I couldn't get notification settings the way i wanted. Liked the pop up but reg messaging would notify as well. Turned off notifications in reg message and handsent would notify with pop up, sound and icon or any combination. Next day regular messaging was notifying again and handsent was selective of what it would use to notify.I use regular messaging but most of the time i'm using safe reader and vlingo so it doesn't matter what app it's on. Still trying to find something better than vlingo. Why the hell doesn't google voice app work with the freaking headset (for speech to text). Vlingo speaking to me in my ear for navigation is downright awesome though!I forget what specific issue I had with it, but I uninstalled it after only a brief trial.Any one download Handcent SMS?

That sounds familiar... I can't for the life of me remember what my specific issue was. I was a fan of the UI for it and all, but something just annoyed the crap out of me. Maybe I will give it another shot in the future - I have a GB who swears by it.I couldn't get notification settings the way i wanted. Liked the pop up but reg messaging would notify as well.

I'm posting this tethered via PDAnet. Thanks fellas!I'm connected through the usb, if I wanted to go the bluetooth route, do I need to buy anything for my phone/computer?I've found PDANet to be extremely useful.I use PDA Net, there is a free one month trial but after that you have to pay something like $20 for the program or you can keep using the trial but you won't be able to access any https sites. I probably only use it once every month or so, but it was worth the $20 for the 1.5 years I've had it. Only problem is it is against your contract with Verizon, but unless you are downloading tons of crap I don't think they would ever know.
Pay for BeyondPod? I got it for free. I love the features, etc. It just crashes on me. Drives me nuts.Haha, I'm in the same boat. Listen does the job, I guess. Don't expect to find a podcast through Listen. Use Google Reader to set up your podcasts, and then use Listen to well, listen to your podcast. Even with that, I have issues with it. I'll be 15 minutes into a podcast, and it jumps back to the beginning. Also, sometimes it gives me an error and won't play. I'd heard good things about BeyondPod, but didn't want to pay the money for it.I use Google Listen....so no, I can't recommend a good podcast managerAny good recs for a podcast manager? I currently use beyondpod, and I'm beginning to hate it. Evo here![]()

Steve Tasker said:You don't seriously think the "league will be better off" if an all-time legend of the game, possibly a top-5 player of all-time were to just quit and fade into obscurity....right?knuckleballs51 said:I never heard Mario complaining when he had Jay Caufield racking up 300 PIM while he was having his record setting season. Nor, did I hear Mario speak up when his lil girlfriend Cindy is slewfooting players around the league.Take your ball and go home Mario. The league will be better off without you, and your teams whining as you get every call under the sun.

hold down the "home" button and your most recent 8 apps will appear. Kind of like alt+tab on windowsis there any way to easily switch between active apps? I really just want to bounce between a browser, my email, and a notepad. But i have to go to the home page and then to the app every time to switch apps. There's gotta be a way to swipe and switch apps, or something simple like object dock

It was a good idea, but I cannot find the original app anywhere.

Ok, I'm not trying to be rough here, but you're really not understanding what is being said. You are going into your settings. DO NOT GO THERE.There is an application list. It's the list where all your applications are. It's the list with the icons of the applications that, when you touch it, actually opens the application. GO THERE.One of the applications is called "Messages". Open it. This is the default text program. Once you open up the application, THEN you go into settings and turn off the notifications. You are not trying to force stop or anything like that.Well that didn't work. Maybe I'll try to reboot the phone after forcing the stop.

With the Samsungs you will probably want to root them, they are super slow with the upgrades to the latest Android versions. For instance I think yours is still on 2.1. If you follow the instructions there is minimal risk.Just replaced my iphone with an android phone (Samsung Capitvate) and am stoked about it. Anybody here root their phones? If so, wondering if there are any major cons to doing it? My phone is unlocked and not issued by my carrier so I don't have to worry about any of those kinds of issues (if there are any).
Cool thanks. This should be fun.With the Samsungs you will probably want to root them, they are super slow with the upgrades to the latest Android versions.

Is this some kinda typing app?Words now is cross platform.

I'm sure you played words with friends on your iphone.The game is now multi-platform.............meaning, android users can now play with iphone users.Is this some kinda typing app?Words now is cross platform.
Never heard of it actually. I only played angry birds on my previous phone and that was to kill time while on the throne (TMI? maybe). Thanks for the link Jaysus. really excited about all the customizable things you can do with this phone. Its gonna be a fun few months.I'm sure you played words with friends on your iphone.The game is now multi-platform.............meaning, android users can now play with iphone users.Is this some kinda typing app?Words now is cross platform.
Found the same thing. It also would take a few starts to get my podcasts to stream properly.I installed Juice Defender and my phone seems really sluggish now.
OK. Not exactly sure what I did but after turning off and then back on it's now synching.JOk. Went to settings>manage applications> gmail and cleared cache and data.Now phone is "waiting to sync".J
Interesting. I'll give it a try. How exactly do you set it up on the mattress? I charge my phone over night and have never thought about leaving it in bed with me. What did you do there?JI've been using "Sleep as an Droid" for two nights now. Absolutely amazed at this app.
You use it as an alarm clock. But instead of my usual routine--set the alarm for 8 AM, hit the snooze a few times, get up around 8:30--this you set up the opposite way. You tell it the absolute latest time you want to wake up, and the size of the window you are OK with waking up beforehand. So I set it to 8:30 AM, with a 30-minute window prior (covering 8 to 8:30).
You turn the app on when you get into bed, then put your phone on the mattress, right next to you. The app tracks the accelerometers & tilt sensors, keeping track of when you're rolling over in bed, and when you're lying still. It uses this to determine your sleep cycle during the night--when you're moving around you're in "light sleep", when you're still, you're in the deeper, REM sleep.
Once the alarm window opens (8AM), the app waits for you to cycle out of REM sleep and wakes you up sometime between 8 and 8:30 as you're transitioning into lighter sleep. This morning, for example, it decided 8:07 was the time for me to get up. As a result, I haven't been groggy at all in the mornings. It's like waking up at just the right time.
14 day trial, then I think it's $1.50 or so for the full app. There are places to get the full version for free, of course, in the darker corners of the internet.
ETA: it also has some other quirky features I haven't really tested yet, including one that says it will record your snoring and if you talk in your sleep so you can review it in the AM.
Outlet by the bed, plug in the charger and the cord and the phone are on the mattress. Probably easiest for those that sleep solo.Interesting. I'll give it a try.

Now that is a cool sounding app, and if it works as good as it sounds, will be the first app I actually will purchase (what can I say, nothing has yet to jump out and made me pull out my wallet yet.)I've been using "Sleep as an Droid" for two nights now. Absolutely amazed at this app.
