    News Forget buying an expensive TV for Black Friday — this dongle gave my 'old' TV new life

    I love the functionality of this little device and also really appreciate the minimalistic remote. However, I found the device really anemic and under powered, so I eventually gave it up and got an NVidia Shield instead. Same experience, but better performance. Google hasn't refreshed this...

    ARGH! Why does Evo only connect sporadically as USB storage???

    When I plug my Evo into the computer's USB, i get a notification that the Evo is charging. If that's all I want, I just leave it. If I want to connect as a USB drive, I pull down the notification bar and click on the icon for the "charging" entry. That brings up the dialog where you get to...

    Home Screen apps

    Do yourself a favor and read the instruction book that came with your Evo. That will save you a lot of headaches.

    App to auto reject calls from blocked/private numbers?

    I use CallFilter and like it better than the others I tried (including Call Block). I didn't realize that it will disconnect me if it blocks a call while I am currently connected on another call -- I guess that situation hasn't happened to me, yet.

    Help looking for headphones w/mic for the evo

    I bought "V-MODA Vibe Duo Earbuds/Headset" from a recommendation by someone else. I was a little skeptical because they were only $23. But I ended up liking them so much I bought two more pairs: Amazon.com: V-MODA Vibe Duo Earbuds/Headset

    Whats with the fear of backup batteries?

    I also agree with the previous posters. If you keep your evo in a case (I use Innocase), its even more of a pain to switch the battery. Anyway, all I need to to do is to turn off 4G and I get 12+ hours of average use, and 3G is plenty fast enough for most stuff. The odd occasion when I really...

    DVD to Android what is the best program??

    For ripping DVDs to the PC (which removes the encryption and copy protection), I use DVDFab. For converting between different video formats (especially to files that will play on my Evo), I use DVD Catalyst (a lot of people use handbrake, but I like DVD Catalyst better). Here are the links...

    MPEG Videos

    Either use RockPlayer, or convert the video to a format supported atively by the Evo. I do the later using the free utility "DVD Catalyst Free for HTC Evo". You can download it here: http://www.tools4movies.com/free/dcf_evo_install.zip

    Need AVI to 3gp conversion software

    I found a great utility (and its free) that will convert just about any video file into the perfect Evo video: "DVD Catalyst Free for HTC Evo". It will create mp4 files, not 3gp, but they play perfectly on the Evo. It couldn't be easier to use.There are no options or settings. You just drag and...

    handbrake videos?

    Forget about futzing around with Handbrake settings.

It couldn't be easier to use.There are no options or settings. You just drag and drop the video you...

    battery indicator app??

    I use "Battery Left". First you calibrate it by running your battery completely to dead, then it not only tells you % left, but a predicted time-until-dead based on current consumption rate. I find it much more useful to know that I've got 2 hours of battery life left instead of 18%, for example.
