[Nexus One General] distortedloop:
LOL. Yeah, it is big. I just visited that site vonapets url'd and compared all my current phones (N1, SGS, Nexus S, Galaxy S II, Thunderbolt, Droid Charge) to the Galaxy Nexus: http://www.phone-size.com/?s=12,13,65,7,85,3 , and it's not much larger, and actually ~25% thinner, than the largest of my phones (the Charge) which fits easily in my slacks and jeans front pockets. Someone wearing painted on jeans might have issues I guess.

The Charge and SGS II are just a little too large for my hands to use comfortably one-handed. My thumb can't reach the bottom left of the phone without putting it in a precarious balanced position. The big 4.3" screens are great, though. I'm afraid the new Nexus might cross that threshold of being to big to be practical for me, but I'll still probably get one. LOL

Thanks for the link.
[Nexus One General] monkeyhatchet:
This attitude. Now that everyone has read a few articles on sensor technology it seems EVERYONE feels the need to school people on cameras.

Yes, it's true, MP doesn't have that much to do with it. But the Galaxy Nexus camera is piss poor. It produces results almost identical to the NS camera, which i feel was essentially the same as the N1 before it. Look how far mobile cameras have come in the HTC titan and the iPhone 4S. For a flagship phone in this price range, this is simply unacceptable. For Samsung, even moreso as the shooter in the GS2 is much better. No wonder people make the 5MP 8MP comparison.

People need to stop being apologetic towards companies, and start calling them out on their mistakes. The processor in the Galaxy Nexus is acceptable, but the GPU is really not up to par with today's superphones. The plastic case construction is an improvement over the fisher-price NS, but still cheap garbage compared to the designs of HTC and Apple, yet they charge the same price.

Enough. Stop trying to school people and school the companies instead. It's the only way we'll get better products.
[Nexus One General] Signfang:
Wow, truly it is big.

I'd prefer 4.3 kind of inches though.
[Nexus One General] veehexx:
to big.

for me, 3.7" is perfect. big enough to be usable, but small enough to be able to touch the entire screen easily single handedly.

imo these super large screens are going into mini tablets, which is another market all together.
[Nexus One General] DemonXX:
A giant big phone. Looks like a bigger plastic toy to me. Samsung is never a sort of mfg which embraces a metal case.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluenadas:
I believe this is on the kindle list of apps....I think I saw it under the newsstand items
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukenova:
I just tried to install this on my thunderbolt. It told me I didn't own the app and sent me to the amazon app store. Then it said I couldn't "buy" the app (its free) in this device.

Can someone get us around this?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
Ahh never mind. You pay for a subscription after you download it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukenova:
its a free app. i don't see how allowing me to use it on another android device would be pirating. I have a subscription to the WIRED print magazine. I'm not asking for illegal access to the magazine content. I just want to be able to use their app on my phone.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycnam:
Can you also put the TIME magazine?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downscj:
First, go to the Amazon app store online. Search for the Wired magazine app there and buy it there. It will warn you that none of your available devices support the app. Go ahead and buy it anyway (since it is free). You can now launch the app. You'll need a Wired Magazine account and Adobe air for it to work.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecuellar:
I tried. I enter my subscription number, and ask me to sign in. Unfortunatelly, there is no sign in screen, button.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gd1147:
I believe you have to register by clicking on the banner saying "Already a subscriber" after that you should then be able to log on using the email address you register with by clicking the tiny Sign In link above the banner on the top left corner.

I have been using this app on the iPad for months and I can access all the issues I own in paper and have the ability to buy past issues beyond my paper subscription. On the fire app I can only access issue 19.11 and after 19.12 arrived in the mail I could download it on the ipad but not on the fire. Anyone else with this experience?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecuellar:
I already did that (registered), but I never get the Sign In link. I have the iPad subscription too. And same as you, I can get (on the ipad), the December one.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikebeatrice:
Since this seems to be the charity thread.... any chance someone could post the Entertainment Weekly app? It's another that still requires a separate subscription but the app is only available to kindle fire in the amazon store. Already tried the route of getting it through the web app store but it was no dice.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordsofletterbox:
You sign in at the top left of the wired app main page. It's up at the very top.

