If you have installed a home app just press the home button on your behold 2 and then check "use by default for this action" and then select the home app you want to make your default, and if you ever want your regular home screen back just simply go to settings, application settings then go to manage applications then click on your current home app and then scroll down and press clear defaults and then touchwiz would be your default home screen again.

Well normally the answer is usually putting on a Custom ROM but since you did say you don't have a computer to do it from we can't exactly do that. You said you already did a hard boot? was that going into settings and choosing factory reset? or did you turn off the phone, then press and hold volume down, call and end call button until it said recovery mode? If you didn't do this I recommend trying it.
 
I just turned off phone, took out KIM and sd card. Ok, so I turn phone, then press volume, call and end call until it says factory mode? What will this do to my phone? Will it delete anything? Also how do I find the URL of a pic I have on picasa? I want to upload a pic for my profile. And I'm soooo sorry for all the questions... I do have a couple more though..m do u mind????

Yeah turn the phone off first then press and hold volume down, Call and then end until its says Recovery or Recovery Mode. It basically sets your phone back to what it originally was when it was new so it would delete maybe your messages, call logs because when you are recovering your phone, it would be as if you had just bought it new from tmobile, just the regular apps it was originally packed with. You would still might want back up your apps before doing this if you added any new apps to your phone lately and maybe your text messages to if they are important. Make all your contacts are saved to your Sim card so that you don't lose any numbers as well.

Yeah that would be a good idea for next time lol as far as finding a URL to a pic in picasa on your behold 2 just go to your image then click menu then go and that would be the url then click and hold the URL until a list pops up then scroll down to copy. Then paste it into whereever by clicking and holding an empty space until a list comes up again this time you would scroll down to paste and then boom you got it.
 
HEEEHEE! Unfortunately I've had this problem since I was a toddler(parents hated it), my meds usually helps.... But the last 2 months its not working(up for anywhere 24-48hrs), when I do sleep it's only for 1-4hrs right now... Only 4hrs the last 2 days:p If it doesn't get better in the next 48hrs I have to see a sleep specialist! U? It was gr8 when I was 13-20 cuz I was a club kid and didn't have much time to sleep between the raves and school and working and baby-sitting!:rolleyes: Now atleast I have a phone with web so I am entertained!
 
My phone hates me!!!!! I keep losing the little blue box next to the signal(I'm assuming its the net cuz it won't work) but have 3-4 bars! I have to turn it off then back on to get it back! Why in the h*ll is this happening now?!?!? Its happened 3 times tonite!!!

That was happening to me awhile back. Are you using WiFi? If you are try deleting your WiFi connection and then re-entering it again. That worked for me, haven't had that problem again. If that doesn't work or you are not using WiFi, a factory reset should do the job. But only do a factory reset if you have all your data backed up. You don't want to start all over again. Also, if you have 3g in your area try going to setting and disabling 3g and then enable it back.

Sure, I can probably catch up with you in midtown next week. I have a laptop, so I can get you the update to 1.6, which could solve a bunch of your problems.
 
I can't get androidforums to load correctly... Any help? Also I can't get a picture to load from Picasa to here. I copy and paste but it says invalid! Chadmd23 I'm gonna try to find gchat.

Sorry, I would have got to ya earlier but I was away from a computer and I don't have a data plan on my phone (too expensive for me.)

Anyways, if its giving you an invalid message you might not have copied the whole URL or have spaces in your URL. Try doing it again.

Does the little blue box say 3G by any chance? if so that is supposed to disappear when you are using wifi unless you are using a data plan. Also if you keep losing your wifi you need to change your wifi sleep policy to Never.

If you are using pandahome as your default homescreen just click menu then settings then wireless controls then go to wifi settings then press menu again then click on advanced then click wifi sleep policy and select "Never".

It didn't work it says "invalid file". Does that mean it's too big? How do I find out how big or pixels it is?
Click to expand...

actually for the avatar that shows up on the page it can't be over 80x80 pixels, its real small... I'm not exactly sure on how to tell for picasa but usually when you search for an image they will have it below or above the picture.
 
I'm not trying to do an avatar, just a profile picture. I tried another picture and it gave me "invalid file" also. I can't seem to find anything about how big/pixels above or below.

If its just a profile picture then its 100 by 100 pixels as the max.

but from looking on my computer the info seems to be on the right side of the picture

It doesn't show it on the behold 2 using the regular browser

You need to find a browser app that searches in full html because apparently picasa's page on the behold 2 is not displaying full html. it only displays the mobile page.
