And that's your opinion. I DON'T want it to be the default.

This is why this thread is just silly. There are reasonable answers for every request on this thread except the gift card idea. (that would be good for buying apps for a kid who doesn't have a credit/debit card.)

Is Emoji provided as a stock application on iOS? Because I believe you have to download a plug-in app to make it work and... some free SMS apps of Android offers them. Go SMS Pro and Handcent, for example.

Whoops. Not a problem on my HTCs as HTC has another Mail app that is part of Sense UI (it's fantastic) and it supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Windows Live ® Hotmail ® or "Other" mail providers (POP3/IMAP). And no waiting time for attachments too. :P

Anyway, the solution to this is probably the K9 mail provider/app, which offers push e-mails. (It's why FriendCaster has it as a optional basis to get your notifications).

Probably the only thing I like out of all this is the Reader mode for the browser--- but instead of stripping the page out of all ads and images, I just want the ads removed. But then, I've read from pocketnow.com who got their hands on a prototype HTC Ville with Sense 4.0 that this functionality has been added and I personally prefer Sense ROMs out of all the ROMs out there (heck, the only time I considered buying a non-HTC Android phone was because of Sony Ericsson's Xperia Arc S and that's just because of the camera) so... Not a problem for me I guess.

Stock Android has to "emulate" that though... Or have their own version of it as a stock app. But hey, just as long as they don't interfere with my beloved Sense UI.

Actually to my understanding the emoji comes built in on apple devices you just need an app like 'plugin' in your words to activate it and to show up, so its already there you just need the app to activate it, whereas on android it does not come in stock rom and I have tried those apps it only sends people messages with the emoji in it you cannot read it by default or use it through out the phone

Ive been thinkn about getting titanium backup. Im trying to find out who has it already n who used it with success after updates. Especially one after ICS. So from what I heard/read it can back up apps n games and the system stuff n data. FOR the apps n games it actually backs up the apk or makes copies of them? Like lets say you know there's an update coming or you might have to send tablet to Asus. what steps would you use with Titanium Backup to make sure you can go back to the same apps n setup you had before? I thought I read somewhere here someone had an issue trying to restore info after an update. Is this true? Also I don't have an external micro SD card yet. Is this needed for Titanium or is that the best way to back up? Would backing it up on the Prime itself do any good or will it get wiped on an update or by Asus if sent in?

I have around 150-200 apps already n set alot of stuff up n hate having to manually try to do everything again. IS the built in Asus Backup any good or works just as good as Titanium? Doesn't it back up to the cloud or something or is it on the prime itself or external memory card? Does it do the data n system setup also?

Sorry for all the questions. Never used it before and figured might be time to make sure my stuff doesn't get erased. THANKS IN Advance for any info/help
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chpimentelpr:
A must have tool - Work fine with ICS 4.0.3

I'm using it years ago and is just excellent to backup all the apps on all your android devices. It work really good with ICS. It allows you to save all your app and the data of it. Is a must have tool.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eraursls1984:
You can try it free, you just have to restore one by one which is a major pain. Also on my bionic some apps don't restore right and it hangs, remember that app and don't check it in the batch list, then try and restore just the app and then just data. That problem may be because I was using t bolt backups on the bionic, but I never had any problems on my Droid X or t bolt.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dhyneland:
Titanium backup is the greatest! I have used it for many years across multiple devices. Every time I was getting ready to flash a different rom I would run a backup, flash the rom, and then titanium all my apps back.

Not sure if you have to have an sd card or not, I have always had one when using it. Most of the issues seem to come when people try to restore /system data after flashing to a different rom. All I backup and restore is apps under /data.

