Ive been using Swype for text input and its actually growing on me (plus I can still type regularly if I want without having to change an option).
I just took a dremel to the standard dock's insert to fit my Atrix w/ Feather. It fits taking off the insert, but there is no support in the back and the entire weight of the phone placed on one microUSB port is a little unnerving. They have an insert that is supposed to be used with Motorola's Ruggidized Battery cover that would likely fit cases without mod, Im trying to find someone selling just the insert.

I like swype, but I have issues with it on my phone. It likes to die after a few days, and it either needs to be reinstalled or the phone needs to be power cycled to reset the software.

I like swype, but it can't be used one handed easily so sucks for usability. brilliant for speed when you do have both hands though.

Could someone please explain to me how I'd go about upgrading my Samsung Galaxy (3) Apollo from Android 2.1 to 2.2, I'm a real noob in this department
![]() EDIT: Just found this out...Samsung sued by Apple -- Galaxy S, Nexus S, Galaxy Tab at the crux [Update: more from Apple] Don't know if it's been posted around before so sorry about that, if so.

Techtu, are you worried about warranties, or being without a phone if you go with a custom rom and bork something? If you are a risk taker (DO IT, DO IT!!), then try a cooked rom from xda. i just totally wasted my galaxy s with what seemed to be an impossible situation---wrong file system(s) that the bootloader couldn't access...imagine putting a hard drive from a mac into a dell..well i was scared, but i fixed it...don't let these things stop you, unless you can't live (or others can't live) without your phone...
ROOT! ROOOT! oh, update on the gtab...i was mistaken about the web. unbeknownst to be, flash scroll bars dont show up/not usable. found this while on dlink site looking up info on my router... bummer Last edited by 1freedude; Apr 23, 2011 at 03:47 AM. |

@ 1freedude -I have a couple of spare phones, so I'd never be without one
and I am sometimes a bit of a risk taker but I am still somewhat worried that I'd "bork" it up some how! (When I've had the phone a few more months I feel I'll be alot more daring with it).What I don't understand though is if Froyo is officially out for the Samsung Galaxy Apollo (3) in other parts of Europe and the world then why isn't it realised here in the UK just yet?

The good thing about these phones is that they are very very hard to brick. Just as long as you make a nandroid back-up of your current rom before flashing a new one & don't bork your recovery everything will go ok. |

I have some good news guys!!!!
http://www.knowyourmobile.com/blog/8...ne_in_may.html 2.3 on all LG Optimus phones! I own a LG optimus one and its a great phone, I've rooted it and gotten the cpu overclock very high 800mhz and got something like 1200 on quadrant!! Well thats about to get even better. LG announced 2.3 to be released by mid-end of may on the whole Optimus line. This means better coding, less resource use, less lag and better gaming! Awesome!

From a brief search and looking, all of the custom roms I found were old and either 2.1 or 2.2. Nothing close to being GB due to the release date.

I just got an email from Verison saying that an update was coming for my phone, and I had to download an updater app to prepare for it. The update is not available yet. Hopefully it's 2.3...

So, i have a predicament here. My current phone has a bug of which when you touch the screen during 3d games the cpu usage goes up to 100% and gives some fps hit. Now currently there is a fix for that on 2.2 which involves rooting my phone and putting a kernel/ coding, but 2.3 is going to be released on my phone within a month and the bug SHOULD be fixed.
What would you do? |
