What is the difference between google android market and google play?

Q. Alot of tablets have google android market with 4.1 Jelly bean android. Are they both the same, and if not can I upgrade. I want to buy a decent tablet for afordable price

A. The name is the difference. Android Market became Google Play a while ago and that's basically it. They also added books and movies to stuff you can download I think but in terms of apps there is no difference.


How do you rent a movie from the android market?
Q. I saw movies for rent on the android market. Do you need wifi to watch them? How long is the rental? And how does it work on general?

A. first off why would you want to rent a movie from android that cost a few bucks to watch a movie on your tiny screen why not try netflix (if your phones supported) also you can go to websites like www.ch131.com and watch movies off your phone there. now as for android market you need to have your debt card linked to your account (if you ever paid for an app then this step should be done) then you find the movie u want to rent (before i forget to do this you need the newest version of the android market if it isnt on your phone yet this is all pointless if you want it on your phone you need to side load the APK file to your phone (thats what i had to do) just google new android market apk and find it. then you can find your movie click on it then click on the price tag (should be a blue button) then click accept and pay. now after all that you can choose to stream it or choose to download it to your phone and view without using wifi or 3G/4G but you only get i think 24hours to watch the movie and im pretty sure thats 24hours from the time you press play not from the time you download it that dont mean you can have the movie forever till you click play there is going to be a time limit for that. i no its not the best answer but i tried


How different is the Android Market different then the apple market?
Q. I wanted an i phone, but the prices to use it each month is just too much, so i found the samsung intercept by virgin mobile. I have an Ipod touch, so I was wondering how different is the android market then the apple market? And i checked there website, so i saw a few apps i have on my ipod already so that's good. And does the phone act like the ipod/ iphone?

A. graphically there are different..... transaction wise, they are the same......

Android MArket has 150,000 apps.... 67% are Free... 20 are under $5... 13% over $5

AppStore has 300,000 apps.... 20% are Free... 40% are under $5... 25% $5-$10... 15% over $10

Droids can act like ipods/iphone.... and even better........ way more customization... your not tethering to a website all the time (cough itunes cough) like a dog to a tree or like a slave to Steve Jobs... I had a iphone 2G/3G... and I HATED IT... lost my music during syncs... phone froze after syncs.... i only got 1 wty replacement... i never had ins options...... I dont hate the phone, but more or less the Apple Policies that surround it.... when I pay $199 or whatever for a phone in contract --- I considered it MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With Iphone, its not your phone...... your constantly connected to itunes for OS updates and music/app support... geeesh, so lame, what does a website have to do with your music library or OS updates!??!!?!....... you set on what Apple tells you when you can/cannot do....... whatever... with Google Android... OWN YOUR PHONE... LIVE FREE... OS update via OTA or email... Music controled by yourself via a PC/Mac sync... and the customization is just freakin endless that it puts any smartphone to shame.......

Marketshare states customers want personalization and customization of their cell phone.... Apple just doent provide that..... and that is why Apple is dying and lossing stock and why Android became so popular in 1 year---what took Apple iphone 4 years to do.........

I know i ranted..... but, if iphone 5 is going to be like ipad when compared to the previous device, then Apple is really dead... LOL...


can you download the android market on non-android phones?
Q. I am planning on buying this really awesome phone. But it is not an android phone. I want to know if I can download the android market into it maybe via a microsd card. Is this possible, if so how?

A. Unfortunately, no. For starters, Android Market is designed for Android phones. Therefore, it has to be an Android phone to work. Second of all, the Android Market installer itself is a .apk file which only Android phones can execute. Other phones can't execute these type of files.

What phone are you getting?

Out of the different versions of the Motorola Droid which to you think is the best?

Can I flash a Motorola Droid to Metro PCS with full web browsing and picture messaging?
Q. I am planning on getting a Motorola Droid with a bad ESN number, but I would like to know if it is possible to have web browsing and picture messaging. If so how do I go about flashing it to Metro PCS?

A. it is possible but not in the moment.

Does anyone know how much the Motorola Droid for verizon will be?
Q. I have seen pictures of the Motorola Droid online and I really like it. It is supposed to come out on November 6th and I really would like to know how much it will cost. Are there any Verizon employees out there? Please answer my question!

