Hi. I'm new to Android.

Why does my Angry Birds and Ninjump apps display annoying adverts at the top of my screen when I play those games? My friends iPhone doesn't do this. I want advert free gaming. Is this possible on the Android?

Thanks

If you root, yes.

Or just disconnect your wifi and data connection when you play Angry Birds.

So... Peggle is out today for FREE! Shame it's on Amazon's App Store though.

Myshra · 21 Jun 2011 at 09:29

I gave in and made a fake person for a fake amazon account, was bored waiting for this to come to us.

PiKe · 21 Jun 2011 at 09:31

Then you have the crappy amazon store service running constantly.

Just discovered UnifiedRemote, I'm blown away at how quick it was to setup...

Question for you AppWhores, I want to STREAM movies from my machine, onto my device via WIFI locally, any apps there to help me do so?

I'd be doing so over wireless N, I assume its to do with DLNA?

[SKR]Phoenix · 21 Jun 2011 at 10:19

If it's free, what's the legality of sharing the .apk? Out of interest of course.

PiKe · 21 Jun 2011 at 10:21

You can't, it has DRM built in to it which requires Amazon Appstore to be installed.

[SKR]Phoenix · 21 Jun 2011 at 10:21

ah...

Do folks use a anti-virus app on their android phones, and if so what?

I've just got my new Galaxy S2 and I'm thinking I ought ought to have anti-virus before I download loads of apps. Also without reading through this entire thread any quick recommends for apps I can't live without for a non-rooted phone.

Cheers
