Thanks for the info. It is really a good idea to install a anti virus app. With more & more people using their phones reather than a computer, allot of crooks out there want to tap into your personal info. I've been using lookout for about 6 month & its seems to be working well.

I've been using Lookout for awhile and this reminds me why I shouldn't uninstall it.

Is Lookout better than AVG?
Swyped on my VooDoo'd Mez from the XDA App

I think they stay updated a little more than avg does. And it deffinatley has some good features. Also I noticed lookout seems to be easier on the phones resources and stuff. But in the end it is really up to the end user to decide what's best.

I been using Lookout for quite awhile now and think it is really good app. I like many of the extra features it has like finding your phone using GPS if you lose it. It can even turn your phones GPS on if it was was off. This can all be done from your PC with your online Lookout acct. I've never used AVG but I'm sure it also a good app. If something works I just stick with it and Lookout has done just that.

+1 for Lookout
I agree about Lookout - plus it's cross-platform, which I found to be a great resource when I was upgrading to my Mesmerize. My last phone was a Motorola Q with Windows Mobile and I was running Lookout on it - I actually transferred my contacts with Lookout with one or two clicks when I upgraded.

Order & Chaos for Infuse

Has anyone successfully installed Order & Chaos on the Infuse? Seeing as the Infuse is such a close cousin to the Galaxy S phones and most of those phones officially support O&C, it seems like it should work fine on the Infuse but I haven't seen any threads about it.

it appears to be one of those high quality game loft games. they code games for the hardware and they may check the build.prop for compatability, so even a compatible device might not play the game if they havent added the device to there supported list. if it is in the market it may work if it is gameloft website only you may need to register the phone number and claim what carrier you have, they haven't really been supporting att devices for some reason, i didnt have much success downloading there games by anyones instruction but others claim it works. good luck, let us know your results!
i hate that they have all the checks because anyone with root and chianfire 3d can run games for other chipsets just fine. why not detect the gpu and cpu and have one universal install that has coding for several different api's? would it make the game that much bigger?

lol @ WoW
dude you werent kidding! look at the screenshots..
*shakes head*

Yeah, it basically is WoW for your phone. I've been playing it for a couple of months on an old iPhone 3GS, an HTC Inspire and on my ASUS Transformer. If an MMORPG is your cup of tea, I can't recommend Order and Chaos enough.
Anywho, Order & Chaos is not officially supported on the Transformer but I was able to get it to work by rooting it, downloading the game cache manually, and using Titanium Backup to install an "all devices" version of the game. I haven't rooted the Infuse yet and I was hoping there would be a way to install Order & Chaos without rooting but it sounds like rooting might be the only way.

If you're up to try it, follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159975
Download the cache file referenced there and unzip it to /gameloft/games . Then PM me your email address and I'll send you the download link to the Titanium Backup backup of the game (I would post it here but I think it's considered warez). Then you unpack the TiBu backup to /TitaniumBackup , open TiBu, and restore the game from there.
Edit: I should mention that I don't know of this will actually work on the Infuse but this is how it worked on the Transformer.

with branding and market keys you won't see every app. use http://market.android.com to see all the apps. apps will push to the phone, or you can get the site from the phone if you change the useragent in the browser.

It is incompatible with the Infuse. I was looking at it yesterday and the market through the browser said it was a no go. I was disappointed, honestly.

It's not officially supported, but it works just fine. I don't understand why Gameloft does this with some of their games - they make their games available only for specific devices - but Order & Chaos definitely works with the Infuse. Use the .apk that zeus408 provided (I think it was the 9th post in this thread).

Downloaded and plays fine on my infuse but wont download on my buddies motorolla droid. I used the same apk as I did on my phone.

Weird, just downloaded this on my work pc, then e-mailed it to my gmail. In the e-mail, next to the attachment, when viewing on my phone, there is an "Install" button right there in the e-mail, which acted just like .apk installer. Is that a feature of APK installer, or what? Either way, that's pretty damn cool...

Downloaded it before this thread was made.. fantastic app!
I also highly recommend the Amazon Free App Notifier. It's 99c but well worth every penny for the free apps it reminds you about.

Why would you pay 99 cents for an app that reminds you to check the Amazon app store daily? If you are that forgetful just put a shortcut on your home screen. Lol

It's a pretty nice clean reminder in the status bar, shows name, info, normal price, and so on. You can set what time of day it reminds you, too.
My homescreens are completely minimal with no app shortcuts, so I wouldn't be able to tolerate looking at an ugly icon

I read somewhere someone called samsung and confirmed, I've also held it along side a droid x, an incredible, and an evo 3D and the glass feels the same.
I rocked it without a screen protector for awhile with keys in my pocket and never got those tiny scratches other phones get. I use a protector now because i can still be scratched by a grain of sand, (sand= unfinished glass)

It came in today. The hinge for the screen seem quite sturdy.
Next question:
As a geek I have never really considered what a first time smartphone user would want by way of apps. I have on my short list:
1 lookout
2 rhapsody (I have an acct.)
3 zedge

5 juice defender

no fm radio but u can use iheartradio to support raido stations and btw the music can be streamed (uses data ALOt) and it cna be toggled to download only via wifi and or select only certain songs out of your album

I would skip on the juice defender apps, they take up more resources than they save. Get the amazon marketplace cuz there's a free paid app every day, if you got cable there are apps to turn your phone into a remote (comcast or direct tv) definitely get an alternative browser like opera mini or firefox and set it as main. Qik video chat, pandora, that's all I can think of off the top of my head

Were can I get the apk for that market place
