    Where are pictures saved?

    I download and download and cannot find them. Also happens to pictures from Yahoo. This is extremely annoying. Also, if I have a photo stored in my gallery, I can't get it to attach to a text message. If I take a photo it's ok and attached. What I don't understand is how a major manufacturer...

    GPS gone after update

    Same thing happened to me. I found it again under the Google Maps app. It seems the "navigation" app was eliminated. What doofus is making this decision?

    Droid DNA: What will it take for you to upgrade?

    Post KitKat update. I hate this update. What are they thinking? Options have been removed. The GPS function is buried. It still works but it's not as easy to activate. My weather widget no longer works. Now I must let them know my every move (which I won't do) to get the weather on the screen...

    SOLVED: Requesting Access to Gmail/Picasa when opening Gallery after KitKat update?

    Something must have changed. I am unable to locate the place to unsync Picasa albums in the dashboard. I've never had a Picasa album so there seems to be an issue with Picasa not showing up. Any ideas? The steps outlined above do not seem to apply to the current google set up, or at least I'm...

    Droid DNA: What will it take for you to upgrade?

    At this juncture, not much. I liked my previous HTC Iceberg which I had with TMo for several years and which was excellent. I bought the DNA for the size and screen quality and relative ease of texting. I also thought the HTC interface on this phone would be as good as the previous. There are...

    HTC Droid DNA - Anyone have the 4.4.2 Update yet?

    Just received the first of what they say will be two updates that preceed the KK update. But, typically with Verizon, NO info on the second update or when KK arrives. Phone has been working better since the HTC operating system overhaul/update. But there are still so many annoying quirks I...

    Can't Get *&^X@# Video off this Phone

    Update and FYI - This phone evidently records video in HD at 1080p. It was transferred to my desktop -- so fast thanks to Phil's WIFI explored -- but than could not be viewed as usual. It required Quick Time, even on the desktop. To share, I uploaded it to Vimeo which then informed me that...

    Can't Get *&^X@# Video off this Phone

    Little update. The WiFi app transfer worked perfectly. The video downloaded -- but only as an audio file. So still no video. I've never had this happen with any other device.

    Can't Get *&^X@# Video off this Phone

    Wow, Phil thanks. That worked perfectly. Do you find it to be secure?

    Can't Get *&^X@# Video off this Phone

    I took several videos with the phone including one that is longish (5 min). Then I hooked up the phone to my desktop and went into the DCIM file to move the vids to my hard drive. I can't share the long one as the file is too large and I need to compress it on the desktop. The short files moved...

    DNA Browser Question

    Excuse the dumb question. But does the DNA have Chrome? The browser icon looks generic. Yesterday, I wanted to watch news videos on the Boston situation. But the videos wouldn't play. I got some message about Chrome and needing Adobe Flash, and something being disabled in the plug ins. But...

    Main Issues With DNA

    Had mine 3 weeks. Like the phone. But I do miss being able to voice-activate dial from the front of the phone. The Google voice dailing is inside on the smart screen. My previous Gingerbread HTC Iceberg/Tmo My Touch 4G had a very handy exterior button -- great feature in the car. I'm having...

    Interesting CNet article, compares iPhone vs DNA (Android)

    Interesting. My choices came down to these two. I chose the DNA for exactly the reasons the author states.

    No Voicemail Notification

    This feature must be turned on. Same thing happened to me. But they showed me at the phone store how to do it. Once it's on it works just fine. Got to Voice Mail. Go to Menu Go to Settings Go to Notifications

    I'm a Quirky Phone User - Is DNA for Me? Advice Please

    Update: I went for it today. It works beautifully with my car bluetooth and everything else has gone very smoothly. Many thanks to all for the most reliable information about the DNA. Hopefully, this thread will be of some use to others as well.