A. Okay, Its called the Motorola Droid. Its a Smartphone running Android 2.0 Eclair. Its going to be released on November 6, 2009 on Verizon Wireless.com, in-stores, and other retailers. Best Buy is accepting pre-orders now. Its going to be $299 with a 2/year contract with a $100 mail-in-rebate from Verizon in a form of a Debit Card. OR if you get it from Best Buy they give you the Rebate Instantly which means you only pay for the $199 price tag since thats what the phone is after rebate. Now Monthly you have to pay a $30/Data Plan which is mandatory to have the phone as well as the Voice plan and if you want Visual Voicemail, Text, Insurance, etc thats also extra. But the Minimum your looking at is the Data Plan and Voice plan. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me. Good Luck.


Does the Motorola Droid use data from the Verizon network while connected to a wifi connection?
Q. I have a Motorola Droid and have the 150MB data plan from Verizon. When I am at home I always use my wi-fi connection. I've had this phone for only three days now rarely get on the web or any web based application and I have already used 25MB of data. How is this so when I am almost always on a wi-fi connection? I already checked all my running applications and none of them are using any data right now. Please help.

A. You only use your MB when you're on the 3G network, so your Wifi connection isn't eating up your megabytes. Really, the 25 MB for a Droid is next to nothing because of all the background data. If your phone jumps off Wifi at all, it will start counting 'em up.

If you do have to get off the Wifi and want to avoid the auto-updates from the apps and running widgets, go to settings, accounts & sync settings, and turn off background data. This should help you out. You may also want to turn off auto-sync, which is directly underneath background data's setting.

What are some rpg games that allow you to pick your class in the beginning of the game?

Q. Like, for Android phones there is a game call "Inotia 1,2,3,&4" and when you make a new game you have to choose your class (warrior, wizard, knight, ranger, assassin, and so on) and I wanted to know other games for handheld or console like that.

A. If you're looking for more on your android, there's a game called Zenonia that I find very similar to Inotia (which I just started playing and love!). Zenonia is also available for PSP, if I'm not mistaken. The first two are $.99 on Android, and there is a 3 and 4 that are free as far as I've seen. On the Apple store they were all free at one point, so if you have a ipod touch/iphone, it's there also and cheaper.

Also on android is World of Magic, not sure if you get to pick a class on that one I played it a long time ago and forgot.

One of my favorites for the DS was Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles: Echoes of time. It allows you to pick a "race" at the beginning of the game and I'm pretty sure it is a sequel of a game in the series that does the same, though I never played that one.

If you have a Wii, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles:Echoes of Time is also available on it, though it is oddly set up as they didn't change the design when they ported it from the DS.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers on Wii is nice to play also, but I don't recall it allowing you to choose a class. You get the different races in your party as you play if I remember right.

On XBOX 360/PS3 there are MANY games out there that have this ability, not sure if you are inquiring about those or just handhelds. Dragon Age Origins and Sacred 2 are some examples I can think of. My fav on the XBOX 360 is Borderlands, which has a class system, but is also a shoot and loot rather than having RPG like game play, it has a bit more action than you might expect. Dungeons and Dragons Daggerdale is one that I've never played but having played Dungeons and Dragons in high school, I'm sure there is no way they could build this game without a class system. Oblivion and Skyrim have class systems, also. XBOX Arcade has several, like Crimson Alliance and Torchlight.

If you're looking only for android, I am posting a link to some top android RPGs. Zenonia 4 and Inotia 3 are on this list, so I figure some of the other games may be similar to them.


Hope this post is helpful!

Q. I have a hacked Pandigital Novel and I have been able to run many games successfully except Illusia.

How to get emoji for Android ?

Q. I'm on twitter alot and I always see certain people that have Androids using emoji but I can't figure out how I can do it. Lol any help?

A. handcent SMS or Go SMS Pro, with Emoji plug-in.


Is there a way to change how my Android phone displays certain things?
Q. Such as smiley faces? Like, my Samsung Galaxy S shows little green, like, aliens as smiley faces. But I downloaded an app called GO Keyboard, and it has something called Emoji on it. I like the cute faces the app has, but I only see an empty box when I type one in. My friend can see it on her iPod just fine though, so I was wondering if there was a way to change how my phone displays things.

A. It's in your messaging settings, not the Keyboard settings.
If you're using the stock Android messaging system, I don't think there's an option for it.
But if you have an SMS/MMS service downloaded, there's an option in the settings to change how the emoticons show up.

