Because it wants you to stop using it. The Amazon store is terrible and shouldn't be used by anyone. I think most people here (myself included) have ditched it and just bought whatever they liked from Amazon on the market Play Store.
I've got way too many free apps for that :(

Has Haxsync stopped updating contact photos for anyone else? Stopped doing so a while ago for me. I've gone into sync and made sure it's turned on. It even says that it synced up yesterday but I only see status updates being refreshed not pictures. Anything else I should be taking a look at?

If your friends have tight privacy settings, Haxsync can't update their picture. You have to remove your Haxsync account and log back in to force an update. The developer said he is working on a fix.

New version of Facebook, still no push notification option.

Also, i have been trying out swiftkeyx to see if i should buy it during the sale, bit the predictions are kind of creepy, to be honest. It would make for some well spelled but unintelligible drunk texts.

Why is the Amazon Appstore still sending me notifications even after I have turned them off?

Because it's a total piece of poo poo, and they don't know how to make it work right, even on their own device.

I barely use the thing but it doesnt send me notifications besides updates and I've never had a problem.

Maybe ICS protects me.

Its there a good app that will set random wallpaper from a directory every N minutes or on unlock? Better if its intelligent enough to center, crop or resize based on the image size.

Are you not on Windows 7? It doesn't crop/center automatically but it does rotate images from a directory.

I definitely have contacts who have previously had their contact photo update not updating any more. Unless they changed their privacy settings simultaneously and recently(doubt it), it's not an existing problem with the app.

Reddit News is my overall favorite because of the way it handles links/comments. Reddit Sync is the best for browsing pictures. Was never a fan of Baconreader.

Also, Reddit is Fun just released 2.0.1 and while it's faster than the earlier ones I'd mentioned, I don't like how the simplicity of the older version is gone and I'm not happy about losing the "pick subreddit" option.
Someone has forked the last open source version of RiF (the last one before 2.0) and put it up as Diode. Doesn't look like he's added anything to it yet, but it's a good way to go back.

Push notifications if you care about that, and the app DOES do some stuff better when compared to the mobile site (such as photo viewing).

If you don't like the app, don't use it.

Is there something that can play mp3s to a voice caller?

I remember some app for winmo that would, it included like airport sounds or something. "fool ur boss lol"

"Cardholder services" scammers keep calling. They called on my landline for the 1st time tonight, I gave an earful of surfin bird. (a kickass ramones ver). I wish I had a way to do the same on my cm7 inspire (or an mp3 of like 5 minutes of "uh huh....uh huh..... I didn't catch that last part"). If nothing exists I have to go with my alt plan of reading aloud internet fanfic.

They call my cell like twice a week, I blacklist, but it's a diff # every time. I've been reg'ed at donotcall.gov since it started but they give no gently caress.

Reasons to install the Facebook app:
1) Notifications (that rarely work properly)
2) You think your phone has too much battery life
3) You don't mind giving FB an awful lot of permissions on your phone

So LevelUp Studio is working on Plume 3.0 right now and one of the major changes is a new UI that works with ICS. Right now there is an alpha build up for 3.0 but it is far from finished (couple bugs and some icons are not final).

You can download the build here: http://levelupstudio.com/betatest/index.php?topic=173.0 (you'll need to register, but it's worth it cause they release updates everyday pretty much).

Here's what it looks like right now:

Anyone else find Beautiful Widgets lagging out the home screen on unlock now after the update? I had a small weather and small date widget on my main home screen for a while now with no issues. I updated BW last night and now it stutters as it unlocks if the widgets are present.

This is on a Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.4.

I watch via the web site with my Xoom on occasion, it works fine once the video starts but it can be a pain to navigate the interface. Well the interface kinda sucks even on a PC.
