Almost positive that can happen on any phone. (Even the iPhone) Only if someone takes the time to do it though

of course this is possible. All you have to do to prevent this is look at the permissions the program requires.

So many of the "kiddies" today simply don't understand the meaning of stealing, or theft.

Because it is included with the price of that phone and licensed to that phone only . If you buy a PC with Windows 7 pre installed, it is stealing to to take the boot disks if they are included, and install Win 7 on another machine.
Same here !

Transformer Location...
The Micro card has both Transformer Movies on it & there are
"core programs" on it as well which are needed to make the HD2 work properly, so if you take out the card some programs will not work which is why we are told not to take the card out. Depending upon your expertice you will know what you can do with the card & what (& if needed or want) you can do regarding the card.
Good movies I enjoyed them both.

I looked at it as in came in the phone, just like 6.5 did and people where putting it on their phones before it was supposed to. Part of a phone.

it came with the TMOUS phones, and they are "liscensed" only for those phones, hence posting would be considered illegal.
Please post the encoding settings once you've analyzed it. Have done a plethora of different encodes, but still haven't found the optimal values.

Thanks for your response
Not to double post but core programs & the movie's on the card are part of the phone OS therefore removing would be classified as illegal. I learned this from a TMO Tech a few nights ago in my search to understand properly, including the small sizes of towers & their locations & where they can go & the waiting time of 40 days before TMO will unl..k your phone for you. (Including the negativity of UMA ).

If this is warez, then so are ROMs and all the HTC programs that are freely distributed here.Those too are also licensed for the particular phone they were on, yet they are cabbed and distributed everyday.

Market.Android

Have you noticed the new PC android market?
http://market.android.com/
Tell me your opinion!
I'm not sure I see the point, if all it does is use a qr code to direct your phone to the market to install the sofware.
It's a little bit stupid, for my opinion xD
agreed, useless....
from what I understand is you can set it t push automatically,I havny looked at it yet...

Almost....
I think it's quite brilliant. If I'm in front of my computer anyways, I find it easier to use the web market to browse apps.

It uses over-the-air installing. Simply click Install on the web market, and it'll start installing on your phone automagically.
Can't see how another option is a bad thing
still no proper sorting option like best rated, latest, most downloaded etc...

It doesn't work, I've just tried it. I can't seem to find a preference or setting for it either. I guess it doesn't exist.

no, i mean wp8. i want to get a wp8 phone when it comes out. but i want to make sure it can wrap trext when you zoom in web pages.
Nobody knows!
My post was removed, cant remember what I said but it was a couple of lines, one of which said that we don't know what WP8 will be like since we don't have it or something like that,
unless there was a bunch of posts after (or because of?!) mine that went off track, im not sure what happened.
The irony being in this instance, that unless there was more that I didn't see, we've gone further off topic because of the "cleaning"

About Motorola Notification.?

Can anyone tell me about this? At first I have not seen it. Later I see this in my app drawer. When did it came? Will I really be first to know about the Software Updates?????
LOL... It pushes *ADS* to your device, safe to disable/remove/delete or not install, whatever your situation.

I agree.
I set a rule to activate ring mode when connected to my home wifi but everytime I disconnect from it phone returns to vibration mode. Unwanted behavior.

You can now automate your phone's setting using the 'Rules' feature on your Pixel https://www.androidcentral.com/you-...phones-setting-using-rules-feature-your-pixel
Had this for a few days. I have a few rules set up, but I hope Google expands on the capabilities.
