Hi.
I just noticed that all my calendar events prior to april 12th and right back to june 2011 when I first got the phone have been deleted from my phone, but all other events onwards from april 12th are still on the phone. A sigh of relief when I noticed they're all still there online in google calendar, ie, all events from june 2011 to now. Not sure what happened, but, I did reinstall calendar sync today (before I'd noticed this) because it was partially deleted due to a virus I had a week ago. I say partially because it was still syncing but it took longer and I could tell something wasn't right. It had been effectively uninstalled in control panel, so that's why I reinstalled it.
So I connected my phone, manually synced google calendar sync app in my taskbar, and although it's updating new events from my phone to google calendar online, it's not transferring the old events from april 12th and before that date from google calendar online back to my phone.
I created a test event today directly in google calendar to see if it would transfer to my phone with sync, it did. So what's up with it not transferring my older events from google back to my phone before april 12th?
Bump
Bump. Let's see how many times I can bump this before someone replies or I get told off.
It's a known issue that Google is doing nothing to fix.
Here's a workaround though.
If that doesn't work, here's another one.
Both found with Google.
(Also, see rule #5. Bumping is seen as pretty annoying around here, and doesn't actually incite people to help you)

Thanks, I'll check out those links.
Well, yes and no on your last point. It had gone to page 3 first attempt, then was going to page 2 second attempt, so I didn't have much to lose really did I, and 3rd time worked like a charm.

5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.

That seems to me to be yes and yes. A bump is another post.

I'm NOT a moderator. I'm just trying to give you some friendly guidance on forum etiquette. It's not like I reported your post or anything. And in fact, I actually helped you, in spite of my being annoyed by the bumps as I'm sure many others who knew the answer were, and decided not to answer.
If everyone followed the rules, we wouldn't need moderators.

I thanked you for your advice and I'll thank you again. But I don't give a flying **** if you don't like my bumps. If I hadn't bumped my thread (after several hours of it receiving no replies and disappearing into the void), there would have been NO replies, making being a posting member here pretty much useless. Get it? These forums are massive with ludicrous amounts of posts every second pushing others off the page very fast, never to be seen again, so bumps are NEEDED to get noticed. Get off your high horse.
Ah forget it. I'm clearly wasting my time.

Clearly. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that in quite a few of your posts you talk down to members, pretty much patronising them.
"in spite of my being annoyed by the bumps as I'm sure many others who knew the answer were"
Lol, seriously, and my last word on this, drop the wannabe moderator act. You're obviously very knowledgeable on phones and have made many posts. And I'm grateful you linked me to a couple of potentially helpful threads which (contrary to what you think) would not have happened if I hadn't bumped my thread. But, I've been here longer than you and long enough to have seen many threads of mine disappear without any response when there's been no bumping. Noone was going to answer my thread without it being bumped, trust me on that, it had already gone to page 3, so my bumping was not the catalyst for why you think I got no answers. Editing my post would have made no difference, it wouldn't bring it back to page 1, and neither was there any need for me to clarify an already crystal clear description of the issue in my OP. I also help people where I can on other forums where I'm knowledgeable in a field just like you, and I leave the lectures on forum etiquette to those in charge.

Probably because I'm sick of people who don't take the 5 seconds it takes to type their problem into google, and incessantly bump their posts to keep it at the top of the forum. But you're right. I should take a step back and not let such things bother me anymore.

While I see how those options would do it, I chose to just purchase Calengoo... I works great and I'm lazy so I don't want to have to do the export/import thing or flip back and forth changing the date. (I did notice that if it's a recurring appointment on the calendar those show beyond the 30 day limit.)
hopefully this is something Google will change at some point. I just don't understand their reasoning for not offering us the choice on how much calendar data to sync.
Just thought I'd add another solution to this problem.
Found it here:
https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/calendar/BG6UUCLcQZ4/J7Zc-l4X_9gJ
Steps:
Go to Google Calendar in your browser (DESKTOP)
Go to Settings (top right cog)
Calendars
Export calendars
Extract the .ics file from the saved zip file
Import calendar (select the .ics file)
That's it, it shouldn't create duplicates, but the calendar on your phone should now show the old events.
Simple but effective

