Q. I have just bought my first Android mobile and just wondered about a symbol at the top of the screen. It is a G and with an up and down arrow that flash green and orange. It doesn't appear all the time. I just wondered what it meant and was just checking it wasn't costing me anything as I am on pay as you go. Cheers for any help.
A. internet symbol. It isn't using any data it is simply telling you you have 3g reception in that area. Its really quite harmless and normal but if you really don't like you can go to settings. Then wireless and networks. Then mobile networks. Then uncheck 3g data to remove the arrows. And simply recheck it if you plan on using internet. But I would just leave it alone its fine how it is.
What Does Rooting An Andriod Do? Can You Change Fonts And Stuff Just Like An iPhone?
Q. Basically I'm deciding Whether or not to go back to androids after having an iphone. I personally love HTC phones, but I was just wondering because I LOVE the fact that after jailbreaking my phone I can change the font, the icons, battery symbols, and carrier info! So for an andriod can you do the same after you root it or no? Whats so great about rooting it?
A. What is "Rooting?"
The Android phone that you have learned to love and enjoy is running an operating system that was designed for commercial and private use. Like most any operating system, several features have been disabled, either for future use or to prevent the casual user from causing permanent damage to the operating system. "Rooting" is the process in which the limitations are removed and full-access is allowed. Once rooted, the Android phone owner will have more control over many settings, features and performance of their phone. Basically, "rooting" means to get to the root of the operating system and to have the ability to make global changes.
"Rooting" your Android phone does afford you numerous benefits, including:
Running special applications-Superuser is an app that can only be run on a rooted Android phone. This allows you to control which apps have access to the "root" system. Another popular application that "rooting" affords is the ability to tether a computer to your Android phone so that the computer can access the Internet using the phone's data connection. Another program can allow your Android to be used as a WiFi Hotspot without having to pay your provider for the feature.
Freeing up memory-When you install an app on your phone, it is stored on the phone's memory. "Rooting" allows you to move installed applications to your SD card, thus freeing up system memory for additional files or apps.
Custom ROM's-This is the most powerful feature of "rooted" phones. There are hundreds of custom ROM's that can do anything from speeding up the processing speed of your phone to changing the entire look and feel of your phone.
The answer to your question is:
Overall rooting will let you do all of the thing you wanted to do and much more.

Does anyone know what an inverted triangle with a 3 in the center means?
Q. Someone said they saw this tattooed on the inside of someone's arm and wondered about it. I have no idea. Anyone?
A. A plastic recycling classification, perhaps? :-? I.e., something specifying the type of plastic so that it can be recycled with other objects made of the same type.
(edit: ah, didn't notice the tattoo. I don't suppose that would be it, then, unless he's either an android constructed of plastic, or very, very VERY enthusiastic about recycling ;-) In that case, it sounds like a trinity symbol - though which deities it is intended to symbolize can only really be known by the tattoo's wearer)
