    Keypad Shortcuts Keep Opening Apps. How To Turn them Off?

    That will happen once it gets the Android 2.2 update. It's also up to the app developer to enable this feature i believe.

    Transform for first smartphone?

    Based on the criteria you gave, there is no other logical choice other than the Transform. Any WM6 phone with a kb that Sprint has is a dead-end since WM7 is coming in Q1. The only other Sprint Android phone with kb is the Intercept, which is also a dead-end (no Froyo 2.2 or beyond). All the...

    Samsung Transform or Optimus S

    I think it's an apples to oranges comparison. The main difference for most folks is that one is a slider and one is not. For example, SWMBO said she absolutely needs a "real" keyboard, so the Optimus was out of the question, and I wasn't about to pay the $10 monthly premium for the Epic for her...

    Battery Life Help!!

    Anything is possible with these devices. Heck, I swapped my Evo at least twice at the Sprint Corp store within the first 30 days until I got a device I could live with (afterall, we're still paying $200 for these things). So yes, could be a bad battery or bad device build. I would confirm on the...

    Battery Life Help!!

    50% is not good. Samsung Epic users have reported a software glitch that makes their TWS (time without signal) high also. Supposedly by just toggling Airplane mode after a reboot solves this. So if I was you try doing a reboot, toggle airplane mode on and then off, then monitor your TWS...

    Battery Life Help!!

    KM, One thingto check is cell signal. A CDMA phone with weak signal is a sure fire way to drain the battery. Goto: Settings -> About Phone -> Battery -> Battery Use -> Cell standby Then look for "Time without signal" Anything in the double digits % (>10) is a problem. Related story: I...

    Sync Contacts and Calendar with Outlook?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, upon further investigation this program seems like trouble and a rip-off according to folks who have purchased it. The Missing Sync for Android 1.4 Review & Rating | PCMag.com

    Sync Contacts and Calendar with Outlook?

    Greetings, I'm already running an Evo and use the HTC sync program to sync my calendar and contacts with Outlook on my PC. Just picked up a Transfrom for my wife, and I don't see any applications on Samsung's site for doing the sync. What is everyone else using to accomplish this? (And no, we...

    Music setup on the EVO - Earphones and player

    I think you nailed this one. I had one more pair of headphones in my house to try, a pair of Sennheiser over the ear HD201's, and these sound fine. There still seems to be a lack of bass (slight) when compared to other MP3 players we have. So I'm thinking impedance mismatch with the other wired...
