How do I convince the market that I don't own something? I bought GTAIII but it didn't download right so I uninstalled it to redownload. Except it refunded my money but says I already own it. So I go to download it and it says "You haven't purchased this yet." How do I get to to let me purchase the drat thing so I can download it again?

Combat Pretzel posted:Aw crap, I hoped it'd work. I've read about people using Wallet in Germany, on Nexus S devices. So at least back then, it didn't seem so much of a problem to run it outside of the US. Tried installing it on a Galaxy Nexus GSM. My CDMA Galaxy Nexus is unlocked and rooted and this installed without a hitch. The only problem is that now I have no idea where to use it at.

When you first start setting up the phone, it asks if you want to load up all the apps or something that you had installed before. Look at all the settings while setting up. There's something there.

Some of the games were worth getting for free. Too bad a lot of them I had already purchased months ago. Splashtop looked interesting and I grabbed that. Is that the thing that was on sale for 10 cents last week? It is pretty interesting but limited to 1024x768 looks like. Is there a better remote desktop client for android?

Pissflaps posted:What's the closest approximation to ios's 'app folders' you can get for android? Everything seems to involve setting up widgets that you then manually add apps to through a list. I'd prefer to just drag and drop. Is this possible? Are you talking about a folder on the home screen with apps in it? On earlier versions you just long press and choose folder. On ICS you just drag one app on top of another and it makes a folder.

Why do you need to control the music on your phone from your computer? Usually you want to control a stationary device with a portable device, not the other way around.

Is there a thread for woofi? If not, is there a way for it to not disconnect wifi if it is currently connected but not in the correct area? My GPS likes to say I'm at the opposite part of base (about 2 km away) even though I'm not. I'd rather not set my radius to three kilometers. It would be nice if when it saw I was at home and connected to wifi, it didn't disconnect later when it thinks I'm 3km away. If I'm away and I'm not on wifi, sure turn wifi off, but if I'm actively connected to it.

This is what I saw on the market. You have to provide your own ROM, so maybe you can find a friend who has one and extract a ROM.

Regarding woofi turning wifi off. I had woofi disabled and turned my wifi on. It connected everything was good. Turn Woofi on and set my location to be a couple kilometers away. Wait a few minutes and my wifi is off, and Woofi is saying I'm however far away, waiting until whenever to check again. I have a LTE Gnex.

Can't you just mute media volume? I know that worked with my OG droid, which was annoying when I tried to do anything else. Based on something I read a few years ago, it started being forced on in Japan because they were all being creepy pervs taking upskirt shots of people. Then it migrated to the US. I haven't bothered with my Gnex.

Is there a way to change how swiftkey predicts what word I want? I find myself constantly frustrated when trying to type an easily predictable sentence and I type the first letter of the next word and it gives me words I would almost never use not to mention would I use it next based on the last word. I bought my friend a sandwich and wanted to tell her I was almost there while I was at a stop light. So I type "alm" and it gives me "alm, almond, some" for choices. I would use "almost" ten times more than any of those other words (maybe not some, but not when I just typed "alm"). I usually have to type out the entire word anyway because I want the plural and it gives me "want, wanting, wanted" instead of "wants."

I stopped using swype because it always was getting words wrong. Then instead of showing me similar words, it would show a word similar to what I wanted and then a bunch of random words that maybe could use letters sort of near where I swyped. It got to the point where I'd need to type things out manually, and what's the point of swype if I'm typing. I switched to SwiftKeyX and it predicts just fine and haven't had many problems with it.

How can an app be using battery if it has no processes? My battery screen keeps saying that F1 Timing 2012 is using 19% of my battery usage, but it's not even running. I go to the app screen and force stop is greyed out, I go to running apps and it's not there. This app isn't running but after unplugging after a full charge it's telling me that 5% of my battery usage is F1 Timing 2012 but there's no usage details.

I don't know if it's any different now, but whenever a new version comes out, they entirely break the old version so you can't use it as anything but a tapping keyboard.

