It doesn't link to the market, so you have to got through amazon every time. This alone, is enough reason for me to shell out the extra $1.

I got swiftkey x for free, but haven't re-installed it because it I didn't back it up, and I don't feel like messing with amazon apps. Just earn the extra dollar at work -it the time spent will pay for itself :P
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Thanks for the heads up, tor new comers about it long time ago , but now I'm no trusting the amazon app store , they rip off developers and i don't think is right
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
XDA members don't care, they are so cheap there asses squeak when they walk. If they can't get it for free then they don't want it.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
I tried the app mentioned earlier and found it more difficult to use. Root Explorer works and it works good. It has been around a long time and is well respected and is well maintained. I also tried a free app called Total Commander which is supposed to have rw abilities, but I found it confusing and hard to use, so I was like f it, I'm just gonna buy Root Explorer. Checked on the Android Market $2.99, then checked on Amazon Appstore and it was on sale for $.99 so I bought it from them.

Not all apps are updated slower on Amazon. I have several Amazon Appstore apps and some of them update faster than the Market apps.

To the guy that says he won't use the Amazon Appstore because they ripoff devs, what are your sources on this? I would be interested in reading where devs have been ripped off.
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
I honestly think this was one of the very first apps I bought. Can you believe I paid full price? CRAZY!

It sucks for the free app of the day for developers but for the consumers I guess is good, but sometimes you have to think how much work they put into their apps
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
Actually, for a good app, the free app of the day deal is really good for the developer. It's advertising. Imagine, you write an app that is marked $3.99 and hardly anyone buys it so you don't really get any reviews. It hits the free app of the day deal and you get about 200 reviews. If they are positive and talk about how great the app is, when it is no longer free, people are more prone to buy it.

So don't feel too bad for devs on that deal. Without it, their app may never be purchased otherwise.

The only part that pisses me off are the idiots that think any good review of an app *they* don't like means its fake, so instead of rating the app what they truly feel they decide it is their moral imperative to "correct the balance" buy giving a decent app 1-star to counter someone 5-star app they think is fake.
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
Actually devs get a hefty percentage of the full cost of the app,paid directly from Amazon, when their app is chosen to be the daily free one. It's either 40 or 60 percent, but is usually a HUGE windfall for the developer. Personally, I get the free app every day, even if I have no plans to use them on any device of mine right now. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does that, and most of the time, they're apps I would NEVER have downloaded if they weren't free for me. The developers LOVE the free app system, 'money-in-their-pocket' wise.

And this is the reason why we have more ****ty apps in the android market , I like android a lot but my iPhone apps are better develop.and graphics too, and you are sharing a warez website dude
[HTC EVO 3D] Optimal Carnage:
Why not purchase the app then navigate to system, data, apps and copy the .apk to your sdcard go back to the market uninstall and get your refund...then go back and install the .apk from your card and voila you have the app. Thats what I do with root access!
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
See, it's tactics like that that make me want to ***** slap some people. The whole purpose of buying an app is to support the developer and encourage growth. These are not major companies producing these products. They're regular people like you and me with an idea. ****in support them if you like what they're doing.

And their prices are equivalent to a cup of coffee or a beer at the bar. It's not that bad.

As for the .99 for Root Explorer, it's a steal. Go get it! An excellent program for the price of a candy bar.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
That's not cool.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
Pathetic. You are so pitiful and poor that you would prefer to steal an app than pay $.99 for it? Are you kidding me? I bought the app even though I might only use it a few times.

As someone else kind of said about preferring Apple, its crap like this that keeps devs from porting apps or making apps for Android. You don't think they are on these forums and see you nutsacks trying to figure out ways to steal their work? You can talk crap about Apple all you want (and lord knows I do) but when you get down to it, their closed system makes things much safer and more profitable for developers. If I were a developer and getting into the mobile market, seeing a bunch of knuckleheads talking about ways they can pirate my software on Android would make me think twice about it.

Instead of spending $1.00 taking your girlfriend Suzie Rottencrotch to White Castle in the hopes of scoring some of her nasty tail, pay for your apps.
[HTC EVO 3D] kyouko:
Lmao this turned out to be a great thread :D

I don't see the point in arguing with cheap people though, they're not going to change their ways because someone gets all high and mighty and writes a whole page on the morality of it all.

If they haven't given it any thought with the last 50 apps they downloaded illegally, what makes you think your opinion will change their minds?

Just something to think about - not that I'm advocating warez. Personally I'm completely against it... When it comes to android apps at least <_< >_>

We develop File Expert for free because we want to provide a free alternative for some paid apps like Root Explorer, WiFi File Explorer Pro, Astro Pro and others. We know that those paid apps are great and are worth to buy, but we also think that users may need a free solution that does all the job done.

