QUOTE(polarzbearz @ Jun 5 2011, 03:20 PM) To check the current version: Go to AppDrawer > Setting > About phone > Software Information You can refer to here to see some of the suggested or recommended apps by our users..  Finally, welcome to DHD family!  Thanks for your suggestion.  Added on June 5, 2011, 10:52 pmQUOTE(rockmaniac85 @ Jun 5 2011, 03:31 PM) Must have application, you just go around opening all the Android phone thread, one by one and see their list...  Normally front page of all threads inside Android can find many application  Thanks.  Maybe i should ask, if you were to buy another Android phone, what Apps you will install mainly?

Is press the top button the only way to lock and unlock the phone? Added on June 9, 2011, 4:40 pmQUOTE(WiLyi @ Jun 9 2011, 03:37 PM) Most of the app can set their update / refresh interval in their own setting menu. Else you can go to Setting --> Accounts --> then from here click Add Account But i already disable Auto-Sync?? Still I am able to receive message and email in no time.

QUOTE(TwoJay @ Jun 12 2011, 03:42 PM) It isn't available from out market. You can search on the internet for the Skype .apk file and transfer it to your phone and then install it Or if your phone is rooted, you can use this app called 'MarketEnabler' to emulate a US Sim and download it from their market. How about Nimbuzz/Fring?

QUOTE(TwoJay @ Jun 12 2011, 04:12 PM) You'll have to use a file browser. Try ES File Explorer, that's what I use. Before you can install the .apk, you have to enable installation of non-market apps. Go to Settings/Applications and tick the 'Unknown Sources' option. Then use the file browser to open the .apk. OMG, there is no way to access file in memory by default? need to install app to enable that? :S Added on June 12, 2011, 4:19 pm1 more question, i have all my contact copied to phone from sim card, now it is showing both in my phone, how to enable only 1?

QUOTE(syuki @ Jun 12 2011, 04:46 PM) Flash like you flash rom. But make sure after you already flashed rom, do reboot phone first and go back to CWM to flash add-ons. Stock rom memang like that, no proper exit button that you can tap. It's either you tap "Home" button or just tap "Back" until it goes back to Home Screen. But, if u were to tap home, the application will still running in back groud right? i think android purposely did that to increase that data usage because everytime when u click back, the previous page will reload again, (same way the remove Skype application in market) I have the same Opera installed in my nokia phone previously, when i tap on setting, there is an exit button, same application but for android, they removed the button. :S

QUOTE(syuki @ Jun 12 2011, 05:01 PM) @ryoko2505 @khalpowers If me, I prefer 7zip. FTW.  Easy to drag drop files. @eugenecctan I donno about that as I didn't prefer stock browser or else. I prefer Dolphin browser, got proper Exit button also. FTW.  Added on June 12, 2011, 5:04 pm@WiLyi In that case, why don't you flash TB Fusion. Gooding also.  Cannot la bro, all Seo's components are applicable for Sense 2.1 based only. If you flash that, no wonder some certain apps will revert back to Sense 2.1 Thanks for that info, I will install Dolphin Browser rather than Opera.
