Android Smartphones

First topic message reminder :

I've just recently moved on to using smartphones after years of regular celphone use. And I say that the move was quite a pain (brainfart all the time!). So what's your best Android app?

what is ROOTING? and what is BRICK??

so, Vertex, are you on whatsapp oready??

i think rooting is like Overclocking,

Wikipedia: Rooting is a process that allows users of cellphones and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's Linux subsystem, similar to jailbreaking on Apple devices running the iOS operating system, overcoming limitations that the carriers and manufacturers put on such phones.

Brick - a literal term used to describe your phone when you screw up while doing the root. It's the worst case scenario, that if something wrong has happened while rooting, you phone will be worthless as a brick!


@ whey: yea you can do overclocking or underclocking

but brick can be use to build a house .. joke ..

in layman's term...nah! i don't like the sound of it.
im good as long as i can use my phone to basic function.
on other words, i still have other life

but thanks a lot for answering my question. i've been reading android forums, and a lot of them are talking "android" .. makes me blur!

"rooting" is like the "jailbreak" in iphone...

AppBox Pro is very useful for me and my wife lalo na ang pCalendar app

Swype Keyboard: it will make your life easier, specially sa pag compose ng email or text.
It's bundled na with samsung androids, im not sure with other brands.

If you don't have it yet, Just register (it's free) and follow the installation instructions. (For Android phones or tablets (any brand)
Be sure to watch the videos, it's cool and entertaining!

I think he's using Pogo Stylus Pen?

I've done some Overclocking and Undervolting at the same time on my Samsung Galaxy S, just stable and smooth enough to play my fave games and to compensate for the extra power needed to get the higher clocks without draining the battery fast.

ROM: cyanogenmod CM7 nightly, 2.3.5 Gingerbread
Kernel: Glitch OC Kernel, OC'd @ 1.4 GHz (could be pushed to 1.7 GHz)


Overclocking/ Undervolting Values


Quadrant Benchmark score has tripled @ 3400 pts from just 1000 pts on standard Froyo Rom and about 2000 pts on CM7 Stock kernel

hahaha....

ayun...lumabas na ba yung htc na yan...

may binabasa akong magazine na nabili ko sa booksale, imported, nireview yung mga bagong android phones, top pick yung samsung galaxy SII.....

maganda din yang HTC na yan. Pero, crush ko pa rin si samsung galaxy SII.....

hindi pa ata lumabas, almost the same lang specs nila, hindi nagkakalayo, mas mapormang tignan yung samsung, tapos medyo astig yung 3d capabilities nung htc pero hindi ko alam kung mganda yung pagka 3d ng mga photos and videos,

@whey..wow 3d..di na kelangan ng 3d glasses? yung bagong samsung kasi nakita ko up-close...gamit nung katabi ko dati sa van...maganda sya...drool worthy, wala naman akong pambili...kaya, i'll just be satisfied with looking at it in the shops....

sir mund pa humble pa e..sige na bili na!!hehe

offtopic: ngee...di pwede, wala akong income buwan buwan...buti kung gabi gabi may 3d job ako katulad ni tito cloud..kaso, mga master lang nagkakaroon ng ganyang sideline....mortal lang talaga ako pagdating sa 3d...

try ko sigurong pag ipunan, baka paglabas ng next version mura na yan...pwede ko na mabili...di naman ako mahilig sa bago...features lang talaga habol ko....

If your phone is there then you should be happy.
You can find all info about rooting, flashing new roms, kernel, modem etc...

Enjoy your rooted phone!

if you are going for a tablet - the nook color is a cheap alternative. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nookcolor/index.asp

it's only 250USD as compared to its counterpart the galaxy tab 500USD.

the reason it's cheap is because it was only meant to be an ereader - but it can be rooted to run android as well

it may not be as responsive as the other tablets but i find it a good bargain - and of course, runs on android

sorry mejo OT. but aside from ANGRY BIRDS my best app would be MoboPlayer (the only android media player that runs most video formats)

i think it does

Hi Sirs and Ma'ams,

Share ko lang po tong mga sobrang useful na ndroid apps na gamit. Useful sila lalo na sa site

Advanced Ruler Pro
Ruler sa cam na pwede pang measure ng distance (you from object), height, and length (point to point). Kelangan lang sobrang precise nung initial calibrations na iinput niyo.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/advanced-ruler-pro/com.yingwen.rulerpro

D-Measures
App na pwede lagyan ng dimensions yung mga picture na kinuha niyo.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dsol.dmeasures

Smart Compass
Sa tingin ko dapat maging standard na to sa mga portable na device

Cheers

Sir,

try VNC Viewer - It lets you safely log in and connect to a remote machine.

You can launch your renders / check it or actually kahit ano gusto mo gawin.
Medyo laggy nga lang depende sa connection mo.
