    Boat Browser removed from Android market

    I've recently discovered and started using Boat Browser. Its treatment of tabs is nearly as convenient as Firefox, and it doesn't have the problems that Firefox does (low-resolution graphics, no Flash support). This morning when I opened Boat Browser I got a notification saying that "due to...

    Video player with "commercial skip" buttons

    Is there a video player with on-screen buttons that skip ahead/back in the program a fixed amount (extra credit if the amount of the skip is programmable, especially if the forward and backward amounts can be set to different values)? I currently use VPlayer and like nearly everything about it...

    Help Intermittent "vibrate" function

    The "vibrate" function on my Nexus One has recently become flaky. I'll be typing along in Swype and then suddenly the phone will stop vibrating on touches. Generally it stays off for a while (until I switch apps and put the phone in standby) and then it will fix itself. I'm not sure if this...

    Help Migrating apps to a warranty replacement phone (resolved)

    My power button finally got to the point that the phone was often unusable, so I called HTC support and got a warranty replacement. It arrived today, and I promptly flashed it up to FRF83 (I was running FRF72 on my old phone). Now I have a stupid question: how do I get all my applications back...

    SlideIT demo expired

    I had thought that the "Lite" version of SlideIT was nagware -- that you could use it for free as long as you were willing to put up with occasional interrupts by a pop-up asking you to buy the full version. That turns out not to be the case: the "Lite" version is actually a "demo" version that...

    International data roaming

    Does T-Mobile have an option for pre-purchasing a block of data for international roaming so you don't have to pay the normal extortionate rate for data? (Last time I was in Germany a friend had done that with AT&T for his iPhone so we could use Google maps and such. I don't know what he paid...

    Passwords in the browser

    The browser (on my Nexus One, Android 2.1, at least) has an option in settings to remember passwords. I'm assuming that means that somehow the browser can fill in passwords for sites automatically so I don't have to type them every time, the way FireFox does on my Windows computer. However, I...

    Help Sound issue with Pandora and navigation together

    I tried running navigation and Pandora together for the first time last night, just playing the audio over the built-in speaker (I don't have a way yet of connecting the Nexus One to my car's audio system). At first I was very pleased with the results: the voice prompts would interrupt the...

    Multi-page TIFF (FAX) display

    Is there an application that displays multi-page TIFF files? I use an electronic FAX service that emails incoming FAXes as attachments in TIFF format to my Gmail account. The Gmail app (on the Nexus, at least) displays the first page of the FAX inline; furthermore, the "preview" button will...

    Google nav, bluetooth, and outgoing phone calls

    Given the fact that one still in 2.1 cannot initiate outgoing calls by using voice dialing from a bluetooth headset, is there any way to make an outgoing call while using the navigation app without losing the current destination and having to set up navigation again from scratch? Does anyone...

    Calendar year view

    I just got a Nexus One. This is my first exposure to Android; I'm coming from a Windows Mobile (and, before that, PocketPC) background. One of the things I used frequently is the year-at-a-time view of the calendar, both for quick navigation to a date far in the future and just to see things...
