And what is a rectangle sir ? Is it not a geometry ? Rectangle , Square, Circle....

So ho many people are ready to grab a Nexus Tablet ? I think it is going to retail in 12-15K range here. I am getting on day one. I think they should release 2 nexus tablets, 7 Inch and 10 Inch.

I meant that Metro UI Primarily Consists of Rectangle Elements Only.:|

Great....I cant use ICS as the camera bug is not yet rectified. So waiting for that

I think you missed my previous post. Camera is working fine in latest release. That was the main reason I jumped to ICS. :)
PS: I don't know about your hand set, so can't recommend you to update to ICS. :p

Is it necessary to install Antivirus in Android?
Click to expand...

Absolutely not necessary. As long as you are not sticking your head in grey areas like installing directly from a .apk file instead of Android market, and be careful on browser (like you do on a PC), you can't be infected by a virus.
That being said, if you have a faster proccy (like >1GHz) then an Antivirus wont hurt. (It will provide you a "satisfaction" if nothing else :p).


PS: I use my XP SP3 on my PC too without any kind of antivirus. And havn't been infected from Biruses since a year now. I just make sure to be extra careful. :cool:

I still need help with that space problem. Deleted 2 apps of 5 mb today and all space I freed up in Internal memory was 1 mb. Why so? What to do?

It's as if like installing apps in Android is a crime :mad:

Guys one of my family members has a SGS2 and it seems to hang often when we try to access Camera to take photos. Could this be a normal thing or something need to check?
Also can I update this to ICS.

Opening Camera might take time. Also new SgS 2 phones will ship with ICS afaik
But older ones will need to wait a bit more for it.

can PC antivirus scan .apk file viruses?
any of the TDF Android users have found viruses?
Click to expand...

1. You dont need AV on Android or any other mobile phone OS
2. Just dont install junk apps which has no ratings/reviews.
3. If you are installing an .APK make sure its from trusted source.

That should answer all your queries.

99% of my friends use Android and i have not heard anyone complaining about virus or phone behaving in unusual manner because of any virus. :cool:

Once my old Symbian was infected by a virus ComWarrior. It gave me a whole lot of trouble. phone keeps on restarting and send Bluetooth pairing request to nearby phones and those who accept, gets infected. Took me 1 week. Many antiviruses just detected it but not disinfect. Till I got a piece of software "ComWarrior Defender" which cleaned my phone.

Rather getting Xperia U, I suggest you to get One V.
And now you should decide whether you want a tab or a phone.
I suggest you to get a phone.

Just for fun? Get a tablet. Don't know why aroraanant suggested a phone, which is 10k expensive . Funbook seems ok. The problems are minor .
I think you should get a used/2nd hand iPad .
