    Help Inspire loses pictures, then finds them after reboot?

    Several times now I've gone in to show someone a picture, only to find that it isn't there. Instead, all that appears is an empty picture icon with a "!" in a red circle. If I pull the battery and reboot, everything is fine and all the pictures are there, until it does it again at some later...

    Help Vanishing e-mail on HTC Inspire

    When checking e-mail from Gmail or Cox, my HTC Inspire has no problem. However, when checking e-mail from Yahoo, the e-mail correctly opens and displays for about two seconds - then disappears. The e-mail still appears in the inbox but after opening it that first time, it'll always come up as...

    Speeding up WiFi!

    Found this on another forum and didn't see it mentioned here, but it sure worked for me. Go to Menu -> Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Wi-Fi Settings, then hit Menu again -> Advanced, and select "Best Wi-Fi performance." Not sure what it changed but it sure did work. I'll have to remember...

    Had to pull battery because...

    I'll go first: The tilt sensor stopped functioning (wouldn't go to landscape mode.) This may have been a flakey widget and not the phone, because a couple widgets were added just before the failure and they used the tilt sensor. It'll be interesting to see how many times I have to pull the...

    Help Mystery LED?

    In the Inspire's speaker grill, there's a multi-colored LED behind the grill on the left side, the one that lights up orange when it's charging - fine. However, there's what appears to be another LED on the right end of the grill... is it? I've never seen it light up. Or is it something more...

    My first hickup

    Been playing Angry Birds for a few days, no problem. Today I went into Menu/All Apps and... it was gone. Looked around a bit and couldn't find it, so I rebooted the phone. When I went back into the App list, it wasn't there - then briefly appeared for about 1/4 second and disappeared again...

    For those using Winamp

    So I transferred my music over to the Inspire and it plays great, however... 1. If I'm charging the phone from the PC via the USB cable, Winamp won't run because it says it doesn't have access to the SIM card. Okay, but I absolutely have the USB set to "charge-only." What the heck? Any way...

    Will an HSPA+ phone work on LTE?

    I was very surprised that this hasn't (apparently) been asked yet... even looked around via Google. So if I buy any of the newest HSPA+ phones, once LTE is fully deployed and switched on, is it going to work, or will it forever be limited to a lesser speed? Thanks, and please don't yell if...

    This whole teathering thing...

    Okay, I get it, phone manufacturers are in this to make money, but... The tethering charge on the Atrix dock has really brought this out into the light, and it makes me question how manufactures split up data charges. For example, if you get a data plan, you pay $XX per month - fine. BUT, if...

    Android sw stability vs "that other phone"

    Okay, I don't like "A vs. B" threads but hopefully this one's slightly different because it's not about nebulous and subjective issues. I'm a sw/hw engineering so I know about the different phones, hardware, and marketing spin. I've had a BB Bold for two years and it's coming up time to...
