Wasn't Bejeweled 2 a relatively old and not updated port until recently?
I remember earlier this year after a sale or something, there were a bunch of complaint that it didn't work on a ton of devices...

well, they're Amazon comments. worst commenters ever when it comes to apps. they definitely don't look alike and a quick Google search had results of some people comparing the two and contrasting their features.Pctx said:
i know my friend couldn't get it to work at all on his Transformer, even after transferring the APK from his phone, but that was last spring... it had issues back then with his phone as well... but it did run... that's why i looked it up back then... lots of people had issues.
So, (Euro)GAF. Looking for a new phone since my HTC Touch Diamond 2 is kind of dead.
I don't really have any specifications other than the really generic: Pretty fast processor (1Ghz), relatively big screen size (minimal size is HTC Desire's size) and the rest is pretty much looking at a provider subscription. Plus general lifetime needs to be reasonable. Dunno if I'm gonna get a year dataplan or two years.
Battery life is absolutely important to me, is what I learned after my TD2 battery slowly died.
Like I said, it's probably specifications EVERYONE wants
Things I had in mind:
HTC Desire Z
I love the hardware keyboard for games and the likes, but in the end it's only a 800 Mhz processor plus I dunno if the hardware buttons actually work in every game or that they need to be compatible with it.
HTC Sensation
Seems like a pretty logical step up, but it also seems like standard HTC fare. And I dunno how it faces competition in terms of speed.
And furthermost, I'm completely unknowing on Motorola, LG and Sony Ericsson. Apparently the LG's aren't all that and I'm not interested in a SE Xperia Play.
I know my way around Android, but I still have a question; I'm not really fond of most layers that go over Android, ie Samsung or LG. If I just put LauncherPro on it, does it eliminate the layout or do I need to do a complete rom haul?
As for Dutch gaffers, what is the cheapest dataplan with a reasonable amount of internet? (Think 500MB) I was looking at tmobile's smart plus plan but apparently tmobile isn't all that. Am on vodafone at the moment.
So that's that! Help me to a phone and answer my questions GAF.

So I downloaded the ICS Music .apk when it was posted on here a month or so ago.
I tried to update to the latest version last night, and it says the app "isn't signed."
Do I probably just have to delete the beta ICS Music app I have on my phone now, and it should then let me download the new Music?

ok. My battery died but I'll try that after work.
and I have an old version of the Market on my phone. I use a Droid X with a custom ROM that isn't updated anymore, so I guess taht's why I still have the old market.
It's this one:
is there any surefire way to get the new Market, or do I probably have to get on a newer ROM?

Not sure. I might be remembering incorrectly, but when I was using Fission, I could have sworn market would still update on it's own. The only time I had an issue was when I used customized market apks that had different skins.Futureman said:ok. My battery died but I'll try that after work.

You should be able to find a more recent market apk by some random Googling for it, or ind it on various android news sites like Droid-life or something. It's really odd that your market didn't update automatically.Futureman said:
That and, frankly, I would go with a newer, better ROM to begin with.
hikarutilmitt said:
You know how touchscreens will freakout sometimes and press random things? That's pretty much the only issue I've ever really had with this ROM, and I've always figured that's a physical issue with the touchscreen. So I've stayed on this ROM as I never have any random rebooting, my battery always last all day, GPS always works fine, etc.
I've been tempted to go with Cyanogen Mod, but it seems like it's not totally stable on a Droid X so I've stayed clear.

I've been running CM7 on my Droid X since it was first released. In fact, the CM4DX GB nightlies are super stable and fast.

oh, in that case, get a HTC ChachaMNC said:Everyone already has a Samsung Galaxy S II
I have a D2 and I've been hesitant to go the CM7 nightly. What's your opinion on it versus Fission and stock? Last I checked, CM7 didn't have camera working and had wifi/bluetooth issues.hikarutilmitt said:
I'm currently running rooted stock Gingerbread and while it's mostly fine, I get occasional keyboard stutters and reboots when I connect with my car dock/desk dock. It also either auto-drops my phone calls when I connect the car stereo headphone jack or plays music simultaneously during a phone call. I never had that happen with Froyo or Fission.

For those who have the newest Market, but don't yet have the update for Music, just go in and update your "Content Filtering" in Settings....
Settings --> Content Filtering --> Check all boxes --> Click OK
It will go back to the main page, refresh itself, ask you to accept the T&C, and then voilà, you'll have the updated market.

I can't speak too much for the D2, but since it and the DX share similar CM7 bases, it should be a good experience. The no camera and camera FC issues that were there have long since been fixed. I never used Fission, but before CM7 I had run stock Froyo, stock GB and Liberty in both flavors. I much prefer CM7.3pheMeraLmiX said:

Anyone know if there are any decent android phones with sliders / qwerty keyboards? Missus is after a new phone and I can't seem to find any other than the 1 year old Desire Z.
If not, what's generally considered to be the best standard Android phone at the mo? Galaxy Nexus? Galaxy SII?

I played with the Samsung Captivate Glide earlier this week. It comes out this Sunday at AT&T. I'm not really one for a physical keyboard, but it felt quite nice. Kind of thick compared to other super-slim phones these days, but with a keyboard that is to be expected. The phone is nothing super high-end, but still has Gingerbread (2.3.5) and a Tegra 2 so it's a very nice average phone. I think it is only going to be $99 on contract when it comes out, so not bad.Psychotext said:

Thanks, I'll have a look.Circle T said:
Though it's probably about time she learned to live with a virtual keyboard.
Not sure what you mean by profile but I use an app called Llama to automate changing settings based on time of day, location, etc.equap said:
It is a pretty powerful little app. I have it configured to silence my phone after 10pm and turns the sound back on at 7am. I also have it configured to enable blutooth and gps when in the car dock and to disable them when I undock as well as enabling wifi when I'm at home.
