Ok, I've got the phone rooted and installed ROM Manager, but when I try to flash a new ROM on to the phone, it reboots and gives me a silhouette of the phone, along with an exclamation mark in a red triangle. What am I doing wrong? I don't have access to the power button on the phone, as its...

I think there's some additional drivers you need to download to get it to work. Poke around in some of the stickied threads in this forum, as the directions are there, I'm sure.

If you're rooted, there should be an app in your app drawer titled "Superuser." The icon will be of the android bug, wearing an eye patch.

First thing you want to do is to make sure that you are running the latest release of Android for your phone. (Go to Settings>About phone>Software information). You should have version 2.2.2. If not, then you need to have the phone flashed with the latest release. If you are on 2.2.2, then...

Oooh, I didn't realize that AT&T permanently blacklisted phones. Thanks for that, and I'll check Craigslist as well.

Thanks. It looks like they both might be a wee bit north of my price range, but its possible I could luck up and get a refurb for a price I could afford.

Silly me, I thought that a forum dedicated to Android phones would have people familiar with the devices who'd be willing to offer advice based on their experience. That way I'd have at least some idea of how to narrow my search down, since there's quite literally dozens of different Android...

Which models? Which models work on AT&T only? Which models are designed to work on T-Mobile, but will work on AT&T? Which models are junk? Which models are a good value? Which models are easy to root? Which models are impossible to root? If I could easily answer those questions by looking...

Okay, so I cracked the screen on my Aria phone and because I'm in the middle of my contract, I can't easily trade up to a new phone, and if I cancel my service, I'm stuck with an ETF and no phone. I've ordered a digitizer and will attempt to do a DIY screen replacement. If that fails, I'm...

Thanks, but I've been through all the advice on the boards and I can't get it to work, so until someone is willing to go step-by-step, in minute detail, with me on how to root the phone, I'm not even going to bother making any more attempts. I'm sure that my problem is some stupid setting...

wantabe, your solution only works if you're able to root your phone. I don't know about the OP, but I've not been able to root my phone for some reason, and when I've asked for help on these boards to figure out what I'm doing wrong, I've gotten exactly zero replies.

An update. I slightly fubar'd mine today. I installed a couple of apps via the method linked to above for putting the Android Market on the tablet. It ran fine, until the lock screen came on, then it crashed, rebooted, took forever to complete the reboot process, got to the lock screen, sat...

While not specifically for this particular tablet, these instructions should work as they work on other Coby tablets just fine.

I picked up one today, and so far, here's the downsides I've been able to discover: 1. It can be a bit sluggish at times. 2. It doesn't charge via USB 3. Its pretty easy to knock the charging cable out of the tablet 4. The installed appstore is GetJar, which is a pain to find anything in, IMHO...

No word on if the Aria has it as yet or not. Apparently, if you've got a rooted phone, the problem is easy to fix (and nonexistent if you're running something like a Cyanagen Mod). Any bets on when a patch for this is going to be released and when AT&T will be arsed on making it available to...
