Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but thought I'd pass this on (sorry if this has been discussed). I bought a T-Mobile 4G Hotspot device at Walmart ($84). Got it set up, and Nexus 7 connects with no problem. Download speed 7144, upload 1716. What's amazing is my phone is on...

OK, rooted my OV about a year ago. Since I bought a Nexus 7 haven't used it much. Decided it was time to try flashing a ROM or "something" (never done that). My OV has been getting laggy, and only shows 50mb internal memory, after uninstalling 75% of my apps. I wiped D cache and relinked...

Lots of odd things started happening today, 1st problems in more than a year (and I seldom use it). Keyboard entries (Swype or Android) don't register in fields. Scrolling wallpaper stopped scrolling. Amazon App store real slow if not dead. Browser works (if you don't have to enter anything...

When I hit the play button on a song sample (Amazon), it downloads the sample rather than plays it. Is there a way to have it play? The downloaded file (.m3u) doesn't play either. I'm using Boat Browser, maybe another browser will work?

Curious why the Galaxy Wifi 5.0 device isn't listed anywhere here. It's "called" an MP3 player, but sure looks like a good small "tablet": Amazon.com: Samsung Galaxy 5.0 Android MP3 Player: MP3 Players & Accessories Has Android 2.3.5, Wifi, Front and rear camera, GPS, market, good screen...

Is the Galaxy Tab worth an extra $100? Galaxy Tab 7 Plus @ $399 android 3.2 1.2hz. dual core 3mp camera 12.2 oz. IR remote HTC Flyer @ $299 android 2.3 1.5hz. single 5 mp camera 14.8 oz.

I posted this in the Applications section, but I think there are more "techies" here, so maybe I'll get more responses here. I use "Android System Info", and there is a log section that lists recent system activity. Yellows are warnings, reds are errors... Yellow...

I use Appbrain for updating apps. Maps updated yesterday (to 5.11), but I still show "Maps" on top saying it needs an update, and also shows in the apps list as "Maps Update 5.11". I hit the update again, and seems to reinstall, but still remains on the top ready to update list (after...

I got an "automatic" Superuser update today. Right after I got a "su binary" is out of date, do you want to update? I hate to have stuff just update itself, is it safe to say "OK"?

I've backed up my "1st" BU, no problems (have free version). I also backup the Titanium BU folder to my PC. 1. If I do another backup of say "Minimalistic Text" because I changed a lot of data, then copy new those files (on SD), to my PC, I'll have both back-ups on my PC (only the latest on...

I've been happy with my Optimus battery life, usually have to charge twice a week. I get no cell signal at home, so I switch to airplane mode when I get home. I tried installing "AutoAP" yesterday to see if I could automate the process. Airplane mode was on when I was using WiFi, and appeared...

I just wanted to post to anyone on Dish. You can buy a Sling adapter for $99, and get a $99 gift card in 6-8 weeks (so free if you have the dough). I ordered one 2 days ago, got it today, plugged it in, rebooted my VIP722, and get a great picture on my PC, and a very good picture on my...
