Q. Alright, I just got my new One X Android phone yesterday. When I go to my 'running apps' page or task manager, it says I have apps open that I've never even touched before.
Does anyone know why it's doing this? Is it a malfunction or is it supposed to do that?
Thanks!

A. The running apps list is more of a service list, like hitting control-shift-esc in Windows. The phone (dialer) itself is considered an app. The market (Play Store) checks for updates in the background, so it's running behind the scenes. Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc., all have apps running in the background. Gmail could be syncing your email account, checking for new emails, etc. If you have a desktop widget, that app is running in the background to get the information for the widget.
These are all supposed to be happening. Many apps are set to start automatically when the phone starts, and/or run again once closed for these reasons.
Most phones have "junk" apps that the cell carrier installs that will do the same thing- for example, NFL Mobile for Verizon. You can remove these apps by clicking on them in the installed app list and clicking Uninstall in the upper right. If you have a newer phone with ICS (go to Settings > About Phone and see if the OS version is 4.0.something or higher), you can also click on other apps and choose to uninstall updates and then disable the apps; this will prevent them from running.

A. Ok... So... To the first question:
a) About the keyboard in latest phones.... Well that is definitely a tough one! But there are still a few options available. These are some of them that are relatively up to date... ( I interpreted an up to date phone (android) as one that is running on android Ice cream sandwich 4.0.x or higher with a fair hardware power) :
- Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330:

- Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II I415:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_stratosphere_ii_i415-5124.php
- LG Mach LS860:
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_mach_ls860-5032.php
- Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE

second:
b) Yes, android phones can be ROOTED (root = jailbreak for android, to make it simple), BUT you don't need to root your phone in order to be able to download *free* apps ( *cough google search for "alternatives to google play store" cough *).
third:
You won't be able to use data connection in a phone if you are not paying for that service to some carrier.
In order to be able to use any SIM card in your phone ( from different carriers) your phone has to be carrier unlocked, means that you did not buy it subsidized by any carrier via a contract. If your phone is carrier locked, you can still root it to unlock it or sometimes the carriers will let you pay some fee for them to unlock it via IMEI .
Hope this was helpfull! sorry if I didn't explain myself vastly but I'm in a hurry hehe! Good luck finding your phone!
