    Help Is there a fix for the GPS reboot issue?

    I've noticed on this forum comments about GPS - it appears that the only way to get it running is to make sure it is on before rebooting. Simply turning it on then trying to get a lock doesn't work, the phone has to be rebooted. Although not a show stopper, I find this to be a bit of a pain...

    Root A random screen animation question for Villain 10.2

    I noticed that, on the old Villain 5.5, the screen animation was quite funky - when you closed an app, it sort of zoomed out, back to the desktop. I haven't seen this with the newer ROM - is it possible? I've enabled all the screen animation options but all it does is slide. A pointless...

    Help Camera Issue - Keeps closing

    Root Turning off haptic keyboard feedback on Villain 5.3 ROM

    Don't know if it's just me, but I do not seem to be able to turn off the touch/haptic feedback for the keyboard since flashing this system. Using the old 'turn it off' option has no effect. Has anyone else had this happen? I was just thinking it might speed the keyboard up a little if I could...

    I keep accidentally turning my ring volume down or off

    This is a bit annoying - I keep pressing the rocker switch for the volume when I handle my phone. On a few occasions I have turned it down or even off by mistake. Is there a way to "lock" the ringer volume or does this mean a visit to the app market? Thanks in advance.

    Email Duplication alerts

    Hi - this is probably a stupid question and must have something to do with the way I have configured my Googlemail account, but I get a lot of duplication in my Notifications: I get a new mail notification (with an envelope icon) - it might say "4 unread mails" and I also get a New Email...

    Help - an idiots guide to a complete backup

    Hi - I've just been reading http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/39029-complete-backup.html regarding backup tools. What I am looking for is a way to backup my phone in an idiot proof fashion, so that I can get it back to the factory and OS settings it originally comes with. When I say backup...
