Updated my Android
Posted by Jerlyn in Technology on May 29, 2010
Sadly the Sprint Samsung Moment can only be upgraded manually so I finally got the chance to do that tonight. It was fairly easy. I was a little worried because I’m practically attached to it and didn’t want to risk being offline for most of the day.
First I followed the instructions on the Sprint website.

The upgrades that were included were:
Keypad backlight optimization
Bulk Bluetooth contact push
Increased speed and performance
Swipe to Unlock/Mute/Speakerphone
New camera features
Pandora enhancements
Here’s my new screen with wallpaper:
By the way, if you’d like my wallpaper, download it here it’s a photo of a graffiti space that I took while attending school in Rochester.
I backed up all my apps using appbrain.com. Also, haha I guess my screen capture finally works.
Tweet Tweet!
I suppose that birds tweet… after all they do on Twitter (a site for “Micro-blogging, RSS, updates”)
Twitter has became very popular among my friends lately so it deserved a post. Although it had been around for awhile. I feel like it was almost like Facebook in a sense when it Facebook came popular when it was finally noticed by large groups of people in social networks (you can find a list of most social networks by going to that url).
I use a great deal of social networks (yes almost scary to know that I am everywhere online but I’ve been avidly using the internet for years). I am on geni, deviantArt, myspace, Facebook, spock, virb, hi5, humblevoice, Linkedin, vox… just to name a few. My interest in them fluctuate because I usually study the way to maximize traffic on all these sites. I signed up for myspace possibly around 1999 or 2000 or was it 2002? But I wasn’t interested in anything else but breaking the code. I probably changed the layout seasonally or once a year and directed it to my main domain.
I never got into friendster but I signed up anyway [profile]. It was popular before Facebook. I also had xuqa (who ended up using my photo because it was getting lots of hits…) I realized popularity came with next to revealing photos. I also tried zorpia, which was as disappointing as xuqa. Xuqa is actually now focused on Poker games (My Profile).
Xanga was interesting and I bounced back and forth for years I think I had an account since 2003 or 2004. I am not sure how I got into it. [My xanga - you have to be a friend to read]
Hi5 was interesting to me because I found most if my friends from my country on there. Hi5 seems to be more “Popular in Angola, Portugal, Cyprus, Romania, Thailand, Central Africa and Latin America.”
I recently joined LiveMocha, in hopes to become fluent en Français.
Currently I am tweeting because I have an app. What’s an app? [read here]. I currently use twitterific on my iPod Touch. It is almost mindless to update and it syncs most of the networks that I am on so my friends and family will always know what is going on in my life. I have twitter on my blog , updating my Facebook status (which was the only thing I do there besides upload photos) and keeping up with my friend’s or colleague’s lives.
Mind you there are a lot of things that I’d not try. I still won’t get an iPhone hehe (bad enough I don’t own a mac as a designer – shock! – You guys are going to have a fieldday with this!)