Can you use a prepaid android phone as a wifi only device?
Q. Ok so I want to have an android media player similar to the samsung galaxy player. I was wondering if i could buy a prepaid android phone(which would be cheaper than the galaxy) and not activate it making it wifi only. I just want to be able to access the internet and buy apps. As long as it has a music player on board and i get a wifi signal would it work?f Thanks for any help.

A. Well it really depends on the phone itself, as has been stated, some phones won't work if there is no SIM. It will continue to show you an option to call 911. With the Galaxy S ( first generation, model T959D ) it will work, I know because I just tried it on mine, but other phones will work as well.

What you plan to do is a good idea in the sense that you can do whatever you would like without having to pay a monthly fee but you always have the option to do so later on. However, I think the only drawback would be the 911 emergency button that always shows on the locked screen, it would be a little embarrassing to have to explain that to the operator who answers the phone.

A. Yes , The Lg optimums acts like a media player with android installed you can do anything over wifi that yu would normally want to with this phone. This should be the same for all Virgin Android Phones but at least the Optimus does.

Q. I installed an app onto my phone from the sd card but I did not buy it from the android marketplace. I want to update it but since I didn't buy it from the android market, I still get the "buy" option rather than an update option. Is there any way to get the android market to recognize that I have the app installed so that I can update it?

A. no... Market only updates apps "bought" on the android market...

3rd party apps wont show on Martet download lists since you didnt get it from Google... you will have to update it from the 3rd party.... If they posted the app, then naturally they have the update too (like Applanet.net does)

you could try Appbrain from the market.. i dont think it will work though...

you could try Applanet... www.Applanet.com... never buy an app again

what are pros and cons of rooting an android phone?
Q. i have a huawei mercury and i want to root my phone but idk all about rooting so i need some help.

A. Pros:

You can overclock your phone using apps like rom toolbox, this app also allows you to change your phone's boot animation, font, notification bar icons etc.

You can install a unofficial firmware updates on to your phone from the likes of cyanogenmod.

Once that is done, you can access apps that you couldn't before.

cons:

You might brick your phone. (Part or all the phone doesn't work. Usually it's all the phone.)

Your warranty becomes nothing.

I do not recommend rooting a expensive new phone. You could mess it up big time.


What benefits are there to rooting my HTC EVO 4G?
Q. I have a year old EVO and basically it sucks now. I've tried deleting as many applications as i can, but my phone is still far slower than it used to be, if i rooted it would it help at all? If not, what benefits would it give me

A. if the phone is slow.. as slow in performance... then that means your making the CPU do more than it can.... chill out on the widgets and live wallpaper and other active syncs you ahev going on...

next.. the cache... when was the last time you did cache maintance.. like a computer, Android needs maintance... Get 1-click Cleaner... run cache clear only... scan,,, then clear all cache button.... then reboot...

#3.... uninstall any task killers you have... im not gonna lecture... but simply say task killers are not meant for Android 2.0+.... ontl for cupcake 1.5 and donut 1.6... only idiots use task killers... Instead, get Watchdog LITE.... its a TASK MANAGER!. you see when you kill apps, you stop a nature process. Thus making apps and eventually the stock ROM act CRAZY! This lagsness can be a result form tons and tons of force kills on task killer on a EVO... only a factory reset can fix this issue

doing the 3 things above can improve CPU performance....

Rooting... give superuser access to the phone.. you can remove ads in apps (adfree), freeze bloatware (bloatfreezer) (both of these can free up the CPU), make app and settting backups (Titanium backup), flash ROMS (ROM Manager), change notification icons, 3g icons, battery icons, vibrate icons, airplane mode icons, wifi icons, change boot animation, change boot logo (ninjamorph and metamorph), Make a 1Ghz CPU run at 1.5 Ghz faster CPU---this is called overclocking the phone making it faster (setCPU).... there is so much... you have no idea... become a member of Androidcentral.com... religiously read the EVO forums.. start learning your phones potential...

Is it safe to view and trade my stocks on my phone?
Q. I have the android Galaxy Nexus, just wondering how secure it is. For instance if I get the scottrade app and want to trade stocks with that will it be safe? When I'm connected to an open wifi can people steal the information off my phone and steal my stock and along with it my credit card information?

A. The app might protect you some.. I don't know it. Read the specifics on your ScottTrade app.

Generally, if you are using an open WiFi access point, then anyone around you.. and especially the folks who set up the access point ( do you know them?) .. can monitor and even record anything moving in or out of that access point.

Phones also have bluetooth commonly turned on.. this is another possible way to hack info from your phone.

