It should have asked you the first time you clicked on a YouTube link how you wanted to open it. But if you go to the settings, go into Chrome (or whatever browser you use) and clear the defaults for it, it should ask you again next time you click on a YouTube link.

Hey, my ASUS TF300 updated to 4.2, but I can't do photosphere still. What am I doing wrong? I only have the option for normal and panorama in my camera app.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
Asus didn't add it in because they're idiots.
The Tf300 has a gyroscope so it's no reason why they forgot to include it.
Maybe it'll come later in one of the bi-weekly updates.
I don't think Dolphin does. Write nasty review on Play store!

Android Central just got an HTC One. Here are the initial thoughts:

Seriously, if it wasn't for Sense I'd be all over this.

if it helps, just about every hands on says sense 5 is much better than it used to be.
Why can't you use a different launcher?
I also hate everything about those capacitive buttons and the way they're handled.
Love it.

Heh, I just realized in the current Chrome Beta, the back button takes you through previous zoom levels on a page before going back in browser history. It's kinda useful, I guess, but we'll see if it gets annoying after extended use.

So AT&T finally pushed the JB update for the One X(L) last week. Not that I really care because I've already moved onto CyanogenMod. That being said the update did come with new radios which I finally took the time to flash tonight. It hasn't been long enough to comment on if I get better signal or if LTE speed has improved at all yet.

So I got my hands on an HTC One today and I think I'm sold.
My HTC rep came in with what he called a European preproduction model. Looks the same as all the screenshots and seems to be fully working. However he states that the Android version on the device was 4.1.2 but here in Canada we'll see it released with Android 4.2. I gotta say, it's probably the sexiest looking cellphone I've ever held, and I've pretty much held them all. For me a 5" screen is too big. So seeing this 4.7" screen really seemed like a better fit. Especially seeing how damned close the screen is to the edge of the phone.
Some points from my 20 mins with the phone are:
Great looking screen, but with a bit too much hint of blue, same as what the Optimus G suffered from, but I'm sure an app could calibrate that.
Very fast as you'd expect nowadays. Even during fast scrolls of the new main screen feed. However that feed takes up most of the main page, so people will probably turn it off, especially if they prefer a more minimalistic look.
Perfect weight for a phone. Not too light like the iPhone 5, and definitely better than the muscle building Nokia 920.
Pictures looked great. Zoe was a cool idea, especially the very quick way off converting your pics and 3 second video to a short movie. You can select different preprogrammed songs to change the speed of the pictures and short videos changing. Didn't see if you could put your own music into it. Didn't get to check out its low light capabilities in our bright store, and I tried to ignore his over-hyping of the 4 ultra pixel blurb, but it took pictures very quickly.
He demo'd the new IR remote feature, which finds your model of TV or whatnot by the old school way of guesswork. You put in the manufacturer and then keep pressing the "turn on TV" button until it gets the right code. I also didn't see a way of integrating multiple components at once into a single button press. So it certainly won't replace my Harmony One, but software could change all that.
Not sure about the home button being on the bottom right instead of the middle, but I could get used to it.
Anyway, if anyone has questions I might have the answers. Didn't spend too long with it, but its a hell of a phone so far, and so god damned nice looking in person. I'm probably going into sell my 4s and get this as a replacement.

I have a Nexus 4 now and I want to get a phone plan. The $30/Month 100Minute Talk/Unlimited Text and Data seems very appealing.
I can get more calls using Viber.
Can anyone help me? I am tired of using my iPhone 3G for calls!

Are you in the US or somewhere else in the world?
My buddy in the US with a Nexus 4 got on the Straight Talk $45 unlimited everything deal. He got to pick between T-Mo and AT&T piggybacking, and he went with AT&T. So far he has no qualms (lives in Philly).
I told you.....

The difference is that LG devices are available on more than one carrier in one country in the whole world. I still don't know how Motorola became Verizon's pet bitch but if Google wants to turn them around they'd better start making phones that work everywhere in the world again and which are sold everywhere too.
The DROID RAZR HD MAXX ULTRA XT KEVLAR EXTREME EDITION GTX has a lot of bezel which makes it much wider than it needs to be. If it had less bezel it would probably be easier to hold. My Note II is easier to for me to hold in my hand than a DROID RAZR HD MAXX ULTRA XT KEVLAR EXTREME EDITION GTX even though it has a much larger screen, because the Note II actually seems like it was designed to be held by human hands instead of cyborg ones.

We have this same song and dance every year with HTC. They supposedly make a great phone, new resurgence, Sense is great. Then a few months later, everyone hates the phone. It's the Sonic Cycle applied to HTC.
Still set for July? Thats too far away man.

Since I don't need a ton of space so I don't need an SD Cart Slot I'm still extremely happy with my One XL running CM from last year. Haters be damned, and this screen is still ZOMG AMAZAEYEBALLS!

HTC = Fucked
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_might_get_delayed_due_to_components_shortage-news-5667.php
"Industrial sources suggest HTC is having a bad time with the HTC One flagship manufacturing. The latest reports claim HTC is capable of producing just 20% of the stock it's supposed to."
"The massive cut in production is because of the shortage of two components - the voice coil motor and the camera module. Because of the camera module shortages HTC might ship only 800,000 to 1,200,000 One smartphones in the next couple of months."
I have separately heard there is a shortage of screens also because of the custom size and there is a general shortage of SD600 which is causing problems for everyone.
They are going to get absolutely steamrolled by the GS4 next week and if they are launching in the same timeframe then it will fail. Samsung will out market and out hype them. Say what you want about Sony, at least the Z and ZL are out there and people are buying them right now.

Thats good news for Xperia Z! HTC One is a beautiful phone no doubt, but it costs upwards to 700 and should've come out a few weeks earlier, shortages will only make things worse for HTC. I guess the lesson for other Android manufacturers is to release their flagship phones before the next Galaxy is announced and released. This year it also put pressure on Samsung to come out earlier with S4.
yeah
has anyone else noticed US/CAN carriers have been really quiet this year?

To be honest I asked most of those questions to my rep after he showed me, so it's not far off lol
They're all licking their wounds from the Nexus 4 and prepaid movement.

I made a separate thread so it wouldn't be buried in here.
New Android App Allows Google Music Stored Songs Played By 3rd Party Music Players!
This gets around the fact that normally the Google Cloud Music stuff is a different file type and flagged differently so 3rd party players can't see or play the files.

Bell in Canada hasn't gotten a decent phone in as long as I can remember.
The first really good phones they will get since the S3 came out last year will be the One/ZL/S4.
It's like nothing happened for a while then boom all of a sudden 3 flagships coming out in the same vicinity. Not that it matters since Samsung will flood the other 2 and win out, but yeah

Well to be fair isn't that how people want it? We don't want 10 different phones from everybody. We want like 3 aka the regular flagship, the phablet, and then the scaled down flagship that's on the cheaper low.
Plus since we are getting a main Android update once a year no need to pump out new hardware all the time.

yeah I don't mind it, it's why I mentioned a while back I wanted to move my annual upgrade from November to around March/April/May. That's when all the good shit comes out.

Not that anyone really cares, but the patch H8Rift got merged into CM 10.1 is bossly in fixing the shitty picture resolution when I use to send MMS. Shit is way better now, and I don't feel like I need to use some 3rd party client.
PS: I know this is the Android thread, but it also feels like a community thread. Makes me want to ask some stuff to you n00bs about other stuff.

I don't know. Most of us here probably know that it's just another Motorola phone and we know what that means. I can't think of one thing, one feature that would make me eat crow. At best it will be another Galaxy clone, like that one LG.
