Okay well I tried my hardest to see if there was a thread made for Android dedicated discussions, so sorry if there already is one. :P



DISCUSS!

TristanG_ said: Try and get a different rom that isn't using Optus @Guyver.
That is what I have done with my phone. I don't have anymore pre-installed Optus applications. Only the Optus My Account one which I downloaded from the Market on it's own.
I am not sure if it will void the warranty. The firmware I have been updating too are official samsung releases so I don't think it should. The custom binary counter in download mode for me has not increased once.



Thanks mate I think you've given me the motivation to finally change the ROM in this phone. Might chuck ICS on it unless some one suggests something better.
Once you learn to do it, you'll never stop updating again. :P

If you end up doing it your phone will be cleared of everything on it, so be warned.

Not my widgets! :E
Downloaded DailyComix and that's pretty handy for killing time. It links you to all the popular web comics.
it annoys me that things that are standard in other phone OSs aren't standard in android

like a stop watch and a countdown timer
Mine has those :O

They're under clock for me.
so gald to be off my android and onto laptop...

btw WHERES THE MMGN IPHONE AND ANDROID MARKET APP?!?! [Rage]
Brother's friend give me an LG phone today running 1.5 that he wants me to find some sort of way to make faster. Man this phone defines terrible.
Apple MMGN? [Facepalm]

why is android discussion on mmgn apple?
MWC announced heaps of quad core devices..... but I keep hearing that they're not much if an improvement to justify a purchase over the current dual core devices because a lot of them were rushed in production? What do you guys think? Worth the wait? Because I was thinking of upgrading to a Gnex soon...

Time to stop taking pictures of your private parts with your phone www.gizmodo.com.au/...
Apps have gotten a little bigger www.engadget.com/...


edit:
Looks like Galaxy S and S2 owners might be getting ICS on the 15th www.techspot.com/... depending on provider. Guess companies like Optus want to make sure that all their bloatware is loaded up onto the ROM first [Rage]
Lol well vodafone still haven't officially released the ICS update to their Nexus S's which is meant to be the first phone to get the update. So you could be worse off guyver. :P [Rage]
Don't know what is going on these last couple of days but my Galaxy S2 has restarted it's self a few times, any idea what could cause this?
I have an android phone now *_*

So they still haven't fixed the battery problem? Thats pretty bad considering they released it in december last year. @_@

Welcome! *_*

What phone did you get?

And you guys heard about the Android market, music, books and movies being all rebranded with Google Play in their names?

Nothing07 said: I have an android phone now


Deets!
When I opened the market it told me about google play. It has begun.
EDIT: It removed the market shortcut from my homescreen. The app is now called "Play Shop"
I got a Motorola RAZR.
Since Google bought Motorola they are pushing out ICS to the RAZR in Q2.

Only problem with the phone is the battery life is a bit shit. :S
