Android TiPz

OS: Android 2.3.3
Hardware: HTC HD2
Tip
To improve the speed or reponse of your device try moving as many of your Applications as possible to your SD card rather than running them from your phone'a memory.
At the moment I am using Winmo and Android together because belive it or not I have a Winmo legacy application that I need to run so until someone can write an app on Android that allows you to run WinMo apps I kinda have to reboot to WinMo :(
But I am more than impressed with the functioning speed of Android 2.3.3 when you can physcially see the difference in speed as a result of an upgrade it is worth it.

OS: Android 2.3.3
Hardware: HTC HD2
Fix
Android Market NOT downloading!
After installing my shiny new Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Gingerbread's don't shine but...) I went to the Android market of course to re-install all my Apps I'm accustomed to, after a while of downloading from the Market it just would not download any more, to fix I went to:
->Settings
->Applications
->Manage Applications
->Downloaded
You will get a list of all your downloaded Applications if you select an App, Just below the Data information, you will see a button labeled "Move to SD card" if the application is not in use or in memeory (I think) it will allow you to move it to your SD storage once you begin to make some space on your phone's memory you will find you can continue to download Apps from the market again.
Yippee...
