*Official* Android OS Phone Chat, Questions, & Help Thread -

14,178 1,195 October 22, 2009 at 06:05 PM in Chat
Yahoo!

Our very own thread to discuss and chat about the OS, ROM's, apps from Android Market, our Android phones, tips & tricks, questions, and help issues. With the different phones out now and to be released from various carriers, I figure we all have a lot in common with the Android OS. We can discuss what we like, need help with, what apps are cool or don't work well, as well as questions and help issues. Given that CSR's from the various carriers may know less than we do, this thread is for all of us so we can help one another.

Test SMS sent!

So they are fixing it? That is great news because I prefer the native app much better too.

My phone must be in the Twilight Zone. Replied back. It will be better when HTC releases the fixed native client.

what's a good program to notify you for updates on the market for apps you already have?
aTrackDog will do it, too. Plus it looks for ones that aren't in the market, if you have any (tether, etc)

I had a case similar to those for my e71. It was a good case for the price but unfortunately not what I'm looking for with the hero.
