Very cool as is, though.

I tried it for a while, it's skinnable and it works ok but it just doesn't really compare to Swype in my opinion. I ended up going back to Swype. As a stop gap it's probably ok if you're willing to spend a buck.

I have run into a problem with the Google+ messenger (former Huddle) lately - I receive notifications about new messages, and when I go to the list of chats and select one of the conversations, I am always taken back to the list of chats after a short loading screen. My phone is kind of a low spec entry level smart phone (Huawei ideos x3, if it matters), but I should have enough free RAM available for the task. I tried removing and re-installing Google+, but no dice - I just can't open a conversation, I keep getting thrown back to the list of active chats, without any error messages whatsoever. I tried googling the issue, but with no results that match the problem. Any ideas?

I haven't bought anything from the Market yet so I'm curious how does the 15-minute refund window works. Do they charge you immediately and then refund you if you choose to do it or do they wait 15 minutes to charge your card?

I started with sliedit so that might be why, though. Main reason I prefer slideit is when I go with an incorrect word, hitting delete takes out the whole word in one go rather than having to hit delete for every character. Note that I only spent five minutes with swype before deciding to go back to slideit.

But since you're using Widgetlocker, can't you just make a slider that boots the flashlight app anyway? I'd assume this app's for people without a configurable lockscreen.

Would be bad to send an emergency text to a loved one if I just dropped my phone. Is there a "cancel-me" countdown after the impact or something?

If you enable the shake to turn on function it stays on after the screen is off. Totally a kick rear end feature. I love that you can get stuff like that with Android. When my iPhone was jailbroken I had it set to turn on the light by pressing both volume keys at once but this is much more convenient (and works ootb).

Wow. Typing this with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected to my phone. Not terribly useful but I can see this being very handy if I were to connect it to a TV. Is there any way to emulate the home button with a Bluetooth keyboard? The escape key works as a back button most of the time. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Jan 7, 2012 |

Exactly that. The length of the countdown is user-definable, as is the impact sensitivity. The countdown offers both time to cancel a false alarm, and time for the GPS to get an accurate fix. It can be canceled either by pressing the "I'm OK" button, or by moving more than 20 feet (so if you are mountain biking or similar, bumps in the trail can be ignored).

I think I might've figured out a solution to my Market woes. I did some digging on XDA (sigh) and it seems other people are experiencing similar issues. The reason freezing/deleting the updater isn't working is because that functionality was integrated in the Market .apk itself at some point, so if I could only figure out at which version that happened, flashing the previous one and freezing the updater should presumably work. I realise I probably should've just bit the bullet and invested my time in switching smoothly to ICS, but this poo poo has pissed me off enough to try to find a solution in case others who can't just update run into the same problem. (And knowing my luck, it'll probably persist in ICS.  )

Note that I only spent five minutes with swype before deciding to go back to slideit. That describes my experience too. But I also think Slideit's keyboard layout is better than Swype's, plus it's skinnable so I got one that is completely barebones. I also don't like the way Swype maps multiple poo poo to a long press. I really wish I could just use sliding input on the stock keyboard. I don't see why it's not an option.

Cardiovorax posted:AppBrain has an "on sale" filter. The market per se doesn't support something like that, sadly. Unfortunately, the AppBrain "on sale" filter doesn't seem to be something you can apply to your personal app lists, which makes it rather useless for finding out when an app you want goes on sale.

Did you have to download or run any bluetooth helper programs? What OS version are you running? I can get to pair but not connected and it's frustrating the hell out of me since the keyboard works fine pairing with my iPhone, iPad, and windows pc.
