    Phone drops call, sticks on "hanging up"

    I've had this happen to me twice in the past week. I'm talking on the phone (long distance) and suddenly the call gets dropped, but the phone looks like it's still connected. So I hit the "hang up" icon, and the phone then spends at least 3 minutes saying "Hanging up" but never does. Then I...

    Why can't my computer see ALL the files on the phone and SD card?

    When I plug the Turbo2 into the computer and look at both the SD card and the phone itself, I don't see anywhere near the number of files I can see by using a File Manager on the phone itself. When I had a Galaxy 4, I COULD see all those files. I like backing my phone and SD card up to folders...

    Any way to back up the phone & SD card to the computer?

    I just traded in a Galaxy S4 for a Turbo 2. When I plugged the GS4 into the computer, I could see all the files on both the phone and the card, and was able to "select all" and copy those to a folder on my computer. (Doing so saved my butt more than a few times!) But when I plug the DT2 into...

    Does anyone actually like ICS?

    Lots of negative comments on these forums, and that's to be expected. But is there anyone out there who likes ICS and isn't experiencing any sort of problems with it? I'd love to hear the plus side!

    Do we HAVE to "upgrade" to ICS?

    I got the text from AT&T today and it says very specifically this upgrade won't be offered over the air. So the question is: do I HAVE to get it? Ever? After reading some of the posts here about slow, glitchy performance and lousy battery life, I'm really happy with my S2 just the way...

    How to get my WHOLE calendar from Google

    I've got a calendar on Gmail that goes back to December of 2009 and has all my appointments on it. But the Google calendar in my Samsung SG2 only goes back to last October. How can I tell Google to send my WHOLE calendar to my phone? Where is that setting? Thanks in advance!

    Incomplete Google Calendar on phone

    I've been using Google Calendar since I got my Droid in 2009. Sometime this fall I suddenly wasn't getting my WHOLE Google Calendar in the phone -- instead it was just the previous 4 or 5 months. I figured it was because the memory in the Droid was limiting the amount of information synced...

    Help What's this "MTP-Connected" stuff

    I plugged my wife's new S2 into the computer tonight for the first time and got a notification on the phone, "MTP-connected." Her phone then opened a window on the computer (Win XP) showing me folders for "phone" and "card." I understand what I'm seeing, but I don't get that on my month-old S2...

    Help Anyone else having Samsung TTS/Navigation problems?

    I switched the text-to-speech voice on my S2 to the Samsung TTS engine because the voice sounded more pleasant, and when I went into Navigation I was getting some mighty strange directions. It was as if the voice engine was reading some of the programming. I'd hear stuff like: "xml equals...

    RingGuard for those tired of accidentally changing the volume

    I'm loving the S2, except for the fact that, the way I grip it, I raise/lower the ring volume every time I squeeze the phone to turn it off. An app I had on my OG Droid that is coming in handy on the S2 is RingGuard. If you hit the volume, it will pop up a dialog asking if you meant to change...

    Help Can the S2 be "overcharged"?

    I'm sitting here with my new S2 on the USB cable to my computer. Suddenly it went "BLING!" and a message came on the screen: "Fully charged. Remove the charger." Now I'm wondering: what if I don't? Is it possible to OVER charge the battery? And how can I start out the day with a fresh...

    Possible to customize the 4 buttons at bottom of screen?

    Without running a separated launcher, is there any way to "customize" what the 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen are? For example, instead of "Messaging" I'd like that button to link to "Contacts." There's a video on YouTube that shows it being done, but it must not be for the current...

    How to set default Reminder/Alarm time?

    Anyone know how to set a default Reminder/Alarm time on the S2 from what it is now (nothing) to 5 minutes before? Seems to me I could do this on my OG Droid, but I can't find it on the S2. Thanks!

    Not all appointments are syncing-what's eating memory?

    I've noticed that the calendar in my rooted Droid1 isn't syncing all my past appointments. I understand that the Droid stops syncing things in the past if there's insufficient memory. I know the appointments exist -- they show up in my Google calendar (and, oddly enough, in my iPad calendar)...

    Droid X2 or Droid 3 as replacement for OG Droid?

    I've got an OG Droid that's starting to give me grief; my wife has a Droid Eris. Our Verizon contract comes due in November. Right now Verizon is running a Buy One/Get One promotion on both the X2 and the Droid 3. Since I don't want to pop big bucks twice when the Bionic comes out, I've been...

    Root "Stock font" for UD2.5

    I had to re-flash UD2.5 and now I can't get the "stock font" to load (I heard it's because the UD website is dead?). And the default font in UD2.5 is too small for me to read. Does anyone have a flashable "stock font" for UD2.5... or any other ideas? Thanks!

    Root How to change UD 2.5 lockscreen picture

    I'm running UD 2.5 on my OG Droid. Tonight I decided to change the wallpaper on my normal screens and did. Now when I turn on my phone, my lockscreen displays that horrible "folded arms" drawing of the Droid character. I used to have a large "UD" logo. Does anyone know how I can change that...

    CoPilot or Navigon or ?

    I'll be going on a trip to Alaska in a month and doing a lot of no-cell service hiking, and I need a self-contained navigation app for my Droid OG. I'd also love to be able to record hikes (like "Tracks" does with Google Nav). Mapdroyd doesn't have any maps for Alaska... go figure. I've...

    Root Constantly updating apps

    Ever since I rooted (UD 2.5) about a month ago, it seems that at least twice a week I have a dozen apps that the Market says I need to update (not the same dozen, either). In most cases it appears I've already installed the updates. Plus, I'm not getting automatic update notices -- I've got to...

    Root Beware: Rageagainstthecage

    This is probably old news to you folks, and I'm not meaning to cast aspersions on anyone. Tonight while doing a routine virus scan on my desktop, my virus program found a trojan in rageagainstthecage.bin. I'd downloaded this and used in this method...

    Root Diff between MyBackup-Pro and MyBackup-Root?

    I've got both MyBackup-Pro (paid for before my root days) and MyBackup-Root. Is there any difference between the two? I noticed when I run MyBackup-Pro, I get the "Superuser permissions have been granted" notice, so I assume it's backing up the same things as MB-root. But is it? Is there a...

    Root UD2.5: a looong time to get back to home screen

    I just rooted a few weeks ago, so I'm still a noob and am hoping some of you experienced folks could shed some insight. I'm running an OG Droid with UD2.5 (which is running the built in ADW Launcher). I've moved almost every app I can to the SD card (figuring I'd give the launcher more head...

    Root Could someone do a pre-flight check for me, please?

    Ok, I'm rooted and I'm about to flash my first-ever rom. Would someone let me know if I've forgotten anything? I'm on a Droid 1 with Froyo (83D) - I'm rooted - I've done a nandroid backup - I've got Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.1 when I reboot holding down "X" - I've done a Titanium...

    MapDroyd: where's Alaska?

    Does anyone know why MapDroyd's website lists maps for AlaskaEast and AlaskaWest, yet those options don't show up on the Android app, so I can't download them?

    Substitute app for Remote for PowerPoint

    What's a good substitute app for "Remote for PowerPoint"? It was free, unlimited use before the update, and now the dev wants $5.99 for it -- I only use it 3x per year -- and Lite version has a 15-slide limitation. Besides, I can't figure out where to download the paid version. I'm looking...
