Just taken delivery of the XDA II (my first such device)
I travel around the world a lot and always used AOL on the laptop
to obtain free local connections to the net.
Is it possible to load AOL on to the XDA II and use?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
Does anybody know of a application that will let you connect to a exchange communicator company server, often refered as webim for exchange or office communicator standalone?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Not sure on this one... I would assume it would either mean your Exchange Sync would have to run all the time. As I am sure Office communicator bolts on to the AD / Exchange users..
I know this doesn't really help but could point someone in the right direction
Thanks for the input. Any more advice?

Does anyone know of a good torrent client that I could use on my phone?
EZTVDroid has one of its own, but I use tTorrent, which allows you to manage the torrent downloads directly to your SDCard. Hope you are on wifi or unlimited.
Ok i will check that one out. Atorrent doesn't work for things already on my sdcard and swarm kills my phone
I have wondered why anyone would want to use a torrent client on their phone. I personally use a remote torrent controller that controls utorrent on my pc named Transdroid. That way I can start downloads from my phone, and not bog it down or have Verizon question any high data usage.
I am not trying to say anyone is wrong for using a torrent client on their phone, I would just like to know why.

I kind of agree with you, the only reason I can think of is that they don't have an alternate Internet provider. The only other reason I can think of is that they don't have a PC and only use their phone (I had a GF like that once).
I know that I have spent a few weeks at a time away from home with no other Internet than my phone, so that is my guess.
I hadn't thought to use it to torrent though
Yes, you are right. It's two things, a "control issue" and a "pc thing".
My linux box does the majority of my torrents, but I also travel a lot and want slightly more control to manipulate the torrent on my phone itself, which is also transferable to my linux box when I get home

You can do what I do. I add/start/pause/etc. Torrents from my phone remotely using Transdroid and they download onto my computer which saves battery, data and more. Then if I am out of town and need something I torrented, I download it from the computer to my phone using my FTP server. It's really quick for smaller files and if I have a large amount, I let it transfer overnight when my phone is plugged in. Then you also have access to all files, not just those you torrented.

Perhaps someone should give this person links/options to "remote" versions since there is an alternate to what I use/do.

And an FTP server is easy as hell to set up and use and requires minimal CPU power.

TRANSDROID lol.
Gives remote access. We mentioned this more than once

I posted my second comment about someone suggesting something to that person at the same time you posted about the transdroid. They crossed each other in the ether world

Hey JMoney. I did some looking. There is a torrent client that allows you to download TO your phone. Its called Swarm Torrent Client. I costs $4.99 but I'm sure you can find the apk somewhere.

I use swarm on a daily basis, well worth the $5
I started using like, 3 days ago. Worth it, I'd say.

I actually did find swarm, but it caused my phone to reboot whenever I tried to start a torrent.
The reason I don't use something like transdroid is that my phone is currently my only Internet, as I tether to my computer to get Internet.
aDownloader (free in marketplace)
aDownloader is a native bit torrent (bittorrent) downloader for Android phones. You may search online torrent and or add torrent from local sdcard.
It is free in the marketplace but I cannot post a link due to the rules on XDA.

I no longer use swarm. Want my $ back as the dev has not updated the app to compete with new clients. It has a limited number of peers and VERY slow download rates. Not to mention a men leak that leaves ur phone really sluggish. TTorrent Full or adownloader are the two best at the moment. I recommended using torrentfu to remotely download to ur home PC instead.

I think this means you are allowed to carry your mobile into social events and not get charged for it!
but seriously, its probably you can access twitter, facebook, myspace etc for no charge?
i know that, but is it for the official app, friend stream ?

I can only assume that they look for facebook etc in the addresses that are being visited by the widgets or normal browser.
Took me 2 minutes to find the info on their website
http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpWls_SmartphoneCombo.page
(4) With select HSPA devices (excludes BlackBerry) within network coverage areas available from Bell Mobility in Canada. Includes basic features of select applications (included at time of purchase), browsing and use of content and services hosted directly by Facebook.com, Twitter.com and Myspace.com.

See now this is what I love seeing. A junior member that finds information in a jiffy!
I can confirm that unlimited social network with all Canadian carriers (Don't know about the other ones) includes any widgets connecting to social networks. Considering Friend stream uses the facebook authentification process and streams its information from facebook itself, you can surf all you want on it unlimited (Pictures, videos, etc.) but the minute you click on a facebook link, an external link, it goes through a regular data plan.
The unlimited social networking is a scam to me, really...
Yeah i mean really, I called bell twice and they couldn't even tell me. Thanks so much guys.

So I've got my 25$ credit burning a hole in my Google wallet, I've long ago spent my money on the paid versions of the apps I want and to the devs I want to support.
Since the time Google maps/navigation became nearly perfect I've always used that, now I have this amazing tablet that would make an amazing GPS! Just I'd like to have offline maps as it would be nice not to always tether it or per pick out my route in advance
I looked into copilot but not sure how good it is, mixed reviews not to mention like 4 different versions of nearly the same app on the market. Any one bothered much with offline GPS? Any recommendations?

Sygic is pretty good, I use it every day

I see its only a free trial in market, how much is the full maps for US? And is the only option to pay directly to sygic.com or can the full version be purchased via the app itself?

USA version cost $29.48 (at today's euro exchange rate) and can only be purchased via their website. This may suggest you may need to pay for each android device you intend to install this software. Maybe someone who already purchased this can chime in.

It seems the license can be bound only to one device at time. Look here:
https://support.sygic.com/sygic/topics/can_i_use_one_license_on_multiple_devices
However, you have up to 5 license transfers for free, look here:

Sygic is very good. A couple of years ago when I first purchased it was a little lacking but now it's awesome.

Hello, I'm currentling residing in Korea. I run a dedicated NAS server with the speed of 100mbps/100mbps both up and down.
I'm hoping to find someone located in the US who can provide me a VPN account. I sometimes miss watching US tvs but due to my work hours it isn't worth purchasing a commercial VPN service. I was wondering if someone who has their own NAS server up and running to exchange VPN accounts.
Anyone interested?
Maybe the vpn you use has not provided open port. Try this. Ive been using it for more than a year http://xtreamvpnworld.blogspot.com
