What are you going to do when Google infringes on your privacy starting March 1, 2012?

Q. Starting March 1, 2012, Google will be collecting data on everything you do on their websites and products. This includes Google search engine, Youtube, gMail, and all android phones.

Democracy and capitalism are failing because people are not participating in the system. People are complaining about corporate greed yet people keep using the products and services from the corporations they are complaining about. Knowing that Google will be infringing on your privacy, what are you going to do about it?

A. Not use google.
I totally agree with you, but this isn't much different then what other sites like facebook are doing. As far as they are concerned now a days anything you do related to or with their properties is their property. Even credit card companies are keeping track of the things you buy and selling it to other companies so they know their strong and weak marketing areas.
I can see the usefulness of the process but privacy much be an option. Say, if they give you a check box to store your preferred settings and such.

Q. I wonder that iphone 3sg has all good function but not zoom mode in camera. Which samsung galaxy Ace is good in all aspect but no zooming mode. Strange!!

I want all the features mentioned above so pls tell me which mobile phone will be good for me within my budget i.e. Rs. 10000 to 15000 (indian rupees)

What Mobile Phone would you reccomend for me?

Q. I want it with WIFI, qwerty keyboard and touch, possibly not too expensive

A. One word ANDROID. Anyone who says don't go android is insane. Also seeing on how you want a cheep phone. Androids are less expensive, the most phones and the come in a verity of QWERTY and touch screen. Not only that some even have overlays which allow ultimate social networking. Like Motoblur, HTC sense, or Timescape of Sony.

Not only that it has tons of apps approx 8000 being added every month and 80% of the apps are free of charge rather then Apple where only 40% are free.

These phones also have better possessors and come in more of a Verity of phones, where blackberry and iphone are, well they are just blackberry and iphone they don't change that often.

ok so ill give u a cheep phone on every carrier, cuz you never said which one you are on
AT&T- Moto BACKFLIP----- Verizon- Moto Devour ------Sprint- Samsung Intercept-------- T Mobile- Moto Cliq. My favorites would be Moto Droid and droid 2 on verizon the are more price but o so worth it :) anyways hope i helped Oh and all the moto phones i said have MOTOBLUR. the droids dont tho sadly :(

How is Boost Mobile's Unlimited Android Service?

Q. I send about 8000 texts a month(mostly to verizon but there plans are over my budget), and use about 1000 minutes for phone, and use hardly any data, i want to switch phone plans, and is boost mobile's unlimited android plan okay for me? I hear that unlimited is whatever boost considers unlimited. If boost is not a good option can you recommend any other unlimited everything plans? my budget is no more than 60$ a month.

A. I've been a Boostmobile customer for nearly 6 months now and haven't had problem . I have a Samsung Galaxy Android device and am on the Unlimited talk/text/web/internet data for $55 which is on their shrinkage plan. For every 6 on time payments the bill drops $5 until you reach as low as $35!
I can vouch that it Is Truly Unlimited, no throttling ect.
3g service is excellent and have never had a dropped call.
The Samsung Galaxy is a great device as well.
If you're considering this, make sure you check the 3g service area provided to ensure your location is included. Chances are,you are since Boostmobile uses the Sprint network, and recently have been expanding as well as improved 3g data speed within the next few months.
Bottom line is, after being a T-Mobile customer for approximately 6 years and owned 5 Samsung devices within this period. I was paying 3 times the bill amount for the plan and 2yr contract and didn't even have 3g access.
So giving Boostmobile a try so far has been the best move I've made in cellphone providers!
Also if you're wondering, No, it's Not a 2yr contact. But based on a pay-as-you go, but as mentioned the longer you stay, the less you pay!
And it doesn't cost anything to check it out! Either online or if you have a local Boostmobile retail store.

Q. I have the samsung intercept (which btw worst phone ever).........and I don't like the design of the motorola triumph so I'm holding out until vmusa gets better phones.

Is the iPhone 4 coming to Verizon in January 2011?

Q. Walmart told me that the iPhone 4 was coming to Verizon next year. Is this true?

A. Um no. These rumors come around every year, and every year, no Verizon iPhone. Just because there�s a rumor of a CDMA iPhone, everyone automatically assumes that it�s going to Verizon, as if Verizon has the only CDMA network in the world. Well, news flash- Sprint uses CDMA too, and so do over 40 other countries in the world. Verizon didnt want it when Apple came to them first back in 2006 and they dont want it now. Why would they, when any Android phone crushes the iDont any day of the week, and Android is already selling more phones than Apple anyways?? Plus, ATT knows that without the iPhone, they have nothing, so they will pay Apple as much as they want in order to keep it. Why would you ever want such a horrible phone?

