A co-worker just got it to work yesterday. Excellent phone. Very thin, great display, very fast and responsive. 2 words: GET IT!

If you say so, Sheik

So what happens if I root my phone? Do I get to do more shit or something?

 

[Zlatan]

I'm not exactly sure, to be honest. It's possible that you can void your warranty, but I'd say that the benefits of rooting + custom ROM far outweigh the risk

The risk of bricking is quite small, because the phones are pretty much identical and the developers test their solutions a lot before releasing them into the wild. Still, it's a good idea to read through forum threads to see what kind of issues people report, and ALWAYS read the warnings and instructions before you touch anything.

Yep, I understood why you were interested in unrooting, and I was saying that it probably won't be necessary to do so. Then again, it might be safer just in case they try to blame custom software for hardware faults.

Thanks for the answers Graham :thumbs:

You get more freedom with customizing you're phone.

Got my Galaxy S II. I don't understand how to work this thing at all. How to I change my background and edit the widgets etc? I also can't find a good facebook app.

Hey sheik what is that widget that says how many hours of battery is left?

 

[Nenz]

Is there anyway you can transfer your old contacts to your android from your old phone?

 

[Salvo]

Save them to the sim and then once in your new phone save the contacts to phone?

I'm way in over my head here

Press the Menu button, which is to the left of the Home button and you'll see 'Wallpaper' in the menu. Select it and browse to change the wallpaper.

For editing just touch and hold on any empty space on your homescreen, and you'll see the widgets appear at the bottom.

The Facebook app should be available in the Android Market. Search there. Open the Market app from the apps list.

You're welcome, mate. I do have a great affinity towards helping people.

I tried Viber, but I hardly used it. Plus, I didn't like the idea that it would run all the time. So I removed it.

Other than through HTC Hub, I do not know.

Any useful/fun apps? New, old it doesn't matter.

Check out the game 'Dragon, Fly'. Quite fun.
