I added a shortcut-person-quick contact. It comes up with Sprint nav as default directions. The hero I had allowed me to use Google nav/maps rightful the quick contact. Please help me get rid of Sprint nav
I tried connecting my EVO to my vehicle's AUX line in to play pandora. This sort of worked but in addition to Pandora, other music started playing automatically and I have no idea why. We were literally listening to Pandora and noticing some odd noises in the background...took us a second to figure out it was another program playing music on the EVO. I was able to kill the extra music but it seemed to start again every time I pressed the home button. I was able to switch to the "rogue" music player through the notification bar but it was a very basic player with no configuration options or details. I have no idea what it is or how to control it! Can anyone help me here? It's probably something basic that I am missing...
I have a rental car this week - a 2010 Ford Escape with Sync. It plays my audio files through a bluetooth connection... That happened while I was trying to get the ipod to play. Just in case your car has a similar stereo system.
When I'm in contacts, it gives me the option to send a text message to all phone numbers, including home and work. Since only mobile phones can accept text messages (that I'm aware of), I only want the option to text to show up next to mobile numbers. It's kind of a pain to send a quick text to my mother, for example, when she has four phone numbers and only one of them, her mobile phone, can accept texts.
Is there any way to edit this?

OK...I have added a bunch of bookmarks to one of my pages as shortcuts, but they all look alike. Some of them have a miniature icon like ESPN. Any way to make the icon appear instead of the stock bookmark icon?
That didn't do anything. Still see the stock bookmark icon with the itty bitty ESPN icon hanging on the lower left side of the bookmark icon. Any other ideas?
does anyone know how to assign calendar items to categories?
What kind of categories? not sure what you want here.
in outlook i can assign categories to each contact, calendar item etc... for example i could have a calendar item named lunch and assign it to the "work" category in outlook. how can i assign categories to calendar items i create on the evo?
I played around with this some and don't see a way to do this with the stock calendar app. I do know there are other calendar apps out there that might have this function though. Sorry.
thanks slayer... you're the man!
if only android would take some lessons from palm, we'd have a seriously amazing operating system.
How do I set up a group for mass texting on my Droid?
thanks
PREVIOUS question: "Q. Is there any way to make it so that you can push one of the buttons on the outside of the phone to stop your phone from ringing?"
On the MOMENT, "turning it over does not work". However, pressing the Volume button stops the ringing and allows the call to still come in. In fact, it works on many different phones.
How do i load custom icons to my phone from my computer? is there a certain folder i need to put them in. i know they have to be in png format. will the phone automatically resize them? if not what program can i use. photoshop?
As far as editing them you could use GIMP or PS. GIMP is a lot like photoshop and its free.
As far as using them on the phone you will need an app called anycut. It will allow you to make custom shortcuts to most apps and settings on the phone and should allow you to use custom icons. If that one doesn't work there are several others on the market that you can check out that might have more options.
EDIT: You should be able to place them in a directory on your SD card, just don't put them in the Camera folder (folder called dcim)
