New Android Forum opens covering all Android Phones!

Friday, January 21st, 2011

As you may be aware AllGooglePhones.com part of a family of Android discussion forums and blogs. Our family of sites try to cover all phones and all skill levels to offer users an easy place to have fun and enjoy their phones while getting help and learning things they may have never even thought they would want to know. Our main goal is to provide a friendly, fun and educational community to like-minded individuals who have a common passion. Today marks a great milestone on this journey of ours with the introduction of Android.net.

Android.net grew out of our desire to launch a website to cover Android phones worldwide under one roof. We will continue to start and run device (and network) specific sites but we also felt that many of our more rabid users wanted a general Android site as well. Android.net fills that need.

We would like to invite you to be one of the first members on the site. Since this site is brand new we have some exciting features available to members who are first to register. We realize that some users just love having low Member ID’s… so if your quick, you can register your account and secure your low Member ID #. Even better then that though is a feature we are really excited about… an @android.net email account.

When you register on the site you are able to create a unique email address and forward all mail to that address to your existing email account. You can pick your own username but pick wisely as you will not be able to change it. In addition the names are available on a first come, first served basis.

Another feature that is available on the site are Android.net hosted ROMS, Themes and Media Files. We have seen a glaring hole in hosting available to the community. We aim to be the largest (and free) Android hosting service around. If your a developer, themer or just want to share ringtones with our members then we can arrange our Downloads area to host your files. We are not requiring registrations for members to download files so it should be a great way for you to get your work out to the masses without having to use some of the more troublesome free hosting providers. Please contact an Admin to be moved into the proper usergroup to be able to upload files to the site.

With that said, we would love to have you as a member on our site. To register you can click this link: Register at Android Forum – Android Phone Forum – To visit the site, simply click here:Android Forum – Android Phone Forum

Thanks for your time and thanks for being a member! If you are as excited as us and want to share a link with your friends we would greatly appreciate it!

Verizon Droid X Froyo Update Now Available

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

The wait for Verizon Droid X customers is over as the much anticipated Android 2.2 (aka Froyo) update has finally arrived. If the notification regarding the availability of the update hasn’t popped up on your handset status bar, you can do a manual check.

Droid X owners have been eagerly awaiting this OTA upgrade which is packed with several performance improvements (Flash Player 10.1, Automatic App Updates) and bug fixes (3G Mobile Hotspot App, Google Maps).

In the past, several HTC Droid Incredible users have reported performance glitches after they upgraded to Froyo so it will be interesting to see if it fares any better with Droid X devices.

To trigger a manual update on your Droid X handset, choose Settings -> About Phone -> System Updated menu option. If you face any issues during the OTA upgrade, refer to DroidForums.net or DroidXForums.com for help!

Verizon Android Phone with WiFi Tethering!

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Verizon-Wireless-Android-Together

Take that stingy AT&T and iPhone users!

Verizon Wireless is known for having the best network, which most of its customers would agree, will have an Android phone early 2010. Verizon users will soon have a bit of a one-up, when one of the three new Android phones coming to Verizon will have WiFi Tethering out of the box.

This is a big deal for Verizon because it shows that they are not too worried about not having the iPhone any time soon.

It will be interesting to see how Verizon handles this “open development”. Theoretically shouldn’t care what’s being developed, but it will be interesting to see whether the Verizon throws any marketing weight and retail support behind the device or if it will be left to fight for attention on its own.

Stream Live Video With uStream

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

uStream-android-phone

Even though the Android app store is far from the giant iTunes, some software is better on the former because of Apple’s third-party developer limitations. One such app is the new uStream for Android, which can broadcast live video to the web. The uStream app allows you to stream video directly to the uStream.tv site via 3G or WiFi, or alternatively record higher quality video offline for uploading later.

Additional features include support for GPS location, embedded chat with users watching the stream on the uStream site and Twitter integration.

The Android version of Ustream seems to work great and according to a few test results, it only has a lag time of three seconds over 3G.
