Not used android before, I will also assume there isn't a hombrew/overclocking/patching repository and app like preware?

Also no way to enable flash in the background when flash becomes available?

Seems pretty silly having multi-core processing without the ability to multitask, doesn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
You don't know much about Android, do you?

Android does have ability to multitask. It is just an effective multitasking. Applications can be left 'running' without them actually running. They are written in memory and kept there, without taking battery, until they are called back and continue on from where they left off. But Android also allows applications to open services in the background, triggered by specific time or event or by an application, that allows them to work while the application is not in focus. Many music players are done this way. Also a lot of apps synchronize in the background in this manner.

It is entirely the application developers decision to do what is best for the specific application. Android 4.0 gives all the tools the user needs. This is not Windows desktop where every working application and process takes processing power to keep running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shaffaaf27:
Would be awesome then if someone made a YouTube app that worked in the background

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
If Sprint Hotspot gives you issues, you'll need to flash THIS ...but that'll limit you to 3G. Does the PS3 work with AD-HOC connections (which is what wifi tether and barnacles app creates)? I'm guessing it doesn't by default since you can't see it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spywhite:
I bought one of these phone's really cheap. The owner could not get it to boot. They had not tried a new battery. I opened it up and discovered a lot of corrosion on the USB part of the PCB, everything else "seems" O.K. I cleaned the corrosion from the USB PCB but it does not charge and the computer doesn't recognize it. I ordered a new battery, wall charge dock unit, USB pcb and a loudspeaker assembly about a week ago. Today I received the new OEM battery in the mail. I popped it in and the phone booted up. No real problems except it's locked to a provider I don't have any interest in using. Since USB is broken, I have to wait until the PCB part is delivered to replace it. I also noticed the home button (center plastic button) is not working. I have no problems keeping a stock ROM but I need to root to unlock it and this requires USB. My question is this, am I going to have any serious problems rooting and unlocking the phone if I can't get the Home button functioning?

I think you need the home button to get into download mode. I might be mistaken though (need download mode to flash insecure kernel from Odin)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george241312:
u should clean the corrosion with 99% isopropyl alcohol and a new tooth brush as for the home button sadly you need to remove the whole entire screen to get to it.. but once ur there just take the plastic off the click and use an eraser to clean it ,yes a pencil eraser..... this also works on blackberrys when there is water dmg on the buttons....

I have already done that, the damage is too extensive on the USB PCB. Going to wait for the new part. Thanks for the home button info though. Is there a USB jig that can auto root these phones?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
It's rebooting after turning off because of the USB port/circuit damage. A new one will fix this easily. You can root it without the home button using DoomLord's root toolkit.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spywhite:
Yayah!!

Wanted to thank you again. I replaced the USB flex cable and used Doomlord's to root and used an App off the market to SIM unlock it. Sweet things, loving this phone! Just need to replace the home button. I am using button savior for the home button for now.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
I tried to figure this out by skimming the Link2SD topic, but seeing that there were 202 pages intimidated me. I have a few simple quick questions.

1. Does Link2SD work with Android 2.3.3 or is it only for older versions of Android?

2. If I have previously moved things to SD using the native Apps2SD support, do I have to uninstall them before I use Link2SD?

3. If the answer to the above is No, is there a performance hit in not doing so?

4. Does Link2SD require an unlocked bootloader?

5. Does it work on the rooted Verizon Xperia Play running the stock ROM?

I think that's it. I'm going to probably go ahead and experiment with the program anyway, but if someone can shortcut the process by answering these questions, that would be a big help!

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
EDIT:

1. YES - works on 2.3.3

2. NO I didn't have to uninstall them, just link them.

3. No but some programs may need to be uninstalled and reinstalled before they work. And some apparently don't like being linked.

4. Apparently not.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Falkner09:
So Ive been a Sidekick user for a while, but today, I just dropped my phone on some concrete. it was in my hand at my side when I did, but it still shattered the screen pretty badly. its readable, but there are actual tiny shards of it that have been poking me, and i'm afraid to even put it in my pocket for fear it will gets glass in my pants to surprise me later. also, the screen's malfunctioning, acting like it's being touched when it isn't, not registering actual touches, etc. so I need a new phone.

the only phones I'm interested in is another Sidekick ($380), or a mytouch 4g slide (at least $500). problem is, even though my contract has run only a few months, it's actually cheaper to pay the cancellation fee (max $200) and switch to another provider than to buy a new phone unsubsidized, which is all that t-mobile will allow. (T Mobile really screwed up here, huh?)

so since its almost black friday, does anyone know of a good sale on either the Sidekick or the Mytouch 4g slide?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
You can get a new touchscreen for $50 on ebay if the rest of the phone is still in good shape.

I bought my Sidekick 4G used off of Craigslist Seattle for $200 back in July or August. It was a month old, came in box, and didn't have a scratch or mark on it. I found that they were selling for more than that on eBay.

If you do decide to get a whole new phone, what would you want for your broken one? I'm interested in it for parts and experiments.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
Oh and btw u can sell it to adam for dev purposes like unbrickable mod
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
That might be the best idea. The only part I'd be using right away would be the earpiece speaker, as mine has a bad crackle. Everything else was for future repairs or hacking, none of which I'm currently anticipating.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Falkner09:
yeah, it's not just the screen though, it turns out. I know I've missed at least one text message that was sent to me, and probably more. and maybe incoming calls. I made two calls last night, and at the beginning of one of them, the speaker started out extremely quiet and cut in and out.

come to think of it, that's pretty bad craftsmanship; the phone literally fell only 2 1/2 feet while at walking speed, and has no damage at all to the bezel, chassis etc., yet the internals are now screwed up? not good....

Hi,

I bought a new Skyrocket and Internet is working fine with the new connection I got with the phone.

But I am trying to use another pre-paid AT&t SIM card with the phone, everything seems to be working fine except internet.

I can't get internet working. If I put the postpaid SIM back it works.

I already tried the wap.cingular setting, but no luck.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Its an lte phone even on at&t you have to call them and tell them u have this phone or u will have no data.

A quick 5 minute call to them and i was good to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Global Swag:
A call is really not necessary. The fastest thing to do is to add an APN setting as the setting already there is for 4G LTE only. Add the wap.cingular setting and apply it, then your all set.

[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
Are you trying to say, can u boot into recovery from the beginning (turn on-shortcut key-recovery) ?

if yes, try the latest CM nightly (#18-20) or the older custom kernel (huexxx v<4 & nova < 8)

you can boot into recovery by pressing the volume button (with those above)

CMIIW

if the answer is no, then give me another CMIIW :D :p
[LG Optimus Black] mauka:
Sorry for my bad English, because translating through google translator.

Maybe there are craftsmen and will create a modified firmware to enable fastboot and recovery training on the phone.

On the LG GT540 like a firmware created during the transition to 2.1.

And the black can create when moving to 2.3.
