Android

So I was thinking of switching to an android phone from my wm phone and I just want to make sure it can do everything I need. So my questions are: I dont have broadband where I live so I download big files on my phone then transfer them to my puter can I do this with an android phone? Will it download any type of file? Can I choose where to save it to? Can I view and extract rar and zip files on the phone? Can I view all files on the storage card even if they are not android files? Can I watch any type of video file? Is there a torrent client app? I think thats pretty much it. Thanks

For anybody who has been wondering, this is how it is done;

1. Ensure that you have a PC emulator for the same system as the game you play on your phone. For Gameboid, the VBAdvance is a good option.

2. Connect your phone to your PC via USB, put phone in Mass Storage mode.

3. COPY your ROM and it save file to your PC, in a folder of its own. Make sure that the ROM and save file are in the same folder together. Also, do NOT use a 'Save State' file, use an actual in-game save file.

4. Change the extension of the save file to '.sav'. Once again, this does NOT work for 'Save State' files.

5. Load ROM from phone on the PC. The game should load normally. Insert any Gameshark or other memory-editting codes you'd like, and then save t...

I will leave my nokia 5800xm for an android phone eventually I am just desperately holding on to the hope that nokia will release a phone that at the very least has a 1ghz processor. neways is there a navigation application that compares to ovi maps with free turn by turn voice navigation? and is there any android phone that is not recognized by at&t as a smartphone my 5800 is not at the moment and its pretty sweet but no really a requirement

so better then the rest. Don't just say the ap store. Want a real reason. I have played with all of the OS and personally like Windows. Make a assessment.

it's a new phone - and was immediately upgraded to the 2.1 OS. Every now and then the browser just closes without warning and resets itself to the google home page.

is there a solution?

I have a Motorola Blur with T-mobile does anyone know if this device will get the Android Update? Currently I have 1.6...thanks !

Does anybody who uses the VBA app for Android know if there is a way to 'link' games for multiplayer, like the physical GBA used a link-cable? Whether it's a cord or wireless, this would help immensly.

I work for US Cellular and have seen the phones that we are getting and one is the Samsung Acclaim (Exclusive to USCC) and the other is the HTC Desire which is VERY comparable to the HTC incredible the only difference being the Desire is a little wider than the Incredible and has a 5MP camera with autofocus and flash -vs- Incredible that has 8MP camera with dual LED flash and autofocus.

Google HTC Desire and Incredible and Compare the specs for yourself.

Should be getting the Samsung Acclaim in June and The HTC Desire in July sometime.

There are only 4 post here since the new year had started. Commone guys. voice your favorite Apps. I will be getting the Nexus One in two or three days and I want cool apps for it. (t-mobile kind)

is there a way to update the OS from 1.5? I'm at work and haven't tried yet I just wanted to know.

motorola backflip 1.5 OS

Just downloaded:
Zeam - changes home screens from 5 to 9, maybe other benefits I haven't found yet

SlideIT - text slide to get words better for onscreen texting, also includes shortcuts (alot of shortcuts), I changed a few shortcuts lol = Lots of Love so I changed it to lol = lol and added cbe to abbrev. a city I'm in a lot

Since the 2.1 update hit my Eris, I've been far more inclined to use widgets. As such, I thought that it might be interesting to start a thread solely about widgets to see which ones everyone here uses, as well as why they use them.

If you know right off hand, then try to include information about the available dimensions for each widget, measured in tiles. (In other words, since one home screen is a 4x4 grid, then a widget that takes up the entire with of the screen and half of its height is a 4x2 widget.) Also, please state which Android version you use, preferably including your device model.

As I mentioned previously, I'm using an HTC Droid Eris that's running Android 2.1. Here are the widgets that I'm using at the moment...

Nothing for the HTC Hero yet...

Lets update this old thread. give me some of your favorite apps off the market.

I'm looking to get another phone because my rooted G1 is awesome, but the battery sux and there isn't a headphone jack. Want the Nexus, but can't afford it on my current contract. So, I've got it narrowed down to myTouch3G, or the Cliq XT. But the ability to have root access is a must. Does anyone have a list of Androids that do NOT have root capability?

Thanks in advance

S.M.

what known issues does the samsung moment have?

im thinking about rooting my g1 but i havent decided yet. im new to the whole concept, what exactly does it do and what would i then be able to do that i cant do now? i know it would void warranty and thats not a problem, just curious and want to study before i make any decisions.

Does anyone know how far off Google is in solving the Nexus One's 3G/Reception issues? Or how I can stay on top of it and be notified? I have T-Mobile and I want to buy one, however, not until that is solved. Thanks. 😢

A while ago, I was watching a video on youtube about the HTC hero, and they guy who was narrating the video had a transparent notification window, the one you slide down from the top. Is there an app for this? Or would I need to root my phone to use it?
