F ya! New opera browser lets me connect to my school wifi now. Before all the browsers would tell me of a certificate error as I need to login on a website. :lol

On the Golden Egg Screen, each egg has an imprint on it(treasure chest, 3 stars, "?", etc), and each imprint is a clue as to where you find it. Found three of them last night. I felt like an idiot the moment I made the connection lol

I recently updated from 1.6 and every browser I tried lacked gifs. This is the first time i've noticed gif animations work on Android.
Looks like they just unleashed these out, I got it too. Ad notifications, seriously? That's terrible...Futureman said:I have a Droid X on Verizon and just got the same thing. I'm fairly certain that today is exactly one month since I got my phone, so maybe that's why it was pushed out.
It's not for Microsoft though, it was asking me to upgrade to the pay version of "Quickoffice." It looks like there's a $9.99 version on the market, not sure if what Verizon preinstalls is a trial version or a lite free version. I use it to look at PDFs though.

This works pretty well, and kind of addictive, actually.SimleuqiR said:A Youtube Leanback remote app hit the market;
Also makes me wonder the long-term viability of Google TV (as far as requiring dedicated GTV specific hardware) - with this kind of setup, I could just as easily hook up a standard PC/laptop running Chrome browser and control it via an Android device remote like this...why not?

Have there been any hints on when Launcher Pro is getting the big update?
I finally figured out how to change my lock bar using widget locker, anyone know if/how you can download other ones?

Is Verizon messing up numbers? I sent a text to my friend earlier today and got a 12 year old texting me back from a different number. I just got a voicemail from ESPN talking about ditkas radio appearance on a radio show tomorrow.

I still don't get what this app does.

Hook up your laptop to your living room HDTV. Open your youtube account but point it to http://www.youtube.com/leanback
Now using this app you can browse, skip, forward, etc, your Youtube subscription or favorite (or even search) without using your laptop.
This is useful for watching youtube in a living room set up, specially if you don't have a Google TV device.
So I have that Gmail bug where I can't download attachments or preview images attached to emails. It's extremely annoying. Worse yet, if you have a G2 (like I do), Engadget is saying that there's no way to roll it back to the previous Gmail version.
Sorry if it's already been discussed, but has this bit anybody else?

So far my major complain with Opera is how pages load. I will fully load a long webpage like a gaf thread and when scrolling down, it is blank and takes a few seconds to reload whats there.
Not really a fix but I have a shortcut to a neogaf.com and you could probably do the same with google to instantly load into that. Not exactly what you want, but works.
hey anyone know wtf is with my evo and the switch for daylight savings.
example.
--------
girlfriend: hey! coming over now
sent at 8:56
me: awesome see you soon.
sent at 9:57
---------
though i replied less than a minute later it says 8:56 and 9:57.... so let me continue this.
--------
girlfriend: hey! coming over now
received at 8:56
girlfriend: want me to pick up anything?
received at 8:58
me: awesome see you soon.
sent at 9:57
me: not its fine.
sent at 9:59
---------
do you get what i'm saying. so its sorting the messages in this weird order because it registers daylight saving for outgoing, but not incoming?

There's a setting for how many podcasts it will store at a time, but a single universal value for all podcasts. So if you tell it to store 10 podcasts and you have 10 different podcasts you like to follow, you're obviously not likely to have more than 1 episode store locally for each one. If you haven't already done this, go to the Listen home screen, bring up the menu, go to settings and look for the storage settings. You might just need to increase the number of episodes it stores locally.Ashsturm said:
Unfortunately, you still won't really have any direct control of how many episodes it stores per podcast, other than to download manually.

Hi all. I've developed a stupid little app to help you decide where you should eat. It's basically just a list of locations and the app will randomly pick one for you to go to.
Anyway, it's my first mobile app and it's pretty much just to learn about the development lifecycle of them. I plan to release it on the market for further learning experience too, but before then I'd like to get feedback from just a few users.
App can be found here: http://www.jlbeard.com
This is the groundwork being laid - have plans for a game for my next app.
Thanks!

Voice to text!!! Yes!gcubed said:swype beta update just released to those in the beta... has voice to text button... FINALLY! And its pushing a whopping 10mb now.
I had to muck around with uninstalling, restarting and reinstalling to get it to work, but after a couple tries it's all good. Wish this were smaller or could live on the SD card though =/

There have been a couple of screens, but they're of the system info screen or the home screen, both of which look pretty much like Froyo. The only thing that's known right now is softer borders on windows and a green tint on some menus/icons, like the home screen dock.Epix said:

That's too bad. I'd like to go back to stock to not rely on updated cyanogen mod releases for firmware updates. I think I'm still on 2.2, but not the 2.2.1 and I know I would be lagging on the Gingerbread release waiting for the latest final build of the custom ROM.kaching said:
This is so clutch. I was actually using the standard keyboard a lot this weekend because I was doing a lot of voice texting.gcubed said:swype beta update just released to those in the beta... has voice to text button... FINALLY! And its pushing a whopping 10mb now.
The new Google voice-to-text is so accurate now. Before the upgrade to the new version, I would pretty regularly end up with mistakes in my voice texts. Now it is pretty rare if I'm speaking clearly. My only complaint is that voice texting doesn't capitalize the first letter of the text.

I just tried to install and run it. Installed fine, got to the Opera Mobile splash screen, then it kicked me back to my home screen.thespot84 said:
Then I uninstalled it. Guess I'll stick to Dolphin HD.

I got it when i was writing the gaf post. Turns out I can't find a user agent switch to force mobile/desktop versions of sites, and it doesn't like to play with flash, so it may not be worth it
The only thing that Opera Mobile has going for it is the speed, oh and the fact that it supports gifs.
There is something weird about the way it load pages, can't really tell what it is though. Aside from that, not only does it still not support flash, but the video player that it uses is pure crap, specially for youtube videos, why use their own player instead of the fraeking youtube one?

I've had Google Talk running on my Nexus sometimes for weeks without noticing any hit on the battery. Sometimes I forget I'm signed in. I believe most of the Google services have PUSH, including Voice.
Battery drain will come when you actually start chatting it up, since your screen will be the component that will drain most of the battery.
Fatalah said:
Google Talk uses push, it's completely safe to leave it open. Aside from it, you have Pingchat and Whatsapp, they're very simmilar. The only difference is that Whatsapp costs like a couple bucks a year but is much more stable and cross-platform with iOS, Blackberry and Symbian.
If you're looking for a multi-service IM app, you can check Trillian (not in the market, downloadable from their page). It looks like it has a "push" mode activated when you check the battery-saving feature but AFAIK it doesn't work that great and tends to get stuck on poll mode very often, though the battery consumption is not that bad.
