Does upgrading to newer version of Android upgrades the UI as well?
for example: if I upgrade my HTC having Gingerbread to ICS, will the sense be upgraded too? (from 3.0 to 4.0)?

Task (and battery) management in Android?
One issue I've been having with my Android device lately is that the battery life on my Samsung Galaxy S II is horrible. It's brand new, so there's no reason it should be completely dead after leaving it in my bag over night. (I usually keep it plugged in at work and don't plug it in when I get home.)
As far as I can tell, this is because hitting the home screen in Android doesn't really kill the app or game I had open. It still continues to run in the background, draining my battery. I often... Read more →

Why is it so hard to find a decent slider?
I can't type on touchscreens to save my life. I'm willing to pay more for a slider with decent hardware, but they all seem to have the guts of 5 year old phones.
I have a Motorola Flipside with 2.2 and I'm ready to throw it out the window. I can't even update any apps any more because it gives me constant out of space errors with its tiny 256 MB RAM x 512 MB, fixed focus, general slowness, and occasional unresponsiveness.
I looked at the specs for the LG Optimus Slider, but it's specs don't seem... Read more →

The motorola defy+, a good buy?
I've read several reviews about the device. Overall they are convincing me to buy the defy+. But the camera seems bad or mediocre in all reviews and some reviews mention bad build quality, that makes me unsure I'd like some information from owners about that. Is the camera usable? Only with great light and no movement? Or isn't is that bad? Is the build quality bad, OK or good? Pretty important for a phone that's supposed to be "life proof".

Why is iMessage on the desktop seen as such a revolutionary thing?
I've listened to several podcasts and read several articles about OS X Mountain Lion since it was announced earlier this week and I can't help but feel annoyed at how the tech pundits give so much praise to the fact that iMessage is now running on a desktop. For example, The Verge states that, "WHEN IMESSAGE WORKS, IT DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE THE FUTURE." and Cult of Mac states that iMessage will, "...free our cellphones from the slavery of wireless carrier texting plans."

Closed platform? Open platform?
I'm interested to see what the overall feeling is in 2012 in regards to this. I have been a simultaneous Android and Blackberry/WP7 user over the years and I always prided myself in my Android loyalty and scoffed at those who claimed the open-ness of Google's OS hampered the overall user experience. Last month I received my first iPhone and I think I'm starting to pull a 180. I believe at this point, especially after experiencing iOS firsthand, Google should really consider pulling in the reigns...

Need a smart phone recommendation thats easy to use and hard to break.
I need a recommendation for a smart phone for a family member. The requirements are easy to use (no more complex than an iOS device) and resistant to breaking by dropping (So no iPhone 4/4S with easily broken glass). I would just recommend an iPhone 4 or 4S as she uses an iPod Touch, but the fragility of the glass when dropped is an issue. Anyone have any ideas for something easy to use and not easily broken?
BTW I am leaning towards WP7 for easy to use.

Diary/journal app with multiplatform syncing?
I'm looking for a diary/journal app that can be synced across multiple platforms (OS X, iOS, Android, Windows). So far, I only find the app "Day One" that has at least syncing across OS X and iOS via dropbox. Any other suggestions?

Can I use Google Voice for voicemail on Verizon?
My favorite part about Google Voice is using it for voicemail. Unfortunately, in the initial Google Voice setup on my Galaxy Nexus, it tells you that my carrier doesn't support that action or something. Apparently Verizon just wants to squeeze money out of their customers because they have their own visual voicemail but its $36/year (see also: phone and data plan costs).
Is there a workaround I can use in order to use Google Voice for voicemail on Verizon?

How do I find out if my Android phone has the Carrier IQ software installed?
I was reading up on people's thoughts on the Carrier IQ software (http://gdgt.com/question/android-users-are-you-wo... and I was mildly concerned. Before I started freaking out, I wanted to know how can I find out if this is actually on my device (Droid X)?
