My app updates are pissing me off.  About half the time I update an app it fails and fucks up my phone.  I have discovered that if I un-mount the SD card and then update the app it works but it is an unholy pain in the ass to do this every time.  I've been waiting for gingerbread hoping it would fix this.   :dubious:

Had this happen to me a while back.  Fixed it by renaming (or deleting) the android_secure folder on the root of your SD card. After that, all my updates worked without problems.

come to my house and do this on my phone. tia.

seriously, walk me through exactly what to do here

Are you rooted?

no

I am really hating my HTC HD2.  Windows OS is rough ridin' horrible.  Everything is slow and crashes often. 

Looking at selling it and buying a Blackberry.  Loved my Curve 8320. 

Someone with more recent BB use than I, what is a good BB nowadays?

Looking at BB because I like the keyboard.  Not digging my touch screen keypad lately.

An HD2 can run like any Mobile OS on the planet.

Where would a guy go to learn how to do this so that once I start the process, I can finish it in a reasonable amt of time(work phone)?

TIA

Well, learning the process is the hard part. It will take a few hours of reading to feel confident enough you aren't going to brick your phone. Once you feel confident, It doesn't take that long to get your phone how you want it.

Do you need root access to rename a folder? A terminal emulator doesn't require root, you can just rename it from there.

My TopGuest app fucks up everytime I try to run it.  I am absolutely furious at this.  Anyone know of any solution to this that doesn't involve me reconfiguring my whole rough ridin' phone operating system with one mistake destroying all my contacts/important info?

this is super cool.

Lots of potential, but I could see a lot of problems. Will the higher quality only work when both people have VoLTE? Will battery life be as abysmal as Evo with 4G turned on? How will it handle LTE/CDMA transitions during a call?

for this phone, battery life will be an issue.  but you know how it works, they'll design better arm processors that will require less voltage to do more processing, along with more advanced batteries.

voip is most definitely the next evolution of wireless networks though.
