does anyone elses phone freeze occasionally when typing text messages? Mine seems to have short lapses where the phone doesn't detect me touching the screen. This only last for a few seconds then goes back to normal. Too many apps running perhaps?

Hey are youbstill experiencing thid problem? It happened to me and another member. I figure that it is most likely caused the the initial sync of the phone. My experience with messaging is bow flawless.

I see the argument discussed quite often as to whether or not you need to download ATK or not for 2.2

I downloaded it anyway, as it seems that it couldnt hurt anything.


Is anyone else using a task killer??

The Contact widget gives you the option to pick an existing category (work, friends, family, etc) or add a new one. The widget will display that category. Either remove the person in question from the category (which can be done by editing them in contacts), or create a new one without the person in it (which means editing everyone else).

No. Android and especially Sense doesn't need them.

yeah I am, happens sometimes during web browsing too, the screen just becomes unresponsive. Is it due to Advanced Task manager, or maybe apps syncing constantly?

I just bought the phone yesterday, I could easily go back and exchange it for another.

Read the links in post #55. :)
 
I was trying to get the weather app to update on its own and went into the settings to fix it. Only trouble is, "update automatically" and "Update schedule" are both grayed-out. How can I get it enabled? As it is now it only "updates" when the app is opened, which is never since it's always running on the front screen...

I know exactly what you are talking about. I found out that adding someone to that widget bar adds the contact to the "Favorites" group. You need to go into "People" choose the contact, then press the Menu button and Edit the contact. In the list is the "Group" menu. Un-check "Favorites"
 
My phone book shows both my sim numbers and what i've copied onto the phone which are duplicates. Is there any way of hiding the sim contacts after importing to the phone?
 
I read this in another thread, about how the ATT clerk made sure the customer had this magic... thing:

...She made sure that I got the new "4G" sim card....

What exactly is that? I think I have one too, which came on a card inside the box, but what do you do with it? That is, I already have a data SIM card in the phone... what's the other one for?
 
wait I think I figured it out, the way I was holding the phone, I was touching the edges. I noticed it doesn't let you touch the screen in 2 places at once, therefore it wasn't allowing me to press the keys. At least I hope that's it.

Thank you. I just installed the yahoo mail app. The app works great. I thought it would be nice to have both email accounts in the same mail program. I am now glad I installed the yahoo mail app.

To clarify for those who use Yahoo mail, the _only_ effective way is to use the Yahoo mail app.

Android is very specifically designed for Gmail, and other Google Apps & Services.

I've got five Gmail accts on my phone, after deciding to quit using Yahoo for my secondary mail. I only use Gmail now. It's very fast and much easier to center everything on Google. It's also faster & easier to switch between Gmail accts for processing ones email. Even on my laptop I've found Gmail to be much faster & reliable than Yahoo.

I'm not advocating for Gmail, just sharing the excellent experiences I've had with it.

I have 2 gmail accts sync'd to my phone. Is there a way to have a short cut for each? I'm having to manually switch in the Google app to see each unique mailbox

In the mail app select the drop down arrow and just change it to "all accounts" then you see everything at once without doing any switching.

When I unlock my phone, the clock widget seems to always update itself by flipping and it is always exactly 1 hour 2 minutes behind my time when it flips. Does anyone else do this, is that just the way it is or is there a setting I need to check.


Watched some Youtube vids and theirs did it also, have to watch closely when they unlock but their clock widget updates too and it was 1 hour 2 minutes then it flips as soon as they unlock, odd for it to do that but at least it's not just mine LOL!!

1hr and 2 minutes is what it does "for effect"

People ->At bottom select the "group" roledex card (the one with 2 cards) -> Favorites->press "menu" capacitve button ->Delete group member

Not bad for a guy who had never even TOUCHED a droid phone in his LIFE till saturday huh???

I find that menu button does A LOT..you can use it in almost ANYTHING for additional features...

I just went: People->menu->delete and selected every contact with a sim card icon next to it and deleted all the duplicates at once.

FWIW none of the favorites apps seemed to work from the contact list on the sim card until you went in and imported them all to the phone...(thats how i ended up with duplicates).