Good job. Much thanks! This one did it!
Didn't work for me. Not sure why these work for some and not for others (like me)... could it really be because of ICS vs JB etc?
Anyway, I'm on a HTC Sensation, JB 4.2.2, and it would be very helpful if I could get important business schedule information from 6 months ago to 8 years ago from google online calendar into my phone, and I can't, and that's just retarded. So if anyone has suggestions on ways to do it, your input would be helpful. Thanks.
-Ryan.
update: well, it took a while but it actually worked... Yesterday, I exported, imported, synced, waited, synced again, and still nothing nothing. Then I posted to this thread. Then today, I read on the calengoo site that they recommend this 'trick' also, so I figured goddaammmit why didn't it work for me? So I looked at my calendar, and lo & behold... data back as far as i care to look! HOORAY!

I heard this about a month or two ago, because i complained at the XDA COMPLAINTS section about us not getting any moderation from mmelo, they told me that there was bad weather there, and he could not connect to internet from where he lived... That was a month ago, maybe he's having IRL issues? i don't know, but even though we don't have a OFFICIAL mod, others come around quite a lot, specially Binary.
Disregard the name for our section because more than 1 come in regularly.
Alright, I'll pm them even though their document says not to. No other choice.
Thanks.

MMelo76 is Brazilian and I have conversed with him both in Portuguese and English. Yes his English is not advanced but, his comprehension is excellent and is able to get his point across. He is very conscientious and through. The area he is in has been getting mudslides and alike so there has been alot of line disruption. hope this subsides for him........... and things get back to normal.
We are Lucky to also have MTM and ROLFD as mods as well both are seasoned and definitely do not put up with the useless diatribe that occasionally gets posted. BTW...... isn't Rolf a form of massage ? so Rolfd means you were massaged ????...........

Hi, Hi, sorry to disappear around this time.
It was not just a connection problem, my house has suffered from the rains about 3 months. I'm still renovating it and trying to have a good condition of housing.
'm prioritizing my family (wife and two children), employment and rebuild my house. I appeal to it, but unfortunately it takes a while.
Well I am accessing the forum just a few things with the change of employment, the forum is blocked by the server, so I'm short on time of access.
Things are almost resolved, after making my house, we get some infection, but we're better now.
I appreciate the emails and support of all, I intend to return as soon as possible to support my habit to the forum.
Because of the blockade, I'm not accessing a lot to them, report post, but I'm always trying to look at the forums that I am assigned. Over the weekend, I dedicate more time to my house if I actually change or buy another property, I will have more time for now, still a little troubled.
I still have many emails to check, both here and personal ....
Excuse me English, I used the google translation without revision
No problem mmelo!
Family and life come ahead of internet geeks anyday!
Glad things are turning alright for you mmelo, best of luck mate.
You guys are troopers. I can't imagine having to mod the Vibrant forums, it sounds like a nightmare. Mmelo76 doesn't need any more on his plate!
Thank all of you guys for modding, I know you guys do it for free.

God the mods have to handle Birger's posts! Thats a headache for sure! what a troll.

Okaaaaay.... let me rephrase that.
What would be the advantages of updating from 2.2 to 2.2.2?
Disadvantages? Bugs?
Let me rephrase it then, plenty of threads about 351 and other new roms for you to rummage through. Better get cracking. I find 351 to be a bit buggy but others love it. People here won't spoon feed you so use what has been posted and make a decision.

Im with you, buddy. I am totally ok with 2.2 and see no need for 2.2.2 if its primary update is the stage home screens. I have Launcher Pro Plus and dont care about the Dell Stage screen. I also heard that oo.voo constantly runs in the background. I dont need another back end process to constantly manually stop, so that it sill autostart again. Some have said sound quality issue. There suppose to be enhanced email functions but I bought Enhanced Email from the developers site directly and it works fine. I am not sure what Gallery updates are but im ok with the current.
Hey William, if you come across other items, pro or con , let me know too. Thanks, bud.
Remember some time ago Google removed some 50 apps from the market because they had a malware payload? The main difference between 2.2 and 2.2.2 is that Google has closed the exploit which allowed that malware to work.
To me, that is a compelling enough reason to upgrade. However, if you don't, every so often Google may force feed you a malware removal tool. But, as said earlier, it's your choice as to whether you want to upgrade or not.

