Amen to that. I really don't understand the trend of wanting inflammatory titles for these threads. AFAIK Apple/Windows-Age GAF doesn't bother with them. No good comes of it.

Plus Google I/O is so much more than Android. Wouldn't make sense from that angle either.

No case, just get a sleeve like an ultraslim when not using it. Naked devices are best devices.

I actually like how iOS handles podcasts. I wish Google put them in their music app, and for that matter, had a podcast page in the play store.

So that's how it goes. During WWDC gaf looked like an apple board at times. A main thread then several other ones with each feature announced. Anyways I am pretty excited for I/O. Can't wait to see what the Android future looks like.

Hey all, just recently jumped back into the android world when I snagged a deal on a galaxy tab 2 7". I'm looking for a case now and was wondering if any of you had recommendations. I'm looking for something that is:

1. Leather
2. Easy to snap it in and out
3. Can fold and display the screen upwards

Any ideas?

So whenever one of my friends sends me an MMS and I try to open his SMS thread in the stock messaging app, it just crashes until i delete the thread. Looks like I'm going to have to back to 3rd party SMS apps. Whats the best third party SMS app on the market? The faster and lighter it is, the better. My phone barely lasts 5 hours as it is

I've been browsing GAF that way for a few months. It's not that hard to tap slightly away from the edge of the screen.

It's a combination of both. If you try out ICS Browser + you can modify the edge size so it can only pop up really close to the edge. I have mine set to 20.

Its an issue with compatibility with I message I believe. Not sure if its apple's or Google's fault here.

So I seem to have somehow gotten a virus on my droid x2. Every time I open my internet I get a pop-up about winning something that requires me to hit "okay" to go away. I've just exited out of the browser app every time instead of hitting "okay".

Is there a simple way to deal with this? I honestly know little to nothing about cell phone viruses and google isn't much help.

I get this too on my transformer recently. :/ Only happens on on certain sites, not sure its a virus, could be some embedded ad that targets mobile browsers.

Have you guys checked to see if your default home page got set to something weird? Try running the airpush detectors apps, I can't remember their names right now but this might be one of them:

ParanoidAndroid was awesome on my S2. It was really fast and I loved the tablet mode, some apps get much better when run in that mode.

I can only hope that it comes to the One X as well.

It's Google's fault for not supporting group MMS. I downloaded GoSMS and turned Group MMS on and now I can group chat with people with iPhones. It's still a bit junky, but it works.

Same here. Although since I downloaded it, I haven't gotten the pop-up again. Not sure if that's a coincidence or not.

Double check the settings to see what you have for your homepage, if not try clearing the data from the browser application ( system settings > Applications > All > Browser > Clear Data).

Note that clearing the data will wipe out your bookmarks though.
