Hi everyone,
I bought an Atrix about 1 month ago, I like it very much and I've been playing around and trying to catch up with some android knowledge because I used BB for several years..
So yesterday I installed ADW launcher and I'm getting used to it, but I can not recover the accuweather widget. If i try to add it, it says my location already has a widget. But I can not figure out how to switch to the motoblur launcher to delete it, or delete it some other way... it might be simple but I am clueless..
Also, Gmail seems to have stopped refreshing unless I do it manually. I have switched simcards a few times to be able to download apps from the market (I am currently in China), not sure if I can reset it somehow? Other email and notifications seem to work ok.
Thanks for your advice.

I've got two questions about the Calendar and Poweramp and hope this is the right place to post.
I sync my Google calendar and office Outlook calendar with my Samsung Galaxy. I usually have the Launcher Pro Paid Calendar widget or Calwidget on one of the homescreens. I've noticed that after tapping some events in these widgets and perhaps deleting one or two*, I'll get a message on my notification bar stating that there are too many calendar deletes. I never really paid much attention to them, until today. I noticed that the first two events for the week have been deleted, though I'm almost 100% sure that I never deleted them. So my question is, can the widgets be 'buggy' such that if I were to accidentally double tap an event, it gets deleted?
*The reason I deleted the events is that I often get duplicates (or even 'triplicates'). Does that happen to others?
Lastly, I tried installing the modded transparent Poweramp widget two weeks ago. My phone had a pop-up message stating that the modded Poweramp could not be installed. So I deleted the .apk file, but I still can't install the original free Poweramp. Any ideas what might have gone wrong? There's a possibility that I might have copied and placed the file in another folder while using Root Explorer, but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance.
I just lost almost all the Feb and March appointments in my office outlook. They still shows on my phone's calendar, though I'm not sure whether they'll disappear later. And my Nov and December appointments in outlook have duplicated or quadruplated themselves.
Looks like I can't trust outlook anymore.

Well, you know what the issue was now.....
I still don't know why Outlook should go bonkers though.
Hey everyone,
So, long story short, I was moving from a Droid X to a Droid Charge, wanted to keep my apps etc, Titanium backup'd the Droid X stuff and restored on my rooted Droid Charge. Some apps were overlapped and issues arose. I sorted them all out except for the Calendar. It wouldn't launch so I thought I had to do what I did with the other overlapped apps and delete it. Welllll...now I can't re-install the Touchwiz calendar. Can anyone help me re-install it? Or any calendar for that matter?
Thanks!

ok i did a few searches and didnt see anything like this answered.
i have a market issue with infused 1.6
its more of an android issue i feel, than the phone.
i have 2 gmail accts linked to my phone, my main one and the one from work, so i can check email.
my problem. market is linking to my work gmail. it shows none of the apps i have purchased on my main acct. only the ones on my work gmail. if i delete the work gmail, it works fine.
how do i tell market which gmail acct to link too? i have searched for hours in the settings and cannot resolve this issue.
my only fix atm is too remove the work gmail and add it when i check mail.
this issue did not start unitil a. i updated 1.5 to 1.6 of infused, or b. the market did an update after i updated to 1.6
any help would be appretiated

Use menu key, select "accounts", and select the needed account.
did they just add that? i swear i looked and didnt see it. but this was about 2 weeks ago. i had just given up then. the menu button only had my apps settings and more. maybe i just over looked it. funny cause thats the first place i think i looked.
thanks for the fast answer

1) If your old phone is rooted you can use Titanium backup to backup you old apps and then restore them on your new phone.
2) Backup your contacts on your old phone to your Gmail account, then when you sign in on your new phone they should sync automatically (if they then don't manually sync them in the Accounts & sync settings.)

Where on my old phone can I do the gmail update to get my contacts? Just now thinking do I just turn on the sync?
As far as rooting I did want to root! I wanted to make the epic just a tablet games and music for my little man! Is there a way that is somewhat hassle free? I don't need anything special just games and music.
TY!

It's somewhat different for every phone, it should be under Account settings or something similar to that, then select your Gmail account, and manually sync them. You can check that they're backed up properly by logging into Gmail on your desktop and right under the Google logo there should be the word "Gmail" with a drop down menu, click that then go to Contacts, then make sure they're all there.
Look on the Epic sub-forum for how to root, it's a bit different for each phone. If you're fine with the stock UI on your phone I'd suggest just doing a factory reset and then using it as a tablet, if you wanted some sort of custom interface you'd have to check if something like that exists in the Epic sub-forum. There isn't much I can do to help with this, I've never used the Epic.

kinda pissed the phone doesnt have a sd card! the att guy had me do mobile transfer and got my contacts. but idk how well it will transfer my pics... i dont want doubles.
All of the sudden I can't add an event in any calender app. Google calendar just crashes when I try, aCalendar tells me I need to have at least one calendar activated under "My calendars" but there is no such place on my device. Anyone know what is going on? This happened several months ago but I can't remember what the solution was. thanks
Well, I think I know what the problem is, when I installed this ROM it never asked me to set up a Google account. Right now it says that it can't communicate with the Google servers and try later, which is weird but hopefully that will fix it.
