    I've been using it since it became available, but don't get spam. Curious.

    notification sounds for mail app driving me crazy!

    I use gmail. The menu items sound a bit different than yours. After selecting the account, I then select "inbox" from the "labels to notify" item. In there, I select "ringtone", and there I have to select "silent" ringtone. Somewhat complex! Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2

    Changing Contact Pictures

    Sent from my GT-P7310 using Tapatalk 2 Since the ICE update, I am no longer able to add or change a picture in contacts. Error message is something like "unfortunately, contact stopped working." Anyone else have this problem? My contacts are synced with Google, so the contact pictures are...

    What's up with that? The "limited commercials" show up, but then nothing happens. I've contacted Hulu but no response yet.

    to buy or not to buy

    Redwind30, I was in a very similar situation as you, having a Nook 1st edition. I wasn't very interested in the new Nook color tablet since I didn't want to be tied to B&N for their app selection. I have my second android phone so am familiar with the OS. I purchased the 8.9 about a month ago...

    HTC People Widget "Forgets" Settings - HELP!!!

    I've had the same problem since the Droid Eris on 1.5. I figured that a new phone and 2.2, HTC would have fixed the problem, but no. I haven't tried the widget again since the GB update, but do not expect it to be fixed.

    Micro USB coming loose!

    I've had my phone for three+ weeks now and that has not happened. However, I have been concerned that it might since the micro usb plug is very hard to insert and remove. Would be interested to know if anyone has "lubricated" the plug to help minimize this problem.

    Grainy Contact Photos?

    The problem is related to syncing google contacts. It replaces your higher res photo with the downsized icon in google contacts. The only way around this and keeping syncing is to create a new Phone contact on your phone, selecting the option to get contact photo from phone and then link the...
