Hi, all. I've run into my first minor problem with the phone. The gmail app works great. This afternoon, I set up my work email as an exchange account using the stock email app. When new email comes in, I get a notification in the status bar, and the number of new emails appears in the icon. But...

Hi, all. Sadly, the headphone jack on my X is dying on me. I want to exchange it for a new one, but it took me forever to get the phone just the way I want it. Is there a way to backup everything on my phone - apps, settings, theme, layout, etc? And then is it easy to apply that backup to a new...

Hi, folks. Just wondering what earbuds people are using with the phone? I was using a pair of Sennheiser mm50 ip, which sounded good, and the mic worked. However, they crapped out on me last night (second pair in a year!). So now I'm on the hunt for a replacement pair. I like the in-ear buds...

Hi, folks. I love my DX, but I hate the fact that I can barely see the screen when I'm outside during the day. Why did the people at Motorola think that using white text on dark backgrounds was a good idea? Is there any way around this, besides installing individual apps that have better color...

Hi, everyone. A quick question for Google Voice users: Do you use GV for texting? I'm thinking about telling my friends and family to use my GV number instead of my cell number. Seems like an easy way to save $20, since I won't have to pay Verizon for a text plan. Does anyone use GV for this...

Well, I've had my Evo for a week, now. And I've tried to ignore this issue, but I just can't anymore. I love, love, love the Evo. And I love, love, love Android. I broke my contract w/AT&T (iPhone) so that I could have a more open platform on a network that actually worked. Unfortunately, I have...

Hi, folks. Another handcent question here. When I get a new text messages, the handcent popup displays an old one. For example, this morning, I sent a text message to Chris. He replied. This afternoon I received a text message from Erica. But the popup displayed this morning's message from...

I got my white Evo on Thursday. After a few hours, I noticed that the right side of the battery cover was loose. It wasn't about to fall off, but it was like a loose tooth. I went back to Best Buy yesterday, and the sales person took a look and said that I could exchange it. Well, the second...

Hi, folks. So after stalking this phone for weeks, I finally got one yesterday. I'm coming to android from the iPhone, and the transition has been a little overwhelming. While I love all of the different settings and options, those same settings and options make it tricky to find what I need to...

Hi, folks. I'm coming to the Evo from the iPhone (pre-ordered the white one at BB yesterday). I commute 2.5 hours/day, and use my iPhone to listen to music while in transit. I'm looking for a good pair of earbuds that have a mic and button to end calls, pause and play music, and skip through...

I'm so restless! Of course, now that I've decided to jump from the Apple ship and into Evo waters, there's nary an Evo to be had. I can't wait for Sprint to get these in stock. Every single Sprint store in NYC is sold out. And I don't want to go to BB or RS because then I can't get Sprint's...

Keep it mind, David Pogue drinks Jobs' koolaid. NY Times Review

Hi, all. I'm an iPhone user in NYC who is fed up with AT&T. The last straw was last night when the network couldn't handle a call to 911 --- while I had 5 bars on my phone! Anyway. . . I'm seriously considering the EVO. It's sold out everywhere, but I had a chance to play with one at a Sprint...
