    Please recommend 8" Tab with 4:3 Aspect Ration

    Hi all, I have a Nexus 10, which works wonderfully. I am also somewhat invested in the Google Apps eco-system. However, I find that reading books - particularly PDFs - are a bit of a problem primarily because of the screen orientation. The other thing is that I usually have a longish...

    Need some (phone- buying) advice

    Hi all... I have been in the market for a phone - Android, of course - for sometime now. My plans were thrown off gear by Google what with their releasing of first the Nexus 4 and then the Nexus 10 tablet. In my scheme of things, a tablet is more important so I bought the N10. But my phone -...

    Hi All, I was wondering if you could help me out on this EZ PDF reading problem that I am having. I just bought it from the Play Store after reading the good ratings and reviews. I like it. No questions about the fact that there are a lot of customizations. However, it crashes very...

    About Chrome and the Nexus 10

    Hi all... I have been using both for a while now - well, since the N10 was release and I got one for myself. In addition to Chrome, I also use - only to try though - Dolphin (Jetpack) and Boat. The latter seem quite fast etc. The question I have, however, is about Chrome. Is it true that...

    transfering files from sd card to ext. sd card

    Hello... As the title says, I was trying to move 10 large video files from the internal SD card to the external SD card. At the 4th file, it appears to be stuck at 29%. I have waited for over 30 mins, but there is no movement. How can I stop the move/ kill the process and either restart or...

    Advise on buying Tablet

    Hello: I have the Acer A500, which was recently OTA updated to ICS. While my experience with the A500 has been good, I feel it is a bit heavy (given that I move around a lot) and the screen has too much of a glare which prevents me from reading out in the open. I have also found that there...

    phone recommendation

    Hello.... A friend and I are switching jobs and it so happens that we need to get phone WITHOUT a camera.....apparently some security-related issue. Can you folks recommend a phone with this constraint? Our budget is around US$ 500-600 each. We do have the option to go with a BB. I don't...

    Recommend Facebook app

    Hi... Quick question: Which is the best Facebook app in the market (for tablets)? The reviews I read of the FB app don't seem too encouraging. Currently, I access FB via the browser, but sometimes it proves to be more than a bit inconvenient. Thanks

    Using Android (mostly tabs) for work

    Hello.... How do you use your Android device for work? When I say 'device' I am thinking about tablets, but if you use your phone, then please include that too. What do I mean by work? Here is what I had in mind: Email l'd consider as work, but playing Angry Birds or any game is not work...

    Phone + Tab combine

    Hello... After about a year of intensive use of Android devices - a phone and a tab - I have been considering my upgrade options, which I expect to exercise in a few months. My initial intro to Android was through a Samsung Galaxy Fit. It is a barebones smart phone (but it has been...

    Anti Mosquito App

    Hi... I was looking around the market and came across quite a few anti-mosquito apps. Interesting idea actually - emitting a sound wave that the mosquitoes can't deal with. One thing that I found strange is that in the permissions part, the app wanted full access to contacts. Contacts? Why?

    Restoring deleted Home screens - SOLVED

    Hello: I have a Samsung Galaxy Fit - low-end but hardy phone it's turned out to be. Recently it received an update to GB 2.3.6. I noticed a couple of subtle changes - mostly for the good. The phone had 7 screen (of which I use only 4). So today I deleted some of the blank screens. It was a...

    Bluetooth and impact on battery

    Hello, I just found an old though yet unopened portable Bluetooth KB...originally it came with my Palm Treo. Assuming the KB works, does extensive use of BT drain the battery? And can I use two BT devices at the same time - the KB and maybe a set of headphones? Thanks EDIT:Forgot to add that...

    Hello: I was looking in the market for the Google Book Reader app (for my A500 tab). Could not find it. But when I searched through Google, I found that it was listed in the market - but within the browser. When I try to install the app from the market (in the browser), I get a spinning...

    Phone Heating up

    Hi... While technically this should go into the forum for the Samsung Galaxy Fit (GT 5670), but I thought this may be a more suitable place for my question. But mods, if you think fit, please move into the appropriate forum. Also, I have checked some of the threads dealing with phones heating...

    Quest. about the Gmail App

    Hi... I have an Android phone and a tablet. This question is about the tablet (Acer A500). I live on Gmail and I personally think that the Gmail app for Android tabs is very good. The only thing I find odd is that I can't seem to apply themes to the app - like what one can do to the online...
