just got an update for google drive, its the new UI, cards based with slide in menu
Looks nice.
The Gmail update has to be coming soon...right?
Can't wait to see that. It will definitely have the left pop-out menu a la Hangouts and now the Drive app.
4.3 incoming amirite

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
On a side note that new Opera Beta went stable yesterday. So they finally have a stable version of their revamped Android browser based on Chromium.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
A couple of quick notes I've noticed.
1. Most of you people talk like 2 hours or less on your phone each month.
2. Despite the bitching most of you use Chrome over the stock/AOSP browser(s).
3. I'd say like 3/4ths of you aren't even using a full 16 gigs if not more. So needing more than 16 gigs of space stock or an sd card slot doesn't even seem to be an issue.
4. Android-GAF couldn't give a fuck about a mobile data plan for your tablet
5. Almost all of us seem to live in an LTE area even if we don't have an LTE device. LTE basically everywhere around the 1st world now at least?
PS: Who the heck are you? Do we know you around these parts? You seem to be a n00b here.
Anyways people have been commenting on them in the thread so that means they've obviously been reading them.

My phone is more of a portable computer than a phone

Since Chrome was released on Android I've never looked back or used any other browser.

Don't think I need more than 16 gigs. But space is nice so yeah...
4. Android-GAF couldn't give a fuck about a mobile data plan for your tablet
Nope. I find my tablet to be a leisure device so most of the time I'm home on the sofa reading.

If there were a Nexus LTE device with T-mobile bands I would be using LTE.
There.

Lol we can complain about Chrome but still use it. It's still my favorite mobile browser and to me, as a web dev, kicks the everloving crap out of the stock browser. Plus more syncing stuff is nice, and the UI is better. But I can still admit it's kinda janky and stuttery more than it should be.

Are you using a launcher like nova or apex? They have stay in memory options which help with redraws. As a fellow gnexus owner, I feel your pain.
Chrome's UI sucks.

For some reason the new chrome update won't hide the tab bar when I scroll, it works fine on my beta app but not on the normal one. Weird...
LOVE all these app updates with the slide-out drawer and card-themed style! I guess the new head of Android is going hard on unifying everything and making it a consistent experience across Android. Interestingly enough, this new department head for Android is also the department head for Chrome and Apps, so I think that bides well for the future of Android.
What apps do you guys still feel desperately need a new version with the new style? At first though, I'm putting Gmail and Gallery at the top of my list.

Gmail, YouTube, gallery, integrate stock SMS into Hangouts.

The default email and calender apps could use an update.
Probably want this more than the gmail update.

It didn't show the chrome update for me but when I actually go to the chrome app in the store it said update so yeah, that worked.
Chrome, Navigation for Google Maps.
Does it just catch it up to the beta version?
Them curves!
Gotta say J-lo is hands down a great business woman. It's not like shes very talented (acting or singing), but she knows how to leverage her image.
Same goes for Jessica Alba (with that baby product company she launched a while back).

Is Verizon announcing anything here?
They are going to announce that they are finally getting the One X running 4.1 and will promise to upgrade it in the next 12 months

I think so, or at least most of it.
So wait, there's no difference between the stable and beta version? Still haven't gotten the update, but what's the use of it if I can just use the beta?

I'm sure the beta has other stuff going on that is liable to be buggy, but it caught up on the full screen, and tabbed shit, and it does say stability and performance improvements or whatever.
Stable version is likely to be more stable, that's basically the major difference as of now. Unless I'm missing something with the beta and it has something major that isn't included yet.
Just got the update, and I noticed that only the beta has the data savings feature. Probably not the only thing missing from stable.

aaaaaannnnnddddddd now the Amazon Appstore is available in 195 countries. for comparison, the Google Play Store is available in 134 (for paid apps) and Apple, Blackberry and Microsoft are all higher than Google but lower than Amazon.
That's cool and all but damn that app is pure shit.
The difference (I think) is that Google is a huge threat to many industries is many countries, and I would presume has a lot more red tape to cut through. Amazon is seen more of just a big online retailer (for now).
I'm actually shocked that All Access released this fast into Music's product life. Still ways to go for an international presence.
nope. I'm on stock Verizon GNex.
Pretty sure it didn't start to happen until all those app updates after I/O last week. Guess it's just a sign of the phone getting older and more demanding apps.

The new Chrome browser isn't working for me for some reason.
Rumor: Galaxy Note 3 with Android 4.3 scores almost 28K in AnTuTu benchmark
Allegedly showing the next-gen Galaxy Note smartphone, a new AnTuTu benchmark has surfaced providing certain details about the upcoming device.
According to the image below, the Galaxy Note 3 scores no less than 27914 in AnTuTu, of course assuming that we’re actually looking at the real deal.
Yay! Just got 10000000 for free!
