I dunno about the price, I bought it ages ago for less than 2 bucks.

The stock one is likely just the stock Android player. Sony's Walkman pedigree should shine in the DAC if it shines anywhere.

thisdude23 posted:I currently use JuiceDefender free on my Nexus S 4G but it's not really working the way it did when I had my Evo 4G. I'm not sure if it's because it's not compatible with ICS or what though. With that said, should I purchase the Ultimate program or look into a different one? Is there anything out there that's better? I just want something that will work well on my phone. Thanks.

Is there anything that can stream my TV tuner from my PC other than Orb? They seem to update way too infrequently for me to spend $10 on (in addition to the fact that I already spent $10 in the iOS store).

You run a server at home and serve your media out. It's $.99 right now on the Amazon App Store.

Has Google ever said why the G+ Messenger is only available on your phone? It seems like it would make a great GTalk client.

I thought Talk and Messenger were the same thing, when I have a Talk window open on a Gmail page, and I open my Stream page, a duplicate Messenger window (with all the same dialog in it, but in weird colors) opens on the Stream page. Thermopyle posted:Not that I know of, but it's typical of Google to have fragmented product offerings like that. Speaking of which, I ran into this today: why can't I email people from a Google+ page, or from my G+ friends list, or their profile? Had to go back to Gmail -> Compose to get it done.

The biggest thing about the new G+ version is hangouts now actually ring your phone just like a normal call coming in. Not quite as simple as the facetime button on the dial screen of the iPhone - but it has the advantage of being able to do group video chats.

AlexDeGruven posted:Messenger used to be huddles. Still different than Talk within G+. Well, I'm a newcomer in that I never even saw Huddles, but these appear to be the same thing. The handoff is seamless and the Messenger doesn't have any additional functions or buttons over the Talk window other than colored text.

The Google+ Website IM window is Google Talk (GTalk/Talk) and not the Google+ Messenger/Huddles on your Android/iOS phone. If you start a Messenger (has a red icon) IM session on your Android phone the only way to answer it is through your phone or by SMS if you don't have Google+ on your Android or iOS phone. Huddles was what Messenger was called a year ago when Google+ was released.

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up, I didn't even realize there was a phone Messenger/Huddles, I thought this discussion extended from Talk for phones.

Does anybody have any experience with any of the dozen or so "remote wi-fi/bluetooth mouse and keyboard" apps? Any recommendations? I have my tv connected to my pc and it would be nice not to have to get up every time I want to pause a movie.

My bluetooth speakerphone will not automatically connect to my phone when its in range, I have to actively press a button on the speakerphone, or I assume connect to it via the bluetooth menu on my phone. Is there a tasker option available that will automatically do this for me? Because I always forget to connect it manually and end up missing a call because I feel the phone vibrating in my pocket a few seconds to late.

It was brought up once before but kind of glossed over, but Solid Explorer Beta really is the best file explorer on Android. The only thing that Estrongs does better is built in media players, but Solid Explorer has so many nice features that it's worth switching.

It doesn't hurt that it's free. EDIT: XBMC's official remote is also really nice, with the caveat that XMBC is all it controls. gucci mangosteen fucked around with this message at 23:45 on May 24, 2012 |

I have old versions of flash and some other things installed from apk. These things now show up in my play store my apps and want to update all the time. Some kind of trick to delink them from market? I thought I'd heard titanium could do something but not seeing any option that sounds right. Failing that is there at least a way I could get them moved down to the manual updates where permissions changed apps are at?

I think the newest Market update scans the apps you have and checks them against which you've purchased/installed from there. Back when they were doing the 10 cent sales I wrote to Support about apps I'd gotten from Amazon, et al being shown as "purchased", so I couldn't buy them again from a more reliable market. They wrote me an email about a month ago telling me that bug was fixed, and it seems that any app I install from anywhere else won't show up in my update list. I'm betting that if you detach something from the Market now it just re-attaches it as part of that system of checks.