Neither Verizon nor Apple have officially announced anything, so Walmart definitely has no idea what they're talking about...

Q. I am wanting to get a new phone for tmobile and can't decide between htchhd2 and the motorola cliq xt
which phone is better and which has better apps

A. The hd2 is a great phone but its windows mobile while the cliq is android. So the cliq has the better apps by far. You have access to over 30000 Apps while the windows mobile has only a couple hundred. The hd2 is a cool phone though with a giant display but the cliq also has the motoblur for social media integration. So I would get the cliq.

UPDATE they will not be upgrading the windows 6.x versions up to 7 like the other person said. They will be coming out with new ones that have windows 7.

what cell phone carriers will be getting the iphone?

Q. iv heard many people talking about this. that soon apple is going to make the iphone available to more carriers then just at&t.

does anyone know which carriers they will be to?
i realllly hope verizon will get a second chance at getting it! :)

A. First off keep in mind that each country has a different arrangement. Some countries don't even allow "exclusive" carriers in the first place. I can only speak for the US. Here Apple has just extended their exclusive agreement with AT&T for another 2 years meaning it ends in 2012. So nobody else is getting the iPhone before 2012. I doubt Verizon will get an iPhone, since their ads are saying how Android does everything it can't, Apple probably isn't too fond of Verizon right now. Verizon doesn't like the idea of handing control of the phone (OS, support, ect) over to Apple, which is why they turned Apple down originally. Regardless, as I said nobody besides AT&T will have the iPhone before 2012.

The rumors likely are from people mistaking the Apple netbook in development for Verizon's network as a Verizon iPhone (well that and people stating their "hopes" and "facts"). It's not a phone, so it doesn't break the AT&T contract. That is likely coming out in 2010.

And in response to the guy posting about jailbreaking, that will only allow the iPhone to run on other GSM networks (T-Mobile), it will not run on Verizon - ever. Verizon uses CDMA and thus it would require different hardware to run. Plus you loose access to official updates and support.

What are some fun apps and games for android?

Q. What are some fun FREE games and apps for an android phone? Also if you could, explain what they are.

A. There are lots of free games out there. Depending on what type you like to play...arcade, puzzle, racing. Being little more specific in your questions will help too. Try Angry Birds, you grab a bird, fling it across screen, and hope to land on the bad guys (pigs). Bubble Blast 2 is a puzzle game in which you burst bubbles to trigger a chain reaction in order to eliminate them. My kids like Raging Thunder, free and paid version. You can tilt you phone to steer...check out https://market.android.com/ you can view free and paid apps there.

Which Mobile brand of Andriod is best under 15k? & plz also sugget me model?

Q. I m from India & i have confusion among them...SamSung,Sony,Micromax!

A. Budget smartphones are a lot better than what they used to be a year ago. Today, you get the combination of a great OS along with good looks and decent power under the hood, giving you a phone with the ability to run almost all the apps from the app store.

The sub-Rs. 15k price point is still dominated by the Micromax, Karbonn and other budget names, but we also have Nokia, Samsung and Sony offering devices in this price bracket, increasing the competition.

Here, I list six phones that are great for this price bracket. These phones are listed in order of performance and specs.

1)Motorola Atrix 2 MB865 Rs. 16,499 (A bit more epensive than your suggested budget but is the best, within this price range)
2)Micromax A116 Canvas HD Rs. 15,990 (Its the best alternative of the #1, at a little less price)
3)Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 Rs. 14,499 (Consider this, if you are a hardcore gamer, but don't go for it you want a good looking phone)
4)Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16i Rs. 14,100
5)Nokia Lumia 620 Rs. 14,230
6)Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562 Rs. 12,900

Check out the comparision of the first 4 phones...
http://www.smartprix.com/mobiles/compare.php?ids=2057,2027,2544,2523

Hand yourself with the best phone available in the market, within the price range of about 25,000 rs.
Micromax A116 Canvas HD Rs. 15,990 at "FLIPKART".

in india motorola is better or android?

Q. im planning to buy new mobile with (3g or wifi)internet, zooming camera, bluetooth, infrared, radio, near about 64gb memory, memory extensibility , ease with pc connection (pentium.. os - windows) , reasonable rates and schemes for talk-time and sms. so which one i go for?