It wont backup home screens, widgets on home screens, ringer settings etc. Only apps. Also, with that many apps you are going to want to spring for the premium version. In the free version when you are restoring apps you have to click install on every single one of them. Premium version does it automatically.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] droidx2.3.3:
I use it and bought the pro key. I love it. Especially when you flash roms. Makes it so much easier. I highly recommend pro. Other wise you will have to it install for each app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Thanks for the info! Anyone know if the Asus built in backup is just as good? Ill more than likely get this asap.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
I'm not sure it would restore old apps from HC to ICS well but I haven't tried it. Otherwise it does everything you want. Restoring system files doesn't work so well sometimes but you can manually do that. You can also use it to restore data only to apps like the Alarm Clock for all of your times. One nice thing about the pro version is you can freeze apps which basically removes them from your system but doesn't delete them all the way. Deleting system apps can be an issue when it comes time to update as ASUS updates will not work if you have deleted system files.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] droidx2.3.3:
It will work on different versions. I backed up on gingerbread and restored on ics on my phone.

Hey guys, i know i saw a similar issue, but after searching all over, i can't find it.

Every time i fire up the stock camera app in CM7, it FCs. This issue only manifested in the last few weeks. Up until that point it worked no problem.

Basically, as soon as i launch the app, i get 2-3 seconds of working camera, then it freezes and FCs. I'm able to shoot pics through other apps (HDR, paper cam, etc).

Any thoughts on how to fix this? Possibly replacing the camera APK?

Thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leews24:
So, ah, I'm going to get a rom onto my atrix ATT (CM7 or neutrino, either one, and it;s my first time flashing a rom)

and the problem is, I have issues with the head phone input.

You know the hole where you put in the headphone jack? There seems to be a problem with that, since it gets disconnected when I kinda move it. I cant put it in my pockets for the same reason. I know its the problem with my headphones, cuz all my 3 headphone act like that.

Should I get this fixed by going to the Customer Center first? I heard all they do is get me a new device, but I also heard they wont get me a new device if I flash a rom.

Side question, should I get Neutrino or CM7 as my first rom?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Take it in and get it exchanged before you do anything. Why risk not getting a replacement. Also, they won't give you a new phone per se. You will get a refurb. My wife had to take her BB in when she had one, and the guy checked it was faulty and tried to fix it (basically he did a reset) before he gave her a "new" one.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kitya:
I know you hate me by now, but I have one more app under my sleeve. Err.. Straight from my keyboard. After a quite a few nights of development I’m ready to ask yet for your help once again in beta-testing a completely new application for windows phone 7 – Weather Stats. Weather Stats sources data from http://www.weatherbase.com/ (by permission from the owner) to bring back local (offline) climatological database (temperature and precipitation averages across the world) to your phone. Once released this app will be completely free and will have no advertisements (I hate both of the opposites). This database app will be useful for planning vacations or events and has massive amounts of data, almost 100000 charts among 26820 cities worldwide.

This app allows you to search by city name, navigate by country or search nearest places on map (using Bing maps). Integrates with Wikipedia too. It supports both metric and US units for charts. Finally it integrates with bing local search (place cards) to instantly bring you weather averages of the nearest location to your destination.

I want to make it good and reliable before I try to release it to the marketplace. If you want to help beta test it – please send me the liveid of your phone and I will give you a link to the app (this is needed for private beta-testing).

Thanks a lot for your help,

Nikita
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kitya:
Second Beta is released. Many bugfixes and improvements!

Learn about geography, plan your next vacation or event, or just browse through maps and charts to satisfy your curiosity. Weather Stats is your one authoritative source for finding monthly weather records and averages for more than 26,820 cities in 250 countries worldwide. The climatological information database is used by permission from weatherbase.com. Weather Stats accurately shows high, low and average temperatures and precipitation data.

Most functions of the app (excluding mapping and full-text search) work both offline and online. Various units and search methods are supported. App also integrates with Bing local search to bring you weather history information for your favorite places within one click.

Weather Stats is absolutely free and contains no advertisement.

I got the Prime for my brother's birthday and I was hoping to make sure ICS and stuff was installed before I gave it to him, but I'm not sure if I'd need to set up any account information before being able to update.

Any insights?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Your fine. When you first start setting up under welcome screen. Connect the Prime to a wireless network and skip all the Google stuff. Then go into Settings (Click on the clock on lower right. Next to the batt. icon is a gear symbol click it. Scroll all the way down) - About Tablet - System Firmware Update - Check

Updating to ICS is all ASUS not google so no need to set up an account for that.

