    Help How to show Facebook status updates in Contacts?

    When I first got my S3, I installed the Facebook app and had it sync all of my contacts. When I went into my regular contacts list on my phone, all of my Facebook friends were there and their latest status updates also appeared in the list next to their names. Yesterday, I uninstalled the...

    Help Get to album/artist list from the music widget?

    If I go into my list of apps and launch the stock music player that comes on the S3, at the top of the screen are buttons for All, Playlists, Albums, Artists, Genres etc. How do I get to this screen when I go into the music player app via the widget?

    Help Desire wi-fi connection dropping

    Just recently I've been having a problem with wi-fi on my Desire. It'll work fine when I first turn the phone on, but then after a random amount of time, it stops working properly. The wi-fi icon is a dot with 3 arcs/curves above it. What happens is that all that's lit up on that icon is the...

    ChompSMS 5.4 - Widgets disappeared

    I have a Desire running stock Android 2.2. I upgraded ChompSMS to 5.4 this morning and the widget on my home screen turned into an error message. I removed it so I could try and re-add it, but there's no ChompSMS widgets listed under Widgets any more. I hadn't moved the app to the microSD card...

    Delete entry from "All People" list?

    I don't know how it's happened, but my Xbox Live gamertag is listed in the list of contacts when I go to "All People". There's no phone number of email address or anything attached to it, so it's a completely pointless entry. How can I delete it? There's no option to delete it when I press the...

    Sending text message to mulitple recipients sends as MMS

    If I send a text message to multiple recipients it sends as an MMS. I understand that this happens by design on some networks if you're sending a text to more than 10 people at once, but I was only sending the same text to 2 people. I'm with T-Mobile and I have unlimited texts as part of my...

    Had to change Facebook password and now phone is borked

    I changed my Facebook password on the web site and next time I used Facebook on the phone it said "authentication failed" and asked me to input the correct password, which I did. After doing that, Friendstream didn't work and when I clicked "View Facebook profile" for a contact, HTC Sense...

    How to add my Gmail email account?

    When I set up my phone, I must have entered my Gmail email address at some point, as my contacts and calendar sync. Also, when someone sends an email to my Gmail address, I receive it on the phone. Under email accounts, only my Virgin Media email account is listed. When I try and add my Gmail...

    Anyone having issues with the latest Google Maps/Navigation update?

    Navigation will work fine initially, but the next time I go to use and I enter in a destination, it just stays on the "calculating route" (or whatever it says) screen. I have to go into Applications - Maps and clear the data there, then restart and it works fine then, but it's a bit of a ball...

    Friend can't update his unbranded Desire

    A friend of mine got his new Desire today. He bought it from the same place I bought mine a couple of weeks ago. Mine was unlocked, unbranded and I updated on Sunday without any problems. His is showing as running Android 2.1 and the software number is 1.21.405.2, which I believe means that his...

    Fluctuating signal strength?

    I have a Desire on T-Mobile in the UK. Before updating to Froyo, the signal strength fluctuated between 1 and 4 bars. Since updating, it fluctuates between 0 and 4 bars, even when the phone is just on my desk at home. I did a coverage check on T-Mobile's site and the results for my postcode...

    Dilemma in returning my Desire due to loose battery cover

    This isn't a rant about the Desire, because I love it, but the battery cover on my 2 week old phone is loose on one side and I can feel it moving every time I'm holding the phone which is a bit annoying. I contacted HTC but they won't send out a replacement and they said to contact the...

    Caller ID when several people share the same number?

    My sister and her boyfriend each have their own mobiles, but they share the same land line. When someone calls me from that land line, caller ID always shows that it's my sister's boyfriend calling me, when 90% of the time it'll be my sister. Is there any way to change the default caller (in...

    Hellooooooooo!

    Hey guys, Just thought I'd say hello, as recommended by the little green robot. I'm new to Android, having only owned my swanky new HTC Desire for a few days, but I love it and hopefully I can learn a few tips and tricks on here. :)
