How good are updates to apps on Amazon? My Appbrain is telling me there's an update to Gentle Alarm that I got from Amazon for free but there's no update via Amazon. I think the same goes for TweetCaster.

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
The updates come to Amazon a Tad bit later than the market or app brain. The market updated trillian and Amazon updated 2 weeks after the market did.
[EVO 4G General] trindy:
I haven't bought an app from them yet but I buy tons of other stuff from Amazon. A free app a day is a nice way for them to say thank you :)
[EVO 4G General] kbz405:
one question, if you get a free app of the day, then move to a new rom, or reformat/etc, can you redownload the free ones again since you "bought" them?
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Yes, the free apps are always linked to your Amazon login. I backup my Amazon apps with titanium and restore them whatever rom. I heard someone mention though that when you change roms the Amazon app thinks you're changing phones or something so you can only redownload them a total of 25 times lol. Not sure how true that is......

Totally agree. I've seen it on the market before but never purchased because I figured mahjong would suck on a phone. lol I think there's an ad supported version but I hate apps with ads so I always buy ad free or just skip if there's ads. I have to say I am really impressed.

What!!! The bucks is awesome I probably wouldn't make it throughout the day if I didn't get my morning coffee. Its expensive now but very worth it. I doubt I'd need an app for it lol.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
you haven't tried good coffee then. starbucks is crap. even mcdonalds beats them in taste tests.

go get a french press and a good grinder and stop buying your beans pregrinded and from the supermarket.

find some real kona, or blue mountain.

don't be afraid to buy expensive coffee beans, they are worth it.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Dude one of my buddies tells me that everyday he's like "you gotta get a French press dude its amazing" lol literally like every other day. There's a good columbian breakfast spot that has some kick ass fresh coffee but its out the way going to work. I might pick up a French press this month and give it a shot 6 bucks a day on coffee really adds up.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
a good grinder is invaluable for coffee as well, blade grinders trash the beans, when you can justify the expense pickup a burr grinder ~$100. it will make even crap beans taste "decent"

french presses are good for tea as well, get yourself a few ounces of loose leaves from a tea shop and try some of that too. i recommend Oolong. better than black and cheaper than green.

Anyone else having issues where it says that "Purchase Failed" and that you need to change the 1 click purchase settings? I've d/led many free Amazon apps and this is the first time I've had this issue. Tried it about 10 times.

edit: fixed it. It was telling me to change some 1 click settings so I went on my computer and made sure everything was fine there. It was. But if you go to the mobile version via the phone, the settings were actually completely different. I have no idea what was going on. It had 1 Click mobile as being turned off even though I was staring at the exact same setting on my PC's screen as being on. And the credit card info was old on the mobile version but up to date on the PC version. Very strange. I'm guessing something in their system got restored incorrectly today (or since I last did an Amazon app "purchase").
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Maybe it has something to do with your card attached to the account. When I lost my debit I got a new one and forgot to update my information with new card # and I got the same error. Although it doesn't charge you if it can't authorize it won't let you download.
[EVO 4G General] skyline247:
I had to change the device my account was attached to. I go through so many ROMS, there was a long list I had to "deactivate".

[EVO 4G General] Dan330:

first i have ever heard of this.

the last time i had issues with downloading apps from market... my SD card partition got messed up.

it still worked for normal usage... but I could not write anything to it. I could not take pics or create new files.

I had to repartition the sdcard. I could copy out the files just fine, before I did the repartition. (this wipes all your data off the card)

Sign into Amazon, go to Amazon App Store, Click on the "Your Apps & Devices" tab. Once on that page, look at the column on the right and it will display your devices. If your a flashaholic like me, it will list a bunch of Evo's. (HTC Evo, HTC Evo 1, HTC Evo 2, etc.) Sometimes I have to deregister them all when it states "Purchase Failed" and that I need to change the 1 click purchase settings. It's crazy I know, but gotta love Amazon.

