Not sure you can do that easily from the stock calendar. There are other calendar apps (I use Business Calendar) that let you tap the location in your event listing and will take you directly to navigation.

Another vote for SwiftKey x tablet.

I bought an Archos 70it a little over a year ago as my first tablet. I still have it and still use it, but as a long time Palm fan I also had a Palm Pre for a phone and was anxiously awaiting the launch of the TouchPad, despite all that it was going through with the HP takeover. Bought the HP...

So is this a Gingerbread thing or did Samsung add this to the update. Samsung seems to have a habit of adding "features" that can't be turned off or changed even if you don't need them.

Wifi Hotspot and USB Tether by SVTP in the market has just been updated to work with Gingerbread on the Samsung Charge.

After the GB update [at least I never noticed it before the update] my ringer volume starts low for the first second or two when a call comes in, then it gets louder. I am using a custom mp3 ringtone and my ringer volume is set to maximum. It is certainly not a deal-breaker, but it does annoy me...

looks like GB broke the one by SVTP that worked on the charge without root.

I believe when you tap the little "show pictures" button in the email it remembers that setting for that sender. When you reset the default it actually turns off picture viewing for all senders and you have to reset each one again. I wish there was an option to always show pictures but I haven't...

I've been pleased with the Logitech Z515. Never tried the Jambox so I can't compare. Jambox looks worthy if you don't mind twice the price.

I'm looking forward to the improved GPS, although it has been tolerable for me. I'm wondering about Bluetoooth. Is it any more stable? About once every couple of days I have to turn it off and on again to get the charge to connect with my car's head unit. Is Bluetooth any more reliable on the...

I use Springpad. It does notes and tasks among other things and includes a number of widgets that can be configured in various ways. It also does online backup and can be synchronized between multiple devices (keep the same lists on your tablet and your phone).

These are all great suggestions. I have used handbrake [can be a little complicated to use, but it has gotten better], and the decryptor portion of DVDfab which is free. But I usually fall back to Magic DVD Ripper. It cost a few bucks - though the free trial will let you run the program 5 times...

Verizon has pretty much locked us out on customizing that one. Best thing to do is turn off the auto launch in dock settings then use an app called AutomateIt (it's in the market) to launch another car dock home screen (I use car home ultra, but there are others) which can be setup to use...

I have to put in a plug for my favorite calendar, Business Calendar made by Mikado. I'm not sure if it's on the market, but you can get it at the amazon app store (go to amazon.com to set that up if you haven't already). It costs a few bucks, but it is really a nice calendar that syncs with...

When I dock my charge in the car and bluetooth connects with the stereo the music player automatically starts playing - even if I haven't opened music player to play music for a long time. Is there a way to prevent the music player from starting up automatically? I suppose I could go into the...
