    My precious EVO was stolen

    I was at work. It was in an large area open to the public but it was hidden because I had it on the charger I was flashing a kernel. I had to attend to something for less than 5 minutes and when I walked back it was gone. I had Lookout Mobile on it and I instantly logged in. For the longest...

    NookColor owner here. Does Words With Friends scale properly for you guys?

    This is what it looks like on rooted stock 2.1: You can see how the tile tray does not scale and the very right piece is not even movable. I've raised it as an official issue with Zynga and they've acknowledged it. Was just wondering if ya'll have this as well because the Tab has a 7"...

    Accessories Will a 2 amp car charger fry the Evo?

    I got a 2 amp car charger for my nook color and want to know if its safe to use for the Evo. I know the Evo typically charges at either 1 amp (out of wall) or 0.5 amp (out of computer), but not sure if this was risky.

    If you get a faulty AC adapter...

    Just use a different USB AC adapter. It seems a few NCs are having issues to where if you use it while its plugged into the supplied charger, you will get phantom touches on the screen. The cable is fine, its the adapter. On that note, the cable is a 2ma micro-usb...so your typical cable for...

    Accessories Sullivan Easel Case from BN

    I love this thing. It's 50 bucks but its durable as all hell and is awesome for web browsing. You can set it up like the pic above at around a 30 degree angle, or flip it around and do more like a 70 degree angle. I put a movie on the NC, laid in bed with this thing propped up on my...

    I just used it to sync my 'top rated' in itunes. When all is said and done, it was far easier than anything I've tried including Winamp and Doubletwist. I recommend looking into it for your Evo. It will also support windows media player.
