Death Stryke Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Wow, what is the image? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 You dont know the QRcode? QR code is 2d barcode that can encode many kinds of data. Google uses it extensively in their apps..including links and apps.. Parth, just download the barcode scanner app. Whenever you want to download an app which is reviewed on web and this kind of image is given, just scan the image and it will automatically take you to the app page in android market 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pArth Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 wifi problem solved Just changed the encryption type in my router Downloaded barcode scanner . And this QR thing is amazing , it takes only a second to detect and a second more to launch the link in the browser . Downloaded the app within a minute . Nice app shantz. Now i want to flash a custom android 2.1 rom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 not much idea about rooting and flashing custom roms right now as I am happy with the stock rom on nexus... you can check out xda-developers.com btw for full guides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Legend/Desire/Droid. And why? /confused 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Desire, coz its better than the 3 specs wise. But it hasn't been launched here, so if u care about warranty at all, get the Droid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 All 3 are very good.. If you can spend more, buy a desire. If you want to buy something under 30k, then go for legend or milestone (GSM droid)..desire has the additional benefit of a faster CPU and a bigger screen.. but legend has a great and durable body... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
