Awesome that it fixed itself, but in case you actually do need it down the road, Titanium Backup can repair Market connections.

Does anyone know of a tip calculator app that has a widget included? The only one I've found doesn't include a numerical percentage adjuster on it.

Why do you need a dedicated tip calculator? What's wrong with just a regular calculator widget? For that matter, figuring out a tip in your head is crazy easy. Move the decimal point to the left one space, drop the last digit, there's 10%. Double it for your standard 20% tip. If service was bad, remove a bit, if it was really good, maybe add a bit. Edit: Oh God, this is going to start a tip debate, isn't it

Better yet how can you not do simple math like that in your head?

A widget/calculator is probably pretty helpful when you're shitfaced. Also, some people just can't do math like that in their head, don't be a dick.

I may have a problem with my browser on my TF-201. Sometimes when loading web pages it'll 'load' the page. All it shows though is a white back ground. It will continue to do this, but only for that web page. To fix it I either have to back up a few pages, go to a different web page then I go back to the link I was trying to view. Does anyone else experience this and is there a possible fix for it?

I've asked this a few times in other threads and in the IRC channel, but have yet to get any response. I'm on a build of CM7 and would like to know of the best screenshot app out there right now. I used to use and love ShootMe until the dev pulled it and it stopped working altogether. I've been using the built-in CM7 screenshot tool in the meantime but it doesn't work at all for taking shots of games; I end up with just a black screen. There's a couple I've seen on the store but they're all paid apps, so I don't wanna just dive in and hope it fits my needs.

I'm interested in the Android ecosystem, and my long term goals are to eventually be in a position where I can actively contribute to AOSP/CyanogenMod or something like that. Obviously I can't just jump in and make a mess of things so to begin with, I thought I'd start with learning how to code Android applications. I would like my knowledge to be based on pretty solid foundations, so does anyone know any good resources to get me started with learning to program in Java and/or Android? Please note that I am deaf so Youtube/video/audio tutorials are of no use to me. Your help would be much appreciated.

Obviously I can't just jump in and make a mess of things so to begin with, Odette posted:I would like my knowledge to be based on pretty solid foundations, so does anyone know any good resources to get me started with learning to program in Java and/or Android? For Android app development, the developers site is pretty decent. Download the SDK and walk through some of the tutorials. I haven't bought any books on Android app development (haven't really needed to yet), but I like the Pragmatic Programmers stuff, so Hello, Android is probably what I'd pick up. All that in mind, Android platform (ROM) development is really a whole different beast. The framework side of it is still Java, and most of the APIs are the same as the application ones, but there's two big differences. First, you don't really need lots of application development experience to make contributing changes to Android itself. You're generally not going to introduce huge changes, but make a bunch of small ones. Usually there's already code in the framework that serves as a boilerplate for what you want to do, so it's a combination of copying/pasting and modifying it appropriately to do what you want. Thus, it's a different skill set than application design. The second issue is that the Android platform is huge. ICS is 18 GBish (if I'm remembering right) of source code alone. Platform development is almost exclusively done on Linux machines (in theory a Mac would work, but I don't think anyone does that in practice). It's also very large and, in some ways, unwieldy. It doesn't even fit inside a single Git repository, but rather is comprised of a few hundred repositories stitched together. I've never tried using Eclipse on the entire code base, I imagine it would choke, so knowledge of Linux command line utilities (find, grep, etc.) to "quickly" search through the sources is a huge help. That said, it's usually not too hard to figure out which package needs to be modified to implement some feature, which narrows the scope of the code you have to look at considerably. In short, Android app development is a fine thing to learn, but app development vs. platform development is mostly two different skill sets, so don't worry if you're not an app expert before diving into the other side.

There was one app I had on the iphone that had the tip, etc, but also let you easily split the bill by number of people. And also check if they split the total and tip or bill only. It was pretty nice for large parties

It requires a certain amount of abstract mental manipulation that not everyone has, and the people without it aren't necessarily dumb, just not able to toss around mental numbers.

Stupid Kindle app killed my phone last night. I fell asleep reading and the screen never turned itself off. If I hadn't woken up to use the bathroom I wouldn't have noticed and my phone alarm wouldn't have gone off. Would have sucked. Why is there no auto off option after say, 10 minutes of inactivity?

I have a feeling this is a pretty huge longshot, but does anyone know of an app that'll allow me to transcode my Nex5 1080p MP4/AVCHD videos to something smaller for youtube uploads? Will be travelling with my Transformer Prime, hoping there's something out there that'll put the Tegra3 to decent use.

It is fairly slick but it has a couple things I dislike. -- You can't delete a downloaded podcast from the player (if it is playing) or the playlist. -- The playlist auto-adds in downloaded order rather than staying in date order. -- There's no way to make it so the << and >> buttons in the player seek time-wise in the player. Skipping is handled via this odd, touch the left or right side of the image, but not in the middle because that makes the context icons appear and there's no long press menu. -- 5MB application that uses 41MB of RAM? I used to use Podkicker which was 270kb and used less than half the RAM. I only looked for alternatives when it stopped playing one of my podcasts accurately.

I have been using business calendar. There might be better calendars, but I found it to be better than the default gingerbread calendar. The new calendar app on ics looks really nice, so if you are running ics perhaps you want to give the default app another shot before possibly paying.

I really, really don't like how the latest Market version keeps a record of every single app I've installed, ever, under the 'All' tab in My Apps. I mean, at the very least I'd alphabetise the list or something; that would make a lot more sense than sorting by last install date. Ideally I'd like to be able to remove the 'xxxxx FREE VERSION' from the list, too; but as it stands currently it's frustrating to scroll through every single app ever, pick one, realise it's not the one I was looking for, hit back, and be dumped back at the top of the list again.

I guess if I actually rated everything I downloaded it might be a little more helpful, because it shows the stars underneath, presumably using your rating if it exists. I don't keep that much stuff on my phone but goddamn there's a shitload of stuff that has been on there at one point or another.

I played around with UberMusic on a friends phone the other day and was really impressed with it. Definitely see why everyone likes it so much. If it (or any other app) were able to access my Google Music account, I'd jump all over it.

Out of the box, only if you bought them from the Amazon app store, assuming the app is compatible with the Fire. You can root and put the Play store on there, and most things will work fine.
