Upgrade?

That used to happen a lot to me, so that I would have to end the app and restart just to find where I was. I upgraded (Google Services 1.3, which still says the app is 1.5.2) and I've had less...

Possibility

I have a Yahoo small business account, which has its own domain name. That means I have two email addresses for my Yahoo account. These are not merged (nor do I want them to be), but I can't get...

Displaying Battery Status in Percent on Home Screen

Try cleaning it. I had to remove the silver ring first, which makes the trackball assembly come out, and blow it out with compressed air. Pretty easy. See

Latex case

Try a latex case -- it cures the slippery problem entirely. In fact, I can't easily slip it in my shirt pocket but it doesn't fall out.

I had the malfunctioning trackball, wouldn't go up. Blowing compressed air didn't help. I then popped off the silver rink using the procedure outlined in the link, and this lets the trackball unit...

Views: 949

Not True

A USB charger SHOULD be a USB charger, but they are not. The BB 8800 detects some characteristic of USB charging and shuts off charging if it doesn't like the current. This is true for PCs that...

Excellent!

That is now a complete solution -- a full screen playing of the video files. I am so far having 100% conversion success. They look good, too!

Not a quibble

I would also like full screen, but isn't that a problem with player, not the video? The video on mine fills all the space on the player and is sized at the screen size, so if the player supported...
