I know you can have a weather widget on the lockscreen if you don't have any security, i.e., just swipe to unlock. But then it's not really a lockscreen, is it? Anyone figure out a way around this?

Using the Android Device Manager from a computer, I can ring my Droid X and can also lock it with a new password, but cannot locate it. I just get "Location unavailable". ADM works fine with my Galaxy Tab. Anybody have their Droid X working fine with ADM?

I have several Gmail accounts, all synced to my Android phone (Droid X). One of these email accounts (let's call it "Gmail Account X") receives messages I need to deal with immediately. I often put my phone on silent mode (at night), but would like an audible alert when email to Gmail Account...

The Tab froze up on me. When I held down Power + Vol Up, it shut off, but didn't reboot. Subsequent attempts to reboot by holding down Power + Vol Up yielded no results. How can I reboot the tab? Also, when I plug it in, I can hear the charger (which is normal), so it would seem the battery...

What can I do to play avi files created by my Canon PowerShot SD450 on my Galaxy Tab 10.1? It won't play using the stock player, MX Player or MoboPlayer.

GT-7510UW (white tab) I checked the debugging option under Applications>Development, then powered off. Pressed and held Power and Volume Down buttons. I get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen, but instead of the two android icons immediately afterward, the screen goes black, then the Tab 10.1...

Looking to restore my rooted tab to stock ICS. Will flashing stock ICS via Odin unroot the tablet?

Is the US ICS firmware for the P7510 floating around somewhere? Or do we have to wait for the OTA update? Have checked a couple of times per day the last few days, and no update yet. Getting a little tired of waiting...

I've heard that some of the early batches had issues. Is there a model designation beyond TF101 that would identify these potentially bad batches, or is there a serial # range associated with them?

Picking up a used Droid X for use on Verizon's network. Need recommendations for good stable everyday-use roms. What's the latest version of Android that has such roms? Gingerbread? Honeycomb? I'm coming from a CyanogenMod rom on my Sprint Hero, so all else being equal, I'd probably use a CM...

The Hero has served me well. It was my first Android phone, and absolutely blew away my prior Blackberry. And with CM7.1, it still runs fairly quickly. But with my 2yr contract up in a few months, I will probably make the leap to a new phone. Which Android phone are Sprint Hero users getting...

I'm trying to free up some internal memory. Which apps that come with CM7.1 are safe to delete? I know ADW Launcher.apk and the related odex file can be safely removed. Any others?

Recently switched from CM 6.2 to CM 7.0.3. 1. I seem to have lost the flashing notification light on emails. I can still change whether I want a ringtone for each email account, but I can't seem to enable the notification flashing LED. 2. With CM6.2 I was able to display the signal strength...

I need to try a new radio to get better reception in Raleigh, NC. Thinking about Evo radio 2.15.00.08.08 found in this XDA thread. Is this safe or do I risk bricking the phone? I'm running CM6.2.

Running CM6.2. Having problems with most widgets that I run, including Buzzbox, Twitter, and Dictionary.com. When I first install an app and set up the widget, all is good. But sometime later (which is typically after a reboot), I'll get the 'Problem loading widget' error msg in place of the...

Since I switched to CM 6.2, every time I get a new voicemail, I also receive an sms message: "Android: xxx-xxx-xxxx has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000." How do I eliminate these sms alerts? I already have voicemail notifications show up in the notifications bar, so these sms...

Seems like the only options are to lower the ringer to the lowest setting or to set the phone to vibrate. Surely I'm missing something?

I upgraded from Amon RA 1.5.2 to 1.6.2. Prior to this upgrade, I had two files in sd card root: recovery.img unrevoked Of course, in the process of upgrading, I copied recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img there as well. Do I need to leave all three files in sd card root? Or does the process of...

Can you use TB to backup SMS, MMS, call logs and bookmarks only? I don't want to backup any apps or settings. Just the aforementioned data.

Occasionally, when I reply to a text message, I get an error that states: Invalid Recipient(s). If I back out of the message to the text msg inbox and go back in, I can reply without a problem. This is using the stock text messaging app. Anyone else experience this?

I'd like to be able to locate and edit or backup the file that stores the tickers I inputted into the app. I'll lose the data from the phone when I flash another ROM, and I'd hate to reenter all 30 tickers on the phone. I'm sure someone will suggest Google Finance as an alternative, but Google...

Most of us probably use wireless tether when away from home, in a public place. Since wireless tether on the Hero doesn't support WEP, how do you prevent others from connecting to your hotspot? I was running wireless tether and somebody jumped onto the network and I didn't know how to boot...

Is there a way to get owner info on the lockscreen? For example, I'd like it to read "If found, please return this phone to MyName. Phone: xxx-xxx-xxxx, Email: MyName@gmail.com". Can this be done with the stock HTC lockscreen? Are there others that are as secure, but provide this extra...

Tried running wireless tether 1.6 that comes with Fresh 2.3.3. No luck. Uninstalled Wireless Tether and reinstalled it from the developer's site. My laptop connects to the phone's wifi network, but cannot access the internet. I've tried turning the phone's mobile network off/on while tether...

I just rooted. Because I was running Sprint 2.1(.6), I first had to downgrade to 2.1(.5), then root, so my phone is back to factory state. Should I restore backed up apps, app data, and redo various phone settings (gmail setup, etc.) now, or should I just flash a custom ROM first, since the...
