speed up my system option

[Dray]

First wanta say thanks for a superb forum, glad i found you guys/gals. Picked up a fascinate on september the 10th and have struggled to find affection for it after hugging an iphone for two years.... This site, may very well save the relationship, lol....So on to my question.. When i plug my phone into my pc(windows 7) and the box of options pop up, i see "speed up my system"...I dont like to click things that i dont know what they do, and it sounds like some form of overclocking?......Yep, I guess i look stupid now.....but hey, what if pressing that option set in motion a change of events that bring about armageddon??, then you ALL would be more than happy to blame me, LOL....so in closing.....any help or answer would be greatly appreciated........Any ideas if the fascinate will ever work for watching live espn?..etc.?... thank you for a great group of people and a great looking site.........Dray

P.S. for the gamers out there, the curling game that is free, is a really well made app, and a pretty decent game , vs. the android or two player.

I'm guess this is what you're talking about:

Using memory in your storage device to speed up your computer

Read through that article.

Absolutely!, thank you very much. Great article, and very informative......again, thank you

You're welcome. As far as the ESPN question goes, the only thing I've seen is Vcast videos. Now, that's not saying you can't watch it any other way, I've just not really looked into it. I am doing so now in light of you post, so if I have any info in that regard, I'll let you know.

I have a slingbox (and the slingbox app) which allows me to watch anything on my satellite receiver/dvr wherever I have a signal... Definitely not the cheapest route, but works for me

To watch live ESPN, or any stream really, just download the "Skyfire" browser from the apps store (it supports flash). After you have installed the browser, open it up and google search justin tv sports and click on the first link. The most popular games will be on the first page that opens up. You will see many videos, click on the one you want. After clicking on the video a little black screen will pop up in the bottom left-hand side of the screen (if it does not, click the "page" softkey and you will be able to select video). Once you have clicked on the black screen, it will buffer, then begin playing. I recommend selecting the videos with an "HQ" in the upper right portion of the videos.

KH29.........that is AWESOME my friend....lol......it worked like a charm, following your post directions had a game playing live in under 3 minutes, thank you, hope someday i can offer up something to you.........maybe a first born or something of equal value, lol....peace

 

[KH29]

This works without root? Im on my fascinate unrooted and cant get it to work. Hmmmm

 

[Cory Streater]

If you're talking about Skyfire, it does not require root.

I mean the actual playing of the video, it states that its flash right? But theres no flash till froyo correct?

No, the Skyfire browser supports flash.

ya it worked for me theoneuafter.. took me a minute to figure out tho, that the browser will load a small video box, you have to touch the center to play what you picked to watch, then it will go full screen, hope that helps....trying it out yesterday, it was about 3 seconds behind a live game on tv at my home, not bad.
