    How to play YouTube audio in background?

    Re: Youtube actually has this in the works. They know that people use their video service for music and probably just need to work out how they'll still be making the same amount of money from advertising if they can't guarantee that you're watching the screen.

    Dead Strip on Touchscreen

    Had this same thing last week, but my dead strip was a little lower. Sometimes it would press randomly all over the lower half of the screen and sometimes the area just wouldn't work. First thing that I noticed was that my status bar wouldn't pull down. I did a similar test with an app called...

    Notifications cause audio playback problems

    Nope, still noticing it. I had it plugged into a headphone amplifier and noticed crackling when I wasn't playing anything at all. Someone else mentioned turning off Wifi would help. It did - I hear it less, but still every once in a while.

    I just ran a PRL update and I haven't noticed it once in the past half hour of listening.

    Notifications cause audio playback problems

    I have noticed this too. Not sure if it's happening during updates. I didn't notice it at all while playing audio over Bluetooth. It seems to stop if I turn off Beats, though.

    How long does your EVO's battery last?

    I was in Chicago at the President's acceptance speech. The bandwidth and SMS capacity was totally killed by all the people constantly surfing/texting/streaming the whole thing. (Many of my texts didn't go through.) I had my screen on from about 7PM to 2AM using data and SMS, aside from when the...

    What is your favorite password manager? (2012 edition)

    I do IT support and have about 50 of my most helpless users' passwords in my head. For my own stuff, there are simply too many to remember if I'm careful about not re-using them. Also, even low-security applications sometimes require strong passwords (and others don't like...

    Could google wallet be causing these gmail/play store/maps bugs?

    I had the problem last week. Uninstalled Wallet, no problems anymore. I'll wait for an official word on the fixing of this issue before I try Wallet again. Force-closing Wallet to make other apps stable is not a solution.

    How long does your EVO's battery last?

    My usage of the phone has only gone up slightly since I switched from the OG Evo 2 weeks ago. I more data stuff running than before. In the past, I would not be able to get to the end of a Friday night on one (not old) battery. If I got up at 6AM and stayed out until 2AM, I would be switching...

    Thanks for the response. This seems like a great forum, but scrolling to find the content irks me. From a usability standpoint, the page should sort of go like this from top-to-bottom: Mobile Nations Header Android Central Header Banner Ad Breadcrumb trail Forums Header Content Items I that...

    What We'd Like to See in the Next Sense Update

    Have you tried Robin? It's a bloated for quick things, but it shows promise. (It's still a work in progress...)

    What We'd Like to See in the Next Sense Update

    * Weather animation like my old Evo. Beautiful Widgets has it, but there are issues. Found it! * Better customization of colors/etc without using skins/scenes/schemes/whatever. I just want to change the color of a few things. (Specifically the font color on home screen icons. I can't read the...