BUT.. this is probably (almost) as safe as using a laptop on a network. The site should be HTTPS (secured web page), so there is encryption there.
If you use good- strong passwords;
don't share them;
don't use the same password for your mail, stocks and bank accounts
if you keep an eye on your finances .. check every line of each transaction
and keep an eye on your phone usage

then you can minimize the risks.

You should be able to use some kind of two-factor authentication with your bank and with ScottTrade. Two-factors, meaning if you want to make a sizeable change in your investment stance (you set the threshold) , then they put the transaction through - but hold it pending a confirmation. That can be a phone call, you give them a verbal PIN, maybe they need to call a separate number or you need to answer a text message with a code..
The first authentication is you getting on the website with your password.
The second authentication should be something that isn't going to be in or in your phone.

I also suggest getting a security program ( like - but maybe not exactly Norton's) that allows you to remotely erase the phone if you lose it.
Then --- backup your data, and practice the emergency erase once or twice so you see how it works.. and you get to see how good your data backups are.

A. open wifi, no. its not hard at all to monitor traffic in an open network with, say, wireshark. im sure scotttrade uses encrypted packets (fun fact, facebook does not, easy passwords there) but there is still stuff you might want to keep to your self. i would trust the 4g in the phone over a open network.

How can you start using an alternate keyboard app in Android Jelly Bean?

Q. I don't like the default keyboard on my Galaxy Nexus phone, so I am trying to make use of some alternates which I have used before while running Android Gingerbread. I have already install these, and selected them under the Settings Language and Input. While running Gingerbread, I recall that I long-pressed the text area while trying to edit something, or I think that's what I had to do to get the selection menu for the keyboards which were installed and enabled in the Settings. There was a popup menu called "Input Method". Problem is I'm not getting that menu when I do that in Jelly Bean. How then can I start using my preferred keyboard in this ostensibly sweet system?

A.


Is it possible to uninstall an Android software update after you update?
Q. I have an HTC Inspire 4G, and I was wondering, if I don't like the update to Android Gingerbread from Android Froyo (2.2), if I could possibly go back to my original Android software (2.2). Also, does Android save all the contacts, even if they are stored on the phone, to my google account?

A. You should be able to go in to recovery mode and restore the backed up ROM that was on the phone before the update. Just read your manual on how to boot into the recovery mode or find your phone's forum posts on XDA or CyanogenMod and see how it's done.

How to take screenshots on Android phones?
Q. Okay so I have a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze which runs on the Android gingerbread system. I know there is a way to screenshot pics because I've done it by mistake about 3 times. The pictures have even saved in my gallery to an album called "screenshots". So if anyone knows exactly how to do it I would love to hear it. Thanks.

A. I have the same phone and did the same thing but I figured it out. Hold the home button and push the lock button. You have to do it quickly though if you want to capture the screen only and not the little shortcut window.

Why do only some phones get android ics?
Q. I hav the motorola triumph and im still running on android froyo (2.2.2) nd just about every other motorola phone the (motorola droid motorola droid x) get android ice cream sandwich why don't I

A. A lot of phones aren't getting ICS. The two main reasons a phone won't get ICS:

1. The phone manufacturer or the phone provider doesn't think it's worth the effort (this is typical for phones that are no longer being sold).

2. It's impossible to do it because the phone's hardware isn't powerful enough.

In some cases you could still get ICS for your phone anyway if you root it and then install a custom ROM. To start learning about that, look up Cyanogenmod.

What do you think about the Android marketplace?
Q. How do you think the Android marketplace compares to iTunes? I'm trying to decide whether to get a Xoom or an iPad, and I've heard buying, downloading, and managing apps on an Android device is a pain compared to doing it on an Apple device.

I know that Android is much more open than iOS, which is a definite plus in its favor, but if it's more difficult to actually get them on the device, then I'm not sure if it's really worth it.

What have your experiences with it been like?

A. I have completely said bye iOS and almost every devices of Apple, Android devices are desired the most all around the globe. If you ask me to share my personal experience than trust me its Android device that matter not the hard ware brand like MOTOROLA or any other expensive company. Market place is not a pain at all. It works perfectly all rights.
To be honest even there is no need of buying Xoom cause now many android manufacturing companies are providing very cool android devices including tablet Pc at a cheap cost. Like the one i am using is called 'Ozi-tab' manufactured by some HONG KONG based company Ozitechnology and i dont regret buying it. I wont suggest you to spend that much money on ipad or xoom, give a thought over that android tablets as welll.

