pretty obvious when you have music playing?

Well, my apple shit could survive a week with music constantly playing, so...

It's funny because in Australian slang to root is to have sex

tempted to flash RazrX on my Droid Razr...looks so sexy

[QUOTE=jlj1;33921120]It's funny because in Australian slang to root is to have sex[/QUOTE] "the root of all evil" just got a new meaning.

Are you on a custom rom?

stock kl3, rooted.

Stock samsung roms can be strange. You'd be better going on a custom rom, but if you really don't want to, you could check for an update with Kies.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;33921944]stock kl3, rooted.[/QUOTE] Try flashing a different kernel, such as speedmod

[QUOTE=Wolfyhound;33922189]Try flashing a different kernel, such as speedmod[/QUOTE] i don't think the note has this yet. also there's no aosp roms just yet. however we will be getting cm9

aren't you worried that CM9 devs might have (serious) trouble getting the S-Pen to work correctly? I mean what would you use to express rage without the pen?

Hey guys. Complete new guy to the mobile phone industry. I have a sim card on Giffgaff (cheap ass network) So its cheaper for me to get an unlocked cell phone. I want an android phone primairly as my mates have one and use an app to send messages for free and its easier to keep in contact with friends who live abroad. Am I better to hold out till January for a phone as a friend of mine suggested alot of contracts are renewed so the prices will drop after this month. Anyway- looking to spend £200 max any suggestions ?

Samsung said they'll reconsider releasing ICS for SGS and Samsung Galaxy Player

if i give giffgaff a us address can i get a sim card?

[QUOTE=TehWhale;33923394]if i give giffgaff a us address can i get a sim card?[/QUOTE] You could try it, doubt it would work.

[QUOTE=roflcakes;33917614] Roflcake's recommendations These are all very functional apps and there's not much razzle dazzle but it should be enough to get you all started. Looks like the original thread has fallen off the back of the forum, here's the new(-ish) one: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1130647[/url][/QUOTE] Now on the thread: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1130647[/url]

[QUOTE=iCole;33923256]aren't you worried that CM9 devs might have (serious) trouble getting the S-Pen to work correctly? I mean what would you use to express rage without the pen?[/QUOTE] Nope, they already have it working.

[QUOTE=Xhidelex;33915657]Guys why does my data network mode on my SGSII keeps activating by it self even tho I disabled it?[/QUOTE] An app might turn it on as it probably has the permissions to do so. See which app(s) have the permissions to turn on your data.

Wow. The speed difference between stock and the overcome rom is massive..

[QUOTE=Khaos-23;33913381]Can I get ICS for my S2? If so, is it worth it?[/QUOTE] [url]http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/12/20/ice-cream-sandwich-coming-to-sgs2-note-q1-2012/[/url] Yup

What are some must have apps?

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;33919272]poweramp is really awesome[/QUOTE] I know it is, but an alternative would be RealPlayer Beta [url]https://market.android.com/details?id=com.real.RealPlayer[/url] Sure it's in Beta and hasn't been updated in like almost 2 months but it just works for me. It's just that there are some glitches like with the widget. Aside from that, it's awesome. And you can change/pause your music while in lock screen.

[QUOTE=TehWhale;33923394]if i give giffgaff a us address can i get a sim card?[/QUOTE] If you get anything at all it'll probably be an angry letter from the USPS / Royal Mail demanding that you pay import duty, unpaid postage, and the admin fee
