    Junk aps factory installed

    Really the best way to deal with this is to root, or even easier, flash a custom ROM that is already rooted and debloated. I found a couple of very easy guides on XDA forums that take you step by step on what to download and how to do this. HOW TO: Flash ROMs with Odin3 v1.82, tailored to GB...

    So, are they ever going to fix the GPS?

    My GPS has worked from day one, but the problem I have as others have mentioned is that it takes quite a while for it to lock on, especially when moving. I downloaded the faster fix app and froze angry gps with Titanium Backup, so hopefully it will work better.

    Droid Charge HotSpot using SVTP app

    I found the SVTP app via this forum and it is the only one I've found that works with Gingerbread to connect my HP Touchpad via hotspot online. I tried Barnacle, Wi-Fi tether, etc., and none of them would work.

    Quick question: Does the free hot spot widget work with GB?

    I'll have to try this and see if it will allow me to connect my Touchpad to my Charge. The Gingerbread update seems to have broken Wireless Tether and although my Touchpad see my phone and claims to connect to it, I have no internet connection on my Touchpad.

    unable to save network- but it sees network

    I haven't tried that with my router yet. I was in a hotel when I first got it a couple of weeks ago, and it connected there to an open router with no problem. I'll have to switch my router and see what it does.

    I'm not using any kind of MAC filtering. I'm stumped because I simply can't find anything on why this is happening.

    unable to save network- but it sees network

    I just got my Charge and am trying to get it to connect to my network at home. I am using WPA2 PSK on my router. The phone sees the SSD of the network, correctly identifies the WPA2, but when I put in my network key and hit connect, I get a box that pops up and says "unable to save network," and...

    How thick is the Charge 2600mah extended battery?

    Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. The 3500mah Ebay ones then should be the same size. Given the cost difference, I think I'm going to give them a try. I saw the pics, but I didn't know if there was a difference in the thickness of the i400 galaxy extended door (that comes with...

    How thick is the Charge 2600mah extended battery?

    I'm looking online at the 2600mah battery, but cannot find the thickness dimension. The 3500mah batteries for the i400 galaxy S on Ebay are 10mm thick, and I know the normal and 2600mah batteries for the two are the same. So I am wondering if the 2600mah is the same thickness or not as it...

    Help the Noobie?

    I just rooted my phone via the EE4 guide last night and it is very easy. I did not however load a custom ROM as I wanted to backup all of my apps via Titanium Backup. Loading a custom ROM (basically the phone OS) will of course wipe out all data and settings. Seeing as I'm new to this, I didn't...
