. You have an item in your search history, that's mispellled by one character, or you want to modify it slightly to form a new search. Unfortunately, you can only do that saved search OVER AGAIN, with no changes! So, if I typed in "Univeral enormous elephanr...

    Edit past market searches?

    Type some long market search, and misspell it, search fails. Now, there it sits in the history, with ONE letter bad, but you can only do the same, incorrect search again by tapping it. Am I missing something, or is it true that I have to enter the whole thing over again if I miss one letter...

    How do I enter the TAB character?

    You know, that big key on the upper left of ALL standard keyboards that moves the cursor to the next tab position? I maintain several text lists on my Palm TX, with columns separated by tabs. I just can't figure out how to do this on the Evo's virtual keyboard.
