U guys know when u got multiple launchers right, when u press the home button there will be a list of launchers. There is a function where u can tick which is "set this to default". Well, I accidentally ticked that and I can't switch launchers anymore. How to solve this?

new user here migrated from Blackberry. (1) want to find out on my email setting (hotmail). I did it through Social Hub (Galaxy W). Not sure how email works in Android. I do not get notification on new email in Hotmail until I go in to refresh. Is that the case? I know cannot compare to BB as its a push mail but I thought Android is a pull where after certain period of time, it will pull the email over automatically? (2) Which FB apps to use? I can do it via Social Hub or download from Market. I did try both initially. I can say both are not the same and which one is better off? Really having a hard time getting use to the keypad

Hi guys,
Got a question here regarding the version of Android. I'm interested to get a Garmin Asus phone due to its powerful GPS function. Currently I'm using WM6.5 phone with GMXT, so Garmin interface is preferable for me.
But the problem is that currently Garmin Asus phone is running on Android 2.1 and there's no update available as both the companies already terminated their partnership. So I would like to know is it OK to live with 2.1? Are all the current apps now require 2.2 or 2.3 already? Basically I'm using the phone just for the phone, organiser, GPS, and occasionally for browsing. Not going into heavy gaming or modding etc.
Thanks

Hi guys,
Few days ago I installed some apps from Market (forgot which apps) and my phone don't scan my SD card after restarting it.
Somehow I manage to find what's the problem going on and I found the cause. It's because of the .nomedia file. I don't know and even no idea how it was in my SD card in the first place.
So the question is how to prevent the .nomedia file from re-appearing after restarting my phone???

You can try xda developer and see if anyone ports a rom in the future. As of now, not even flagship phones like the sgs2 got their ics update.

I have a problem.
Phone: LG Optimus One P500 OS: Android Gingerbread 2.3 V20G
It seems that I cant open up Gallery. After taking pictures, un-able to view the pictures in the gallery.
All these while, it works well. Just started having this problem since this morning.
I've tried using Advance Task Killer to kill Gallery and then try to rerun Gallery. After opening it, the screen waits in darkness and then nothing. I need to press Back twice to get to app drawer. It seems that phone is not hanging but rather the App is.
What should I do now? Can I un-install and re-install it?
