[FONT=Courier New]I am having issues trying to tether using PdaNet. The connection will cycle round and round trying to connect, then disconnecting, then reconnecting. Sometimes it

I wanted a "white noise" machine to help me sleep at night. Couldn't find one locally, so I punched it into Google. Lo and behold, there was a noise app for only 99 cents! Much better than paying for product plus shipping. :D The app - SimplyNoise - works great. But can anyone see a...

I have a Verizon XV6900 (made by HTC) running WinMobile 6.1 and my Fascinate. I have a Plantronics 510 bluetooth that's been paired with both phones. I don't leave the bluetooth device on all the time. Whenever I turn it on, the XV6900 picks it up within seconds; the Fascinate, though...

I have two accounts on my K-9 Mail, both to personal web site emails. I had to move one site and the associated email to a different hosting company. First I tried editing the original account to point to the new mail servers, but it wouldn't go through. So I created a third account for the...

My phone has constantly failed the Froyo OTA. I'm not real worried - it's doing okay on 2.1. But it did lock up yesterday (screen turned off immediately, like it had a 1/2 second timeout). The only fix was a factory reset. Took me two hours to reset my apps! I also figured why not try...

Probably a silly question .... I have Google Reader pointing to one blog feed. When I see new items, is it actually downloading that item to my phone? Or just linking to the new blog entry? I now have quite a long list of blog posts, and I'd like to clear it out of the ones that didn't...

I downloaded the Google Maps app (only because everytime I tried to access Maps through the browser it failed and killed the browser!). Now I also have three other apps: Latitude, Places, and Navigation. I have no intention of ever sharing my location through my phone. I reluctantly have some...

I'm not having any problems with my phone; I'm just a bit of a contrl freak about what's running on it. Using up battery and memory, doing unknown stuff in the background, popping up unexpectedly in the middle of another app - those are my concerns. So I was checking the running services and...

I know when you watch a video on a web site on your PC, there is usually a file of the video saved in a browser cache or temp folder somewhere. Does it work the same on my Fascinate? There's a web site with embedded videos (not YouTube or Vimeo; when I right-click from my PC, it doesn't give...

Basic ig'nant noob questions - can I put buttons on my home screen for: -- favorite contacts -- favorite web pages -- lock the screen (yes, I know to hit the power button, but my fat-finger handling either misses that or also moves the volume rocker when I grasp the phone!) Ed

I'm new to the Android world, so forgive me if I'm overlooking a basic function. I wanted to send a simple text message. Created a new message and tapped Contacts under the TO: field. Who are all these people??!? It's supposed to just be a list of all my phone contacts, like it's been on...

Is there any way to reorder, hide, rearrange, move, or otherwise organize all those app icons? I've got three screens full: most I will never use (that I can see now), some I use occasionally, and the three or four I want most are one different screens surrounded by useless stuff. It would be...

I copied my music and playlist files (Windows Media Player) onto my SD card. The music player recognizes them and plays the songs. But I have two issues. -- The users guide says I can just tap a playlist and it will play. No it won't! -- My playlists are all listed backwards! Any help...

I'm having trouble connecting my Fascinate to my laptop for the first time. I've spent about three hours scouring the 'net and the forums here to no avail. Here's my particulars: -- New-to-me Fascinate (actually a used certified phone) -- I have not searched for updates to the phone. (I did...

The "always syncing" is my least favorite feature of the Android system. It's what made me give back my previous Android (LG Vortex). But there's some apps that I needed and they would only work on a 'droid, so I got my Fascinate. Is there any way to choose what apps are allowed to...

My first post from my brand new Fascinate! So if my spelling is off, I can blame fat fingers on the keyboard. Is the there an easy way to switch between open apps? I'm listening to Pandora while playing a game, and I've got the browser open to read insructions. Pandora showed on the top bar...

I was using my son's Fascinate (haven't gotten mine yet - 'nuther week or two) and logged into a web forum I frequent on my PC. I tried to initiate a new thread, but the phone wouldn't recognize the rich text field where you type in the body of the post. The Title field was a simple text box...

I attend meetings where I do not want to be interrupted by a phone call or text message, but would like to retain a data connection for web access. Is it possible to disable the phone and SMS, but retain the web data connection? Ed

Just got my LG Vortex and have the following questions: -- I put a Contact shortcut onto the Home screen so I can have a speed dial. But I get a single line of less than a dozen characters. Can this be changed? Can I rename it, at least? -- I deleted a lot of out-of-the-box shortcuts from...
