SwiftKey was $1.99 over Thanksgiving Weekend, Lol. Where were you?

Yea, I was pissed seeing it for $0.10, but not a biggie.

I also already have Read It Later Pro and Beautiful Widgets. I bought SoundHound and GLWG, and SketchBook. Oh, and the Sports Tracker app. That seems like it may be useful in the future, so why not get it while it's cheap :P

AirSync looked Useful until I realized it requires DoubleTwist client and only Syncs iTunes stuff. I uninstalled iTunes from my PC and tend to use my Vibrant as my main media player now, because it has built-in MTP support and syncs Natively with Windows Media Player (I don't think many people realize the Galaxy S phones can do this! Video, Pictures and Music!) over USB without having to use USB Mass Storage Mode - that is probably why Samsung never bothered to release Kies in the US... Almost all Windows PCs here come with WMP preloaded, anyways... So I'm skipping it.

I might get Fruit Ninja. I'm not a fan of loading my phone up with huge downloads, though :P I already have it on my iTouch, though... I read some reviews complaining about sluggish performance, but they never mentioned what device they were trying it on. I think the GPU in this phone is more than capable of handling that, though, Lol...
[Vibrant General] jneal9:
Haha. Just haven't looked at the Market lately I guess. I grabbed Minecraft as well since if they handle it like on the PC it will only get better with updates. I've had Fruit Ninja for a while and it runs great. No sluggishness at all. I'm excited to see what they have the rest of the 10 days now...
[Vibrant General] Woody:
New list is out. OP updated
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I installed Amazon Appstore to get the free Pocket Informant, then uninstalled it and realized the apps from there have a DRM in them that don't let them run if their Appstore isn't installed. I got rid of everything immediately, Lol.

Not hard feelings, though. That Pocket Informant app has like 100k configuration options, and I didn't want to deal with that, anyways...

Hopefully Google gives it away soon, though, haha... I snagged ADW. One day I may try it and see how it runs. I don't want to now, though, cause I like some of the Stock TouchWiz widgets... I heard it lacks some of the UI latency in TouchWiz, though...
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
Thanks for keeping us updated on the market sale's! Hopefully Titanium Backup Pro will pop-up as one of the 10-cent apps. (Fingers Crossed)
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Do you need to be rooted to install/run/use that? I'd like to Freeze/delete Gogo, TeleNav, WiFi Calling, Kindle, Layar, Slacker, etc.
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
Yes

Sent from my SGH-T959 (Samsung Vibrant)
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Bah... Don't wanna have to do that. I guess I'll just suffice... I hate how half of those apps auto start when the phone boots, though... It's really pissing me off because they take up RAM and cause my other apps to get shut down when I background them. WTB moar RAM lol

My roomate installed ADW Launcher EX and had one of the biggest stutters/lags/freezes I've ever seen on a smartphone when I asked him to press the home key while he was in an app. I don't think I'm gonna touch try that, Lol.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
If the only reason to Root your phone is to get Titanium Backup it is well worth it, if only to give you a piece of mind that you can back up every app on your phone and have multiple versions of an app if you ever want to resort back b/c update was a little bit wonky. Yes, I said wonky. And you can always kill most of the autostart apps the are taking up RAM but I recommend rooting your phone. It brings you to a whole new level.

As for ADWex, I have had it for over a year and it is my go-to launcher. It is a bit more memory hungry that LauncherPro but I like it just the same. The recent update was a little buggy. I had to uninstall and then reinstall it b/c of a crash. This is where Titanium Backup comes into play. I just restored an earlier version that I knew worked well. Uninstalled and wipe update and then reinstalled the update and all is good. As for the lag, the new update takes about 15mins to settle down on initial install but after that, no lag at all.

OP updated with today's list.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Marketplace is totally broken today. Can't update or download any apps. App purchases fail and even when you try to refund, it fails so if you buy something that isn't on sale better make sure you want it before you click purchase...

Stuck in a loop trying to start app downloads, destroying my battery in the process...
[Vibrant General] neotoky:
This is happening to me too. It's actually happening to a lot of people. I have checked other forums and people are having the same issue. Hopefully it gets fixed soon because I need my 10 cent fix.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I'm almost over the 10 cent sale. They have Shazam up when they had SoundHound the other day... And 90% of the apps they're giving away are games.

