Galaxy S is upgraded to Version 2.3.3
Today, I found there is an upgrade package for Galaxy S and the package is installed successfully. Now, my phone is Android 2.3.3! That is much faster and more stable. I don't know why the bible app in my phone has crashed a number of times last week. But after I installed the upgrade, so far, that is good.
In addition, that is a new app in the package. This is the "Downloads" App. You can view the files downloaded from Internet via this app. You don't need to go "Internet" and then go "Downloads" from your browser's menu. It saves you a few clicks!
To summarize, I think the upgrade is worth to install. My phone is much faster now!
Acer Iconia is updated
I had Galaxy S near a year. There is one things I don't like. Samsung doesn't release upgrade very frequently. On other hand, last week I bought Acer Iconia. Today, I found there is a upgrade, now is Android 3.0.1(I can't remember whether that is before too.). I guess that is easy to do. Iconia doesn't have the level of customization as Galaxy S. Moreover, it did the upgrade via wifi. I don't need to connect a PC, that is great.
(P.S. Sorry about the photo quality. I still cannot get Iconia to connect the SDK for Screen Shot. So, I took a photo for setting screen instead. )
Please re-think before you remove your SIM card from Galaxy S
Yesterday, I removed my SIM card from my Galaxy S. And then I turned it on. So that, I can use it as a wifi device only. After I did some tasks, I plugged back the SIM card into the phone. Then I had a problem. The user data are gone! I did debug on my phone. I found SQLite database are gone!!!!! As a result, I have to uninstall apps and install them again! This is the only way to make those apps work again! So poor. So, please re-think before you remove your sim card from Galaxy S. That may be a problem which is unique in my phone, but you should be still cautious about that!
Create your Android - Androidify
I found there is a program ,Androidify, to create you own android character. This is very fun! You can make the character tall or short, fat or slim by using your fingers. Moreover, you choose the clothes, shoes ,hair style and skin tone too! That is very interesting. Lastly, you can post your character to facebook!
Android 3.0 SDK Hands-on
I got some free time to play Android 3.0 today. That is an Android for "tablet"! The default screen size is WXGA (1280×768). That is tablet. Anyway, the interface is much cleaner. Moreover, I found the browser is different. Now, that 100% looks like a Desktop Chrome. One last things I picked up, that emulator is much slower than the older version!