Did Facebook ever start playing nice and you can add facebook to your people list or whatever? Whenever I switched to my GNex, you couldn't add facebook to the accounts to pull contacts from. Glad I never checked on that again then. Pissed me off enough when I went into my facebook contacts and they had changed it so all of my email addresses were hidden and all that was displayed was my facebook email. Way to make it impossible to find contact information for someone who might not check facebook, assholes.Craptacular! posted:2) SwiftKey: I like the huge keyboard, I dislike that it learns words that I made up while doing things like posting here. I know the conventional thinking is that the ICS keyboard isn't very good, but you can use a wacky spelling or a nonsense word here or there without the user dictionary picking it up and learning it. Even if you want to use some sort of intentionally stupid "teh bezt" spelling in the default keyboard, you can just push delete once after pushing space and it will undo it's replacing your word. Just long press whatever word you don't like and hit remove. Cojawfee fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Jul 2, 2012 |

Samsung has an app, but they seem to be really lazy about what phones it works on. I can use it on my OG droid but it wouldn't let me download it for my GNex. Of course, it's a simple matter of copying the APK off my droid and putting it on my GNex. It works just fine.

I decided to see what I could get out of my GNex with light use and no charging after setting up profiles on SetCPU and going back to a static image for my background. Total screen time of 45 minutes. Also, turns out I had my priorities backwards for the profiles, it was always on the <=75% profile the whole time. Not too bad I don't think, seeing my old Droid would last half a day. before this phone would be down to 60% just sitting in my car and using it throughout my time at home would get it down to about 40. This gets me an extra 20 hours or so.

Siroc posted:I bought the Nova launcher during the $0.25 cent sale and it's much better than TouchWiz on my SGS2. It almost replicates the layout design of my Nexus 7 with its dock and app drawer. While in Nova launcher, long click and select "Nova Actions." Scroll to the bottom and select "Nova Settings." This places a button on the screen which goes to the nova settings. Inside the settings near the bottom there's an option that lets you select the default home.

While I want a decent camera that can take a decent picture, I'm happy with whatever snaps a quick picture that I can text to someone. If I want to take nice photos, I'm not going to use something with a lens that's half a centimeter long.

It's not that good. Perhaps it's ok for a generation of people who are ok with stretching out a tiny thumbnail across their entire screen as a wallpaper to the point it unrecognizable. My GNex takes fuzzy and grainy pictures even in the best lighting. Pictures look acceptable because apps like instagram take your pictures, shrink them and cover them in filters. This covers up any flaws in terrible phone cameras and also looks trendy. The sad thing about this is that gone is the photo album with photos that you could get high quality scans of. Now what we have is a bunch of 800x600 images covered in garbage on Facebook that people think are memories.

Install Gentoo posted:I don't know about you but when I look back at my family's photo albums most of the pictures are blurry, under/overexposed, or focused on the wrong part of the picture. Maybe your photo albums were filled with SLR shots but most people just used crappy cheap cameras that don't even stand up to a bad phone camera. I guess your family is just really bad a taking pictures I guess. With consumer film, it's not that hard to set zoom in a couple seconds and take a decent picture with a decent camera.

With all this FM tuner talk I decided to google it and went to an xda developer forum. Holy poo poo, why does every single person have a "sent from some bullshit with a phone some app" thing at the end of their posts? I thought it was snarky to have the iPhone thing, but specifically mentioning what keyboard you have on what android rom is spergy as gently caress. Sent from one of my six iPads.

On Verizon, voice doesn't really work the way Google wants it to. You dial a number and it forwards all your voicemails to your google voice number. This is exactly what I want google voice for. My voicemails are saved online and I can access them from my computer.

Use lightflow. It lets you set different notification light colors and tones for individual contacts and apps. You can even have it be different between SMS and MMS. You just add the contact to Light flow, enable notifications and then set the color and tone. You don't have to have a color if you don't have an LED.

last I checked, you can. You click on settings and select "make available offline" and it caches the area of the map inside the square. I'm pretty sure I've used this for navigation before when 3G was totally dead in my city.
