    SmartSwitch quit allowing Outlook sync

    Personally I use MyPhoneExplorer. Used it with Outlook for many years sync'ing contacts and calendar. Now switched to Thunderbird from Outlook but still use MyPhoneExplorer.

    Setting primary contact phone number.

    So, this is what I want to do, and I know how to use Android to do this but what I want to do is a little different. My main contacts 'database' is with Microsoft Outlook on my PC (running Windows 10). This I can sync locally to my Android phone with no problems. The problem is that I'd like to...

    Maildroid won't display emoji.

    Got a little problem and it would seem to be a Maildroid issue, which is the app I use for email on my Galaxy S7 (running an Oreo stock based ROM - Galaxy Project). Now this could be a feature/bug with the app OR it could just be a settings issue and as I have found next to nothing online that...

    Help Data2sd advice?

    Wewll, I jumped ship to a Galaxy S4 and have now broken the screen for the 2nd time do have had to revert to my trusty old DHD. However, I want to use additional memory (i.e. use an SD Card partition as additional memeory) and at one time I had Data2sd installed and used that. That was a while...

    Alarm app - 'snooze' sets 'screen off'?

    Right, alarms. I've tried a couple but I'm after one minor feature that is irritating me by its absence. Basically i want an alarm that when I hit 'snooze' the display goes back to being off. After all, if I hit snooze I'm obviously not (usually) interested in having the screen on anymore...

    Root [International] Newbie (to S4) questions ...

    Right. I've had, and still have, Desire HD which has been a good old device for the last 4 years, still works fine apart from the GPS. But as it's getting a bit geriatric now and I have a little spare cash (and, more importantly, permission to spend it from SWMBO .. :D ) I've gone for an S4...

    Contacts app - not displaying phone and fax

    This seems a wierd one. I have a contact whose business phone and business fax number are the same. No problems there as many small businesses have fax machines like this. However, I thought I could see a bug with my contacts/dialer app (RocketDial) where it was labelling the fax as 'other'. Now...

    Book keeping/stock taking app?

    Right. Thought I'd ask the collective wisdom here as I'm not having much luck with 'searchs', mainly as I'm not too sure exactly what I'm searching for not really having a brain that's too comfortable with accountancy terms! Basically I have a friend who's an antiques dealer who I'm trying to...

    IMAP email account - initial download

    Right. I've been using a pop3 setup on my phone (and on my PC come to that) as that's been quite adequate for my needs. I've now been looking at getting an imap setup running and having a couple of issues. The account setup isn't the problem, that all works fine. It's just that the way I use my...

    Root Titanium Backup - removing backed up files?

    Been using TB Pro for a while and it now has a backup of lots of apps. The issue is that I don't want/need some of those apps any more, for whatever reason. Can I just delete the files from the TB folder on my sdcard? Or is there some more magic I have to do within the TB app itself? Ta. Dave

    Calengoo free on Amazon

    Today anyway - 27th October - and I'm in the UK and don't know if Amazon 'regionalise' their free apps. Worth a look though. Dave

    Transferring app to new phone AND different account

    OK. This may turn out to be an academic question but here goes. My wife had an app on her phone which I transferred to mine via Titanium Backup (just copied the backup files over - that part worked fine and it's now installed as on hers). The app needs an update applying, which won't work on her...

    Battery dimensions?

    Hmmm. Thought I'd posted this yesterday but it seems to have disappeared into the wild, blue yonder ... Thought it was Xmas day I'd had a little too much alcofrol ..... :confused: Anyhow, if anyone has a Sensation battery to hand can they measure it for me? Reason is, I have a Desire HD and the...

    Phone based converter for 3gp videos?

    Right. First time post in this section so here goes .... Finally brought my TV into the modern age about a week ago. Got a Panansonic Viera GT30, 42" up from 20" :eek: Great TV but wish I'd gone for a larger screen now .... :( Anyhow, one of its features is DLNA and, as I have an HTC Desire HD...

    Analogue clock widget with date?

    Right. I'm after the above and can't seem to find what I want. I have a Desire HD running 2.3.3 (stock). I like the look of the first two clocks you see if you select the HTC Clock widget (about 13 choices) but the HTC clocks irritate the h3ll out of me as everytime you unlock the screen they...

    Help Sensation and Bluetooth keyboard?

    Anyone who has one, have you tried a BT keyboard out yet? I have a DHD which doesn't support one but was hoping the Sensation, with BT3, would. Any information appreciated. Dave

    Clock with screen off?

    I have a Desire HD that's just (yesterday) been upgraded to Gingerbread. What I'd like to do is to have the same setup as a friend has with his Nokia N8. That is, when the screen is locked/off (i.e. blank), I want to have a clock on it *. Sort of like this ...

    Checklist - but you add photos to items?

    Right. I'm after a notes app with checklists, but with the ability to add a picture to one or more of the items in that checklist. None of the ones I've looked at, albeit briefly, explicitly say they can do this. Though this doesn't mean they don't there comes a time when it gets rather tedious...

    Youlu contact app now with '*' and '#' keys.

    Just like to point people at Youlu again for those that thought in the past it would suit their needs EXCEPT for the fact that it didn't have a '*' or '#' key. Well now it has. I only downloaded it yesterday to check if it worked for me (it does) and the update appeared this morning. No link to...

    Accessories Mugen bringing out larger capacity battery.

    Thought I'd start a new thread with this as otherwise it'd get buried in the general 'how long does my battery last' threads. Over at xda ... Mugen Battery - xda-developers ... there's a thrad that mentions a new battery, soon, with an extra 200/300mAh. If nothing else it'd be worth getting it...

    Accessories Secure desktop cradle?

    Hi, I'm after a desktop cradle for the DHD but one which provides a stable platform to actually use it whilst sat on the cradle. That's something you can't really tell from images on accessory web sites. So has anyone got similar for another model that may be applicable to the DHD or, more...

    Help Which network gets used?

    OK. Have been used to Nokias in the past, both personally and for work, so the DHD is my first non-Nokia phone for ages. With the E71 I had, whenever I wanted to go on-line it asked me which access point I wanted to use. This meant that if I was out and about I'd use the 3G network but if I was...

    DHD manual online.

    Just seen this ... http://kaipee.co.uk/dhd/DHD_manual.pdf I assume it's genuine but haven't got a phone to check. Please flame me if it's not ..... :eek: Dave
