Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

When I am at work, I have full 4 bar 4G with no issues. But I also work close to Baltimore, which is a major 4G hub. When I am on my way home or at my house, signal gets progressively lower, and my house (which has never been a signal hotbed) is consistently 2 bar 1X, with some 3G spotted in. I haven't had one dropped call yet, but using Google Music is a pain at times.

In regards to the phone - I used Google Wallet to pay for a Slurpee yesterday. I giggled the whole time, then kick my heels on the way out the door.

With Google Wallet do you need to pre-pay the Google Card or will it automatically deduct from the credit card I have on file if a purchase goes over my pre-paid balance?

I haven't had a chance to go through the list yet but Getjar has 100 apps they giving away for free for a limited time. http://www.redmondpie.com/100-paid-a...ted-time-only/

Also, a new google+ app was released to the market yesterday that improves the messenger/huddle/hangout (whatever they're calling it now) with video chat. Pretty cool to be able to do that with a group of people.

Thanks. I was able to pick up quite a few freebies.

ICS is available for the Sensation!!!

Thinking about flashing, but it's still an early build.

You need to be rooted but there is an .apk here:

Some discussion on how safe it is however so use with caution.

Found a cool trick. If you install Widgetsoid from the market you can set up toggle widgets in the notification bar:

I've read several sources that said you DON'T have to be rooted.

Very cool. Thanks for that post.

You're correct and the link I posted actually confirms it. If you're in the US, it doesn't require root.

It definitely is. I was coming from using the 3GS as well. Now I use it as an Ipod and cant imagine going back to using that smaller screen on a full time basis.

I bought a case in Day 1. I don't really like it because the phone is so big as is. Without the case..the phone tends to feel a little slippery.
But I don't want to have the same problem that you just had so I'll stick with the case. Phone is too expensive to be getting dinged up so early.
