I currently have a Samsung Vibrant and I'm thinking of getting an Android based tablet soon. If I use the same Google account on my tablet that I am using on my phone, will I be able to use all of the same apps that I have already purchased without having to buy them again?
As long as they are compatible with the version of android os on the tablet, yes.

Does any Google Nexus S phone running AOSP Android reboot on its own like some Motorola Android phones do, or shut off unexpectedly like some Motorola Bionic phones do?
I am trying to determine if it is an underlying problem with Android, or if it is something Motorola might have introduced, or if it might be a hardware problem.
The Google Nexus S looked like a good reference phone to compare with.

Not any phones without significant issues (running a stock AOSP rom)

No problems here. It probably has to do with the fact Motorola phones requires hacked together roms because you cannot flash custom kernels.

Motorola phones reboot on their own because they can't take custom kernels?? Is the stock kernel the culprit? Under Froyo, my DroidX would reboot when connected via USB. There is reason to believe that a running app that resided on the SD card was not yielding to the unmount request, and the phone had to force a reboot as a last ditch effort to get the app to release the SD card to be mounted by the PC.
I also found this thread about the Nexus S: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...y-phone-randomly-rebooting-every-5mins-d.html

My stock unrooted Nexus S has rebooted itself a handful of times (3 or 4) in the 7 months or so that I've had it.

Thanks Matt! That would indicate the problem might be with Android and not something Motorola did.

I have recently purchased this tablet from Amazon as a Christmas present for my parents. The problem the Android software in based in Chinese. I am not able to download any of the "American" apps. I have tried going directly to the Android Market website to download the apps but a noticed popped up saying I cannot download it in China, apparently the tablet thinks it is in China. Is there a way to flash the tablet with an U.S. version of 2.2 (froyo)?
Search the market for market enabler or like.

Galaxy S III [SPH-L710] What do you think?
When you root it or flash a new ROM does it give you portable wireless hot spot?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
Yes
if you root your phone, you can get tethering on it
But do you get the hot spot app or setting? You know in Android 2.1 on the unlocked versions you get a setting to create a portable hot spot. Do you get this in ICS on the unlocked ROMs or after root with apps? I do not want to tether with a usb cable I want to create a hot spot so up to 8 devices can connect to my phone.

Yes, just download the app wifi tether for root users

I was wondering if anyone knew of the latest or best phone that has the greatest ROM rooting following at the moment greater than the Galaxy Nexus?
I have a Galaxy Nexus right now and its great but I am just bored with it. I would like to upgrade. The only problem is that I use [GNEX TOOLKIT V11.1.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, Recovery, Flash + MORE [SPRINT] which is the best tool around.
I was wondering if there are tools like this or better for other newer phones that I may upgrade to or should I just stay with my Nexus for while?

Hey guys,
I recently purchased my Droid ultra and I'm loving it. The only thing is that every time I hit software update it tells me that there's no software update available.
As you can see I'm probably on the version of the software that came out of the box.
I know that on Nexus phones you could force the update by going to setting and clearing cache of Google services framework. Is there a similar way to force an update on this device?
Stock / not rooted
Thanks for your help guys.
Ps. I'm on straight talk... Dunno if this makes a difference or not.
