I would add a translucent status bar except I am against the use of it in certain apps, it makes the top of the app look strangely long and it makes it seem like Android is following everything iOS is doing. I love the translucent bars when it comes to showing pictures (something the stock gallery ironically doesn't do), the home launcher and a few other places where it works really well, however when the app has the huge menu/title bar at the top I think there isn't much purpose to have it translucent as it just shows the colour behind it.
[Android General] Yeti12:
Thank you! and I hope so as well! The current Facebook app layout is a huge improvement over the previous one which simply looked horrid in my opinion, but the current one still could be improved. My idea shows the holo concept, it would make the Facebook app more consistent with the other Android apps and therefore easier/more enjoyable to use.

I think Google should definitely have more control or enforce more of their guidelines for the app designs because what we have right now (especially from 3rd party apps, especially big ones like Facebook) is inconsistent mess really. Google needs to do something about it but honestly they need to do something about their apps first, if you want to know what I mean just open an app like Play Store or Newsstand and look at the layout and icons there and at the icons for search and pop out menu, then open their brand new app of Docs and just look at everything as a whole! The slide out menu is completely different from their other apps, and the icons on the title bar are also different, why change the search icon, the previous one was nice!

I am aware that I am looking at details here, but really these are quite major ones really, if this is the way Google is going with their apps (I mean the style of Docs) then that's fine with me, just please update the other apps to go along with it!

Sorry for the long paragraph but I honestly think they should do something about it, I'm pretty sure there are others who feel the same way as me.
[Android General] soumitpl48:
That's an awsome concept, and some awsome design. I'm actually a little bit disappointed that such an app is not available yet.

You may..no..You Definitely should talk to guys at the Holofication Nation. They are Holofying apps for quite some time now.

Oh, and please keep posted about new developments. :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] Yeti12:
Thank you! And I am disappointed too! I'm aware of the holofication nation and they're doing some great work!

The Facebook app is a tricky one since its UI isn't controlled by the app, but by the server (that's what I've heard) therefore can't be themed, which would mean a new app would have to be made.

I wish I could be able to actually make an app like that but since I don't know much about coding (I know quite a bit about theming) I can't really do anything, I can provide a concept at least!

I'm planning to make a Holo concept for the Twitter app as well, it will be similar to this one (I think).

I have a T-Mobile 7" Table that I really want to make calls from. I have my sim popped in, can send sms and mms from the factory messaging app. I can not figure out how to make calls for the life of me. I have searched high and low looking for answers. I found instructions how to do it on the first Galaxy Tab but no luck on the 3rd. Also I don't want to use something like voip I want to install a phone apk to use my mobile number. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance and thanks for all the hard work you guys do.

[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
How many generations does it take to build the perfect smartphone? In this video I will show you all differences between Sony Xperia Z vs. Sony Xperia Z1 and Sony Xperia Z2. What exactly has changed between models and is it worth upgrading?

[YOUTUBE]xb17IhOE8wI[/YOUTUBE]
[Xperia Z1 General] crazymister:
Nice comparison. I'll be able to choose a new device from August, so I'll probably wait for the z3 by then
[Xperia Z1 General] luluchambler:
Great review! :)

Btw. is it just my eyes or is it so that the Z1 has the brightest/contrasty Screen out of the three?
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
For some reason the wallpaper is lighter on Z1. When you look at the video playback on all three they are almost identical. I have been looked closely at all three and the brightness is almost the same. The viewing angles on the Z2 are far superior though.
[Xperia Z1 General] Akinaro:
almost all camera gadgets are available in market, i have latest timeshift, AR effect(this with sounds), motiongraph and this cool blurred background mode, when you shoot two images and play with background, its a bit buggy but work
[Xperia Z1 General] iDroid8:
I really don't like the lack of soft-touch edge on the Z1/2 like on the Z. I understand the metal frame makes it more durable and more premium, but after holding the Z, the Z1 and up feel incredibly slippery in the hand as a result.
[Xperia Z1 General] luluchambler:
I generally like the design of the Z better than that of its sucessors.

The soft-touch was great, aluminum is generally a bad idea when there are antennas nearby and it really destroys the look iam loving the Z for right now.

The plain black monolitic all-around, with the frame that is like pebble-blueish when looked at in the sunlight.

Just great imo.

For me the Z1/Z2 are a step back regarding the sleek elegant design that was inherent to the Z, except for a few changes.

The flap-less headphone jack is really the only thing that i really found to be annoying about the Z, and the 3200mah is also a great step forward.

Other than that there isnt really much beside hardware-specs that was improved in my opinion.

Still missing such a feature like IR, maybe with the Z3?

Display was always kinda okayish when looking straight at it, and due to the bad viewing angles i dont need any kind of "privacy-filter" foil or similiar :P

Things that should get improved is the Picture-Quality in dark conditions and in macro-mode i hate that blur-filter that seems to destroy any little detail i was used to see on a lot older devices.

There have been Sony-Ericcson's Cybershot phones that are now pretty much "historical" that took more natural or even in general better looking images.

