They're too busy defending Twitter's lack of tablet layout on G+ to work on Android.
Just realised I can't use it though. I rooted the phone. :/
It still has the stock rom on, it's just that I rooted it so I could unlock the sim for free.
The current version on XDA is 3.32.401.5. Just want to find out if that is the same version.
Want Google scrambling to update something?...Get Apple on it.

Why not install a custom ICS rom on it then?

Why bother defending it where no-one read it?
A little bit down the thread. https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/X4RM2UeB4uc
Dianne Hackborn - +Mitchell Eve It's not like one couldn't pick some iOS apps that don't support large screens and show them. Not to say Android isn't behind in this area, but there is a whole lot of marketing going on in that.
I could also take an iOS vs. Android app that doesn't have a large screen layout on either side and compare them. Android would probably be ahead.In Android at least we can relayout the UI so that you get more rows in a list and such. In iOS you get the exact phone UI, but either in a postage stamp on the screen or blown up so that everything including text is larger.
You should see the jelly seething from all the android lovers on G+ after the ipad announcement. It's pretty entertaining.

Actually the people that want that layout should look at the twitter client we got on google tv which is pure shit. I'm sure it's a "tablet" layout but it's pretty much useless. You can read tweets but that's it. No pictures..no trends, no DMs...just tweets...and no you can't get rid of it.
This is why competition is good, that's the right reaction, and they are bitching at the right people on the proper social network.
You gotta hit Google's ego where it hurts. I would have + all the top level people just for shits and giggles.
Well, the tablet and google tv layouts can be separate, but yea some Google TV layouts are crap (youtube, though they fixed it a bit recently).
I was going to, but I realized how offtopic the discussion was. haha.

Some dude over at XDA unpacked the Archos ICS update and found the funny:
Not only do Archos have time to update their tables to 4.0.3, they also have time to make funny while they do it! Ok it's a worn out old meme, but still.
Meanwhile, on Google+..... bittertears.jpg

I love you really Google and Android Team
The problem, Hackborn, is that there aren't many high quality apps that are designed around the tablet interface. I agree that reflowing phone apps is better than iOS' method of scaling a static layout, but it kind of misses the main point. Both are less than average user experiences. It should be about getting apps specifically designed for tablets, not who can provide the best stop gap solution.Dianne Hackborn - +Mitchell Eve It's not like one couldn't pick some iOS apps that don't support large screens and show them.

Cross posting from another forum because maybe someone here knows the answer and to give more people a heads up on the deal:
I'm trying to buy a book but when I go to purchase it's telling me my credit card is not supported. It's the same credit card I use to buy all my books and apps from the market and I just checked with a few other apps and books and there does not appear to be a problem. Anyone have a clue what the issue could be?
On a related note, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain is on sale for 25 cents if anyone else is interested. I've always heard very good things about this book. Would really like to be able to snap it up for this cheap.

Google always said that they are not putting 4.0.3 on the Galaxy Nexus and that 4.0.3 was essentially 4.0.2 but for OEMs and AOSP.
There are some slight differences, but the toro gets 4.0.4 and the maguro gets 4.0.5.
Why are android fans being jelly? The only thing really interesting about the ipad 3 is that it's going to have a much more power GPU than any android tablet for at least the next 5-6 months. But there's no reason to be jelly over that at the moment because there are no games on android or announced to come out in the immediate future that will take advantage of anything more powerful than the Tegra 3.
GSII (international) to get ICS in 2 DAYS

Use gaf mobile. That's the only way I know
If you have to use the full site the easiest way is to highlight the text then do the 'find on page' option.
I wonder if it'll have the ICS spelling correction, which was missing from the leaked builds. Not sure if that's a patent issue or they just hadn't implemented it yet. If not I'll probably stick with CM9 and hope that released sources help get some of the issues fixed.
You can long press to highlight in chrome, but it doesn't work with stocked browser
Thanks guys, both of these work. I'll have to play around a bit and see which way I like best.
It's just funny seeing the conversations keep drilling down to core counts, when it's pretty much known that even with all of nvidias ninja core it's still a lackluster chipset, TI, Qualcomm, etc. I think only Samsung has a chance to make something worthwhile, but that won't be till years end. There was a glimpse of Android tablets having the upper hand with the screens but not now .Maybe if Samsung pulls out a Refrigerator approved resolution SAMOLED HD + screen.
I don't see screen/chip/battery combo getting matched by any oem out there.
Anybody have experience with Incipio cases? How does this look?

Custom ICS roms for AT&T and possibly other versions should come soon

Google, Asus to hook up on 7-inch Android tablet, says report
So, is the Memo 370T transforms into the Nexus Tablet?
So, is the Memo 370T transforms into the Nexus Tablet?
I hope at least one of the versions has a proper pen and can makes calls. None of that rubbish capacitive stylus, please.
Well, that's exactly what I have done. I got the phone in January and was undecided at the time whether I was going to keep it. At first I thought about selling it and getting a Galaxy Nexus, and then decided to wait until after Mobile Congress. I kept stock on it for that reason, but I had to root it anyway to unlock the sim.
I don't like how big these new phones are so I'm going to keep this phone for a bit and see what else comes out. I have Revolution 6.5.0 on it now. Only thing is there isn't an XE version yet of that particular rom, but it is only the beats audio software that is missing.
The Phone actually plays GTA III on high settings without fps drops now.
Yeah possibly. What I mean is, ARHD custom rom usually has two versions for sensation: the normal version and XE. The current rom doesn't have the XE version yet. I just went with the normal rom anyway as all it really means is it is without Beats Audio.

There's one called Groundhog, but it's not real well executed. Google Groups has a mobile site, but if you accidentally post from it may God have mercy on your soul.

So I installed AOKP Milestone 4 yesterday on my GSM Galaxy Nexus
Fantastic ROM, I love it, everything works great.
Woke up this morning... "No SIM card"
Reboot phone, swap SIMs, check to see if my sim works in another phone
"No SIM card"
Recover backup to stock 4.0.2
"No SIM card"
Wipe cache, re-flash radio
"No SIM card"
Well this really fucking sucks.
My radio can't be completely fucked beyond repair, can it? It's still connecting to the "emergency service" network and shows a strong signal.

Try reflashing the ROM and Radio. I'd suggest a full wipe followed by reflash if the problem's still there after first flash.
i wouldn't imagine they would. If they are trying to save money that means its going to be an 8gb tablet (for $199). It would be a massive fail if they dont have an SD Card

I flashed the google factory image over fastboot with the galaxy nexus toolkit and now it's no longer saying "No SIM card", but it just doesn't connect to my network now.

I'm assuming that it will be about 400-500 total in the US, with the phone on a 2 year contract

So good news I think.
I put in another SIM card and just left it for a few minutes and it actually connected and I was able to make calls.
Guess my SIM card died. Going to head to the mall for a replacement.

Pounds rarely convert straight for electronics. It's usally 1:1, so I'm guessing $700-$800 for the setup.