Is there a Jailbreak for the Samsung Galaxy s3?

Q. I want to get the GS3, but will only do so if there some sort of jailbreak i could do? I just want to have 100% control of how my phone acts, looks, and operates. Is there anything I can do that would allow this? I'm new to the android market. OS is to run of the mill.

A. It runs on Android, for crying out loud. Almost all customization can be done on it out of the box.

And did you mean Root? Yea, there is a root for SGS III. When you root it, you will have complete control on the system. You can then customize things like boot animations etc... Head on to http://xda-developers.com for download links, development forums, etc...


what are pros and cons of rooting an android phone?
Q. i have a huawei mercury and i want to root my phone but idk all about rooting so i need some help.

A. Pros:

You can overclock your phone using apps like rom toolbox, this app also allows you to change your phone's boot animation, font, notification bar icons etc.

You can install a unofficial firmware updates on to your phone from the likes of cyanogenmod.

Once that is done, you can access apps that you couldn't before.

cons:

You might brick your phone. (Part or all the phone doesn't work. Usually it's all the phone.)

Your warranty becomes nothing.

I do not recommend rooting a expensive new phone. You could mess it up big time.


What benefits are there to rooting my HTC EVO 4G?
Q. I have a year old EVO and basically it sucks now. I've tried deleting as many applications as i can, but my phone is still far slower than it used to be, if i rooted it would it help at all? If not, what benefits would it give me

A. if the phone is slow.. as slow in performance... then that means your making the CPU do more than it can.... chill out on the widgets and live wallpaper and other active syncs you ahev going on...

next.. the cache... when was the last time you did cache maintance.. like a computer, Android needs maintance... Get 1-click Cleaner... run cache clear only... scan,,, then clear all cache button.... then reboot...

#3.... uninstall any task killers you have... im not gonna lecture... but simply say task killers are not meant for Android 2.0+.... ontl for cupcake 1.5 and donut 1.6... only idiots use task killers... Instead, get Watchdog LITE.... its a TASK MANAGER!. you see when you kill apps, you stop a nature process. Thus making apps and eventually the stock ROM act CRAZY! This lagsness can be a result form tons and tons of force kills on task killer on a EVO... only a factory reset can fix this issue

doing the 3 things above can improve CPU performance....

Rooting... give superuser access to the phone.. you can remove ads in apps (adfree), freeze bloatware (bloatfreezer) (both of these can free up the CPU), make app and settting backups (Titanium backup), flash ROMS (ROM Manager), change notification icons, 3g icons, battery icons, vibrate icons, airplane mode icons, wifi icons, change boot animation, change boot logo (ninjamorph and metamorph), Make a 1Ghz CPU run at 1.5 Ghz faster CPU---this is called overclocking the phone making it faster (setCPU).... there is so much... you have no idea... become a member of Androidcentral.com... religiously read the EVO forums.. start learning your phones potential...

What are some fun free games or apps off the android market?
Q. Just gotta new android and I wanna know some fun apps or games that are free.

A. Oh, wow, suggesting Angry Birds -_- because NO ONE'S ever heard of Angry Birds, right? Pfft.

Try Scooter Hero, Paper Toss, Temple Run, Abduction, Whack Your Boss, Draw Something (it's online though), Fruit Slice/Fruit Ninja, or download a heap of emulators, they have SNES, GBA, GameBoy, MegaDrive, they have a whole heap more too, except I still haven't found a N64 one, they're all really great, and finding a good free one isn't hard if you have a bit of a look around.

These online games are fun: Zombies Live, Vampires Live, Bakery Story, Farm Story, etc. Now remember, Zombies Live, Vampires Live, Farm Story and Bakery Story are all using Storm8, so when you save your game in ZL or VL and you already have an account on Bakery Story or Farm Story, the account is the same Storm8 account you use on FS or BS, which is already preset onto your phone, so make sure when you save on VL or ZL and you already have FS or BS (or vice versa) to use the same Storm8 ID or else when you go onto BS or FS after making up a new ID on ZL or VL you'll have started a new game with this account, but if you accidentally do that, all you have to do is go back to ZL or VL and save your game under your original Storm8 ID and it'll automaticaly take you back to your old bakery/farm.

My personal fav android game is Inotia 3: Children of Carnia, you should definitely get it, it's awesome, it's an adventure game.

How to link work outlook mail with you Android phone?

You will need to consult your office's systems administrator to get help doing this.

can you download the android market on non-android phones?

