    Help Need help - Virgin suspended my account - thinking about unlocking and going to T-mobile

    So I bought my phone brand new off eBay. I activated it and it worked just long enough to no longer be covered by eBay buyer protection (longer than 45 days). Then one day I can't make or receive calls or texts. It actually happened twice, the first time I pressed "1" because the phone said "it...

    Texts being sent twice - Go SMS Pro

    One of my friends just told me that every time I text them they're receiving the message twice. Is this because both the stock app and Go SMS Pro are both sending the message? I'm sure some of you are using 3rd party apps, the stock one is fairly limited in terms of user interface (I like the...

    Help Is it possible to play audio/video without downloading first?

    I tried to listen to a song on soundcloud, flash is installed, but instead of playing the song it launched a download. Same thing happens if you try to play embedded video from any website other than YouTube. I installed the Soundcloud app, double checked that flash is updated, but no native...

    What text app do you use?

    I'm looking to change text apps. I was using Handscent, but it can't handle MMS messages (send or receive). I moved on to Go SMS Pro, and it was really nice, but now it doesn't support contact pics, so I've accidentally texted people a few times, they all look the same (stock icon). Some people...

    Getting control of actively running apps

    Anybody got a link on how to reign in apps that just won't stop turning themselves on? I'm noticing Google Talk, Maps, Yahoo Mail, Google+, YouTube, Voicemail, etc. are all running, all the time, even if I use a task manager to stop them. I've checked they're settings, and I've set...

    Any way to get five rows if icons instead of four?

    Seems an awful waste of space. Is this a limitation of Sense? I used to use the GoLauncher, is something like that the only way?

    Help I keep getting a two tone notification sound, but there's nothing in the menu

    The phone makes a little two tone notification, a mid note then a higher note. The LED flashes as if there's a notification. I open the phone, and the menu says I have no new notifications. No texts, emails, etc. It's really annoying, it's happened about 5 times today. Anybody know how to...

    Help How do you eliminate a spam app?

    I'm not sure which app brought the spam with it, but there's an app on one of my desktop screens called "DROID App", and it's got a picture of two dice with the words "apps & games" written on it. If you open it the browser launches and takes you to"livemobile" something and then redirects to...

    Help Any way to force usb storage?

    Been searching for a solution and no luck. When I connect the usb cable I'm not getting the offer to initiate usb storage. I've tried several computers. It's charging, but I can't copy pics/music to/from the phone. It seemed to work in a Win7 machine a week ago. Usually it's trying so hard...

    Magical cracking screen

    So I woke up yesterday and there was a giant crack running from the top right corner down to the bottom right by the home screen. Didn't drop the phone or do anything crazy to it. Then today, it's got another crack starting at the same place as the first one going to the left side, and a nice...

    Help MMS not working

    Whenever someone sends me a picture or something I get a button that says "download" and it lists the file size. If I click it it says "downloading" but when it finishes the button just goes back to being a download button. Sometimes I'll get an error message up top that says "message not...

    Help Anyone tried an 'Ankor' battery? Any good alternatives to stock battery?

    Wondering if anyone has tried and had luck with an aftermarket battery. I've got juice defender installed, I keep my brightness down, I turn off GPS, etc., etc., but I still lose 40% charge from about 1AM to 10AM while I'm sleeping. I even have the advanced Juice Defender that's supposed to make...

    Help Another battery life thread - just switched to CM7

    My battery life wasn't that bad before switching to CM7, some users reported extended battery life after loading the CM7 rom. However, I seem to be running out of juice a bit faster than normal, and the top two things that are using it are "Android System" @ 47% and "Dialer" at 47%. I went to...

    Help Voicemail notification won't go away

    I've seen this mentioned on other phone forums, but specific to this device. I suspect it was Hullomail that screwed something up, seems there's just no decent way to do voicemail on VM... Anyway, I've tried checking the voicemail a bunch of a times, rebooting, pulling the battery, it keeps...

    Does one really need some sort of anti theft/virus protection?

    Are these phones really vulnerable to virus's and ID theft n whatnot? I keep bluetooth off normally. Is there an app I should be running? I've seen a plethora of antivirus and antitheft apps, wondering if they're really necessary and if so can someone recommend a good one?