Not that I'm complaining. I'm glad I got some free games to have a bit of fun and burn some time on commutes :P

I'd like some productivity tools, though...
[Vibrant General] hkfan:
today's offerings are useless
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Jelly Defense is a GREAT game.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I always wanted Need for Speed, but never wanted to pay for it... So I got that and a few other games... If I end up uninstalling them, no skin off my back. They're basically free anyways, even though with millions of people buying them they're prolly still making bank LMAO
[Vibrant General] Woody:
I can't get nfs to show up in the market. Anyone else have this problem? My permissions are set to allow all and cleared cache and data already.
[Vibrant General] himanshunegi1987:
Got charged twice

someone help me

I am from India. I bought NFS:Shift for 10 cent. I think i got charged double.

Look at

1)for Rs 51.71 in Google.com/ch at google on 2011-12-10:09:40:41

2)for Rs 05.17 in Google.com/ch at google *EA Mobile on 2011-12-10:09:40:56

Got this on as sms from my Bank. When i login to Google wallet it just shows 2nd one.

Whts is 51.17 cahtge ?

SOmeone plz explain.

Thank you
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
It's just ten cents...
[Vibrant General] hkfan:
Why one say 5 and other 51... Did you get two invoices?
[Vibrant General] Woody:
OP update however only a partial list is out now. Seems like this is more of a game promo. Wish Google would put more productivity or media apps in there.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
It's all games. -___- I'm waiting for the titanium backup.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Games and Live Wallpapers FTW?

I mean, I got a lot of them, but I uninstalled most. I guess I'm getting them just in case I end up wanting them, since they're basically free...

But why the apparent lack of productivity apps?

P.S. I do not appreciate developers who install their Apps to my SD card by default. Is there a way to disable App2SD so that applications cannot do that?
[Vibrant General] thloh85:
Glad I knew about this a few days back and started Christmas shopping :D
[Vibrant General] xxhtownutzxx:
Cool thanks for the info. Didn't even realize it the few times I entered market earlier, lol.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
More games and redundant apps... Le sigh...
[Vibrant General] ImageOmega:
I love that I've bought 10 apps and have only payed $1 total.

Any way around the apps that aren't compatible with the Vibrant according to the Market? I saw on market.android.com that a Breaker game was available, but I can't download it because it's apparently not compatible with the Vibrant. Some other games now are listed that way, but I definitely downloaded them and played them before (like Backstab HD).

And, what happens if I get a new phone! I'll purchase for my future devices. =)
[Vibrant General] Woody:
You can change your build.prop to reflect a different phone. It is a little advanced though.

I am buying apps for future phones/tablets too. As long as you login into the Market with your Gmail account, you can download a purchased app for, I presume, ever. Once you buy it, it is yours as long as you are on Android.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
Swiftkey is back for you JNeal9. Just an fyi

OP is updated with today's list
[Vibrant General] illego:
I know its only 10c but most of the apps offered have either been free on Amazon app of the day or currently free on Getjar.com. Just in case anyone wants to save a buck.

I agree. If you haven't got this one, do it. Especially if you have a tablet.

I just updated the OP. Some cool things over the past 10 days, but kind of a disappointment to me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sarpsuerdas:
I wonder if anyone in UK have received the official honeycomb update for the Flyer?

I have been waiting for it for the past 24 hours, unfortunately eventhough I am constantly checking there is no update. Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advance.

trick it?

nothing here either..is there any way to use proxies to trick the flyer into feeling its in the netherlands?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bazman70:
Best to root and install a hc ROM from here, can then use honeybar to lose the bottom bar as well as the usual benefits
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] adaimespechip:
I manually installed it using hboot.

If someone can find vpn/proxy settings for either France or Holland and enter them into the vpn settings you can trick your flyer into thinking its in one of those places and you should be able to download the update.

UPdate Honeycomb UK

Got my update today for flyer quick ten min impression...I think the flyer is slower after the update...just seems to take that little more time to do things...the honeycomb bar at the bottom does make it feel like you lost alot of real estate...pen i like its more useful and works better...cant see the hard touch button when lookin except the pen one which is good as it doesnt look silly having buttons showing that you cant use...on the whole i like....dont mind the soft buttons and bar...just wish certains things ie browser would open up and cover the soft buttons and bar..so you could see more browser....video play seems to turn off bar but its still there just cant see it....anyway thats my first ten mins...

