QUOTE(herojack41 @ May 19 2011, 11:08 PM) hi guys...i hav a simple question...does a android 3.0 honeycomb device able to run those 2.2 and 2.3 apps? Backwards compatibility is a feature of the Linux OS on which Android is based. Unless we get 32/64 bits processors on our phones, then I would not sprout white hairs worrying about it.

I'm not proficient on processor architecture, but isn't Android an ARM platform?
Anyway, the problem you see by installing apps not made for tablets is that the UI is not made for the huge screen real estate. Like let's say the twitter app, on the Xoom it will look enlarged with a lot of unused space. It's not stretched, the font size is still the same and the app still fills the screen. Just that the boxes become larger and thus having a lot of empty space. Until devs make tablet-specific versions of the app, you'll need to live with that.

Then you select a pic for wallpaper, the orange box come out. Drag one of it's edges until the box fills the picture. Tap save.

there's an app for it. Android doesn't support VCard natively. Here's one featured on XDA sometime ago: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/shar...-android-phone/

guys. i have situation. it concerns my Motorola Charm. I bought it from Brightstar set. Very new.
The problem sets up when the keypad light * which is blue * never stops lighting up. Usually, it stops lighting when I lock the phone. But it still doesnt stop.
It decreases my battery.
I somehow think it s technical problem. I want to exchange it but how?
