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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

The default voicemail is killing me. Is there really no app out there that can replace it? It seems Google Voice is a definitely no go, and I was trying that other one that requires call forwarding... VM or Motorola need to just sell me a $2 app that gives me visual voicemail. I am beyond tired...

Is this thing only good for taking pictures of yourself with no flash, or is there some service out there that will allow video chat? Skype is supporting 2.2 (froyo), but this phone isn't officially supported, and it says it will only work with the back facing camera. Perfect if I want someone...

Somehow the notification sound keeps changing to music. Originally it was some lame internal ring tone, I kept changing it to a Portal Soundboard notification that I installed, and now it's kind of working. But then I notice some music playing in my pocket, and it's randomly selected some music...

I'm wondering what steps I need to take in order to prepare my phone for resale. I have rooted the phone, so I'm not sure if a factory reset is a good idea or not. I've done some google searching but haven't found much info. It just needs to have all my apps, prefs and contact info cleared and...

When I open up Navigation and select contacts it says I have no contacts with addresses. When I pull up my contacts, the addresses are there. I recently migrated from a LG Optimus M using Titanium Backup, but I think the contacts synced through Gmail... Is there any way to "refresh" contacts...

I started getting a "Damaged SD card" error, which I suspect had something to do with trying to move apps to the SD card - the navigation crashed, and afterward my SD card was reported damaged and I had to reformat it and reinstall all my apps - including the text-to-speech app for navigation...

I found one other thread on here about this, the user didn't appear to solve the issue, un-rooting was recommended. If I google it there seem to be people will all sorts of android phones getting this error. I've tried clearing the download cache which is the number one suggestion, no luck. I...

I've tried YouMail, and when it works it's pretty nice, but you have to pay an extra $5 per month for forwarding and it seems hit or miss. Some calls actually go to it and get a different message and I get visual voicemail, some calls go to the regular Metro PCS voicemail and I have to dial my...

Anyone else experience this? All of a sudden, pushing a button will not pull up the lock screen. The buttons glow blue, but the screen is blank. Even if a call is received, screen stays blank. Is there some combination of buttons that will reboot? I'm not sure it's a good idea to remove the...

I was trying to set a ringtone for the alarm clock when a popup asked if I wanted the phone or Handcent SMS to be the default choice, for some reason all the actual music loaded on my phone is under the "handcent sms" choice and the only thing under the phones options are the built in ring...
