    Alert in Status Bar: ?Unable to connect to the Wi-Fi network?

    Ever since upgrading to Gingerbread I?m getting an occasional alert in the notification bar on the top left saying ?Unable to connect to the Wi-Fi network.? The problem is that I?m getting this alert at what seems like inappropriate times, such as after I move from a wi-fi connection to my car...

    white screen green htc logo

    Good thought, but this is the way I've been doing it (using the back button) and I often get the dreaded white screen "loading" delay.

    white screen green htc logo

    I have this issue regularly and frankly it's driving me crazy as well.

    white screen green htc logo

    I have this same problem on a regular basis and I get no notification that my SD card is being read. I thought the slow loading of the home screen and slow re-populating of the apps list was caused by a cache issue based on something I read on another thread. So I downloaded an app that...

    Shift signal strength/reception compared to Palm Pre?

    Also a former Pre user and signal strength seems comparable to me. I like the Shift better than the Pre overall (and I was a launch day Pre owner who loved my Pre). Build quality on the Shift is better than the Pre and of course the Android app selection is much better. For example, email on...

    Gmail App - Turn off conversation mode?

    I'm using K-9 Mail rather than the Gmail app for this very reason (so I can delete a single message in a conversation). I really find it hard to believe that this option is not available in the Gmail app but I sure can't find it.

    Home screen delay

    This was driving me crazy as well. Try this. It worked for me: 1. Download the free app "Quick App Clean Cache" from the Android Market. 2. Run the app and click the "Clear all" button on the top right. You'll need to do this every so often but it should solve your problem.

    Text Entry Shortcuts

    That's exactly what I was looking for. This is going to make the transition from the Pre much easier for me. Thanks!

    Text Entry Shortcuts

    I'm certain these shortcuts were built in to the Pre because I never added or modified them. I'm trying out the Smart Keyboard app which let's you create auto text shortcuts for the on screen keyboard but apparently not for the hard keyboard. Has anyone found any way (third-party app or...

    Text Entry Shortcuts

    I'm a former Palm Pre owner trying to get up to speed with my new EVO Shift. On my Pre, there were built-in text shortcuts. For example, whenever I typed "u" it expanded to "you" and "r" expanded to "are." Does Android and the Evo Shift have similar shortcut capabilities? I see there is an app...

    Roam Only for HTC Evo Shift 4g?

    I too have just made this same move (from Pre to Evo Shift) and am interested in a roam only app that does not require rooting. Is there such a thing?
