    Marshmallow -- default apps problems

    1) I am no longer allowed to be without a default browser app. I have 3 different browsers that I like to select based on the type of site I'm going to. In Lollipop I could select the appropriate browser and "Just Once" to not set a default. Is there any way to enable "just once" kind of...

    Help Pandora skipping

    My SO has a non-rooted EVO, 2.2. Since a Pandora app update about a week ago, Pandora skips terribly. He's lucky to make it through 30 seconds of a song before it skips to the next song. He uninstalled and reinstalled, no help. Tried Slacker, same problem. FM Radio, on the other hand, works...

    OTA before 2.2?

    Sorry if this has been answered -- tried a search, but didn't see anything. My SO's phone has original unrooted stock ROM, no OTA. When accessing updates, the only update offered is the 1.47... OTA. Does this update need to be applied before the 2.2 update will be offered? Tx

    Root Confusion about backing up current system and installing custom ROM

    I've read through the step-by-step here, and while I've found it to be the clearest set of instructions I've encountered, I still have a couple points of confusion. It sounds like by the time I get to the end of Section 2 (version 1) I will have a custom ROM installed (2Q). Now I've used...

    Android System?

    My SO and I both have EVOs -- his battery drains about twice as fast as mine. His app list is here: Kevdog83's Apps on the PC36100 When he checks "Battery Use", Android System is consistently 85-90% of usage, while Cell Standby and Phone Idle are typically the two biggest items for my usage...

    Handcent "Quick Text"

    Is there any way to remove built-in "quick text" items from handcent? There are about 20 phrases that I will never ever use, and my additions way way down at the bottom of the list LOL

    Root unrevoked risk?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but given the cost of the EVO, plus my propensity for things I touch turning to crap, I'm wondering if there's any risk to installing/running unrevoked from unrevoked? If I understand correctly, this merely gives root access, leaving the rest of my android...

    Bluetooth Browsing

    With my Instinct, I could browse the pics etc on the phone from my Macbook Pro via Bluetooth. When I try to browse the EVO over bluetooth, I just get connection errors. Is this possible to do?

    Numeric Keyboard issue

    When I'm using the numeric keyboard, if I tap the space bar, it always switches back to the alpha keyboard (in addition to putting in a space). Most annoying! Any way around this?

    EVO activation question

    Here's the situation. My SO & I are on a 2-line contract with Sprint, contract end date 6/18/10, both upgrade-eligible. We went to our local Best Buy where, of course, EVOs are all sold out. The BB mobile guy at the store ordered two EVOs for us, to be shipped to our home, which we could then...

    apps?

    Apologies in advance 1) if my question is too stupid, and 2) if it's not posted in an appropriate place. I'm considering the Hero (or maybe EVO) when my contract is up, but have a question about installing apps. I read a lot about Apple rejecting apps for the iphone, and get the impression that...