A bit of a smartazz aren't you?
What good is a forum where you can't ask questions without feeling stupid?
I don't do that on my www.CorvetteC3.com forum that I founded and run, that has been around longer than this one at 10 years. We start off new member telling them that there is no such thing as a stupid question and if it has been asked before, so what... ask away, the members here are friendly.
I've been here over a month now and getting tired of seeing this kind of attitude telling people to use search instead of answering the question or leaving a link. If that is the case, we really don't need a forum do we?
I've found on my forum after awhile, new members learn on their own to use search,
I wasn't talking about you, Rico or Strephon and thanks very much for your replies.
Hey no prob, William. I agree with you. I dont pay those sort of responses the time of day. You are correct, some reply as if its their personal site. Strep made a good point for updating when it comes to the Google malware update. Thanks for this sting.
About the only time I will actually tell someone to go search is when they ask the same question on multiple threads in the same forum, just because the threads happen to be related. To me, such behavior is childish.
So, I have done it myself. I'm not proud of it, but at the same time cannot change my frame of mind. I simply don't have patience for stupidity, and spamming the message boards simply because people aren't helping out as fast as the poster might want is stupid.
William, for the most part the people on this forum are decent. You and I seem to have managed to find that one person that rubs us the wrong way. In your case, it's someone being a smartass. In mine, it's someone providing a solution that actually ISN'T a solution. It almost makes me wish there was an ignore list feature on the site.
EDIT: Found the ignore list feature on the site. *LOL*

I think it's rather odd that you have your own forum where you say people eventually learn to search yet here you didn't bother doing so. Did everything you learn on every other forum before, escape you right before coming here?
I bricked my phone last week yet I didn't make a thread asking what to do. I searched and searched til I exhausted all the solutions. I had dozens of threads to go through, you have a few at most. mine was a much more urgent matter than yours, but I knew it was covered over and over.
Maybe its cause I used to get flamed for not searching when I was younger but now when people do that I just see laziness and a "I'm too good to search" attitude.
Not saying thats whats happening, though I dont know you so I cant say.
Either way, apologies for offending you.

Since 2.2.2 is a platform specific update and not device specific update, you didn't have to limit your search to just the streak section.
Thanks for the links. I did see some of those. In my post I was more after personal opinions of those who have went from 2.2 to 2.2.2. Wanted to see their thoughts on it.
As for the members on my Corvette forum, most of them are between 40-60 and many don't know how to search or are too lazy to, (retires you know).
I'm 58 and a bit lazy sometimes myself.

Actually, both are beneficial, a couple threads/posts were very helpful and searching here and googling found more answers. Combine them all, you get a lot of different views. I like as much info I can get.
The update isn't a true 2.2.2 update. I received/did it a couple of days ago. it's still 2.2, I was told that there must be some a typo or some such on the web page, but my phone still shows 2.2. FWIW the battery seems to last a bit longer, but the 3G reception doesn't seem quite as strong. YMMV

Did you get notified of this via your streak?
I am coming from a DX where TBH modded the NV files to use the stock hotspot application.
I was wondering if there has been any devs taking a look into this...
And by the way I DO NOT want to start a ethics war on tethering or not tethering...
Thank you
There's been threads with lots of useful information (and posts) within the last couple of weeks. You'll probably get more informative answers looking at those then asking people to repeat what they already said.

I have skimmed thru quite a few recent posts regarding tethering and I find none of them useful in answering my question. I see that many of the posts go on to get a smartass remark or two from someone who has not a clue about how to answer the question.
Kinda like what happened in this post.
So I would like a linky or a better answer.
Ohhhh, if you want a smartass answer, I could do far better....
That was only my polite, "look around the knowledge base because it's useful" answer that noobs seem to find insulting anyways.
If I really wanted to be insulting, I would tell you to RTFM . I help plenty of people with legitimate questions, feel free to look at my post history and see for yourself.
But really, I do agree the ways people say it tend to be rather blunt.
However, the overreactions to even sensible replies to search around are also just also just as bad, since there doesn't need to be a new posting always and some people just don't think before they make one and reminding them to do a little search I think helps (if done in a not so overly rude way). My initial post was not a slight against you but a word of advice that people will do what you just said, insult you and give you non-helpful replies.
IDK what kind of solution you are looking for, but there isn't a magical "Verizon will give you free unlimited tethering legitimately without extra cost option if you ask them really nicely" or a "I'll come right over to your house code and compile the most amazing tether app in the world that actually boosts your LTE speed beyond what Verizon gives you and does your homework when it's idle."
Instead of taking the defensive because someone asked if you looked around a little, perhaps clarifying your question in a way that shows that you actually searched (i.e. "I noticed there was this method to tether or that, but I don't really like those options") makes it clear to everyone you gave it an honest shot and also motivates people to want to help you more
It also keeps things on topic so you get the answer you want faster. Just for future reference.
I searched the TB forums and didn't really see anything on the subject. I only found
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082585
Maybe there's more in the general Android forums, though I didn't find much there either. I could just suck at searching.

