    Is there a method on an unrooted Android phone to save the apps, settings and media for a restore from stock? This would be similar to what itunes allows for iphones. This is not a question about saving or restoring firmware, just the apps/settings/media. Also most of my app are free and...

    One of the wireless networks I use has a class B public network with a 6 bit network mask. The Vibrant ignores the net mask and tries to connect to anything on the whole class B directly, instead of using the gateway. As far as I can tell it does get the correct subnet mask from dhcp, but...