You should be set from there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] atlfalconeer:
Make sure to be plugged to an outlet!!!!

my prime kept rebooting randomly after the ICS update and I contacted a rep about the issue. he said that it is a known problem and it happens for some reason when you update while on battery. so make sure you update on plugged to an outlet. I returned my prime and I'm waiting for a new one :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Skullmonkey:
You could also do the whole account thing, upgrade, and then do a master reset so it would do the setup process when your brother gets it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Damn, you are a nice brother...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tehkingo:
Thanks a lot guys, the update is underway.

I also made sure that it was connected before starting the update.

I was actually really worried about whether or not the tablet would be okay because my UPS guy dropped/threw it down by the front of my door. I was completely outraged, but it seems to be working fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Wow that's terrible! I'm glad I know my UPS guy and would never do something stupid like that. He's actually coming by today to hand me my 3rd Prime. Glad the Prime is ok. I would still do a thorough check though.

I am having the same issue with my Galaxy Nexus, I don't think it's app related but the change over from Google Checkout to Google Wallet.

I've been able to purchase and download apps just fine until they changed me over today. Now I can purchase apps but they won't download afterwards. It accepts the payment but stalls at the download part. I tried buying a different game and the same thing happens (although I managed to refund in time knowing the issue this time). Free apps download just fine and everything else appears ok.

Worst part is the 15 mins were long gone after I tried installing it for the 40th time.

Did you also get some message about Google Wallet notifying you when the transaction goes through?

rAy
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Did you go here and verify that your credit card info still intact? and with enough credit?

[Verizon Droid Charge] ray2jerry:
Yeah, I verified (and even re-entered) my credit card info and called to make sure there's plenty of credit on the card. I just bought an app yesterday no problem, and it wasn't with the Google Wallet account but Checkout... the issue seems to have started since getting the 'Google Wallet' info in the Market instead.

[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
My card has plenty of credit. It doesn't even buy the app-just instantly gives an error.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

Here is something else I've noticed.

This was the process for all the other (144+) apps I've bought as written on the top of my Checkout receipt:

but on this one it is:

Note how it doesn't tell me my order was complete. I also don't get that big yellow bar at the top of the receipt that says "Message from PUBLISHER:

The application will be automatically downloaded to your device." like on all the other ones.

rAy
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I never get any confirmation email or anything. As soon as I hit the price it'll just throw the error and I get booted back. I can still download free apps just fine. What am I supposed to do? Pirate apps permanently?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ray2jerry:
Haha my reaction too! Why am I going through all this when I am more than familiar how to get it all, but so far I've been faithful to Android Market and Google but stuff like this doesn't help.

That said my issue seems to be resolved. It was most likely a Wallet issue, and I believe that deleting and re-entering my credit card fixed it, only it took some time (I'm assuming they tried to charge it again overnight because I woke up with the game already installed successfully this morning and was also able to buy another app. I'm thinking the info got mixed up when they changed me over from Checkout to Wallet.

Try that and see if it works :-)

I have exactly the same problem. I can purchase on the web market, go to my phone into My Apps, and install it. I have purchased dozens of apps fine with Tweak, Humble, Infinity, and Eclipse 1.0. I updated to Eclipse 1.2 earlier today and that's when the issue started. I tried the market fix, i've tried the terminal emulator stuff and even tried putting in 4 separate Vending.apk files.

What else should I try? My browser works fine, my maps work fine...unlike some other issues I've read about... my ONLY issue at the present time is the ability to purchase apps in the market. Like all the previous posters stated... Free apps work fine. It seems to be when the app goes out to find my credit card information, it dies... Is that something to do with the Checkout/Wallet change?

-Use root explorer or something similar to copy this into system/app.

-clear cache and data from the messaging app in settings (this will probably delete your messages so back them up).

-in the messaging app settings change the custom user-agent to iPhone or custom