Q. I am planning on buying this really awesome phone. But it is not an android phone. I want to know if I can download the android market into it maybe via a microsd card. Is this possible, if so how?

A. Unfortunately, no. For starters, Android Market is designed for Android phones. Therefore, it has to be an Android phone to work. Second of all, the Android Market installer itself is a .apk file which only Android phones can execute. Other phones can't execute these type of files.

Can I transfer my purchases from my kindle fire to my android phone?
Q. I want a game for my kindle but don't want to pay for it again for my android phone. Is there a way to transfer the purchase to my phone?

A. Look up for Kindle app on your android phone, and register it to your Amazon account. Purchases in the Amazon account can be shared by multiple devices. There's a very good discussion here about this:

http://budurl.com/KindleShareContent

So you can purchase any digital content from Amazon using your computer to your Amazon account. They will then appear on your Kindle and phone automatically, as they are also registered to the Amazon account.

Can I fill out applications for scholarships on my android phone?
Q. I don't have the internet at home besides on my android phone. I want to get started on scholarships for college. Should I just wait until I have free time at school and use a computer there?

Also, is fastweb the only website of it's kind?

A. I'm not Android saavy, so if I say something stupid, forgive me. ... lol! :)

It sounds like the Android phone has computer apps on it. When you apply for a scholarship, you usually have to write an essay. Type a generic essay and save it to your computer. E-mail it to yourself, and then you will have it to download to a scholarship application. It would be nice if you could edit the essay by using your phone. Then, you could alter each essay to fit the scholarship.

Good luck with scholarships!

How do you send and view text messages on an Android phone?

And how do you text? Seriously. Can someone give me step by step instructions? It uses a touchscreen.

A. Your old Text Messages are saved to your old phone's internal memory (not to the SIM card/SD Card). There isn't a way to recover these messages.

To text on an android phone:
1) Open up the message application
2) Click on Compose new Message
4) Enter in the contact who you want to send a message to
5) Write your message in the box below where you entered your contact's name
6) click on the send button

Since resetting the phone and adding my gmail account I haven't had the option to save to my phone. How do I make my phone give me the option to save to the phone so I don't have to save to my Gmail account?

Thanks for your help.

A. you need to remove gmail and auto background data synch option from setting and to make it easier download couple of free wares from android market like backup directly to phone or sd card and for further control u need to root your device


Will using the factory data reset on my android eliminate my data plan?
Q. It may sound like a lame question, so please forgive my stupidity... But if I click the factory reset option on my android, will it get rid of the data plan on my phone such as unlimited texting and unlimited calling. Anyone, please let me know. Thank you.
And if it helps, I had to create an account for my phone before I was able to have full access to it. And the phone I have is a MOTOBLUR.

A. No, it shouldn't! :O Your phone is connected to the account that you have with whoever your network is, i.e. AT&T, Rogers, Virgin Mobile, O2, Vodafone, etc., depending on where you are. That won't be affected if you do a factory reset! You're basically just restoring your phone to factory settings; like to how it was like when it came out of the box. :)

What app should I use to play a digital copy?

Q. I have the Samsung Galaxy Android tablet, and I really want to put my digital copies of my movies on it. I have NO IDEA what app I should use for this. I went to the redeem website for the Hunger Games movie, and it asked me if I wanted to use iTunes or Vudu. I don't have either app on my tablet, and when I looked them up, I couldn't figure out what I should download.

A. Vudu does have an app on the Play store, but may not be available for all devices.

iTunes is of no use to you. Only Apple devices or iTunes on a Windows PC will play those digital copies.

How to access my yahoo small business email account with Android?
Q. After downloading the Yahoo Mail Android App (Verizon user) I still can't access my e-mail from the small business domain. I can still only access e-mails to/from my personal yahoo.com domain.

A. Hi Erin,

The Yahoo! Mail App does not support Business Email addresses at this time. To configure Yahoo! Small Business Mail on your mobile device, you will need to use either an IMAP or POP setup. Here's a walkthrough for Android devices: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/bizmail/�

If you prefer IMAP instead, the process is the same, just use these settings: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/bizmail/pop/�

A. You can download all of your music as MP3s, check out this link.

I would recommend you install the google music manager:
https://music.google.com/music/listen#ma�

Launch the Music Manager
Select the 'Download' tab*
Click 'Download purchased music'

You should then save the tracks into your "automatically add to ITunes" folder
