In the user settings in control panel, does it say "User" or does it say "nettie?" Not sure if you can change this once it's set without creating a whole new user. It's been a long time since I've had to do that.

As far as i know you should need a simple file explorer, browse to the apk and tap it to run. At least that's how you do it on most Android devices. The kindle fire is one i have yet to play with though, so I might be wrong.

That's odd, perhaps something hanging up. My Gtalk syncs both on my phone and on my laptop. Although I don't use the app, only the gmail / G+ version. Maybe it has something to do with the actual gtalk PC app? I would uninstall that completely and use only the gmail client and see if that fixes it. Also, I noticed mine syncs much quicker if my phone is on WIFI rather than via 3g. Hopefully they will eventually improve this to make it instant. That would be awesome! I am constantly continuing conversations on my phone to my laptop to my tablet.

Sure, glad you got it figured out.

I don't think it has anything to do with the caller ID but everything to do with having them in your contacts list with the proper phone numbers and everything. If they call and the number is blocked or restricted or not in your contact list, it won't know. But if they are in there, you should be able to assign a ringtone. It's been a while since I was on 2.3.3 but I'm pretty sure that's the case. The caller ID comes from your contact list.

What Android phone do you have? And please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. I'm building up my Android street cred

Doesn't truecrypt do this?

I'm not the pro on this, but it sounds to me like you might have reminders disabled. Try to enable reminders, then check the box and see if that works. If not let us know and we'll do a little digging!

I wonder if this has anything to do with the new privacy policy going into effect. You might want to login in to your google checkout account or google wallet and see if they want you to update something before allowing you to make purchases. I'd be curious to see if that is it. Let me know!

I believe it's in the user preferences. IF you click your name at the top, then click user tools, then email notificiations. Is that what you're talking about?

What you could do is write every developer of every game you purchased, tell him you are switching to android and see if they will send you the apk. They will probably want to make the 2.99 though, so you might be out of luck. Plus, it's 2.99, just buy them. Supporting app developers is the cool thing to do.

Either that or try gmail to manage contacts, remove any without phone numbers, or make a separate group that only your contacts with phone numbers go in, that way when you import, you can import the group that has phone numbers, leaving everything else.