and many more (I stopped on page 6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=74208283&pp=25&page=6)
I recommend using advanced search and "search by post" not by title. You'll get more relevant info that way. If you happen to be an opera mobile or desktop user, you can make a custom search from http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?f=940, by hold pressing on the search bar for that page for mobile or right clicking for the desktop. It will then add it to your other custom searches for easy access
Anyone of the links above mention this?

No, because it's a different phone that was never fully rooted and it's the only phone mentioned, but it's worth talking about since it's the first threat that comes off as more than words (though it could still be regardless). Verizon can tell what you're doing far easier on it than other phones because you don't ever have full control of it on the droidx. If there's any phone that can detect if you're doing unauthorized tethering, it's going to be a phone that's locked down. People who buy moto get what they pay for.
Though someone did mention it somewhere in some topic on the thunderbolt forums about the droidx having ways to detect it, but it was just glossed over.
I never used stock hotspot app because I never even try apps with monthly charges. what's the point of checking it out and potentially getting hooked when I'm absolutely certain that I will NOT pay monthly charge for that. I'd rather switch back to T-mobile
with that said, I'm using wifi tether as I write this. it took me a while to configure it because it wouldn't work out of box but it's free and well worth the price!
I've been busy lately and havent kept up with this...so Verizon shut down the free tethering apps, like "wifi tether for root" and others?
Not to throw this thread off topic or anything I just wanted to know how you got the H and # key's confused in the thread title as they are quite far apart. Again, sorry to everyone just kind of a weird mistake.

Seems the Thunderbolt running gingerbread is the same way, although I reverted back to froyo for the time being so I cannot confirm what this article states.

Doesn't CM7 provide an integrated tethering solution? That should be undetectable to Verizon.
If they are baking something into the gingerbread update to detect tethering apps (pun not intended but welcome), it won't find its way into the CM7 code.

I doubt anyone on a T-bolt can confirm since we're still getting free hotspot. Unless they are allowing official hotspot use but blocking tethering apps.
I suppose that would make sense if they're trying to get people hooked on the feature.
Yareally thanks for the links. I don't know if you own a xoom but I have yet been able to get the search feature to work in the xda site. Maybe you could find a link for that as well and post it for me.
I am not currently at home with access to my laptop where I have full availability to use the advanced search feature. So thanks again for making these links available in ones easy to find location.
As for the #.. I use thumb keyboard on t#e xoom and it is t#e result of a long press on t#e h key. I think you should be proud if yourself for being able to figure out what I meant to type.
No offence to anyone but some times when you all jump on people asses there may be extenuating circumstances.
Sry for your troubles. But I hope you rest good at night knowing that you have helped one soul find some good info.
The search feature using a web browser or using the application for xda? I've heard the application has lots of issues for anyone period with the search and since many seem to use it, it's probably the reason for lots of duplicate posts. If you mean browsing it on an internet browser, that seems new to me as far as I know.
I've never used it, I just browse using opera mobile (with a link to the thunderbolt forum on my speed dial and the search tied into the search bar next to the url bar).
Opera mobile still has an unresolved issue with LTE being throttled (max of like 150KB/s), but it's not a deal breaker for me at least compared to using the stock browser in terms of getting to where I want to go quickly and its tie-ins to the desktop browser.
No worries about the thread. Internet makes it hard at times to interpret someone's replies anyways since words can be taken many ways, lol.
So! I am using the latest CM7 build(RC 1.6.1), MR2 Radio, stock kernels and I live on the east coast US. I'm using Fancy Widgets because it's a pretty decent and free replacement for a sense-like clock. But I am often getting an issue that effects not only it, but the default News and Weather App that says I am located in Klaipėda. I can sometimes fix it by opening Google Maps and refreshing my location there, and then refreshing my location in FW. My clock seems to be fine, but the widget app displays a moon after around 2PM. Anyone have ideas?
Yes, you are really in Lithuania. Your phone knows much better about where you are than you do. I mean it has GPS for s***sake.
But really...this has been covered hundreds of times in any CM7 tbolt thread you can find.
It's a problem with network location. Some suggested turning "Mock Locations" off in Applications/Development helped. Others said it made no difference.
BTW, in case Google is a little intimidating I'll get you started...http://www.google.com/search?q=(fan...ation+cm7+thunderbolt+site:xda-developers.com or http://www.google.com/search?q=(fan...ocation+cm7+thunderbolt+RC+site:rootzwiki.com

