I bought a samsung galaxy 5

Worst phone ever, please tell me that the OS on that is a piss take of what Android can really do.

That's possibly the worst phone Samsung ever made. The Wave series included. Why would you buy this pile of crap anyway? Unless you got it as a gift you've no excuse

Anyone into games?

Cut the rope now is there for Android too ! It's such a fun and beautiful game, give it a try :

Yup, loved this one since my iPhone days. Read about it 2 days ago being available for Android but didn't have the time to check it out yet.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Is GPS service on htc desire free and unlimited ? I don't know why my GPS is not working anymore, my mobile network also stop working with it but I found out that the antivirus is blocking its connection. but still don't know why my gps is not working, the icon apears and keep blinking but it can't find me in google map or anywhere else like it used to.

any idea?

First of all, I really don't think you need an anti-virus program on your phone.

Second, all GPS tracking is free. The GPS radio connects directly to satellites. BUT, if you have a mobile internet connection, the GPS uses the cell tower co-ordinates to pin-point your location quickly. So THAT uses some bandwidth, and costs you some moolah. But tracking your location using GPS only and not using internet(mobile or wifi) will take a long time. Close to 15 mins even. I don't recommend that.

yea I deleted the antivirus, it didnt seems its doing anything special there

Aha, I think thats the problem, because the last time I used GPS and mobile internet together It charge me some credit on my phone which was more than what i expected, I thought the internet usage is just for downloading maps and stuff and start trying to use the GPS without Internet , but now I get it.

Thanks Sheik

Why would you willingly purchase a Motorola handset?

For the same or less price you can get a far superior android device

The next time you're on a wifi connection, download the latest version of Google Maps. Using that, you can download the map area so that you can browse the map offline. I did it, and downloaded the map to my entire city, cos apparently my city is smaller than a 10 mile radius.

What Dru said. Do enough research for other phones of the same price. Make sure you check some phones by LG, Samsung, and if you feel adventurous, Acer.

Anyone know of any places to get Juve wallpapers or themes for my Mytouch 4g?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I really don't know and don't care about themes on Android. As for wallpaper, Google Images?

I liked the sturdiness of the phone. Any suggestions about phones in that range?

The good Samsung phones i checked were a bit more expensive than Defy. Any website where i can check the phones in that range?

Try Univercell.in, though the website itself sucks donkey balls. Or for even recent prices, check Ebay.in.

Got a HTC Evo 4G today

Sweet-ass fuck!

i wanna buy a samsung galaxy mini...what's your opinion about it? did you had one?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Personally, I think Android is better enjoyed on a bigger screen rather the screen on mini phones. The display clarity and quality takes a big hit with mini phones. Get the original Samsung Galaxy S if available. Even a used piece, but not a Mini phone.

 

[blondu]

thanks for the advice, i will buy a samsung after i get rid of this e63

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Cool. Make sure teh screen size is at least 3.7" to ensure a great display experience.

 

[blondu]

you can upgrade to 2.3 android version on the samsung galaxy s?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Seems like it does.

BTW, FUCK SAMSUNG for having a million phones named Galaxy S! Makes searching for one really convenient!
