If I add a photo to the "Download" folder on the SD card, the gallery will not pick it up until I restart the phone. Is there some way to force the gallery to resync the photos?

I used to use The Weather Channel app but it became very annoying with it's persistant warnings and not able to turn them off. Now I'm using WeatherBug and it never updates automatically. I'm frustrated. I would buy an app that worked but with the new 15 minute trial even that is iffy. Any...

I used to have a Windows phone and I found an app that allowed me to manually rotate the screen with the camera button. Is there anything like that available for the Android phones? Thanks

I asked this on the Motorola forum as well and am hoping someone somewhere can help. Am I missing a setting that will prevent WiFi from turning off every time the phone sleeps? The only setting I can find asks when to let it sleep and I have it set at never but every time I pick up the phone...

I finally got WiFi working reliably by setting my router to Wireless G. My current problem is how to keep WiFi from turning off. It doesn't quit while I'm using it like it once id, but it seems like it goes off or times out with non use. I have it set to never sleep but it seems to have a mind...

I have been waiting for my X to arrive and dreading the volume issue but either Motorola has addressed the issue at the factory or I'm extremely lucky (which isn't likely) but so far it is as loud as my original Droid. I'm very happy and relieved!

I just activated my new X. I signed into my Google account and all contacts restored but no apps. I went to the market and only the paid apps are showing. How do I get the free apps back. I have "My backup pro" backups on my Droid SD card. Can I copy the backups to the X SD card and restore from...

When I "check for updates" in the settings, it always just says "your system is up to date". It doesn't appear to check anything as there is no delay, just shows that message. How can it be up to date when there is an update ready? I checked for updates on a phone in the store and it said...

I'm eligible for New Every Two on 8 Aug and will probably get a Droid X to replace my Droid. How can I get all my apps, contacts, messages, etc from the Droid to the X? I have "My Backup Pro" and back up to the Droid's SD card. Can i just copy the SD card to my PC then back to the new SD card...

Is there a replacement keyboard that has a way to position the cursor without sliding out the useless physical keyboard? I despise the keyboard and would never slide it out if there were another way to move the cursor around. I wish I liked the Incredible, but I don't. I would pay retail for a...

From a recommendation on the forum I installed Camera Magic. It seems to take pictures but where does it store them? I take the shot and it says "saving" but I can't find them any where. I press the menu button and select gallery, but the pictures are nowhere to be found, only ones from the...

This weather thing with the media dock is getting frustrating. It worked again last night and early this morning but now it is down again. Maybe it is my problem this time, is anyone else having problems today?
