Default [Q] Infuse

Greetings all,

Newer android user/infuse owner here - finally turning the almighty 3GS into a glorified mp3 player...where it belongs.

So I have a couple issues with the infuse and I wanted to see if anyone else noticed them or could point me in the right direction.

a) While plugged into an AC power source (Not the computer), the device is useless, will not function, or functions so slowly that it's completely unusable. Normal USB to computer works fine.

b) How do I change the main bar buttons. (ie. phone, email, web, apps). I'm a gmail user and would prefer to have the gmail app in place of the factory email app.

Thanks in advance for helping a newbie.

Go to applications then use the menu button and change the ordering to custom. Then with the menu button you can go to edit and drag apps around, including to your bar. Alternatively you could get another launcher which replaces your desktop and applications drawer, use something like adw or launcherpro

Sometimes the device can overheat when on the charger and this can cause slow down but it shouldn't be too bad. Try letting it cool down a bit if it becomes unusable.

Perfect, thanks for the applications menu tip!

I suppose over-heating could be the issue, but I had just plugged it in and was only reading emails and surfing the web. It wasn't like I was playing angry birds for hours before hand. This unusable while plugged in via AC problem was especially annoying in the airport when I needed to use the phone and also needed to charge it. Thanks for the insight.
