nope.
Explain to me the purpose of your last thread. Were you trying to pursuade people from using Samsung phone? If not, what was your point?
What? I don't think that why faceless put up the thread.
It was just a mocking thread of samsung being samsung.
Mocking who? Apple fans? I still can't tell.
Mocking samsung...

This Samsung wallet shit pisses me off. Google is so lazy and apathetic about this crap. I'm a Google fanboy; they have many loyal users like me. I want to trust Google with my sensitive payment information. I'm volunteering it! And they don't take advantage of this user base.
But as usual, they introduce a feature and let Apple and Samsung market it away from them. Apple has already worked with airports and ballparks to use Passbook for ticketing. They're going to combine it with NFC payments, probably, with the iPhone 6. Samsung is going to do the same, and probably make a bigger push to work with retailers and other companies. And Wallet is going to remain a nearly-useless product. Google, you have to put up a bigger fight on this stuff.

Why would you mock Samsung?
Meh, as long as the infrastructure support gets put in place it should all work the same. Why does it matter who is pushing it?

You can't define a verb (to Samsung) with a noun (the act).
Look: we here in the Android thread might not have a unified visual design or fully integrated Google services but I'll be damned of we let our grammatical accuracy slip.
Because I want to have access to the functionality on any Android device I own. I don't want to be "stuck" with Samsung in the future to maintain it if I decide to get a future Nexus or something.
You can't mock them if the "Samsung way" is working. Its obviously working better than the HTC way of dealing with Apple.
edit: it would be a mocking if you also post reference of Samsung officials stating they are not copying Apple. But Samsung doesn't deny that. So there is no mocking. Samsung is not being hypocritical here.

Doesn't faceless own a Samsung phone?
_/¯Damn, you're right. I really LGed up.

I mean, once the NFC infrastructure is there and retailers are on board, why couldn't any NFC phone service use it? I'm sure there will be good 3rd party Android apps that take advantage of it for instance.

oh yeah guys, if any of you are still on the OG BEAST, #1 selling Galaxy S device in the US, still in the top 10 in usage, well, rejoice as the Samsung Epic 4G, A Galaxy S Device, powered by Sprint, The Now Network, is now getting CM 10.1 nightly builds!
Looks like Adobe took a hint from Sketchbook guys and made the tablet/phone versions of PS touch seperate apps.
assholes.

But Passbook functionality isn't about NFC. It's about third-party support from vendors... something that Google sucks at getting.

Faceless needs to make the part 2 thread.

They're close to maybe looking similar but not close enough to poke fun at the whole thing again.
Also some slow days for rumours lately.

Hey Android-gaf, what was that free emulator app that was released recently that had support for multiple systems like gba snes and ps1?
Anyone know?

I own both versions of sketchbook, and to be honest I think they should be different, or at least function differently based on the screen size...

this is Android, they can do that in one app.
RetroArch + DualShock 3 + MHL Cable = WIN
I think its done in separate apps to not piss off the guy who paid 10 bux for the tablet version.
Like faceless mentioned, you can do that with a single app.
Funny part is it seems Touch has all the functionality for both versions, just one cheaper. -_-

but the anger is coming from people who paid $10
mainly because now they have to buy it again for their phone

http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/27/4...-are-naming-and-shaming-themselves-on-twitterTweetbot is generally considered the best third-party Twitter client for iOS users, though its $2.99 price point is a bit more expensive than the free official Twitter client. Lots of users find that to be a fair price, but that hasn't stopped jailbroken iPhone users from pirating the app so developer Tapbots has decided to bite back. According to Gizmodo UK, pirated copies of Tweetbot automatically insert an embarrassing admission into the app's tweet compose field, which you can see below.
:lol
I bootlegged the $10 version because the retards ij Adobe doesn't let me buy on my Galaxy Note. I think I am going to buy this one.

i dunno, i use the beta
it appears to be Chrome 25 at least. 25.0.1364.123
indeed. and Chrome beta is 25.0.1364.122
that it is... mind blown.
Much better actually.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It is better, but I think think the AOSP browser feels faster and more responsive.
-Pyromaniac-

still hoping they're planning to roll out a big update with ley lime pie or something. No reason for it to not be as responsive and smooth at this point.
thats got success written all over it
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I think it's still buggy. If you read through the reviews on the playstore post update some people have been having random performance problems and quite a few people have complained of some kind of blurry text rendering bug.

It's there any way to use a wiimote or PS3 controller on an HTC evo 3d/4g?
The Japanese go out of their ways to avoid using a large screen phone.
Mean while, the rest of the world move on and use 5" phones.