@jeriel05 I got the update for Angry Birds Rio, with new levels. Some others I can't think off the top of my head right now, were updated as well.
[EVO 4G General] jeriel05:

I've used watch dog lite for a long time, just in case, to monitor apps.

Doesn't effect battery life and it's nice to be informed if an app is big a bad boy.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yeah, it's a decent app - can set it to alert when an app is maxing and passes a designated CPU level. Sort of like how System Panel has a 'task killer / manager' built in. But the better parts don't involve as much. If something is running away, get alerted and kill it. Sometimes my gReader Pro gets caught up and it can easily be killed. What's better; finding out after an hour or more that some app isn't sleeping / running like crazy, or being notified of as much immediately? So much more than a task killer. :)

get rom manager, clockwork reco and finally i get 2.3 on my u8300 and it is working fine, it is really light and clean (how to install google apps such gmail, maps etc?)

some bugs at the first impressions (notice that i am a newbbie and this is the first rom i try on android, so some bugs aren't a real bug but depend from my incompetence):

cannot pull up the notification panel

cannot find screen alignment utility

can't find add new google account (only new email)

the in call screen is always in portrait mode (so it is rotated by 90 degrees)

this is a very best starting point for developing this huawei device.

i'll wait to test newer build

thank you very much for your efforts!

sorry for my english, if u need more detailed reports please contact me in pm, so we could speak italian ^^
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TuoNonno:
thank you znial for your bug report :D

you can't pull down the notification panel because the touch is not aligned, and the main problem is that gingerbread don't use no more the tslib so there are not possibilities to align it manually trought a program. Align must be done by kernel side and this is so hard for me T_T but i'm working on it ^^

google apps need to be downloaded from market :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xZabuza:
but i have no market :(( any help ?

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] upperkingjr:
Is there a way to disable the home screen carousel?

When you have the flyer in landscape mod the two sides are squished in so your homes screen is smashed down to only a few widgets.

I loaded ADW EX... I like the capability to adjust the desktop column and rows...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IIJBII:
I would like to know the same thing. I dont care for the animations.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kkinder:
The problem I have is that I'll want to just advance on screen, but I'll fling to vigorously, and the home screens will spin out of control, requiring me to play a game of roulette where if I land on the screen I want, I get to use it... Or something. What were you thinking, HTC? The spinning isn't a useful feature.

Your best bet is to just use ADW or Launcher Pro.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rlabarca:
I've been using Launcher Pro since about 15 mins into owning the device. It's excellent, and makes much better use of widget real-estate. Jack the columns and rows up in the preferences, and you get to create very dense homescreens.

Also, with the separate tap, and swipe gestures for the dock icons, there are enough slots to add basically all the apps you use regularly.

The only downside I can see is that I can't seem to reconfigure the apps on the lock screen when I'm running Launcher Pro. I guess I have to switch back to the HTC launcher temporarily to do that.

Great tablet made better with this launcher.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
User error...

There's a remedy to this problem... "move" the screen, don't flick it.

Can't blame HTC on this one... I'd have to chalk this up to user error... :-) Some people may like desktop roulette.

Before I switched to ADW, I think you could stop the spinning by tapping on the screen you wanted... Oh well.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kkinder:
Well yeah the remedy is to adjust how I manipulate the device but my feeling is still that there isn't a use case for spinning the screens around. It's less usable because of it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jschlesinger:
Maybe there isn't a use case, but it sure is fun :)

I noticed this too and came to the forums for an answer, however I found my own answer.

I believe it's related to the apps with data stored on your SD card. When your phone boots up it takes awhile to check the SD card, by that time it's already checked for the icons for the programs in your games folder.

A quick solution is to hit the personalise button, then the first option marked Scene, change the scene, change it back and you get your icons back without having to drag them back out
[HTC Incredible S] Cricky64:
Had the same problem, for me closing the folder and reopening it solved the problem, but it is a pain!
[HTC Incredible S] c33v33:
You can also reload your launcher as well. If your HTC Incredible S is stock, just kill HTC Sense. It will restart automatically.
