I'm just going to link you to these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fD-M1F6L4g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dj5G0isn9Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgTnJ3JQQ0E For $100 dollars (as much as the HyperX retails), you can get a modmic ($50) and some headphones for $50.

I think you're confusing some terms here -- the operating system is the firmware. The ROM, as enthusiasts say. If you use FlashTool or Sony's PC Companion to flash the ROM (an .ftf file), then your recovery will be deleted. If you use your recovery to flash the ROM (in .zip format) then no, if...

Both that TF101 and your Cherry tablet are a tad underpowered for Hearthstone. Seeing as they're both worse performers than the Tegra 3 inside an original Nexus 7, and even the latter can barely play the intro sequence. Why the Cherry thing shuts off, I have no idea. If you suspect it to be a...

Okay, first off, we need more info. Simply saying that there's something yellow could mean a lot of things. 1. What OS version are you on? 2.3.4, 4.0.4, 4.1.2 etc.? 2. Describe your issue in detail. How does the thing look like, what's going on with the phone, what else is on the screen etc.? If...

SDcard slots are just something Sammy stuffs in so they can get the uneducated people buying their hardware to buy more of it. Google knew well what they were doing, ditching them. Irrelevant and it only creates confusion with the less-techie people.

There's always a way of entering your phone, even if you did forget your SIM code/phone lock code/Google account password. Anyways, try doing Fastboot erase from a PC...

I had that issue too, on my first tablet. Wasn't cheap (300€), but it really did feel like it... As for your problem, this is a frequent issue. If you have the option of finding your firmware on the manufacturer's support site and flashing it, it should fix itself.

Ubuntu's LTS releases have the most info online, but, in general, Ubuntu is based off of debian, so only rarely are things any different. If you don't mind the performance hit from Ubuntu and are okay with some lag, Ubuntu will work for you. Every other distribution, I haven't explored so I...

About linux, definitely! Or at least dual boot, if you need a specific Windows-only program. My 2006 laptop runs the best on Debian Wheezy, and Lubuntu lags like hell (Intel T5500 plus GMA950 graphics). So I recommend Debian :D (All linux distros I've seen run great with Intel GPUs.) About the...

Nice phone there, the Moto G. Nice to hear Motorola bringing in some iOS users :P Don't worry, you get used to it pretty fast. Came from Nokia's Symbian myself, but the personalization options are so huge you'll probably want to explore all the time xP If you don't have anymore questions...

Nothing official is out yet, and I don't think it will be. But there will always be custom ROMs. Go to XDA-developers.com and find your phone there. You can update to an unofficial Android firmware.

^That. If you can get your hands on a Moto G, that's perfect. Tough, if you can't, don't get a Samsung. Unless you know every detail of the phone (chipset, RAM, display etc.), you'll be scammed in the low-end market. Sony usually makes nice ones, as well as LG. HTC is there too, but they're a...

First off, welcome to the magical world of Android! :D Second, happy new year! Third, what is your phone? Different phones come with different widgets and apps preloaded. UCCW is a great tool for both creating your own widgets as well as downloading beautiful templates from Play Store. If you...

The thing isn't even official yet. And when announced, it'll only be available in Japan. People worldwide are hoping for an international release, but I doubt it. I say we're looking at anywhere from 500 to 700$ unlocked.

Well the Tipo isn't even a midrange model, so you can't really expect it to run high-end games. You could try overclocking the CPU and GPU, it's bound to boost your performance.