Also this thread has nothing to do with Android Development, please use some consideration when creating threads. There is a section under Amazon Kindle Fire called Themes and Apps, this thread should have went there instead of cluttering up the Android Development. Granted it's not a major foul but please just use some common sense people.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TascoKid:
Muchas gracias! I wasn't able to download this directly from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" for some reason. I downloaded it to my hackintosh and copied it to the SD card, and installed it from there, once the mandatory Adobe Air installed first. It complains every time I open it or start a download of an issue, but I just hit "quit" each time. Log in worked, and I can now download and read Wired on my Tab! Yahoo...! The January and February 2012 issues are 126 and 178 MB each, but the December and November '11 issues are 371 MB and 261 MB respectively! And I'm sure that's their compressed size. Those must be the only Android-compatible issues because that's all that shows up in the library. On my GF's iPad I see everything available since my subscription started.

Correction: the warning dialog only comes up when I start the app and try to log in. Once I've cancelled the dialog viewing the issues is perfect.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slshults:
On my Motorola Xoom running Virtuous Inquisition v3 (ICS) I can register, and I see the little red arrow pointing up, with the phrase "Already have access? Sign in above" but there is nothing above the arrow. The word "Wired" appears in the center of the bar at the top, and there's a gear-shaped menu icon in the upper-right, but the only item on the menu is "Restore all purchases" which does nothing but bring up the incorrect "No internet connection" message.

So close, yet so far away. You'd think Conde Nast could afford to hire decent Android Devs.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordsofletterbox:
That's very strange, I have a button on the very opposite side of the top as where the gear appears tphats labled "sign in" I don't understand what's preventing you from seeing it. Like you said the gear is in the top right and the sign in button is on the top left. Idk but I wish you luck in solving this mystery. If I could figure out how to get a screen shot, I would show you where it is.

Actually I did figure out how to make a screen grab and this is what the app is supposed to look like.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slshults:
It's not that strange really. You're on a Kindle Fire, one of only two Android devices the app is developed for. I'm on a device they've not developed or tested for. My bar with "Wired" and the gear menu icon looks just like yours, but without the "Sign In." It's just not there. Effective way of preventing it from being used on devices you don't want it used on.

What I don't understand is why they chose the itty bitty Fire and Nook screens but don't want me using it on my 10" Xoom screen. Not to mention the fact that the fire has been out for less than 3 months while the Xoom was the first Android 3.0 tablet. *sigh*

Almost working on Tab2 7"

Just adding my experience because that I SORTA got this working on a Galaxy Tab2 7.0

On stock ICS rom, italian edition (if that matters), no root

What I did:

Downloaded the apk from this thread & installed it

The app complained that I did not have the amazon store installed, so I followed the link and installed it.

Now it still complains that I don`t "own" the application, but *if* the amazon store is open at the same time, even pressing quit keeps the app running.

But don`t get your expectations too high. There are countless bugs. Sometimes it does not detect the correct screen orientation, sometimes it fc's, once it resetted the device. But I did not have the problem of the sign in button not appearing, though it was impossibile to enter l&p with the Swift keyboard I am using.

Anyway, hope it helps.

THANKS!

Never saw that other post. I appreciate the info.

I got it installed on my N7 and downloaded one of the issues. Holy crap @ 317MB. I guess alot of that is the special interactive stuff.

I only spent about 5 minutes looking at the one issue, since I had to charge it, but I have to say I am very impressed. Easy to read, interactive content, animations on some of the stuff (ie: the cover page), etc. I don't see any black bars on mine - what are you referring to? I did have a hard time trying to get the menu working after I logged in and started reading an issue. Had to hold down the left side for a couple seconds and then let go in order for it to pop up.

It works so well, for me so far at least, on the N7, that I'm even more pissed off at Conde Naste/Wired for not releasing it officially. Bunch of asses.

