2) can i preload maps (Nigeria) on it such that i wont av to connect to the internet everytime i want to access it?

3) is the juice defender app really effective in increasin battery life of androids generally? Or its just a slight increment?

4) do i just go for a nokia e5 instead Or d LG p500(android 2.2)? Or what android fone will u recommend wt a 25-28k budget??

only a person who has used the phone itself can tell you this reliably.

but from experience, i'd say no.

it actually depends on what you mean by fairly constant browsing. 12 hours of browsing? 5 hours? 9 hours?

NB: even a laptop wont go 12 hours straight browsing so

then again battery life depends on so many other factors.
for one if you are going to be on stock ROM, its not likely to be good. a "good" custom ROM with custom radio firmware is the place to start

there are also additional things you can do for extended battery life

2) can i preload maps (Nigeria) on it such that i wont av to connect to the internet everytime i want to access it?

seems this is the new catch phrase for FUD here now. answer from google itself: http://www.google.com/mobile/maps/

NO!! task killers and so called battery apps actually do more harm than good.

its a free world. it may turn out you may be much more comfortable with the e5.

as for the p500 well, from me id say no. because the only result from that will be that you will come back here to start posting useless threads on how bad android is when as a matter of fact you are using an underpowered phone with rubbish specs and 3 years old android version!

@4LLERBUNTU.....

the lin k you provided is to download the google maps adroid programme..this will still gobble up some airtime/network tarrif...what i/we are asking for is the raw apk file to install directly on the fone ...i finally got it from plunder.......
thanks for all ur help

Samsung Galaxy S3 coming soon...I can't wait

has anyone come across an app that turns the hotspot on andriod phone into a billing hotspot router?

I don't know,,this app claims it will use your screen as a solar panel and charge your phone.

edoyad: I don't know,,this app claims it will use your screen as a solar panel and charge your phone.

What's the name?A similar app just came up for Symbian devices.

Android is a best and today very popular mobile operating system for mobile. Android is a best operating system because it has so many features and Android developers are using some latest tools and technology like Sun’s Java Development Kit, Software Developer Kit, Eclipse IDE etc to make it more powerful.

edoyad: I don't know,,this app claims it will use your screen as a solar panel and charge your phone.

That app does NOT work properly, after downloading app, it replicates charge sequence but it drains your battery !!!!!

Its Called Solar Charge, but i didn't get it from the Market

You have me confused, you said it works properly then contradict by saying it drains my battery.

dude, i dont know what to say, cos really this has far reaching implications on the IQ levels

of course the damn thing is a practical joke, like an april fool kind of thing, how on hell can u take it seriously?

so u honestly think every app does what the dev claims it does? LWKMD

You mean say the rubbish na hoax app? Reminds me of that Finger print reading app for impressing friends.

Andro Blaze: If you want the camera to start working again revert back to your old OS- simple. But if you do want to use ur phone Twhich you refused to tell us the make) with gingerbread, give us more details eg. The type of your phone, the model, if the gingerbread OS you flashed on it is custom or from the manufacturer and lastly if the OS you flashed on it is for the SPECIFIC model of your phone and not and not that of a lower or higher model frrm the same manufacturer.

I don't think I'll like to go back to os 1.6,
I use a sony ericsson xperai x10 and I flashed it with its own specific os and its not from d manufacturer cos I tried using its pc suite to upgrade it but it failed so I had to google how I could upgrade it myself and answers came and I followed d procedure given by downloading d files which I used for d flashing,I don't know much about d android thingy though,thanks In advance for ur help.

Sorry, omitted NOT !!!!!

4llerbuntu:

sometimes i dont know which to think about you, you either like trolling for the fun of it, or by nature you are an hypochondriac.
either way its even more annoying when you do it based on stuff thats plainly not true

google maps on android started supporting offline caching of maps since version 5 since 2010 thereabouts. so its either the version on your fone is a donkey years old or you are plainly lying.

the option clearly has "download area map" in it so?

'download area map' only caches like a 2 mile radius from your current location, if i'm not mistaken. And you need a data connection (or wifi) on the phone to download.

With Nokia maps (or Garmin or Sygic) you can load up entire countries/continents and never have to re-download map tiles on the go.

going by his "needs" as expressed it is sufficient. thanks for letting us know about nokia

there is official gingerbread for the x10 and it works fully.

which rom did u flash precisely? the only ROMS for the x10 that dont have functional camera are the cyanogen ROMS. and even at that cyanogen 7 now has fully functional camera, only CM9 does not have. change your custom ROM

BTW most of the Roms around now need you to unlock your bootloader but that is now very easy to do using the Flashtool.

the xda board is the place to go, im sure your needs will be met

worse part is I don't know wat rom I used ,I know noting abt android

do u have a screenshot app?

if u do, pu it on, go to settings>about phone take a screenie and post it here

the name of the ROM will definitely be posted there




or else

just tell me the following things u see there

Baseband version:

Kernel version:

Build Number:

4llerbuntu: FURTHER EDIT.

turns out when i put in my sim, turned off data and tried it again it successfully completed the emulating 3g part, so hopefully im using my office LAN as my data connection
make e no be say na my precious data i dey rock.



anyway,as a tip for my fellow android rockers, get a bb, use airtel u shocked.
let me break it down for u, before it used to be that u could use ur airtel bb data elsewhere, but they blocked it.
[b]either they have opened it back [/b]or i stumbled on the way to unlock it again.

so now i use a rundown bb (has to be urs or when u subscribe they will migrate ur accts onto the poor victim's bb) to subscribe and put the sim in my android. 1gb for 1,400 naira pronto.

if it does not work, get onto that plan that gives u 10mb per week free or try those trial thingies and get data other than the 1 gb. it should then start working.


just feeling nice today. my easter gift to y'all

OMG! Take one guess, what am i browsing with right now? I didn't have to even do all those complicated stuff you mentioned. 1 whole giglomo for 1k4 .

That seems a long process. He should just Google on the specification of his phone.

Chop knuckle jor
I hope you can manage it 'cos android taught me a big lesson in my first month.Now I know better.

smh

all4naija: That seems a long process. He should just Google on the specification of his phone.

as usual you will jump into a convo that does not concern you without even taking time to read. did u even see the beginning of the convo? since when does flashing a custom rom become part of the phone's specifications?

u think pple on NL are fools who like wasting their time? smh

Just saw some Japanese android phones today and the specs are literally x2 of all we get in Europe, America or anywhere else.

12-16 Megapixel with 1080p recording
Dual core
720-1080p HD screens
Waterproof and dustproof as standard plus takes pics and videos underwater!
TV
A single phone supports micro sd and sdhc
MHL

Dude, are you drunk? I don't need to explain anything to you if you are that so silly.This is the last time I would visit this thread!
