Everything Android

Well look at that.   I was using v2.2 for the longest while.  Didn't even know it updated.

...and I found the culprit for the app install /update issue I was having.  It was exactly as I suspected...my custom resolution.

Easily fixed by using LCD Density Modder Pro.
Allows you to set any DPI you want, and makes the necessary mods to the Play Store apk file.
So no more 'incompatible device'  messages in the Play Store...and all my existing apps updated as they should.

I <3 Android.

Any thoughts on Samsung Dive? It seems to be providing a free service to locate and track your phone. Not too shabby IMHO in the world of stolen phones etc.

I have it running on my phone, seems to be working well. Hopefully I will not have to use it in future.

We were just discussing Samsung Drive (a page or two back)

Pity it won't work with my Galaxy Nexus. Samsung cut us out of the family. STEUPS!

But in other news, got my Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth stereo headset. OMG

How DID I LIVE without this??

Arc boy, you were on the money.......like sex.

Look ma...no wires!

And the sound quality is far improved over the stock ear buds that came with the galaxy nexus.

epic win

You mean 'Motorola'

Anyone knows where sells the google galaxy nexus for a great price?

I google store is selling for 350us but can't order with a TT credit card.

I could do with this phone right about now

[TriniXaeno]

US$250?

That's a fantastic price.

They literally giving it away.

But I thought I heard they were banned from selling the Galaxy Nexus in the USA?

Maybe they trying to sell off as many as they can before its pulled off the shelves pending trial.

[haterforever]

sry, meant 350US

[TriniXaeno]

hahha, well that's a big difference.

Yeah, it's been at that price for a while. You can get it on Amazon for $429

Less hassle than dealing with the Google Store's disdain for international cards.

$379, if you don't mind ebay

Good ebay find but doesn't come with box, charger. Won't risk it (tho I'm tempted).

It's either this or S2, but i'm liking the nexus design more

[Arcmanov]

Can't go wrong with the S2 either.   [/shameless plug]

Android is in a good place right now...detractors be damned. 

[Mez]

s3 is the second coming of totally awesome

[TriniXaeno]

yeah, I'm not a big fan of ebay either.

Personally, I'd go with amazon. Cost a few bucks more but will save me in terms of peace of mind.

Mez, how much that S3 cost?

on another note, saw this suspiciously cheap droid on digicel's site running gingerbread.

Alcatel One Touch

Any good?

Wondering if it would be worth it for some family members.

GSMArena seems to think its ok

Bmobile, Post-paid $4,300 Not bad considering importing was starting at $5,000

[Arcmanov]

Good thing you got 'before the lock' because ALL sellout, and Bmobile can't say when they getting more.

People have real money in this place yes.  I know of someone who bought TWO...cash.  Please b'leedat.

[woodyear99]

Watch out Siri....

[Mez]

One of their Tech's has a BB 9930, iPhone 4s and the Galaxy...
I does watch him and wonder how dotish yuh cud be...

[TriniXaeno]

what you talkin bout mez?

[Mez]

A Bmobile technician, has bought all three of those phones.

[Arcmanov]

It doesn't look good. This Galaxy S III apparently malfunctioned while in an in-car holster, causing some substantial melting and burn marks across the lower half of the device. The global HSPA+ iteration of Samsung's new flagship apparently sparked into white flames, followed by a bang. While it's certainly not the first smartphone to implode in transit, the damage -- along the base but separate to the charging port -- looks pretty substantial and although the screen still apparently worked, reception was dead. The phone has been whisked off to a repair center through phone retailer Carphone Warehouse for the full autopsy. User dillo2k10 was left unscathed, but it's apparently left some nasty molten plastic remains on the inside of his car. Hit up the link below for some more scorch-marked close-ups.
