    Help Games Not Working - Suggestions?

    I've got a stock A500 running ICS. I can play the Need for Speed and Golf games that came on the tablet, as well as Angry Birds Space, but both Hero of Sparta (came pre-installed on the tablet) and Asphalt 7 won't run. They both start up, but bomb out before I really get anywhere. Is this...

    What Keyboard for A500?

    I'm a big fan of SwiftKey on my phones, but I've got an A500 with ICS and am not too pleased with SwiftKey 3 (Trial). Could be operator error, but I can't find how to turn on the arrow keys, if it's even an option, and the prediction doesn't come up in some situation. I've come to rely on both...

    Chrome Browser

    I'm a huge fan of the Chrome browser on the desktop, but I'm just not having much luck with it on my A500 either in beta form or the newly-released non-beta version. Initially pages load okay, but when switching between tabs they never re-load or they load painfully slowly. I'm back to the...

    Help Got ICS: Yay! Tab Won't Charge: Boo!

    Good Music and Podcast App?

    I've got a rooted Hero running Gingerbread and I'm looking for a decent music and podcast player. The stock one works but can be frustrating to manage. I tried DoubleTwist, which does everything I want including syncing with iTunes, but it's pretty clunky on my phone, not very reliable, and I...

    Flash the Radio?

    I'm rooted and strongly considering CM6 ROM. Most posts related to flashing the radio say don't do it, but on the cyanogenMod wiki instructions for doing CM on the CDMA Hero it says to do just that (Full Update Guide - Sprint Hero with Android 2.1 - CyanogenMod Wiki). Should I, or should I...

    Backup Questions

    1) Is "Nandroid" a generic name for an Android backup or is the name specific to ROM Manager? 2) Is a backup made within the ROM Manager the same as one created when I click "Nandroid" from the recovery screen? 3) Does doing a Nandroid backup through ROM Manager make having Titanium...

    Text Prediction

    I've not seen this text prediction mentioned much in this forum, so... I recently bought a Hero to replace my BlackBerry Curve and it's a big improvement in most ways. I very much enjoy this device. One of the ways it's not an improvement, however, is this text prediction/replacement thing...
