    Great Free App.

    I used it and found 6 wifi signals in range of my house. 4 of them were competing for channel 4 so I switched our u-verse box to channel 10 and improved our speed a little bit. Then I tried sitting in various places in the house, to see what the signal is like. I was amazed at how much...

    Game mode task killer?

    Is there an app for suspending active processes while playing a game? Some battery saver apps try to kill all processes and end up using more battery by constantly killing apps that insist on running. For example Pandora wants to be running even when I am not listening to it. What legitimate...

    Has anyone been brave enough to try it yet? Any issues? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Android Central Forums

    Att on lock screen and status bar

    Isn't the ATT symbol telling you that you are on the att network? I seem to recall seeing the Telus logo there when I was travelling to Canada. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Android Central Forums

    What will ICS really get us?

    I am reluctant to flash my phone as I depend on it. If I soft brick it, then I have to go back to the att store. My tablet is a toy so if it is unstable or down for a few days, it isn't the end of the world. A new browser isn't enough of a reason to go to all that trouble. I am happy to wait...

    What will ICS really get us?

    I recently purchased an Android A10 based tablet. It is a pure (rooted) ICS machine. After flashing new roms, it is a fairly snappy machine. It is a single core 1 ghz machine so the quadrant score is only a third of my Skyrocket. However in regular use, the performance is about the same. I am...

    Eken A90 tablet info?

    The tablet arrived today. So far I am impressed with the quality of the build and the responsiveness of the screen. I am totally new to ICS so I am not sure what things are due to ICS and what is due to this supposedly rooted tablet. The tablet has Google Play but when I search for the facebook...

    7" 4g Tablet as Phone

    Interesting idea but it would seem to me that would be combining the worst features of both worlds. I only surf the Web on my phone when I am unable to get to a laptop or desktop. For me, the lack of a real keyboard and mouse make the phone a poor choice for Internet access. A poor choice is...

    Eken A90 tablet info?

    Does anyone know anything about the Eken A90 tablet? At $155 for a 1.5 ghz machine with 16 gig storage and ICS standard, it seems to be a good deal. Obviously it isn't an iPad, but seems like a good deal. I ordered one from www.android-sale.com It is coming out of Hong Kong, but they accept...

    Temp simple card?

    I am in Canada visiting family for about a month and hate paying the ridiculous per minute prices from AT&T. If I were to get my phone unlocked and use a pay-as-you-go sim card, would that be a problem when I got back home? Is there an easier solution that I am missing? The cheapest disposable...

    MHL to HDMI adapter problem

    I received a replacement for free but the same thing happened as the first one. I just bought a PNY branded mhl adapter and there is no picture with this one either. Has anyone got the PNY one to work? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Android Central Forums

    Official Galaxy II S LTE out but nothing from AT& T?

    I read the official Samsung ICS LTE update is out. Does this mean that AT& T will be pushing it out imminently? Or do we have to wait some random amount of time for AT&T to decide to get around to it? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Android Central Forums

    Are we ever getting ICS?

    Has ATT& T forgotten about us? :( Are we ever getting ICS???

    MHL to HDMI adapter problem

    I tried the adapter on a third tv and this time it would flash but no picture. I contacted the seller and they are sending me a replacement.

    MHL to HDMI adapter problem

    I just received the HDMI adapter from HandHelditems.com. It was purchased through Amazon. The documentation clearly states that it works with the Skyrocket. I hooked it up as per the instructions, including the separate power via the charger. The phone recognizes the charging function but...
