Noobie to Android

Hi all,
I've spent the last few years playing with PCs and 3G modems
"I retired early and one must do something to keep out of the wifes' way"
I'm quite adept on the PC front and unlocking 3g modems is fun but
I've just purchased a cheapish 10" pad root@wanghua-desktop #289
Build FRF85B
I don't know what I'm doing but I got stuck in and rooted it with a free app called Gingerbreak.
I have gained access to the 4GB sdcard via a FTP server app and I'm able to add books directly to the card.(big deal):eek:

If anyone put me in the direction of a good instruction set of
1. How to interact with the superuser program thats running:confused:
(doesn't appear in the application programs but is running)
2. what commands are available.:rolleyes:
As I really want to un-install some of the embedded programs and it wont let me (un-installed failed every time)

Look forward to hearing from you
 
I went through the Hell of Gates :D, bit into an Apple :eek: and hastily renegaded to Android :D Just yesterday sold my erratic iPhone 5 and bought a little Huwaei Y300 Ascend at a tenth of the new price of the iPhone 5.

My phone is just that: a phone and not an ego boosting theme park. Gosh, I do Skype and Whatsapp and BBM and other stuff but I actually do use my phone as a telephone. How many people still do that?

I would love to find an Android PC Suite that runs on Linux Mint and I also still need to see how Android itself can run on Linux.

I live on a continent three times the size of the USA and even the Sahara desert alone is larger than USA.
We have 54 independent countries
There are 1,017 billion people
Only 15,6% of us have Internet but the market is growing at 3 600%
Broadband coverage maps indicate 2G, 3G and LTE but actually getting a good signal is a real challenge. No signal equates to no cloud.
Therefore, we need our phones and computers to sync locally via USB, wireless or Bluetooth.
What we need to sync is contacts, calendar, tasks & notes.

I must say that I am duly impressed with the el cheapo little Chinese phone that I had bought less than 48 hours ago, as it has way better compatibility with Linux and also way better camera functionality than the fallen fruit from Adam's garden. If the hardware is going to last, all will be well. The humongously expensive iPhone was replaced under warranty within its first few months!

So, here I am, boots & all in Droidea, pioneering a new territory along the journey called life. :D

I see a lot of el-cheapo Chinese phones, I'm in China. :thumbup: ...don't currently use one myself. Have a mid-range Samsung that I'll be replacing with a Nexus 5 in June, when I visit the UK.

I'm a Linux Mint user, really because I've had it up to here with Mr. Gates's antics in the PRC. I have a Macbook as well with Snow Leopard I use at home, but that was given to me. If it conks out, won't be replacing it with another Apple computer, too expensive.
 
@mikedt :D So you build stuff that works, do it cheaply and then import from SK? Unpatriotic! :D :D

I have owned a number of Huawei modems and all of them worked rather smoothly, also in Linux. Now this Y300 phone that cost twelve times less than the iPhone it replaced and it works much, much better!

Some Chinese vehicles are also doing well here, especially in our desert regions. GWM and JMC are the two brands that seems to last well, now Foton Tunland is making good inroads into the local market. Huawei already is a respected and trusted brand.

Not many people know this, but Toyota's Landcruiser 200 and about half of Landcruiser 70 series are built in China, same as S-Class Mercedes.
 
Helio everybody! I am new to android and I have a serious problem. How can I view history of wifi connected networks? What is the criteria of deletion in case of no avaliable history slots? Thks!
 
Welcome!

As you are new, of course you did not notice that this thread is not where help requests should be posted; it is for introductions only. I have no problem with what you have asked but some others may get offended. :)

What kind of problem are you having?

I don't think there is a specific limit to the number of WiFi networks that can be stored. My criteria for deleting them, is really the ones I'm never likely to use again. You can look at all the known WiFi networks the device's WiFi settings options, and then delete the ones you think you won't need again.
 
1. I want to see all the wifi networks that I had conected in the past. I looked in Wi-Fi sentting options in the phones but are not all that remember.
2. Didn't manually delete any of them, but do not see all, as some of them I mentally remember.
3. If there is a limited number of networks remembered, I want to know witch is the criteria of auto deletion: starting with the oldest one or other.
Thank you for efort of answering me!
