I realize it isn't ideal to run / jog with such an expensive cellphone, but I recently misplaced my Creative Zen media player and I'll probably try using my EVO. Has anyone tried this out yet, or can recommend good cases or carriers for use while running?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI read here: http://www.androidguys.com/2009/10/11/developers-can-now-target-by-carrier-in-android-market/ that it can be done if you go to the Android Market, and go to your app, then go to Publishing Options -> Locations, but I don't see anything to select a specific carrier there, only specific countries. Is this something that Google changed? Can this still be done, or is it done automatically? Can't the carrier be detected from the device?

I wanted to talk with other Google Voice users about how they are using Google Voice with their Android. I am pretty new to both the concept of a single number and especially how I might use it with Android.
Please use this thread to post questions about how to use the android app and the overall app. Again, we can't hand out invites, only Google can.
I can't find any solid guides explaining how to do this. I am trying to get a rezound on to boost mobile, but I'd like to learn how to do it for any phone (specifically Android phones).

I'm about to dump ATT/IPhone for Sprint/Android (EVO), but one thing has been nagging me and I want to make sure I know my options before jumping (e.g. given these 2 yr contracts).My concern is with ongoing support for my phone after purchase, support in terms of receiving the latest/greatest updates to the Android platform (e.g. within hardware constraints). Who ultimately controls whether a phone gets a release (e.g. Carrier or Manufacturer)?It seems to me the best bet is to go with the Nexus One platform given that is under the control of Google and should be well supported in that respect. However, it seems like it is going to be a hassle and/or costly to go with Nexus One using Sprint. Is there anyway around paying full price for Nexus One and using Sprint as a carrier? Any chance Google has a deal with the carriers to subsidize phones?Plus, I would prefer not to have the blot (e.g. UI modifications, app replacements, etc) added to the phone by Carriers and/or Manufactures (e.g. prefer Android as perceived by Google). Wondering who has the control of UI modifications. Does the Carrier contract with the Manufacturer and have control over what is added and how it is supported (e.g. whether a phone gets a new Android release, etc)? Or does the Manufacturer have the control?And lastly, say I get the EVO and on down the line someone (Manufacturer or Carrier) decides no more updates for the EVO. It sounds like I should be able to root the phone and continue with updates. Without support from Carrier/Manufacturer of course, but is it against the Carriers rules to root a phone?
Also, when rooting a phone, I'm assuming you can not take a release straight from Google and install it. Rather, someone has to implement the release for the target hardware (e.g. build, add any necessary drivers, etc). Are there any gotchas in doing this? Who is the most reliable supplier of these builds? I know that is a pretty broad question and I'll plan on doing additional research in that areas, but if anybody can give me a nudge or share their experience, that would be great.
My friend said that his carrier was tracking all his internet history.
Do any carriers do this.
Does anyone know a list of countries and carriers where phones with the Android OS can be bought?
I searched for a while for this now but haven't found anything...
Does the 4.4 update remove the carriers restrictions on the Google wallet? Specifically can you use the nfc payment. I read that the carriers restricted the nfc payment feature on Google wallet for "supposed security reasons" and that the 4.4 update is supposed to fix this.

I personally am using the HoFo community ROM, which is basically the stock Rogers ROM just rooted and has some small optimizations. I like it because it is fast and stable because I believe the core wasn't changed, and it is rooted.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI want to download a WiFi Toggle On/Off App on my Sprint HTC Hero. I assume this will save battery power. Correct? This will save battery power because when it's toggled off, it won't waste power searching for available WiFi networks when I don't need to be looking for them. Correct? I can go into Menu, Settings (so many steps) to change my settings to turn this on and off. So, there's Apps on the Android Market that can be downloaded to have a WiFi - On and Off - toggle switch. I went to the Android Market and there were so many!
Question:
What is the most recommended - simple - practical - no bells and whistles - most reliable - absolutely best that nobody beats it - WiFi - On and Off - Toggle switch? I see this one from Curvefish is quite popular: WiFi OnOff v1.2.1 Application for Android | Tools
Is this one the most recommended?
New Droid User here. Im looking for a good YM IM app- what do you reccomend?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm an Incredible user, but my girlfriend has an Eris. I'm tired of hearing her bitch about the speed of the phone, and how it occasionally locks up on her, so (now that the easy root method for leaker's is out) I'm about to root her phone and install a custom ROM. Now, I have a few questions for you folks since I'm not familiar with the Eris community at all (and I have some time constraints since she needs her phone back).
1. I'm looking for a ROM recommendation. What I'm looking for is something extremely stable and fast. I don't need any bells/whistles. She doesn't use tethering, at all but it must have GPS/Camera/Blue tooth/MMS working. Don't really care if it has Sense, but if there is something fast/stable WITH sense, that would not be a bad thing. Most important things are speed and bug-free (or damn close). Froyo would be nice (obviously).
2. I am unfamiliar with overclocking. I come from a phone where you overclock by installing a hydra kernel, so I don't know how this works on the Eris. It sounds like I will have to manually set up overclocking in Set CPU, and I'm not familiar with the application. If anyone can give me some tips on how to do this, or recommended settings that would be AWESOME. One thing to keep in mind is that this is not my phone, so I won't have time to tinker with trial and error (in other words I won't be able to start testing at 850mhz and work my way down until it's stable).I know this is a lot to ask, but I'm hoping some of you guys will be able to help me out given the circumstances. Thanks in advance.

1. Did you charge the phone for the 8 hours (or until full) before you used it, or did you get to playing with it right away?

New to rooting and just got myself setCPU. I was wondering what some standard profiles that people use to maximize performance and battery life. So far I have it set to underclock when the screen is off and when less than a certain battery percentage. What temperature should I be looking at as "dangerous" to set my cpu to underclock then as well? Any other recommended profiles?
