Android Phone Question?

admin    General     Android, phone, Question

Question by Aznable: Android Phone Question?
i have an LGP500 and recently found .apk files running around the web, i found out that you can copy and install this using your USB driver and manually install them in your phone after.

Question is: Are they safe? Can this phone be infected or is prone to scam-like things (like the uploader always knowing where they are) or will my personal passwords be sent to them, etc2x.

If im worried, then i should just stay away, right? Well, hope anybody can shed some light in this.. dilemma of some sort

Best answer:

Answer by Koox
Yes, you can do that. You can also just use your phone’s browser to download and install them directly, just check the “unknown sources” under settings > applications.

No one can tell if those .apk files are safe and you’re not being specific about the sites you’re getting them from. If you’re worried, just download those that are in the Market.

Question by John: IF YOU HAVE AN ANDROID PHONE..HOW DO YOU UPDATE IT TO THE LATEST ANDROID SOFTWARE? (2.1,2.1,etc.)?
I am about to buy my first android phone…motorola droid x…if it gets an update how do i update it? EVEN IF ITS NOT GOING TO UPDATE I STILL NEED TO KNOW HOW TO UPDATE ANDROID PHONES thanks

Best answer:

Answer by mark
If you have an android handset go to all programs then go to settings then go to about phone and at the top of the list is an option called system software updates,and a box marked “check now”.
By clicking on that box the phone will check if there is a relevant update for your phone. HOWEVER , if your phone is locked to a certain network, your updates might not be available for a considerable period of time in order to give the network extra time to fault test it thoroughly.

As far as I’m concerned this is the best argument in the world for never buying a locked handset Much better off with one thats sim free or not locked to a particualr carrier in the first place. I’ve got an HTC desire which I’m waiting to download Froyo(2.2) onto but I cant yet as Vodadone UK in their infinite wisdom havent released their version of it!!! Good Luck
