Two thoughts. Check view settings to see if it is set to display all messages, or just all unread messages. Second, I have found that when I **** down Outlook on my computer in the office it continues to run in the background. If I want access to email when I leave the office I have to shut...

That is just what I needed. Installing HC went without a hitch, but I could not get the computer to recognize the nook. The post above was VERY helpful.

In K9 polling can bet set at different intervals for each account. So, to set it go into you account. Hit the menu button on the phone (bottom, far left). Select more. Select Settings. Select Account Settings. Select Fetching Mail. Select Folder Poll Frequency. Make your selection.

They do look awesome. I like that system info widget.

I think you made a lot of very good points in your posts. On thing that differentiates the smartphone market from the PC market is the subsidies provided by the carriers. Despite the pleadings of the AC guys, most still buy smartphones with a contract and a subsidy. If the carrier is going...

Ok, but that does not address the current uproar. I have a Captivate, and it CAN be updated. I know, because I have done it. I run Froyo on my Captivate, and it is great. In that regard it is no different from the laptops I bought. The difference is that with smartphones there is a user...

When I migrated from BB to android I was in the same boat with regard to Outlook. I hated it at first, but now I haven;t even thought about it in months. I got a free program from Google that synchs my Outlook calender with my gmail calender, and it works great. For email I use k-9 mail...

I would like to hear to general discussions about the whole menatility that the tech savvy smartphone users have about updates. When it comes to OS updates we (at least many of us) expect them, and we expect them for free (of course). We expect it because that is the way it has been, at or at...

I also came from the crackberry world, and I updated my BB OS several times doing just what you described. Rooting and flashing a new ROM is certainly more involved on an android. I now have a Captivate. Here is a link to some videos. Watch the 3-part video on this page and you will have a...

Although I have rooted and changed to Cognition, I understand why people wait. For what these devices cost it is not unreasonable to expect the update. Why root when you shouldn't have to? Rooting is not without potential problems - big ones. I waited a long time before deciding to take the...

I did not have a Torch, but I also came from BB. I had a Curve, Bold, and Bold 2. After using the Captivate, I would not go back to the BB OS. If you are the type who updated your BB OS, then I would recommend watching the videos in the ROMS/Hacks section and upgrading your Captivate with the...

My middle school daughter has an iPhone. I have played with it quite a bit. It is nice device, but it is not the device for me. I like my android phone much better. Will some VZ users jump ship? Sure. Love it or hate it, the iPhone is an iconic device, and some will switch just to try it...

I feel your pain. Mine was acting the same way ... until 2 days ago. Then I rooted it and installed Cognition. Now it runs like an Indy race car. I simply followed the steps in the videos from this forum. Piece of cake.

Thanks for the feedback. Issue solved. User error. :o

Same here. I was very hesitant, but after spending a LOT of time researching it, I could see no real downside. Now I wish I had done it a long time ago. The performance upgrade is so significant (at least it is on my device) that it is like having a new phone. My phone had gotten like an...
