We have some fixes for the post-failed issue in the upcoming release, assuming they test OK.


I haven't seen that in quite a while, hmm. Could you PM me your device info and Facebook ID, and I'll get someone to see if there's anything in the soft error logs?

There are about nine things wrong with the Engadget article, but the work is coming along really well. I prefer it to the iOS app in some ways, even with the Android keyboard penalty. Android sure does fight you on making a smooth app, though...

I think I sent you a PM. I'm using the Awful app, and it acted a bit weird, so I'm not 100% sure it went through. If you didn't get it, let me know and I'll resend it from the site.

If you still care about launchers it looks like ADW Launcher just had a massive update to version :siren:1.3.3.7:siren:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSyfaQoTbmo

The new ADW is awesome, except it won't default on startup for my Nexus S. My home button still takes me to the desktop, but everytime I reboot my phone I have to select the default app. Works fine until I reboot again, and then it loses the default.

I uninstalled the launcherpro (don't use it) and tried to clear the defaults for the android launcher, but there were none. If I set the android launcher as default it doesn't ask, but if I set ADW as the default it seems to reset every time.

Anybody got a good wireless tether app that works on JB devices? FoxFi doesn't work for anything above ICS yet, and I just upgraded my Verizon GS3 to a JB rom.

I hope after I die people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money."

I'm looking for the best video player that's better than the default one that comes with 4.0 ICS on a Galaxy S3. It has to be able to play video streams and have a large buffer(is this possible?) to compensate for a 3G network that fluctuates often but doesn't drop connection.

To be more specific, the default media player will play video streams but cuts out infrequently. I know this site I frequent is set to low quality mobile. I'm looking to try other, better players.

I couldn't get any of those apps to work when I was first trying to tether my Gnex to my Nexus 7. I eventually found the built in tethering option and that worked fine. I don't think that's on ICS though.

I think Barnacle worked for me at one point when I was tethering to a laptop.

I use Power Toggles to just turn the stock tethering options on and off. I've gotten iPads hooked up to my VZW SGS3 both via Wifi hotspot, as well as bluetooth, both on stock 4.0.4 touchwiz, and on CM10. You can configure them in your system settings, but it doesn't do the "subscription check" unless you try to enable them in the system settings. Power toggles turns them on/off without that check.

Is there such a thing as a camcorder app that can run in the background? It would be nice to mount my phone to the dashboard to be a GPS and dashcam at the same time.

Nothing that isn't clearly intended for skeevier purposes than you have in mind, sadly. I went looking for something similar to try to catch someone who was stealing snacks from my desk and I didn't feel comfortable installing anything I found on my phone.

Will android even let you use the camera without having it be onscreen? That just seems like a massive privacy issue whether you want to do it or not.

It's available for ICS and I think earlier versions. That's what I got my mom to do with whatever galaxy phone she has (it's a couple years old) when she got her tablet and found out it's wifi only.

Wow. Free, no ads, and an incredibly robust feature set. Thanks pal, I was losing my mind trying to actually search the app store.

:lol: you can set it up to only save the video recordings if the phone accelerometer detects a car crash.

Edit: Are we being sarcastic about Google engineering? I could imagine if they have a huge staff but are just spread really really thin. These are the guys that have cars driving themselves, right?

Maybe you need to update the Music app on your phone, I did that first. Then I did the site signup, but when I ran Music it had a similar 'LET'S DO THIS THING' process so I think it's connected to the app somehow. Basically update that and see!

It's slow for me too. Definitely not "real time". Then again, being a Bills fan, gently caress the NFL google now scorecards.

I'd somehow completely missed the fact that it's a music store as well as a cloud music host / player. :downs:

Now that I know, I might use it for music purchases depending on how it stacks up to other legal MP3 sources.

It's ok. On average they use the standard pricing iTunes and Amazon does but there are instances of Google being more expensive. I tend to use the new Wishlist thing if I find Google at a higher price and check it ever few days to see if anything I wanted came down in price.

Today I made the move from WP7 to Android (Samsung SIII). I've been configuring it for 45 minutes now and still need some help. Can anybody reccommend some free widgets/applications which would display new e-mails + calendar + alarm on lock screen? Plus is there any decent tool for aggregating LinkedIn and Twitter feeds in one tool? And all e-mail accounts in one box? Basically what I'm missing is WP lock screen, people tile and linked inboxes functionality.

E: Managed to figure out linked inboxes, now just need a decent social aggregator and lockscreen widgets :)

Google haven't been doing a very good job letting it known to be honest.

I've personally gotten to a time in life where I feel I should start buying up my large pirated back catalog of music. I haven't actually downloaded any music for probably over a year but have been unhappy with the current options to start doing it before now. My ideal would be a music version of steam but Google will have to do.

I still think albums are a little too expensive though.