A. Um, most of the latest smartphones by Motorola runs on Android. So if you get a recent Motorola phone, most likely that it will be an Android phone. No mobile phones in the world (that I know of) comes with 64 GB of built-in memory. The largest I've seen is 32 GB. The chances of finding a phone with an Infrared is really low these days. All the latest Motorola Android phones comes with 3G and Wi-Fi. But from checking their website, none of the good Motorola Android phones are available in India. So, you should get a Samsung Galaxy S which is also another Android phone, but it's pretty good. Since I don't live in India, I can't help you with pricing.

Should I return my iPhone 5 and get some type of Android phone?

Q. My first iPhone 5 arrived with a scratch, and the second had sim card issues (even with a replacement card) and Wi-Fi problems. I wanted this phone mostly so I could continue to use my apps and purchase upcoming games. Getting an Android phone is tempting since I'm getting tired of Apple's quality control but I will no longer be able to use my games. What do you recommend doing?

A. If you're open to trying and exploring another platform then sure go ahead and get an android phone. A lot of apps that are in the app store are also available at google play. It does take some time getting used to if you switch so keep that in mind. And also, there's no perfect phone so you're going to experience some type of problem along the line with every phone.

If you do decide to switch, you can get that famous Samsung Galaxy S3, Motorola Razr Maxx HD or HTC One X.

You can go to a store and play with one of them the you decide.

What should i do? Buy a new iPod touch and a cheap phone, or an expensive smartphone?

Q. I really don't know what to do. I have been saving for a new iPod touch 32 GB 4th generation, but then my phone broke. I was looking around the web and found android phones. They look cool, can play some apps like iPod, is a phone and can watch films. Now they are fantastic but there expensive. I know apps will look better on the new retina display of the iPod, but the android phones are really good also. I only have 200 euro now and i can have a budget of about 300 euro (Price of iPod).
In the android phone i want:
WIFI
BIG HI RES TOUCH SCREEN
CAN PLAY APPS LIKE iPOD
PRE-PAY
WILL WORK ON IRISH NETWORK (O2, VODAFONE)

Now people are going to say the HTC Wildfire, but that cant play apps like iPod (im talkin about apps like asphalt)

Please give me advice, and an android model phone if possible! Thanks in advance!
If you look i said "In the android phone i want: PRE-PAY (Not bill pay) ... please know what you are saying is actually answering the question before!!

A. buy the ipod and cheap phone because with a smart phone, you have to pay the data plan and that is really expensive especially in the long run. Just think how much you'll be paying a year for data plan. So the ipod touch with a phone is way better. No data plan=success

How much does it cost to pay off a phone contract?

Q. I would like to pay off my phone contract, even though i just got a phone i dont really like it. Does anybody know of an Android phone that slides up AND is touch screen? Itd be nice if it was from verizon because verizon is my carrier. i have a blackberry curve 3g and i dont like it. does anybody know what i can do?

A. An ETF (Early Termination Fee is 350-375$)

It depends if you mean a Portrait sliding QWERTY board or a Landscape sliding QWERTY board.. and as of now there are none Landscape sliding QWERTY Android phones.

Devices with a sliding Keyboard that are running Android on Verizon are..
-Motorola Droid (NOT available through Verizon anymore, only Motorola Device using Stock Android (meaning a less laggy experience.. since it's not filled with Motorola's Clunky UI), Android 2.2.. maybe getting 2.3 (not likely though))
-Motorola Droid 2 (NOT available through Verizon anymore)
-Motorola Droid 2 Global (Best specced available KB Android.. 3.7 in screen, TFT LCD Display (800x480 res) 1.2ghz TI OMAP Processor, uses Motorola's MotoBLUR UI, which let's you have resizable widgets from them that may have some use to you.. not as intrusive as the MotoBLUR on the Devour, Android 2.2(?) (The processor clock-speed and the Global abilities are the differences between this and the Droid 2.)
-Motorola Devour (Don't pick this device.. run's an outdated version of Android.. (1.6 to be exact.. and worse specced)
-LG Ally (600 mhz Processor.. due for FroYo/currently on 2.1 (Android 2.2) soon/or has it.. run's LG's custom UI.)

Devices with a non-sliding Keyboard running Android on Verizon are..
-Droid Pro (3.2 in TFT LCD display (480x320 Res), 1Ghz TI OMAP Processor, Global possibilities like the Droid 2 Global, also uses MotoBLUR, Android 2.2)

A. You should format your phone. If you cannot format it or you have some important information stored in your phone memory then you should take it to the mobile repairing centre and ask them to fix it. Or you should try to recover you Gmail password and then unlock your phone as it is said in the above answer.