I'll try using the turning off Mock Locations and see where that gets me. I didn't see it in every thunderbolt thread, probably should have looked just a littler harder. But I seriously thank you for reminding me to use Google in such a way. I mean, it's so useful for finding many things, look at what else I just found.

He was treating you with respect. Lighten up a little The truth is most answers on XDA can be found by using the search button.
As mentioned it's a known bug with all aosp on the ThunderBolt and the devs are aware of the issue.
And yes, you really are in Lithuania lol

I disagree, telling people they are 'special' when they couldn't find something through searching and telling them and suggesting that Google is intimidating comes off rather rude. Not to mention posting a 'TooLongDidntRead.' But maybe I'm just reading too much into this.

If you read a number of my posts, especially some in the dInc forum, I have a tendency to come of VERY blunt with a good does of my own personal character and opinion. It doesn't always come off as well in writing as it does in person. Absolute_Zero is a good guy and will do anything he can to help. I'm sure you can depend on him to answer any question you might have, but like many of the rest of us, I see his point in searching first. There's a lot of people here that know a lot of stuff who didn't obtain that knowledge by question, but rather, by searching it out, and there's a frustration that comes with seeing a question arise that hasn't been researched before posting... at least that's the assumption.
Let's just let it go. This isn't an issue that's going to enrich anyone.

I'd say turn off mock locations, set your location manually and/or use gps to get it. You should be fine then.
I just got my Nook Tablet 2 days ago and am very frustrated by the lack of instruction that I am finding on the internet about using this.
I know how to buy books and to change settings. I have my gmail set up but I cannot figure out the internet portion of this. For some reason the facebook login page was made to be my homepage and I have tried to change it many times....didn't work through settings. Also, while in facebook, I do not see "chat" or who is currently online. Am I doing something wrong? I did not see fb as an app in the app store.
I also have been looking at your lists of apps that everyone has added to their NT. Again, I am frustrated because I do not know what any of you are talking about. I am no techie!
Please help me out here or this thing is going back.
Joyce
If you go over to the B&N website and click on support for the Nook Tablet, you will get links to a dedicated 200 page user manual in pdf. Hopefully that might answer some of your questions.
I have read the manual and it does not give specifics for fb.
I don't think chat is an option with the mobile fb site. Also, the fb app is not available through the market on the nook. There is a fb apk file in the "must have apps" thread here, but not sure if it has chat either.
One thing Barnes and Noble has over Amazon is an actual store.
If you take your NT to the store, someone there should be able to help you set it up the way you want.
In your case specifically, I would recommend ignoring postings about side loading and rooting until you have quite a bit of experience using the stock Nook. You will avoid a lot of frustration that way.
The Alps listed in the "must have" are pretty easy to install and use. Just go to that page from the browser on your nt and click on the link(s). You'll see a little arrow in your notification area, click that and choose the package installer. At some point you'll need to check to OK installing non-market apps. Once you've installed the apps, you can get to them by seaching from the nooks search function. I would recommed installing the Amazon market and buying wave launcher. It will let you access up to 12 apps by swiping a finger, and you can also access all your apps through an app drawer that way too.

I think the OP has received several helpful replies to their problem.
As for the forum itself, I'm new and my experience has been that each of my polite inquiries have received responses, including help side-loading, rooting, and issues with default ringtones.
Perhaps insulting those who are in no hurry to get on Skype and talk to someone they've never met, is a questionable approach. Just a thought.

