I bought a flytouch 5 some time ago:-
AT&T VIMICRO MID
Model Number
MID
Android Version
2.3
Baseband Version
Unknown
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7
root@zjd #7
Build number
MID-userdebug 2.3 GRH55 eng.root.20111122.173305 test-keys
I have encountered a few problems. I have posted here before about my issue in downloading some apps. I have been unable to resolve this issue. I am in the UK, but when I try to download UK apps such as BBC iplayer I get a message to say that the app is not compatible with my device's location.
Also, recently, for some reason the browser has started to crash as soon as a webpage loads. It is fine with Google, but anything else it just crashes as soon as the webpage finishes loading. I downloaded Dolphin and tried that but had the same problem.
Now, I also have a few questions. Obviously, my device is running Gingerbread. Is it a) Possible and b) inexpensive to upgrade to ICS?
Would upgrading to ICS solve the issues above?
I have heard of Rooting and Flashing, what exactly does this mean? Is it something a newbie to Andriod can do? and is that the solution?
It has been suggested to me that using Market Unlocker could solve the first of my issues, but I can't seem to find it on the App Market. Has it been removed?
Any help you can give to educate me a little more on my machine would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