We DON'T collect any of personal information and we have no permissions to read any info like that. We will check new version info on startup, that's why you saw Internet connection on startup. Thank you.

File Expert is a free app, both price free and ads free. We don't want to make money from it.

Thanks for your support.

[HTC EVO 3D] sn0b0ard:
If you are who you say you are, then I must say that I am quite impressed with File Expert. I use it frequently for when I need to transfer over WiFi, and it really is (IMO) the best WiFi / http wireless sync / transfer available for Android. It is also a great File Manager too!. I also like the theme support. Root Explorer, as nice as it is, doesn't have theme support ;) Thank you for File Expert and for keeping it free :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
That's not necessarily true. You would be surprised at how stupid (in the sense of being ignorant on a topic) the average person is and when they read something they didn't think about before or never realized, they could change their mind.

Now granted there are a lot of people who it makes no difference with, but if you change at least one mind you are contributing to the solution and not ignoring the problem by keeping silent.

Ignoring problems is nearly as bad as perpetrating them.
[HTC EVO 3D] lidc1y5:
I set a reminder in calendar to download the free application everyday . I have found a several applications that I use everyday. I figure the developers get paid and I get to try a fully functional application for free. It's a win/win.

Except that they don't get paid, that was the original thing but now they are asking devs to do it for free. Check the link provided a few posts back.

I no longer buy apps in the amazon app store. I've purchased 3 apps and everyone of the receives updates days/weeks after the market.

I didn't mean to thank you, I bumped the button by accident. If you use the app more than a day, support the developer.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadly Sto(R)m:
Hi friends,

I want to buy a 32gb micro sd card but didn't decide to its class. As you know most of our sd cards have class 4 speed but i wonder if class 10 speeds up my desire z. I think i will move all my apps to sd. Would you buy class 10 and pay more or class 4 and pay less?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speeds

So no, in our case, there won't be a difference between using a Class 10 vs a Class 4. It would be in your best interest if you got a 32GB Class 4 and save the cash then get a Class 10 and not use the speeds you paid for.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadly Sto(R)m:
So which brand is the best for us? I don't want to pay more. I have searched eBay and found no brand oem cards which are cheap...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
Most electronic components are all made by several manufacturers. Companies buy from them and brand it as their own. Example: all consumer graphic cards for computers are either of nVidia or AMD/ATI. When you go shopping for one, however, there is Zotac, EVGA, Sapphire, BFG, Asus, etc.. but they're all just rebrands of the original.

My point being is that there is no such thing as 'best brand'. Sure some brands give you better warranty/service, but how much warranty/service are you going to need on a SD card? Just find the cheapest 32GB one you can find and take it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadly Sto(R)m:
I will keep your advices and buy an sd card which i found. Thank you for helping me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
DO NOT waste your time buying a Micro-SD card from eBay. Many of them are counterfeits, and you unfortunately have no way of telling the legit ones from the frauds. The counterfeits are skillfully mislabeled to depict higher Class and GB capacity then they actually are capable of, and will even report the "wrong" GB capacity on your phone or PC. For instance, a 2 GB card will be misrepresented as 32 GB, and even say on your phone and PC that its 32 GB. But when you actually try to move files, it will be okay until the 2 GB is used up, then you will get an error.

If you look around the Accessories subforum, you will find several posts by different folks who have been ripped off this way. Stick to legit vendors. Not sure who you have available in your area. But Newegg is reliable, does not sell counterfeit goods, and have excellent customer service if a return is needed for some reason.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Your video card example is not correct. While Nvidia supplies the GPU chipset and has a reference design for the card, the manufacturers you mention almost always diverge from the reference design, and come up with their own card layout, cooling solutions, and do the remainder of the manufacturing.

And while SD memory is probably only actually manufactured by a finite number of several companies, it doesn't mean that they are all the same quality. I've used at least 3 different cards from Sandisk, with no issues, and many other Sandisk buyers will tell you the same. If you read posts from people with SD issues, its almost always from the lesser known, cheaper brands (or counterfeits bought on eBay, as I mentioned in my post above). My recommendation is Sandisk.

You can try for cheaper brand to save a few bucks, and you will probably be fine. But the difference in cost is not significant to me, compared to the potential hassle of losing my data and having to exchange SD cards due to problems. Better to spend a little more, and never have to worry about such things.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
The main thing you can do to get a better Sprint WiMax signal is to go outside. It just doesn't work very well indoors. I'm not serious about actually walking outside just to use 4G, but unfortunately am serious when I say that the frequency Sprint/Clear uses is just too high to get inside well.

