Have you double checked that your music is set to sync under account settings?
Alright, I can't use Opera on a tablet anymore. When you zoom into a page and click the back button it zooms out rather than going back. So you need to hit back twice to go back to the previous page.
And accessing bookmarks sucks too.
Switching to Dolphin or Boat browser instead.

Dolphin mini or Firefox, best bookmark/tab management browsers.
I played it a bit in the morning and it's a nice version. Totally worth it at 10c

another day, another 3 apps bought.
Handy thing about having two android devices is that if an app isn't compatible with one, I can grab it with the other.

Ah. I had auto-sync turned off for battery's sake so when I tapped the button it didn't sync anything. Thanks for the help, makes perfect sense now I think about it.

I am as well, also all my apps I have that are moved to the SD card force close with an error, and I get errors saying there is no SD card but its inserted into the phone. I tried taking it out and reinserting it but does not work.

Fuck. So yesterday this randomly popped up in my notifications area: "Free Prize Unclaimed: You've Been Selected At Random to Win...." So apparently I got some sort of adware installed. It showed up again today. How can I find it and kill it? The only apps I've installed recently are from the Google $.10 promo but I'd be surprised if it came from there. Running HTC Inspire 4G with Gingerbread.
Yeah I feared that, will it work with AT&Ts network? They have a pay by month gophone plan

Now besides all of the apps I had moved to my SD card, the apps that were are the phone all no longer work and all force close. I can only run gmail, the android market, and the camera.

Thanks. Do you know if there's one service in particular I should look for? All the apps listed with ad services are ones I've had on my phone for months, so it's hard to know which is the culprit.
The weird fucking thing is googling "Free Prize Unclaimed" only gives 3 results, the first of which is my post! I can't believe I'm the only one in the world to get this.
hahah, most of the ones on this list are pretty aggressive. airpush is the most common culprit:
#Push Notifications#
AirPush
Appenda
LeadBolt
Moolah Media
TapIt
Urban Airship
Xtify

Google TV is so good now. I've sideloaded a bunch of app and Music is working great now. I tried to add on an external 320gb hdd to it and it was getting bogged down checking for errors. So much so that the entire box froze up. I put a 16 gig flash drive in and it works great!
The logitech media player now plays almost every format I have. I haven't tried mkv yet but it's an app out that that will.
The Chrome browser is 10 times better than the old version.
The only trip up is getting LaunchPro working correctly. That and Live Wallpapers are hit and miss. They work in the preview and once you set it, nothing happens.

Can you see network shares from Google TV?
Varies by MFG/Device. Most are saying early Q1 for high end devices from this year.

good question... i know there are apps that do it on normal Android devices, but it would be killer if GTV did it!

you mean streaming stuff from a LAN or NAS? yes. That's how I tested the video codec. I have a NAS on my network and a media server. Found both with the media player. I can access the revue via the built in FTP client.
Awesome, thats good to know
Try viber for wifi texting and calling. Its free!

Last gripe about GTV today. I have 515mb of internal space and after I installed Currents, I had 35mb of space which set off the low storage alert. So I was looking at my apps and saw what was eating space. Music eats up 290mb of space and Currents takes up 90mbs of space. It doesn't eat that much on any of my phones. Anyway, after a few minutes, my internal space went from 35mb free to 205mbs free. That's with those apps still taking up space.
I have no idea what's going on there but everything still works.

Pretty much this.

What are some good apps/methods for configuring which apps start up when I turn on the phone? There are a handful of apps that I don't use that came with the phone - they start up in the background whenever I boot up the phone. RAM isn't an issue yet but I want to deal with this before it does become an issue.
Is rooting the phone required?

For me airPush was culprit on Mysettings-app when it was updated little while ago...
Some adds are ok in the app itself but notification area should be free of them..
so apparently ICS for SGS2 should be coming in some form by the end of next weekcan't wait. the design of currents looks like it perfectly matches ICS too.
Does that mean sgs2 variants, too?

Does anyone know if there's a difference between the Google Talk app and the Google+ Messenger app? If all your Talk contacts are also Google+ users, does it make the Google Talk app redundant?
Does that mean sgs2 variants, too?
Doubtful, those are up to their respective carriers.

I'm guessing the US carriers probably have it targeted for the end of 2012.

Dagnabbit Google, hurry up with ICS for Nexus S. Don't want to flash a custom ROM, and if other devices beat the Nexus series to it I will be very disappointed.
I don't think Android tabs will topple iPad anytime soon, but that's kind of a shitty article. It's pretty much "it won't win because I said so"

Thats what I got from it too. People seem to think that Google should care about hardware. Why? They are a software vendor and as loong as many devices carry their OS they are happy.
I was hoping to read an article with actual reasons, instead I see a slideshow. heh.