What are some fun apps and games for android?

Q. What are some fun FREE games and apps for an android phone? Also if you could, explain what they are.

A. There are lots of free games out there. Depending on what type you like to play...arcade, puzzle, racing. Being little more specific in your questions will help too. Try Angry Birds, you grab a bird, fling it across screen, and hope to land on the bad guys (pigs). Bubble Blast 2 is a puzzle game in which you burst bubbles to trigger a chain reaction in order to eliminate them. My kids like Raging Thunder, free and paid version. You can tilt you phone to steer...check out https://market.android.com/ you can view free and paid apps there.

Which is the Best Smartphone under Rs.30000?

Q. So I really like Windows Phones particularly Nokia Lumia 900. It is not yet available in the Indian Market. So what are the other smartphones would you recommend? I'm expecting below 30,000Rs.($538 - USD)

A. HTC One X with Beats Audio Unlocked GSM Android SmartPhone - (Grey) is the most fascinating cell phone I have ever used. I didn't encounter those problems and defects. The SLCD2 screen is spectacular with brilliant color and even some 3D feeling while I am using the phone. The browser is so fast and smooth with very good touch response. It provides me a great experience while surfing on the net. Furthermore, I also love the attractive appearance of One X. The HTC One X makes me say goodbye to my old Iphone 4s.

What are the upsides and downsides of getting an android phone?

Q. I have been looking at android phones and I'm thinking about getting one. Also if anyone has their phone on a virgin mobile plan please tell me if it is even worth it.

A. Android phones are great to have and fun to use. Downsides- most have average battery lives, and some have horrible (like 5 hours) but you can find one with good battery life. Also, they are pretty fragile so you might need a case if you are prone to dropping things. But there are a lot of upsides. They look nice, perform fast, and have fun and useful apps.

What are some realy good (current and new) android phones on the market?

Q. I have the samsung moment and it's a cool android phone but sprint's not giving out anymore updates for the phone that includes android 2.2 laving me stuck with 2.1. I just want to know what good android phones are out there that ppl actually have not those who articles say are realy good cuz i know things are different when you realy put the phone to the test.

A. I have had both the Evo4g and the Epic 4g. The evo is running 2.2 so it supports flash content when searching the web. The epic has a phenomenal screen but is currently still running 2.1 for the moment. Both are great phones if u like a bigger screen, use gps and email a lot and want faster phone updates the evo is better.
I prefer the epic though because of touchwiz, the iphone like layout, the slide out keyboard the super amelod screen and the way it handles media. I like the call quality on the epic too. 4g will work on both phones only depending on the area you are in, the 4g network is not country wide yet. I'm in the l.a area and only get the signal like 65 to 70 percent of the time.
Sprint is also about to release the kyocera echo. Looks really cool it has 2 touchscreens you can multitask one or slide together to make one big screen.
I prefer sprint phones because of the prices.

Plz suggest a good android smartphone around 8000 rs. ?

Q. also give ur review on samsung galaxy pop?? does it supports adobe flash player ??? can i watch live TV in it ???

A. The Samsung Galaxy Pop does support Flash, since it is shipped with Android 2.2 (Froyo) it is automatically Flash enabled. It looks like a fairly decent device, I would recommend you getting it. As for television, most likely, yes. You would most likely have to try and find an Application on the Android market that let's to do that. The device is 9000 RS no? Since the phone seems like the one of the lower end ones, I don't think you can get much lower with an Android powere device. I suggest you get the Samsung Galaxy Pop.

Thinking of buying a new radio. What does Garmin App Ready mean? In detail please.?

Q.

A. download to the radio and it will allow you to navigate using Garmin on the radio and getting the internet from your phone

Garmin® Navigator turns your Android phone iPhone into a personal GPS, with features from the nüvi® personal navigators from Garmin, the IFA 2012 �App of the year� winner and leading US provider of personal navigation devices. With no data charges on the Telstra network after downloading the app and no ads, Navigator includes free basic navigation with premium features requiring a subscription or day pass.
FREE features include:
- Driving and walking directions that track progress on a map
- Always up-to-date maps for Australia with millions of included points of interest
- Navigate to addresses in your Contacts


Apple�s mapping failure couldn�t have come at a better time for Garmin. With public transport options ready to go, Garmin have updated their Navigon app for iOS 6, complete with support for the iPhone 5�s taller 4 inch display. Garmin StreetPilot Onboard will also follow shortly with an iOS 6 update in the near future, complete with their alternative to Street View.