Its also sad for me to know that my five year old phone takes better macro-shots :(

Anyways, we'll see.

:highfive:
[Xperia Z1 General] mhboooool:
my xz is the best
[Xperia Z1 General] ->---:
It is like in the automobile sector. The first facelift is the best balance between price and features. All the bugs from the protoype version are solved. The features are not to overwhelming and the price is ok.
[Xperia Z1 General] Option58:
Z - Feels like a prototype phone. Has many things done good but also has many thing that just feel low quality...

Z1 - Feels like hell-a-lot of an improvement - better screen, and build quality. Still not perfect with those bezels and not as great viewing angles.

Z2 - *Z design brang to perfection* Great screen with good bezels and viewing angles.
[Xperia Z1 General] homer285:
I went to store with intent to buy Z2, the display model was abhorrent, the screen was misaligned, there were huge gaps around the screen and middle frame and if that wasnt bad enough the screen was flickering away. As a Z1 owner I couldnt help notice also that the entire look and feel was less premium than Z1. Im sticking with Z1 very disappointed as I was looking forward to 4K vid and display improvements.

[Off-topic] ZeroInfinity:
Let's put it this way:

Google now has handy "cards" for you to view wherever you are. Like what restraunts are nearby, Photo locations, Traffic information, ETA to Home/Work etc.

You don't need to ask it anything most of the time, although you can ask simple questions such as "How old is (Insert famous person here)" or "How tall is (Insert Famous Person here)" or "When was (Insert building/landmark here) built?" and it'll often tell you the answer :)
[Off-topic] aooga:
What I've heard from people is if you live in the US and speak US english, like me, it's by far better than anything else out there. If you don't live here / don't speak US english, it's not that great. I've never tried any other language or country so I can't tell, but for me, Google now is miles ahead of siri. Cortana is actually pretty good though.
[Off-topic] Dante15:
Thanks for the opinions guys, one more question, I have to search the motor google.us or have active locations to benefit from all functions of the application? thanks
[Off-topic] ZeroInfinity:
Google search is normally set to your local one (I.e if you are in the US, you'll be automatically searching with the US one)

You need to have active location (GPS) to get the best benefit from all the function.

It needs to know where you are so it can show those cards with information relevant to your current location :) but hey, at least you don't have to keep on asking it questions! :p

[Off-topic] TarekElsakka:
To be honest I don't see much of a difference in what they do, besides their names and companies. After all, Google is my favorite search engine and database, and I definitely prefer Google Maps over Apple's, so Google Now does a pretty awesome job for me. Siri/Google Now would not really affect my purchasing decision in any case.
[Off-topic] RichardWood:
I really like the functions of Google Now. It's more helpful and able to provide information when I need it. However, to enable the full functionality of Google Now means Google Service Framework is running all the time and producing a huge amount of wakelocks... Which means a lot of battery drainage.

So I would say neither one of these meets my expectation...Hope GSF could get better
[Off-topic] Matze1904:
I think Google Now "understands" your requests better, but maybe it is microphone related... I dont know anybody using any of these services because it affords more time getting what you want.

[G Pad 8.3 General] BJozi:
I just realized my g pad doesnt have a android spell check the same as my nexus has. The keyboard im using has a nasty autocorrect that ive disabled, when typing ive no idea if im spelling words right. On my nexus words are underlined red regardless of which keyboard i use. How do i get this on my tablet?
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
Just install the Google keyboard from the Play Store. It's the same one that's on a Nexus (by default). Here's a link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
[G Pad 8.3 General] BJozi:
That just installs the keyboard, i still dont have any form of spell check with it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
Ah, I see. The version that comes pre-installed on Nexus ROMs (but evidently not GPE ROMs?) has spell checking as a keyboard feature, but the version from the Play Store doesn't. However, after a little Googling I'm finding this feature under Settings>Language and Input>Spell checker where I've selected Google Spell Checker. I don't know if that enables it for any keyboard or just the Google Keyboard, but it seems to work for me. I see misspelled words underlined clearly.
[G Pad 8.3 General] BJozi:
I should have had the phone next to me to compare!

I have spell check in settongs but its and empty menu where as on my nexus I can select google spell checker. So where do o get this google spell checker for my g pad?
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
Not sure. It was just there for me (I'm on a GPE, by the way). Have you tried installing the Google Keyboard from the Play Store already? Maybe it's included as part of that distribution.
[G Pad 8.3 General] BJozi:
Looks liike i needed a reboot to get any options for the google spell check but its not correcting, as can be seen in some wordss.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
Bummer. Yeah, I'm not sure then. For what it's worth, I actually use SwiftKey as the keyboard on all of my Android devices, and its word prediction is a very effective form of spell correction as well as making typing on a soft keyboard ridiculously efficient.
[G Pad 8.3 General] BJozi:
I never really to a liking to swiftkey on my phone but ive not really used it on my tablet. I use fleksy on my g pad, i like its layout but not the auto correct, it does have ok prediction if you tap the wrong word but i know there are some words i spell wrong and it wont correct. Maybe ill try swype on this and have a look at swift key.