Got my update this morning (talk mobile 32GB 3g flyer) and this pretty much sums up my feelings

its a big sluggish but not unusably so, and the pen is much more handy, acting like a stylus which is what everyone seems to assume its going to do when they pick it up so there should be less useless screenshots!!

Edit: This impression of sluggishness may be because i am not comparing it to my Galaxy Nexus, when I used to compare to a Desire ...

Still nothing here for my unbranded 32 gb...

I have no sim card in at the moment, only WiFi. Does it matter?

Honeycomb Flyer...i did say it was a bit slower....seems alot better now i did a factory restore and got rid of all apps that was on before the update...impressed with honeycomb....and after a few hours of play i seems to forgot about the honeycomb soft button bar and the space up it takes...

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

The last few days I've been getting together the courage to go S-Off,root and flash Globatron's lovely piece of work, then this 'official' OTA update comes along and tries to trump it! How rude! Is Globatron's 'better' in any way? If so I'll jump on the hacking wagon...

Incidentally, why have some received their update and some not?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] forx:
well played with it a fair bit today,initial thoughts are seems sluggish to me but may need apps cleaning out n starting again(i do have a lot of carp in there).

not sure i like the loss of the 360 spinny screens,only seem to have a few in either direction n it then stops.

have strange messages come up when on the orig mains charger,it tells me the charger is insufficient to charge the tablet and so it wont charge until i switch tablet off...used to charge fine on gb while switched on so god knows whats going on now..

cant seem to put a folder on screen in order to fill it with icons etc,havent a clue where that option is now..

good few of my borrowed apps no longer work,messages say "this is not an original app"..;)

also the music player doesnt seem to work,it just says "loading" forever n ever

pen is nifty now it interacts with everything tho my screen cover is now showing more scratches after just a days use.

not worried as much as i thought i mite, about losing the hard buttons,just sort of carried on without thinking about them,little bar onscreen is hardly noticeable tho it did ignore my presses a few times.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
The GloblTron post is the exact same ROM as the official OTA with the addition of root and recovery so yes its better, but its the same.

The RUU listed is the exact same stock official OTA, same thing you would receive over the air
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Fallenhero1:
why cant my other tablet update

I have a WIFI 3G flyer heard about the update and installed it...wife has the other flyer same specs and still GB and wanted to see mine and how it worked to see if she wanted to update..she doesnt like change..thats women for ya..anyway..after playing with mine she likes the look of Honeycomb...strange thing is..day later tried to update...no update...been trying last few days still no update..are HTC or whoever sends the update only doing it certain times days ect...thanks

Any way to hide the browser address bar in HC?

The address bar takes up a lot of real estate. Is there a way to make it hide, but appear when needed?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bazman70:
Running rooted version as per Globatron guide, very happy. Just do it!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

IT's always there, there are threads and threads on this topic.

HC works this way. It cannot be changed or customized. And the hard buttons are always disabled except the pen button, always..................
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Macharoni:
There's honeybar, if you are rooted.

globatron's latest easy-root-install is almost too easy, just run the app and done
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Honey bar app is out there, but be aware that it is a root rom hack and may or may not work with certain apps. The is no method built into HC to remove or hide the system bar. It can dim, but its still takes up space. Honey bar hacks the display to hide it so if it works for you fine, but if it crashes some of your apps, its not HC its honey bar.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] flydjer:
I mean the browser's address bar on the top of the screen, not the Honeycomb bar on the bottom of the screen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
I thought that was what you meant. My solution is to use a different browser, there might be an option in the browser settings to hide it. I don't know because I don't use the stock browser at all, mostly because of that huge wasted space.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Sorry about that, but the answer is still no. I use the stock browser because it syncs with my chrome desktop bookmarks. You cannot hide the toolbar.

For those having issues with battery drain on oICS due to constantly downloading the OTA go to system/apps and rename downloadprovider.apk to downloadprovider.apk1, this should force close your system updates when you back out of it but leave gapps intact. I also fixed permissions in both download providers prior to this, don't know if that made any difference
