    Help Always On Display won't stay on

    I can't keep my Always on Display on - I go into settings, turn it on, it immediately turns itself off - I don't know what I've done to do this (I'm sure I did it). What do I have on that's turning it off? Some kind of power saving mode? I have it on Optimized, and Adaptive.

    To Market cart

    I can't get to their web page right now. How do you clear your cart when you're done shopping? Any help would be awesome. Very unintuitive from a program that touts itself a the Handy shopper replacement.

    I just got a message from AT&T about an update....

    I just received a message from AT&T that an important software update is available for my Samsung Captivate. They're letting me know I can update to Android 2.2. Isn't that nice of them? Of course I've been running 2.2.1 since January 5th I thought I wouldn't get the notice because I'm...

    Store Hours app?

    There was a neat little program on my Palm called 'Open', it was a simple little thing that allowed you to enter a store name, and then the hours it was open, by the days of the week. Is there anything like that on Android? I've searched a bit, but came up empty.

    Help Texting Troubles

    Suddenly I am unable to send texts. It's worked fine up until Saturday. The little icon sits there sending...sending....sending....I've tried the native app and GO SMS, neither one will send. I can get texts, however. I'm also not getting any notifications of incoming texts, although I do...

    Titanium Backup/Dropbox restore help

    I have backed up my phone with Titanium Backup and Dropbox. My problem is, should I only use the files dated 1/1/11 in the Dropbox folder, or should I use all of the files (there's a bunch from various dates throughout December). Are they incremental backups? Anyone with any insight?

    Posting links manually

    Suddenly I can no longer post links manually, if I insert a URL after [url= it automatically turns into a link and I can't have it be the phrase I want associated with the link. How do I turn this off? It was gone for a long time and I prefer it that way - I never use the link buttons in forum...

    Got a lot of widgets?

    There's a really neat widget picker replacement app over on XDA. You can't just 'install' this one, you have to download the apk, rename it, and copy it into your /system/app folder via Root Explorer or some other file management app (so of course you need to be rooted). It replaces the widget...

    XDA messed up?

    Is anyone else having this problem - XDA is totally unreadable for me. The website isn't rendering properly at all, things are all jumbled, it's like I never get the final finished loading of the pages. Here's an example:

    What do you need an 'unlock code' for?

    What do you need an 'unlock code' for? What does unlocking do for your phone? There's a program called Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool, I've got my codes, but what would you use them for?

    Help Titanium Backup - restore

    I can't get my phone back this time. I have a backup saved, but I'm afraid to restore all including system data because of the force closes that made me do a factory restore. Plus, I have no preferences in the menu on the hone screen, just settings. How do I get LauncherPro back and get my...

    Market Problems

    Ever since the 'new' market has been rolling out to the 2.2 people I'm having problems. I can't search, pushing on 'search' does absolutely nothing, and updates are sporadic, at best, with long install times and many closings of the phone back to 'media scanning'. Anyone else, or is it reset...

    What uses android.process.acore?

    I am having an issue suddenly with android.process.acore suddenly stopping and force close. I updated Pure Messenger Widget today, along with a couple other apps, Calorie Counter, Titanium Backup and TVShow Favs. This happened after those updates. I've deleted Pure Messenger Widget, but it's...

    Help with file structure of Android

    Please help an old lady learn. I am baffled with the file structure on this phone. I don't get it. When I start up any file manager (I've got Astro and Root Explorer), the very top is / . Then below that is: .info (folder) cache (folder) config(folder) data (folder) dbdata (folder) default...

    Purchased ROM Manager, but using unpaid version

    I purchased ROM Manager from the market for $4.99, the premium version shows up in the app drawer, but it opens as an unpaid version. I've written to the author via Google and have received no response. What recourse do I have??

    Permanent vs. temporary root

    So, a temporary root means when you restart the phone you're unrooted - is this being done to many phones by manufacturers, or just the G2? I'm curious. I've grabbed RyanZa's programs before they were removed by Google - not that I'm going to use them, just to have them (Z4Root and Z4Mod). I...

    Help with Root Explorer & Titanium Backup

    I'd like to tell Titanium Backup to put the backups on the external SD card, but I'm having a problem understanding Root Explorer. When using the program, what 'root' am I looking at? The root storage of the internal memory? The internal SD card? The external SD card? I don't know what I'm...

    No connectivity at all on my Captivate. Wifi networks can't be saved, and the 3G symbol is up there, but there's nothing being transmitted or received. Should I do a factory reset? The phone part works, as does messaging, but nothing else. Help??

    Lack of support from Latedroid/Juice Defender

    I've been using Juice Defender/Ultimate Juice since I got my Captivate. It developed problems, and the log said to uninstall and reinstall, which I did - but I can't reinstall a functional program. The ASOP Helper App will not install, and JD is basically useless without it. I've e-mailed...

    Sideloading Success!!

    Finally I've succeeded in enabling sideloading, via this page. Thank you, whoever posted it here, I've lost track, but this method works. After downloading Root Explorer I was offered another program, SQL Editor, I think - and that is what really ended up working, after I blew my first...

    Beating my head against the Samsung brick wall

    Know why I beat my head against a brick wall? Because it feels good when I stop The Samsung Dock Home or Home Dock or whatever the heck they're calling the app refreshes constantly. It's very distracting, we've been discussing it here. I sent an e-mail to the developer e-mail that's listed...
