    Motorola connect 3rd party sms apps

    Nope, I kept those on. I have tried maybe a half dozen 3rd party SMS apps and the only one that works is Sliding Messages. I think this is because it still lets the default messaging app get notifications. You have to go into the stock app and turn them off to stop duplicates. Not a huge fan...

    Motorola connect 3rd party sms apps

    Motorola connect works great. However if I use a 3rd party sms app sms notifications don't come through. I think this is because it hijacks the sms notifications. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Google Voice: ""The number or code you have dialed is incorrect."

    I call my cell from time to time to test my GV voicemails as I change them when I am out of town etc. Once in a while I get a ""The number or code you have dialed is incorrect." message when I call. My cell rings fine so I know its dialed correctly. I tried it again a few minutes later and it...

    Dropping a pin in Google Maps

    This is great, however it pulls the name form the address and there is no way to change it. I wanted to save a location (a waterfall) in the sticks so next time I could find it easier, and it just pulls up the name of the national forest. I guess this kind of works though. Wow this is it...

    Dropping a pin in Google Maps

Naturally I opened up google maps, I have after all done this before on my iPad as well as my 3 year old WM phone in the past. Spent 10 or so minutes searching and searching, I can not find it. To say I am...

    shapewriter missing voice input button...

    I read that the new Droid 2 has a hardware button that makes the voice to text dialog come up, why cant someone make an app that does the same thing. Triple tap volume down button to make it come up etc., this is the kind of stuff that was pretty easy to do on WM>

    shapewriter missing voice input button...

    Keith- I tested this in a couple different apps and was not able to get the menu-->speak which you speak of. That would be great if it showed up however. Also, back in my WM days I had every hardware button programmed to do something (hold, double tap etc.) is there a way to program one of...

    shapewriter missing voice input button...

    Really love this keyboard but why on earth is there no voice input button... really a deal breaker. Does anyone know if the developer is going to add this in future update or if there is a way around thing. The workaround ideally should be super easy, I know you can hold to switch keyboards...

    free wifi tether

    I used unrevoked to root so I could use wifi tethering. From what I see the Google wifi tether app does not have the evo as a choice to download yet. Is there any other option to get wifi tethering (without paying the monthly cost of course)?