"Meet" is probably the wrong word. In this sense it would be seeing a number of posts from a user to get a feel for how they deal with others, how knowledgable they are, etc.
You have no doubt seen posts from people which gave you a strong desire to have no interaction with them at all. That kind of thing.
In the very short time I've been watching these forums I've already seen several people jump in with an extremely demanding attitude. Like somehow they're entitled to everyone's immediate help.
Where does that come from? This isn't a Barnes & Noble site. These people aren't paid by B&N. Coming in demanding help seems like the wrong tack to take. If someone is looking to rant about the device they'd probably be more successful going into a B&N store.
Similarly, if you want detailed help on formatting epubs then perhaps a reader-specific forum might be more useful. Something like the Calibre forums maybe. Yes, the Nook Tablet is a reader but the vast majority of the posts here gear towards to the Android tablet side of the device--not the e-reader side.

Dude. EVERYONE I talk to ends up enjoying themselves.
Everyone claims they like people so much. Cell phones are flying off the shelves, Skype is more popular than ever--even Gmail has a BUILT IN PHONE--but we're afraid to call "strangers" or "random internet people" because they could be p*****s, so how can you convince me that you really like people when you're so afraid of them? Who are people calling? Who are you calling? People who already agree with you? Sounds like a boring life to me.

Dude, maybe people don't want to take time out of their day to be your personal nook/android tutor when literally every single person has figured **** out themselves by either using the forum search function or using Google. If you used your time to do research instead of writing long rambling posts, you would already be way ahead of where you are now regarding knowledge. Seriously, everything you ever wanted to know about android is at your fingertips, you just need to put the work in yourself.
Please don't feed the troll.
Wow.
walk away.
Breathe.
Relax before you haave a heart attack.
You catch more flies with honey.
In regards to the op... he did seem to come into a technical forum to attemp to figure out very basic usage information. Read a few threads here and im sure youll pick up some things. I had to google a lot of acronyms and things last week to get up to speed. Kexec, cwm, etc. You'll pick it up. Just keep reading!
I think this has been one off the nicer forums on here, and and I'm proud to be a part of it.
In general augustusbot is 100% correct. This is a forum for modding not for basic usage, the problem though is in general there is no good manual for any android device. The fact that Barnes and Noble has physical stores is great, it is their job to show you how to use your device.
Dooballs....
Go buy an iPad. You will fit right in.

jdubr is just being polite. Nobody wants to talk to you because you behave like a b**t on this forum. The internet is a place full of normal people, but it has its fair share of we****s/a*****es. And we know very little about a person other than what we can discern from their online behaviour. From your prior posts, I personally find you a "***** ******** ******". And I believe most other people would feel the same way. That's why no one wants to talk to you. Try cooling off, then going through your previous posts and looking at them objectively. See if this happens in real life, or in other forums/personal interactions.
It's well and good saying you are well-liked. But based on the evidence we see, it seems to be the opposite. Nobody owes you information, or help. Anything anyone provides here is a gift, yet you demand it and complain when you don't get it.
It's true that information on forums isn't always very organised. But that's just the way they function. There ARE efforts to make it neater. But sometimes the developers/etc are too busy trying to figure out higher level problems to neaten up their work for a beginner to follow. In any case, they don't owe it to you, me, or anyone else.
I'm sure the developers would be more than happy to have people put up tutorial videos for them. But you have to ask nicely, and put in your own effort as well. The effort taken to develop/program/code is immense. To make things fair, how about putting in some of your own effort rather than adding to their load by asking them to simplify/explain everything in a beginner friendly manner?
To the OP, Joyce, there are various FB chat programs on the Android Market, you can try them instead of the official FB app. Also, there is some information on the Android Development Subforum about changing your screen dpi to 160, which may allow you to see the normal FB app on market. But that aspect is not fully firmed up yet, so you might want to wait a week or two till they have it stable.
As for "must have" apps, if you are new to Android, try downloading some of them which sound good, and try them for yourself. What others find good, may not work well for you. And part of the fun is exploring the Market to find apps that fit your purposes well, even if they aren't particularly popular. Try reading the descriptions and reviews on the Market for a quick feel of how the app works.
THREAD CLOSED.
I feel the OP was answered and purpose of the thread satisfied. So, thread closed.
