    Setup specific keyboard per app?

    I'm a big fan of Google's keyboard except when using the stock email app. It's difficult to explain but basically when I attempt to edit a word it will add the new word in the middle and not delete etc.... It's just a disaster for me. I also have Swiftkey but only want to use it when using the...

    Anyway to enable swipe up to close an app?

    I've come over from using an iPhone for the past few years. One of my favorite app was a jailbreak app named Zephyr. One of the features was closing a running app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. For example, if I was using gmail I could close the app by swiping up from the bottom of...

    Am I missing something on the email app?

    Today I picked up an HTC One and am using AT&T's 14 return period to see if I can switch from an iPhone 5. As a long time iPhone user I am use to seeing emails with full pictures and embedded HTML auto loaded when I open an email. I have searched both the forums and google with no avail, to me I...

    GPS and location not finding the Droid 2 in Latitude

    My wife has a Droid 2 (not global) and has had it since around launch. I had read somewhere, someone suggesting to use Google Latitude as a "find my lost phone" service. We were using that and it was great at pinpointing her location especially when she leaves her phone someplace. Now a few...

    Never rooted, going to try, couple of quick questions

    OK, I just got a Droid 2 (long story why). The phone is great but I really want to wireless tether so I'm planning on rooting for that reason only. My question is: Can I just root the way Jerry outlined in the rooting for newbies post and then just install one of the wifi tether apps from the...

    Do you think the Verizon Galaxy tab will have hotspot capabilities?

    Like the title says, do you think it will be able to act as a hotspot? I'm probably going to get one either way but hotspot would seal the deal. I haven't heard anything yet but maybe someone else has.

    Amazon selling Fascinate for one cent

    I don't know how long they have been doing this for or for how much longer but right now Amazon.com is selling the Fascinate for only a penny. I'm sure the usual new service only with a 2 year contract will apply but you can't beat getting a $200 phone for a cent. Amazon.com: Samsung Fascinate...

    Is there a way to use music as ringtone?

    I know on the Moto Droid all you have to do is long press a song in your music library and then choose it as a ringtone. I've tried the same on the captivate but it doesn't work. Has anyone found a way to use music as a ringtone?

    Former iPhone user, do you get better AT&T reception with Android?

    I hear mixed reviews on AT&T. I know it is not as good as Verizon but it appears most people who complain the loudest about AT&T have the iPhone. My question is do any former iPhone users notice a significant increase in call quality and reception after switching to Android (Backflip, Aria, or...

    Is the success of Android on Verizon slowing down their 3G?

    First off this is NOT a bash on Verizon. They have the best coverage of 3G without a doubt and with the exception of when I owned the Storm 1, I have never had a dropped call. Now I've been noticing that the download speed with Verizon has progressively been getting slower. When I first...

    Does Nexus one support AVRCP (bluetooth remote)?

    I've search this forum and checked Google.com/phone specifications but can't seem to find an answer so I'll ask it here. Does the Nexus One support AVRCP or in other words bluetooth remote. Even more specifically do any owners use Motorola S9-HD headphone with their Nexus one and if so do the...

    Droid is the second most popular searched gadget on CNET

    I saw a video on CNET's website where they listed the top 5 searched gadgets in 2010 on CNET.com. It could be any gadget (camera, computer, printer, navigation, etc...). The second most popular was the Motorola Droid and it was only behind the Nexus One. The fifth was the HTC hero, the forth...

    Email loading slow

    Is it just me or does everyone have an issue from time to time with a specific email taking forever to load. I'll open an email and then there will be a white screen with the text "loading" with the dot wheel (not turning) on the screen and that's it. If I delete the email because it's junk, it...

    Screen locks after phone call

    When I first started to use my droid and would make a phone call, after the call ended the screen was still accessible so I could hit end etc... But for quite a while now when my call ends the screen is locked and I have to enter my pattern to access the screen to end the call. I have the screen...

    Has anyone had any success using Pdanet with their Droid on a Mac? Specifically using bluetooth. I've tried several times and it appears that it is about to work where a screen pops up showing data usage but that disappears quickly. After that I get nothing. I did a search on the internet...

    Whenever I try to purchase an app where the the price is listed in British pounds, I always get an invalid credit card error message. But buying any app listed in US dollars is just fine. I have an AMEX stored in my google checkout if that matters. Thanks for the help.