So I'm from Belgium, Europe but am going to study at Northwest Missouri State University from January till the end of April, but of course I need a mobile provider while I'm there, but since I know **** about the carriers in the USA, and well, websites of the carriers don't always mention everything, I'm just asking you guys, which mobile provider and/or plan should I take for those 5 months?

I don't care if it's prepaid or a contract or whatever, as long as it stops after 5 months.

I've got a HTC Sensation, so would like some data with that.

Thanks in advance for responding!
[Networking] fryrice8850:
then ur only choices here in the USA is T-Mobile or At&t. If u like to pay more u can go to att and can get 3G data due to the tmobile us frequency is 1700 so you may only get EDGE speed. But with tmobile prepaid cost $50 a month for unlimited talk text and data (i believe 2GB).

your not going to be able to get contact cuz u need a SS# and credit.

He needs a carrier that uses GSM. Verizon and Sprint are not the droid your looking for.
[Networking] petemt:
It doesn't matter if it uses gsm or wcdma i bought my sensation on ebay from usa, it was branded and stuff, so i think it would work with any provider in usa.
[Networking] dmchssc:
You won't actually be able to use Verizon or Sprint with the Sensation because CDMA technology requires completely different radios. To be able to use either standard, your phone would have to be a (what CDMA providers in America call) "world phone", like the iPhone 4S or the Motorola Photon.

Since you already have a phone, you could do either a T-Mobile value plan or a Simple Mobile unlimited plan. Both run on T-Mobile's network, so the coverage should be exactly the same. T-Mobile isn't the absolute best carrier, so I'd check coverage in the area that you'll be spending the most time in. However, T-Mobile's 4G and 3G speeds are pretty good, and better than AT&T (the only major GSM alternative) in most places. I have no idea how (or even if they offer them) AT&T's SIM card-only plans work.
[Networking] petemt:
Thanks, I search some more and found this page:

http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans

So the unlimited web & text with 100 minutes talk $30 plan would be perfect?
[Networking] mentalcase:
Even though I feel they are the better carrier, AT&T likely wouldn't be a viable option as their prepaid plans do not support smartphone as well as the others.

Postpaid could be an option, but they would likely want a cash deposit since you lack a social and credit history.
[Networking] :
yes but NOTICE AFTER 2G tmo slows your data but ur school must have wifi networks built in so that wouldn't really be a problem and u can enable wifi calling at the store (free calls) or use google voice to call

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omrij:
"Though we were hoping that it would be different, the Galaxy Nexus still has that slight laggy effect that we've seen on other Android phones. Indeed, you'll notice it here when scrolling through lists. It is better than we've seen on previous models, so it doesn't ruin the touch interface, but you do notice the difference when switching from an iOS or Windows Phone 7 device."

I thought Hardware Acceleration will line up android smoothness with IOS and WP7 :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Funny, every video I've ever seen of it, the interface looks smooth as anything out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toss3:
It probably doesn't have anything to do with "lag" as it appears on non-hardware accelerated devices, but with the touchscreen not being sensitive enough(trails finger). This can and will be tweaked(just look at the SGS2). Also I wouldn't trust CNET that much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
I'm not even sure if they have even the slightest basis for stating that, like they claim that they have eliminated the learning curve in some aspects, but re-created it in others. I can't really see where they've done that.

I also disagree with that it's "Just another Android device" without ICS, it's true that it's definitely not anything like the Nexus One when it was released, but i will say that the screen, no buttons and zero-shutter lag(That is a hardware thing, right?) does atleast differentiate it from every other android phone out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Most of her complaints stem from the fact that it's not obvious that swiping left and right does things.

This is really pretty ridiculous. Once you learn this motif, it's consistent across a lot of stuff. It's a very slight learning curve that brings an enormous amount of utility. She's complaining that it has a learning curve at all, which is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody would want to use a device that has zero learning curve - it would take forever to do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
You can tell from their tone that they just don't like the Galaxy Nexus.

"GPS features performed well, though we were a little wary given the GPS issues that have plagued previous Samsung Galaxy devices."

"Just keep in mind that the Galaxy Nexus has just 32GB of internal memory."
