On Tuesday, 23 August, my Inspire showed a notifier saying, "System Update Available". After a little research, I learned it was the much awaited v2.3 release. I did the backup and make safe dance and sat down to install the update. Tap-tap, click, whir and the update looked like it was...

I'm trying to get "voice dial" to work with little success. Either I'm a dolt -- at 59 would not be a surprise -- or something is not working correctly -- ibid: 59 remark -- in the way that my contacts are stored or something. When I announce "Dial {contact}" the app finds all sorts of people...

I'm having troubles with an HTC-specific widget, but I don't know what to call it. I think it has a "People" or similar name. The widget displays contacts from a designated group as defined within your "people" or "contacts" app. You might want to show Family or Favorites or RecentCalls in this...

I fetched the Nook(tm) app for my HTC Inspire. It mostly runs and I do a lot of useful reading. The problem? The app crashes routinely. Sometimes it happens when the phone wants to do something else -- ring for a call, announce a message or email, alarm, etc -- while I'm reading. Sometimes...

When a call arrives at my phone, "magic happens" to use the caller-ID number value, search my contacts, and show something to announce the call. My contacts consist of: ** SIM data ** phone data ** data from Google (Gmail, Voice) ** data from configured social networks How does the phone's...

Is there an official name or designation for the phone-end data cable connector? Is the HTC Inspire(tm) phone connector something "standard" or is is proprietary? I know that there are male and female connectors for each of the USB-A, USB-B, mini-A, mini-B, micro-A, and micro-B. I also know...

Can someone explain how I continue to interact with Facebook(tm) or Twitter(tm) or LinkedIn(tm) without "link-ing" or "sync-ing" all over my people lists? For example, I have a pic for my son-in-law. I don't want his latest Facebook or Twitter pic to appear for new calls or messages or call...

When I get new MAIL [not Gmail(tm) ], my Droid plays one of my Music files instead of a designated "notification" or "alarm" or "ringtone" file. I've changed every setting that I could locate and cannot discover why this is happening. Oh, and as others have pointed out, one cannot silence...

My phone shows that I have good signal strength for a 3G/4G connection. It also shows an available wifi hotspot. The hotspot is a public, unsecured "open" hotspot. However, once connected you must provide a valid email address to an "authentication web page." This authentication times out...

Where do I find a description of the tree of folders used on my HTC Inspire with v2.2 (Froyo) Android? Where do "downloads" wind up by default? Where do text message attachments get "saved" by default? Where does the camera app put still images by default? Where does the vid-cam app put video...

JuiceDefender does a great job of managing wifi vs. 3G vs. battery use. However, I have what feels like a problem. I go into some place where there are lots of strong and secure wifi sites -- secure meaning I cannot use them at all. Next, I try to do some phone-data operation (check email...

I love the OpenHome desktop replacement for Android. There is a slider on every page. It opens right to left and holds "favorite" applications. How do I configure the list of favorites? There is another slider -- bottom to top -- that holds an A-Z list of all installed apps. Is there some way...

I'm running juicedefender with much success. Has anyone seen this behavior? Can anyone explain what is going wrong. I have JD configured to prefer wifi over 3G. I enter a space with a load of wifi nets visible. Sadly, all of the nets are locked or otherwise not accessible. When I try to access...

Has anyone heard any details about updates for Captivate from v2.1 to one of the several, now available newer editions v2.2, v2.3 or v3x? The rest of the world seems to have moved along, but I'm STILL WAITING. What gives? ~~~ 0;-Dan
