One important thing – I want an app where I can read business/finance news in a friendly format. I have seen the apps of TOI and ET but just wanted to know if there is any other app which is better in terms of performance and quality of news flow. Of course free apps would be preferred. |

Another important thing – suppose I create a new contact – I am asked to select the type of contact i.e. Phone, SIM or Google. I select Google and create a contact. Now is the Google database automatically updated or do I manually need to update my Google contacts (do I need to enable some option for this or click any button?) |

Signature verification fails when it's a bad download buddy. There's no problem except for the flashy yellow triangle on boot and it is an evident sign to Samsung that you did something illegal with your phone should you have to go to the service centre. |

| Google Nexus is a line of mobile devices using the Android operating system produced by Google in conjunction with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partner. Devices in the Nexus series do not have manufacturer or wireless carrier modifications to Android (such as custom graphical user interfaces), and have an unlockable bootloader to allow further development and end-user modification. Nexus devices are the first Android devices to receive updates to the operating system. |

Those are some really cool looking cases. Where did you purchase them from? |

IMHO, don worry about the 149 rupees, worst things could have happened. Even if the kernel says its safe, its always better to do from Step1. |

I think the vast majority of us Android users are in the same boat! Even htc is now accepting this practice by allowing an 'official' way of unlocking the bootloader. Unlocking, jailbreaking, whatever the name is happens to be very popular! |

Thanks guys, finally relief. Got the triangle away app and now the triangle is gone. Indeed sir. Samsung is selling millions of phones and most of the people Ive seen are using the stock rom. Only a handful of us are rooting let alone modifying. So I really find it funny when its termed "illegal" as we arent doing anything like that. |

I think there's a strong reason why it is not acceptable to the companies. Can you imagine every android phone user having root access, trying to flash stuff with half baked information, ending with bricks and swarming the service centres claiming warranty? |

I think its overblown nonsense. Companies like HTC allow you to do as you deem fit - you can unlock the bootloader, a painful 15-20 step procedure. The firmware has certain NAND memory settings that once unlocked, even if u relock it, it says RELOCKED and not LOCKED. So technology allows them to satisfy user requirements. Lastly, its like a car - I bought a device, paid a fat bundle to use it. Now it is my darned wish to tune the ECU, swap out the suspension or chop the boot if I so deem fit. This is not USA where the contract stipulations can be bypassed (some try to charge for tethering access etc), and hence rooting a contract phone is illegal. Hence illegal is not really valid in India. |

One issue with an htc Bootloader Unlock - it will not allow you to run .zip files. Of course no big issue since most of us run the CWM Recovery. However, this Recoverywill have to be force loaded and does not install by itself, so must be forced in through the fastboot recovery <filename> route. When the old AlphaRevX or Revolutionary routes was on this was not an issue. |