I'm on CM right now, so I can't go hunting for a similar value in the Evo's EPST. It probably would increase the battery drain when using 4G though, if it even really works at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3VIOUS:
Going outside isn't gonna work for me, reason being I'm trying to use 4G tethering for my xbox.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
I wasn't really being serious about going outside...i'm just saying Sprint's 4G network doesn't work that well inside unless there's a tower in your backyard.

Also, latency on WiMax will be pretty bad, which matters for gaming. You'll get killed a lot. :)

Be more specific please

Please refrain your question and be more specific. Remember this is a beta build or in your case (RTM build 7720) afterall, and only few apps and games take advantage of multitasking at the moment.

I'm running Mango RTM 7720 and multitasking is fine, much smoother and quicker than the first Mango beta build released in July and it will only get better once its approved by OEMs and network carriers.

RTM 7720 - Gmail syncing issues

Just updated my HTC HD7 to the RTM 7720 build yesterday by starting with a clean install from NoDo and everything went fine.

However, I seem to be having some trouble trying to set up Gmail. I have tried a few time to set it up but it keeps telling me "Attention required" under Settings (Email+accounts) - Gmail.

When I click on it it says the following "Update your information for m.google.com and press Save". I tried that on the browser but it takes me to the mobile version of Gmail and its not helpful at all.

Has anyone else come across this issue? If so, any solutions...???

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PieOfJustice:
I had that problem too. This morning it was gone. Maybe try again? It was perhaps on Google part that things didn't work.

As stated each app much be updated with a single line of code to make MT work in Mango. The Marketplace will not allow apps to have this code at the moment. Thus most apps not working with MT.

Really? I suppose instead of acting like a douche (Most users do) and telling you to use Search, I can tell you that you hold down the Back button on your phone.

PS: Use search. Most users wont be so kind.

[Desire General] dgattenb:
I've had my Desire now for a while , I thought It was long in the tooth and so I looked for another phone.

However before I did that ,some guys at work got a Sensation and some one else got a Tab 10.1 tablet .

I put my phone next to the Sensation ( which has stock effects etc ) my phone won .. scrolling going from landscape to portrate and a few more tests, mine was always faster .

I did the same test on the tablet .. mine was faster .

Granted they have stock and I have a leedriod rom .. but surely that should not make it viably different on a new phone / tablet ?

They have twice the power than mine...

Granted they are better at games / media etc but on day to day use the Desire wins...

I will get a new phone when my contract runs out ... but for now .. I'm a wee bit confused.
[Desire General] bbgmp:
Might be down to your custom ROM. I've seen a performance boost in my Desire since moving to Leedroid. I'd be interested to see how a stock Desire compares.

You didn't really solve the problem.

Here's the easy way... get a small fm-transmitter. "you can pick them up for cheap"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_transmitter_(personal_device)

Plug it into your pc.

Now use the FM-Radio on your phone. ;)

I looked for apps that might allow for bluetooth or wifi audio to be transmitted to your phone but so far nothing.

Also please post questions in the Q&A pages.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
You could probably use vlc to stream the movie from the computer to the phone and then wear the headphones, the phone would still play the movie but you don't have to look at it.

It would take some setting up but it could be done. I have used vlc to stream my tv-card over the network using dvschedular but it would be difficult for me to say you need to do x,y and z as everyones networks are different.

As well as getting the video/audio streamed you then have to find an app to play it...

Hi,

yes there is a trail and no, it doesn't really work. The sound is 3 seconds to late.

I think my network is to slow...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] OmegaRED^:
It's due to the time it takes to encode, transmit and decode.

The best option you will find is the one i offered.

and a fm transmitter will be cheaper than vnc application.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] norbi_nw:
ooor, there is a very fast way to remove sound from movies (split audio and video). Put audio to mobile, start movie on pc and sound on phone. That way it even conserves battery (no WIFI or net required) on phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] OmegaRED^:
That may cause audio sync problems.

It also means you have to split every movie you watch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchelln:
Hi.

I've noticed that my 1280x720 h264 48KHz AAC 2700Kbit MP4 videos that play fine on 3.1 with the hardware decoder now won't play with 3.2. I get the dreaded "Sorry, this video cannot be played" popup.

I downgraded to 3.1 and the videos play again. Went back to 3.2 and they stopped. Something has definitely got broken in 3.2. Seems to have lost either h264 or AAC hardware acceleration. This is a major break :(

I raised a ticket with Asus, but unfortunately got a fob off answer:

"I am sorry to hear that you are facing difficulties with your Eee Pad.

A data wipe may need to be performed. Please back up all of your personal information before proceeding."

Just to humour them I did this with 3.2 installed and it doesn't restore hardware playback. I've pinged them back asking them to escalate to the relevant engineering team. Not heard anything back so far.

The trouble is that the soft decode players simply can't handle HD files at a decent frame rate, so it's 3.1 for me until Asus fix it.
