It tells me there are no Android devices associated with this account. I'm pretty sure I connected my phone with this Google account too, so I don't know what the hell is wrong.

I've seen the videos and such, but I don't believe it. I have yet to see a 100% pristine screen. I'm not just talking the usual scratch, but any kind of light hazing etc. I don't know, for roughly 10$ per protector (I actually get the full body protection, not just the screen), I prefer to have the peace of mind that it wont scratch.
What phone do you have and what firmware? You also need to enable use this device as a backup or something so you can see it on the website.
If you have let unknown sources install checked you can side load the apk file (you find it on web and put it on phone, than file browse to it)

Samsung Captivate on AT&T. I'm not sure what firmware I have but I've attempted to update recently and I got some kind of error.
You can go to Settings > About Phone should say in there. If its 2.3.X you should be able to go to something like: Settings > privacy for the back up my data. That should get you to see your phone on the market (also check that your using a google account that is tied to the phone and is "master")
Steam requires Android 2.1 and up (which I think you should be fine).

Also any resolution guru I don't fully understand this stuff.
I have a Galaxy Note (Int'l one - white) which is 1280x800.
I want to watch a video, would 720 be better than 1080 reso video? I tried a 1080 and I get pretty thick black bars.

Hey, can anybody help me on this?
I got Launcher Pro, but I want to switch back to the vanilla design. How do I do it?

Go to settings > applications. Find launcher pro and 'clear defaults'.
Press home and you will be asked what to use.

Thanks!
Not sure what your problem is but it is exactly the same aspect ratio. Obviously 1280x800 is a 16:10 aspect ratio. There is going to be lines.
crope the video using dice player or some such.
HD content is presented in a 16:9 ratio, so natively, all content will have leterboxing on your note.

My friend was unfortunate enough to get a Samsung Transform that he's stuck with for another year. I'd like to make it better? Are there any instructions on how to root a Samsung Transform? And, if so what ROM should I flash to it?
Or is he stuck with a shitty phone forever?

I keep seeing the Galaxy Nexus listed as Titanium Silver, is that its colour code/name or am I missing something here?
On a related note; how does this phone hold up against say the S2? Has anyone experienced any problems with the phone? How good/bad the battery life is?
Reviews don't give me much to be honest, sometimes I learn more from asking on forums. In case anyone thinks my questions are somewhat stupid. (Which they're, somewhat.)

correct. installing just a custom recovery and pre-rooted kernel won't do anything to his apps.
if he decides to try a custom rom though, those will usually wipe the device. for that, he would use something like titanium backup or a nandroid backup to backup before flashing a custom rom and restoring apps and their data after.
Thats the color. I think the names were different dependent on country but they were the same color.
The biggest advantages the Gnex has over the S2 is that its a nexus phone, and its screen. Other then that, the S2 could be argued for it being better. Once the GS2 gets ICS the only real advantage is faster updates and its screen.
on a separate note, i think the openness of Android is ultimately going to be its downfall.
Or you can also use QuickPic (definitely the fastest picture viewer on Android) and have it create .nomedia files. Just another suggestion.

Actually the ICS gallery is equally fast, if not a hair bit faster. But it has delete function, so I will keep quickpic as well.
Really? Cause on my Tuna the Gallery app takes a bit longer to render the thumbs. I'm stuck on 4.0.2, so maybe Google has made it faster since.
Will check later today on my Transformer which is running 4.0.3 and see if it is faster.

Like I've said, HTC peaked at the Nexus One. Not that it looks bad, but they always do a Brian McKnight on their designs.

Chrome beta was updated today, btw. Seems a bit snappier.

When I go to Software Update, it gives me a little message that tells me that DM initialization is not ready. My phone is seriously fucked up.
Biggest feature of quickpic that puts it over the stock gallery for me is great animated gif support
And that does look pretty clean. Wish they went with on screen buttons though
I mean...you can say that about most manufacturers though. Every recent samsung phone looks the same aside from a square shape or a curve

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
That's what I see, too. Boring. I also hate the hardware buttons.
well at least this'll have an unlockable bootloader!i like it.
had so much potential
Now that I think about it, how the hell are phones running 4.0 with 3 hardware keys going to deal with the software menu button on pre-4.0 apps?
true! it wont matter as much!
They'll probably double up the home key for recent apps, and leave the other button for menus, or worse, force an on-screen menu button/bar.
I'm starting to hate this trend
come on...really? That's so sloppy!
That's just pre production stuff, I'm assuming no phone ever releases like that.

thats not a part of ICS. It has to be a buggy build. If you have hardware keys, the software keys go away.
I wouldn't doubt if Acer just put an ICS screenshot on the screen and said "wooo ICS!"
That looks like complete shit. So so wrong.I'm starting to hate this trend
come on...really? That's so sloppy!
Duarte must be crying inside seeing that thing.. if its real
Need another search bar and a Bronzy Buddy widget.

That's because it's running vanilla ICS. The actual phone will be running yet another stupid bullshit skin, that's why it looks stupid right now.

Does anybody know why the Galaxy S2 Epic Touch is only $50 at Amazon but still $200 at Best Buy or Sprint? Is there something different about this version or just Amazon having a great deal? I'm trying to choose between the Epic and 4S and it being only $50 (and being able to use flash sites) would probably make me choose it.

It's only $50 for new costumers, meaning if this is an upgrade for you then you'll have to pay the regular $150.

I'm switching over from ATT, so I'd be a new customer. I was going to go to the Sprint Store or Best Buy today to get it but would obviously prefer to pay $50 over $200 if it's the same one offered. That's a big gap in price.

It has to be the same one, Amazon is just awesome
I think....maybe someone else who knows more about this offer can help.
