    Home button acting up now

    Hey gang. Loving my Nexus S 4G, coming from a Hero. Lately though it seems I've been having a weird issue with the Home button. Sometimes when I tap it, instead of bringing me to the launcher, it pops up the recent 8 apps (as if I held it down, which I didn't). From there I can only pick an app...

    Locked myself out of my Hero

    I wear really tight Jordache jeans from the 80's. I swear they're coming back. Sometimes I'd pull out the phone and it's on the voice search page (long press search button). My wife sometimes purse dials me. It's pretty bad. I hate the unlock pattern thing too, so I wish they'd fix it.

    2 Contacts for yourself?

    I was wondering why the Hero has a "My contact card" when anyone with a gmail account already has an entry for themselves... or am I the only one? Does everyone else have two of themselves too?

    Only 1 google calendar syncing after reset

    I did a reset on my Hero to start over from the factory settings. Anyway, for some reason only my Home calendar is showing up, but I have about 5 that should (and did previously). Is there some sort of force push? I already tried manually syncing in the preferences. Also tried turning it off...

    Locked myself out of my Hero

    One of my gripes about the Hero (only of a few though) is that it's WAY to easy to butt dial people. Every time I pulled it from my pocket voice search would be waiting for me to say something, or I'd dial someone. Anyway, until they come up with a fix for the "hit menu twice" to get in bug, I...

    Email - pushed or pulled?

    All POP3 is pull If I'm not mistaken, the only "push" mail available is Exchange Server, which ofcourse is what the Blackberry BIS uses, and the Hero supports. POP3 is an old protocol from the early 90's and does not push mail. IMAP does not natively, but IMAP IDLE (which GMail and the Hero's...

    Coming over from a Pre and Precentral

    You won't regret it. My wife and I had our Pres for 25 days... just enough to figure out how slow the interface was before the 30 day cut off. The Hero is VERY nice. Also, I don't know about you, but the Pre's quality seemed rickety to me. You'll love how the Hero feels in your hand.

    Hanging up after a conversation...

    I was wondering if this was right. When I'm done talking, I look at my phone and the screen is still blank, so I hit the red hang up button, which you'd think would hang up the phone. Nope, it just wakes up the phone. Then I hit the on-screen hang up button to actually hang up. Is there a more...

    How to keep IM app from logging you in?

    Awesome, thanks. Wouldn't have thought of that. There still should be something in the app prefs though.

    How to keep IM app from logging you in?

    Each time I turn on my Hero, the IM app automatically logs my in, which I don't want. I went into the app and signed out, but there doesn't seem to be an option to uncheck "login on startup" or something like that. So I figured that I'd delete my AOL account from it... no dice. I'm stuck with it.
