Android phone discussion

The HERO is where its at. Get TASK KILLER to manage your apps for battery life

when you root it do it make your net faster? also im having problems proppin multiple post on this bitch. could be a problem for some of you

It doesnt nessecarly make the net faster, although some users have reported faster speeds, all rooting really does is give you access to custom ROMS and all functions of the phone.
Certain custom roms will be 50x faster though cause most of the unwanted apps that take a lot of room will be off cause the developer felt it wasnt nessecary to have that app

Rooting the droid

Theres a video to show how you do it as well.

Task Killers are bad for your phone, If i was you..I'd uninstall that shit..

I seriously can't fucking WAIT! I'm getting that NexusOne in like 2 weeks! I'm bout to be rootin right along wit ya'll!

so taskkillers is bad why? Its not needed if i root though right

Taskkillers isnt needed on Android phones. they arent windows phones. If anything taskkillers hurt your phone by slowing it down.

exactly...that's why i refuse to use a task killer...

really? i was told that after your using an app sometimes it stays open, so you use taskkiller to shut down the app. so the app is a phony?!

When you root the phone use superuser to remove that annoying task that keeps popping up and slowing everything down. There is no way to "Kill tasks" on the android OS

i luv my G1

Certain ones like the camera will drain the battery though.
I used to just click home and back and itll give me a list of the recent 5 that are running.. then I just clicked back and they appeared to be gone.
Less you have root access to the phone you wont really be able to "close" out of apps. Trust everything I say people I developed a few apps and games for this platform and a task mangager was one I was trying to work on after the first one was made.

What is rooting?

go have a look in i candy. that should answer your question.

when is the next iphone software update suppose to come out..?
