    Droid Atrix HD Froze and shut off, help!!

    I have the problem from time to time with my Atrix HD. In fact, had it when I first got the phone. Usually when it happens, i notice that the back of the phone is warm. When it happens, I shut the phone down for a few hours, then let it charge on a wall charger overnight. Mind you, this is...

    New Tablets for Christmas 2012

    I think it depends upon the age of the children and what they will be using it for. I bought two 7 in hers for my teens at the beginning of the summer. One is the Arnova 7 G3, one is the Cosby Kyros 7042. Both came with ICS pre loaded and cost just over $100. However, once my teens started...

    What is the sd card listed as

    Depending on what version of Android you're using and how you have your settings, plugging the phone into your PC should make it show up with either the device name or with a generic name like 'USB storage device' or something. I think it depends on whether you have the drivers for the phone...

    [APP] Android Tablet Apps - Web's Largest Database of Android Tab

    Re: [APP] Android Tablet Apps - Web's Largest Database of Android If your tablet came with something other than google play, it probably isn't an "approved" device. check out xda-developers and see if someone has found a way to get the google apps framework on your device.

    best browser

    I use Dolphin HD. It works great for just about everything, though I do wish it was a little easier to manage bookmarks. I've tried Chrome Beta (I'm on ICS). obviously the integration with my desktop Chrome favorites is great, but the lack of flash support makes it a no-go.

    Contact's number shows up in Messaging instead of name

    I use GO SMS for messaging and have found that when this starts happening, it means I have too many messages saved. I go through and delete a bunch, restart the app, and it goes back to working fine. Don't know if this would fix the issue in the stock messaging app, if that's what you're using.

    beware XDA: its not the same any more

    I don't think it is fair of you to disparage XDA just because they do something you don't agree with, especially when you do it somewhere outside their arena where they can't present their point of view. XDA has exploded in popularity over the last few years, and they are most likely deleting...

    Docs to Go vs QuickOffice

    The biggest drawbacks I've found to Quick Office is not working with SD cards and not being able to handle complex formulas in Excel. I have the full versions of both, and I use Quick Office for most things except Excel. Quick Office is a little more intuitive imo, and I like the menu...

    HTC Inspire and data overage charges. Please help?!

    I use smart limits for my kids' phones. You can limit the mobile data that he uses over the network, which is the mobile data that you pay for. Just go into smart limits and put in the max data you want to allow him to use. If you have a data plan, set the limit a little lower than the plan...

    Case/Screen Protector?

    I bought the Vipertek leather case folio off amazon. It has a built is multi-position stand. It is custom sized for the A500 and it works great. To my knowledge the screen is not gorilla glass. I would recommend some kind of screen protector because the glass is a fingerprint magnet. An...

    Flash not working

    Ha, okay figured out it was the Firefox browser that was the problem. I'm not crazy about the stock browser though. Are any of the other browsers (Opera, Dolphin, etc.) flash compatible?

    Flash not working

    I have a stock A500 with the 3.2 OTA. It has flash 11 installed as system app. I have never been able to get it to work. I can't uninstall it. It will only let me uninstall the updates, which I've tried (no help). What do I need to do to get flash working on this thing?

    Looking for feedback on this tablet

    I don't use bluetooth to tether. I have a HTC Inspire rooted with CM7, and just turn it into a wifi hotspot. CM7 seeems to be one of the only ROMs that turns off the carrier lock on this feature.
