I'm using chompsms with textfreek. I managed to add 2 friends; however, I can only send a text to one of them (the orange send button only comes up for one person). The one I can't send to is in the UK. Any ideas?

Is there any app on the market that will test your SD card and see if it's bad/failing? I tried searching the market but market search still sucks and  hasn't told me anything useful.

Yeah, I like it better than Google Sky Map, actually. For $0.10 it's pretty great.

LastInLine posted:I seldom do a full wipe but I was wondering how well it plays for the sort who is flashing CM nightlies often. If I were to put it in the in /system/app and put it in the CM Backup text file would it be completely hands off? It seems like it would. I'm guessing your correct as it lives (on a rooted phone) in the system partition. I've only had to completely reinstall twice when I've gotten too far behind on nightlys to flash over the top without incurring problems. Otherwise it plays nicely with flashing nightlys in my experience. Also, I've never actually lost my phone so never had to use this app in a real world situation, but played with all the functions and Theftaware performed exactly as advertised. Edit/ I know I'm stating the obvious but I pay credit cards, check bank balance, ect, and its a HUGE peace of mind knowing if I do lose my phone I can borrow any text capable device and lock or erase my device. potentiometer fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Dec 16, 2011 |

Is there an app that would allow me to send free text messages to someone in the UK and that the person in the UK would not have to install this program? (just me installing it)

You can turn off automatic updates in the Amazon store. Just do it manually when you check for the (extremely) low chance of a decent free app being posted. maverick99 posted:Is there an app that would allow me to send free text messages to someone in the UK and that the person in the UK would not have to install this program?

Last time I tried to text internationally (from US), they had disabled that feature, even though the Google forums are full of people saying they used to be able to.

Aw, is the 10c sale over?  I would've liked to have seen more utility/productivity apps instead of a ton of games, but considering I got my tablet right before the sale started I'd say it was a good time for them to have one.

Do you guys have any suggestions for a good Facebook app that has a full page widget available. Friendcaster and Launcher Pro both have something is perfect, but Friendcaster doesn't seem to update unless you manually refresh it, and Launcher Pro requires you to use the Launcher to have the widget. I'm kind of enjoying Ice Cream Sandwich, so I don't want to go that route. I have looked all over the internet and can't seem to find any info on how to get Friendcaster to auto-update the widget (and there aren't any settings in the app itself), so I assume it's not possible.

Cakefool posted:Terrible idea for developers: everyone would wait for their favourite app to become 10c I'm not so sure about this. Look at steam, sure there are the crazy sales during the holidays, the good sales on the weekend, the medium sale on wednesdays and the crappy daily ones. But people still pay full price for the games most of the time. And the devs usually still make lots more money during sales as a lot of people will buy because of the low price. 3000 sales at $1 and 3000000 at 10c is a big difference.

I hope you're right, it'd be awesome. I'm not familiar with Steam (I know what it is but I don't use it) but if that works out for everyone then I'm all for it.

I don't know that the app will let you log in without having the pro unlocker app also on the phone, but I think if you both logged in with the same account, you'd get the same lists. I have not tried that, unfortunately.

Anyone have a good solution for Facebook contact syncing via ICS that doesn't involve custom roms? I gave Friendster a try, but even the high resolution pictures are embarrassingly pixely and it doesn't sync phone numbers, which is what I really wanted it to do. An option to not sync friends without phone numbers would be optimal. I was getting used to not having to add people with Facebook accounts to my contacts so my contact list has some pretty big holes right now.

Does anyone know if there's a way to force the Android Marketplace to show English text and English reviews? I'm really annoyed that I'm limited to Danish reviews and text on my phone, because I know there are way more English reviews on any given product. EDIT: Just to be clear I mean as a setting on my Google account or my phone. I know there's a drop-down menu at the bottom of the market pages, but it only changes a local cookie, so it doesn't carry over to my phone.

I'm not sure if this goes in the general Android thread or this one. How the heck do I figure out what is using my GPS off and on throughout the day? Its a Samsung Galaxy SII (AT&T) and it has a task manager- I have no programs running according to that. Is there a program that will tell me what is using the GPS?

Does anybody else's "My Library" on the market website just end partway through the list? Even though it appears that I have about twenty pages of apps, a bunch of the pages are blank and my app list stops after the M's.

There was a lovely update put out not to long ago that randomly turns on and off the gps throughout the day. I've just been turning gps off before opening it.

Valid point about lack of customisation available though - especially not being able to change the grid size up to 5x5 or higher (which I'd imagine would be great on the big screen of teh Galaxy Nexus)

There are a few quirks about the stock launcher on the Nexus I dislike but overall I am quite happy with it. I am however waiting for this bad boy to come out. http://youtu.be/SYzYQ6YtepU The ugly ultra simplistic clock is the one thing I really need to change when I get a spare moment.

I can see why it would be ok to have a persistent search bar on a tablet where you have a ton of screen space but sticking it at the top of every home screen on a phone is dumb. Also why oh why can't we change the number of screens, such a simple thing yet only Rosie let's you do it.