The public transport options include support for trains, trams, buses and water taxis, as well as Garmin�s new �Last Mile� feature, demonstrated at the IFA: consumer electronics trade show in Berlin earlier this month.

According to the Official Garmin Blog: �Users will be guided to a transit stop by foot and be able to look up detailed information on what line to take and where to get off. The new Last Mile function automatically saves the location of the user�s car when continuing by foot, making it easy to find it on the way back.�

Apple�s own mapping app provides links to third-party navigation and mapping apps to provide the missing public transport features. Garmin�s updated apps join the list of supported services, so you can jump from app to app as painlessly as currently possible. It�s not the ideal situation, but it�s currently the best option available until Apple�s native mapping experience is up to scratch.

It�s surprising that Apple didn�t choose to licence these features from the likes of Garmin in order to make their native mapping experience more feature complete, instead of delivering a half-baked app like they have this week. It�s possible that they may have tried and failed to partner with third-party mapping companies, although no rumours of such talks have ever leaked. Surely, Apple has some plans in the works other than to leave users wanting until Apple themselves catch up.

Based on the current negative attention iOS maps is attracting, Apple may be forced to strike a deal with a third-party to quickly bring the native experience up to parity with the competition. Google have already stated that they want to bring Google Maps to every possible platform, so it�s only a matter of time before we see an official Google Maps app in the iOS App Store. There have been rumours that Google already have an app awaiting approval from Apple, but this has not been officially confirmed.

Until Google or Apple bring a more complete mapping experience to the iOS ecosystem, it looks as though Garmin might be the best port of call for the time being.

Questions about the Samsung Galaxy Note?

Q. Okay I'm 14 and I really like that phone, I've compared it to the iPhone and I figured it would be better

But the problem is that my mom doesn't really like 2 year contracts, so she's always got my brother and I prepaid phones from walmart(I don't even want to use mine anymore)

So my questions are
1.How much does it cost with a 2 year contract
2.How much does it cost without a contract
3.What company's carry this phone


I'm hoping she would get it since she got me a 32G iPod and a prepaid phone that was nearly around 200 dollars(I never got use to it, because it confused me and til this day I don't now how to use it, the settings are just really hard to understand)

A. Hi there!
I just bought the Galaxy Note yesterday on a plan and its brilliant! I transferrd from an LG phone but all i have always used my family's Apple phones so i do indeed know the difference. Without going into too much detail, i will answer your questions for you!!

1. I got it on a plan (In Australia) but still it might be around the same price. Anyway i got a $75 dollar plan at Crazy Johns. That included TWO phones that were BRAND NEW from the market and they were both amazing. It also included $750 talk and data as well as around 4-5 GB of data per month. Not to mention unlimited text!
If it was just for the Galaxy Note, then i would of got the same deal except for $55 dollars per month.
Depends on where you live but usually plans like that are around the same price. Really amazing deal we did.

2. One of the shops we went to (Overall we went to: Vodaphone, Crazy Johns, Telstra, Optus, Virgin, TeleChoice, Allphones and a few more places) had it for under $600. I think he said it was $540 or so but thats AMAZINGLY CHEAP. Notes are usually around the same price of a Iphone, if not higher. They are almost always above 700-800 guaranteed. Thats why plans are much more better. You get them straight away with $0 upfront, you dont have to go out all the time to restock your credit etc. AND you can get just about any fine for a reasonable price.

3. In Australia where i live pretty much every shop stocks them. If not, then they will. This phone is hot on the market and every was googling at my phone when i showed them it. My entire family and a few other people (who used iphones) were incredibly jealous of me. They were practically cradling it the moment i showed them it. Here are the only people in Australia i know who stock them, not including ALL shops:Vodaphone, Crazy Johns, Telstra, Optus, Virgin, TeleChoice, Allphones, Samsung

Get this phone. Its brilliant and simple. It takes a moment or two to get used to whe you go from apple to Samsung but you WILL NOT REGRET IT! For Upcoming smartphones such as the Iphone 5, i cant tell you if it will be better or not. I DONT think they will have it BIGGER than the Galaxy Note but for the other specifications, i have no knowledge on.

I CANT EMPHASISE HOW GREAT THIS PHONE IS. STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AND GET IT.

Screen is incredible for gaming. Iphone FINALLY seems like a little girl compared to the Galaxy.

Definitely a WIN for Android/Samsung
