Is here a link to that icon pack? Or did you make it yourself.

Looks really nice.

I think you can only use certain phones with that plan, though I would love to be corrected if I am wrong.

Nope. Tmo wanted to get me a S3 yesterday at all costs and was using that plan to hook me.

Then the nice rep at the store pulled up my current plan, with all my grandfathered features (lol) and told me it's better off to stay where I'm at.

Never letting go of Myfaves. Never.

S3s will probably take a while to drop below $500, and by the time they do the next set of nexus phones will be out. Definitely a better phone than the galaxy nexus but it's up to you to decide if the bettery camera, battery and processor are going to be worth double the price of the nexus.

The new G+ app for Android looks NICE.

 

[reKon]

is this google+ app design new? This thing looks amazing and pisses me off at the same time. Why?

Because Google+ seems to be much better to me on multiple levels, but I don't use it because every uses Facebook (except for google hangout - all my friends jump on that). I have to be left to using the shitty fb app or relying on m.facebook.com (I use this).

If people only new how much better of an app this than FB's ugh. How's the Facebook for iOS devices? Much smoother than Android's?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I think Google just effed me over, none of the times in my OP match the schedule on the I/O site... gah...

 

[dabig2]

Wow, this will be pretty damn useful:

Finally you can find out which asshole app keeps annoying you with ad notifications, and uninstall that crap (or disable notifications from it, if you really want to keep it)!

awesome news. And now to steal the banhammer for an avatar...

 

[def sim]

You should make the background transparent.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

This new Google Play developer console looks awesome.

 

[Cipherr]

App encryption, Delta app updates, ALL of the notification updates are just all pure awesome. Damn man, they are on their jobs.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

- New Google Play developer console.
- Tells you exactly the number of Google Play-running devices that can access your app (not how many users, how many devices.)
- Auto-translate app name, description, what's new, etc. Stays updated even when you update the English version.
- Faster.
- When uploading a new APK, it tells you the differential of devices that can run the new version, and why (in the third screenshot, it's because it required Bluetooth.)

The new G+ app for Android looks NICE.

It fixes most of the issues the previous update had. Mainly most people were complaining about the noise and how you couldn't read some of the comments on top of the big ass images. This update tones down the images a bit and allows you to read the text over them easiser.

My eyes have to re-adjust to it, but I like it better.

EDIT:

And it's fucking buttery smooth!! WOW.
Going to a post separates the image from the copy, and you can pull up the copy on to of the image for better ready!

It's a great improvement.

 

[dabig2]

Quite right.

True. The delta app updates are amazing to me. Maybe now I won't feel frightened to download an update over the data connection.

Facebook on ICS devices runs at 60fps, same as IOS.


That's the least of that app's problems however....

Oh, how I hate that. It always, without fail, ends up completely stupid. Sometimes I have to switch to the English store just to understand what the F the description is trying to tell me. Wish I could tell Play to NOT F-ING DO THAT!

 

[3phemeral]

Really liking the new Google+ update.

Can anyone find a video on the Voice response demo?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

New Google+ is soooo much better.

It's also really Path-like.

Set your system language to English?

I should be able to tell the app (or the site in the case of the browser version) to not auto-translate stuff, just like I can with Chrome on the desktop. Google assuming that I need everything badly translated to my own language just because I'm not English, and then not letting me opt out of that, is annoying.

Jellybean wallpapers ripped from the sdk...

How do I get them to fill the screen? Makes me crop them on my nexus.:/

Ok, let's try that again:

[jokkir]

Anyone trying scanning the QR code for the Chrome PvP livestream?

 

[kehs]

Open them in a browser window, tap/hold and set as wallpaper.

 

[smiggyRT]

All these will be available at a later date, right?

You can clearly read English well, why not change it if it's that much of a problem? When is it not being English a disadvantage?

No, didn't get it. Stupid camera guy.

Yes.

Still wants to crop.
Edit.. nm I see

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Still wants to crop.

It has to be cropped because of the parallax scrolling.

 

[3phemeral]

Still wants to crop.

You can use multipicture live wallpaper. Allows you to stretch the image to fit the screen size as-is without cropping. Not sure if the app with your username does that same thing, but I hear about it a lot when people bring up wallpapers.

Yeah, it's only a private beta for now.

I don't know, I guess I'm just used to my phones having Swedish GUIs, so I typically still go for that (just as I run Windows in Swedish). It just annoys me that Google wants to force bad machine translations on me because of it.

It's missing the Siri competitor, though.

No, but it's really human like. Hard to tell the difference between her and a real human.

So was the play store revamped or not? Unfortunate if not, I mean it must be in their plans right?

Thankfully it seems like that horrid screenshot was fake. I'm not against an update, but I am when it goes against the entire fricking platform conventions.

I don't know what it would look like but as it is right now, it's pretty horrible. They need to change dat shit.

No but it was updated in the background to add Magazines!

Using Chrome.

Looks like someone messed up the sprite that included the mic icon?

 

[Battersea Power Station]

So I guess no unification of Talk, Voice, and Messenger yet... and not even a web interface for Messenger. Why are they dragging their feet on this? It's a key feature as SMS is losing its ground and iMessage is gaining it.
