    Android 6 radio alarm won't activate

    I can't get the radio alarm clock to activate in the morning. It turns on the screen but I have to log on to the phone before it starts playing which rather defeats the purpose. I've tried several radio alarm clock programs. Set them to ignore battery optimizations, the lock screen to show all...

    Voice Reminders with Google Now

    Anyone know how to make Google Now provide voice reminders? Right now it just rings an alarm so you have to take the phone out and look at it to see what the alarm is about. It would be nice if it would announce the reminder as the Talking Calendar app does with calendar reminders. Does anyone...

    Need an app to make phone calls in Turkey

    I'll be spending a few weeks in Turkey and I'd like an app to make phone calls in the country. Don't want to change my simm card - there are issues with that in Turkey. I'll be making a few calls to land lines. Viber, Vopium, Truphone - are any of these any good for that or is there a better one?

    My HTC Desire has started showing the wrong time zone - Taipai, China - instead of the Atlantic Canada time zone when Date and Time is set to automatic. Date and time is then off too.

    Why all bad reviews of Google Books App?

    Google Books app was just released in Canada but when I go to the app store and read the reviews almost everyone is complaining about it. "Bloatware, can't uninstall, doesn't work" etc. Google doesn't usually release bad apps. Anyone had more experience with it? Richard

    Root Desire HD Smokes Desire with Leedroid 2.4.1

    I've always been pretty pleased with the speed of my Desire but I recently bought a Desire HD for my wife and was amazed at how much faster it was than my Desire running Leedroid 2.4.1. Since it's the same processor, from what I read I guess it's the HD's larger cache and better GPU that makes...

    Root Nand backup to computer takes a loong time

    I did a Nand backup via Clockworkmod recovery prior to my intention to install Leedroid 2.4. Thought I would also copy it to my computer to have an extra copy. First time I tried it the phone rebooted. Second time after running for awhile it still tells me there's over 180 minutes left. Seems...

    Accessories Any Problems Overheating with Otterbox?

    Recently got an Otterbox Commuter case for my HTC Desire. Before I have noticed that when using it while charging it would get pretty warm on the back. Wonder if anyone's had a problem with overheating when using it while charging with the Otterbox case on. Richard
