  3. Tire Question

    in Tech and Tips

    Posted

    So as I was going through my pre-ride routine this afternoon I saw something out of the ordinary in the grass near my bike. I found this:

    I know there's a correct term for it, but it escapes me right now. I was wondering what I should do to put it back on my rim or even what to do period.

    Thanks for the help!

    PS Sorry if I seem like a noob :(

    not to also mention it will void it's warranty. the phone folks know what to look for to see if the phone has been rooted or not. I asked the guy at the store when he was looking at mine when the ear speaker quit working. he said if I had rooted the phone and un rooted the phone there is a way he can tell. and I wouldn't be getting a replacement.

    http://forum.androidcentral.com/hacking/4654-what-does-rooting-your-phone-actually-mean.html (Link provides explanation of "rooting" asked by an android user on their forums)

    I believe that he's just trying to delete applications like "News and Weather" or "Stocks", for example, not trying to mess with the actual system (like changing the operating system) of the phone so I don't think the term "rooting" applies here. I think that there must be an easier way (and I had not problem with doing this) that you can add personal ring tones for people and add multiple email accounts.. but maybe I'm missing something :-s

    Paying for apps. When you buy a app how are you paying for it?

    Is it billed to your phone bill??

    There are a lot of free apps out there that are way better than the ones you pay for. Make sure you read all the reviews on the app before taking the plunge and paying for it. If you do' date=' however, decide to pay for an app then it DOES show up on your phone bill.

    Antivirus app? Good idea? Bad idea? Saw a free one from AVG.

    AVG is always good but I use "Lookout Mobile Security" antivirus and anti-theft app (you register your phone with the website and if it ever gets "jacked" you can make the phone "scream" to freak out the thief) and it's FREE

    Removing preinstalled apps. Is it even possible? For the life of me I

    can't seem to figure out how to remove a app that came with the phone.

    There are a bunch that came preloaded that I will never use' date=' I'd like to remove them.[/quote']

    For my phone (Driod incredible) I go into Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications

    ________

    Here's some FREE apps that I recommend you download

    -Advanced Task Killer Free : You check off the applications you aren't using and it frees up "memory space" to make the battery last longer

    -Adao Uninstaller Pro: Helps get apps you installed from the market place off your phone completely and quickly

    Battery Widget : (by geekyouup) a widget that allows you to SEE how much battery you have left that's shown in a percentage, allows you to turn down the display brightness quicker and allows you to turn off Wifi, Blue tooth, and GPS if you are not using them.
