Support NeoGAF

[jokkir]

Stock gallery app is gone on the new GPe devices, as predicted.

I feel like the functionality of Gallery is better than Photos as of right now.

I edit a photo via Photos and then I don't even know where that edited photo was saved. It's not in the "Recents" tab or anywhere in the folders :S

Drive and Keyboard got an update, yet the changelog on the playstore has not changed from the last update.

I just got Gmail and Hangouts.

Wow...lots of updates today.

Vacation responders?

Now I just need to take a vacation.

So, looks like this Nexus 7 reboot thing is pretty common and has been a problem since launch. Wish I hadn't waited until now to get the resolve to return it. I don't want to play the RMA/refurbished lottery and really just want a refund. Lesson learned.

Wait, does the version of G+ shipping on them support swiping to it from the right in Camera? Last I heard, disabling Gallery and doing that deleted the last pic you took.

It's been doing that since 4.4.1, swipes right to Photos on my N4.

Dear Google you've been put on notice. Time to step your game up!!!

nope, still garbage. nothing beats Pandora at random select. their desktop (and now Tablet) gimmick is what makes them useful.

I just got Gmail and Hangouts.

So, what Hangouts version do you have?

Settings>About

Really curious. Have not see any of the blogs update about the update.

Yep, Photos is the default now. But the gallery is still there, are there any other side effects if I disable it?

I know you didn't ask me, but my Hangouts updated yesterday to 2.0.216 (939144-30).

 

[The Faceless Master]

Urrrgh. 4.2.2 blocks app ops again.

Ugly, anti-consumer behaviour by Google. Again.

+Danny Holyoake That UI is (and it should be quite clear) not an end-user UI. It was there for development purposes. It wasn't intended to be available. The architecture is used for a growing number of things, but it is not intended to be exposed as a big low-level UI of a big bunch of undifferentiated knobs you can twiddle. For example, it is used now for the per-app notification control, for keeping track of when location was accessed in the new location UI, for some aspects of the new current SMS app control, etc.

I haven't noticed any, disabled on my n7 and n4 to tidy up the draw.

That's the latest version, AFAIK.

Google staged rollouts take some time. So unless I see the blogs light up with news of an update it usually means there is no new update (for the most part).

Keyboard and Drive updated for me, but there is not buzz about it. So who knows.

Picking up a Galaxy Tab 8" for a good price for my gf for xmas... good idea?

 

[Emwitus]

The update gave nexus 4 a transparent notification bar and no nav bar in the lock screen. Geez, thanks google.

 

[Nicktendo86]

nyine noticed the new keypress sounds for 4.3.2? Solo quiet. Taking some getting used to.

I'm not sure "we only made an essential security feature by mistake" actually makes things better.

I wonder if rex got a verizon version.

Was sure Google had forgotten me but got the update just a few minutes ago.

Straight to 4.4.2

So I guess they are just fucking slow.

I am looking for a 4 inch android device to use as an ereader. Is there such a beast, or maybe use a cheap simless phone?

you missed the deal of the year on Black Friday. the ZTE Awe was $20 at Target. 4", dual core snapdragon 400.

The fuck? Disabling gallery also disables my camera. Not cool.

on some devices it's the same app, just different screens.

 

[gcubed]

I love Google Now, but I hate the way GEL shoves it down your throat. From your home screen, there are no fewer than four ways to get to Google Now:

• Say 'OK Google'
• Swipe from the left
• Swipe up from the Home button
• Tap the (unremovable) search bar

It's too much.

You're conflating search and Google now

 

[Vanillalite]

The tablet addition of it being exactly like the desktop player is soooooo $$$$!

Google Search App Update (v3.1.24) Fixes Overlapping Icons On Tablets And Changes The Settings Icon [APK Download]

So they basically fixed GEL issues on devices not officially supported. Is the launcher play store release upon us?

 

[SuperSah]

Note 3 software update is live.

 

[Emwitus]

what?

Or was it that way before? Like having a transparent notification and nav bar for the lock screen after the initial kitkat release for nexus 4? Mine was solid for sure.

 

[brotkasten]

The Search Bar is the most visually accessible option. I think the average user is more used to this method of launching Google search. I would say most people are not willing to yell at their phone "OK Google". So the search bar won't go away anytime soon from the GEL.

In my entire short Android life I've used the search bar not more than 5 times. For me it was always the slowest way to search anything (mostly because the app was slow on my Galaxy Nexus).

I washed my htc one accidently in teh washing machine.

I put it in rice, how long till I can say its deadddddddd.

Which one?

 

[terrier]

still having trouble with exchange on my N5 after 4.4.2 update. Just crashes all the time

It was solid in 4.4 but they made it transparent on 4.4.1, but the buttons are still there.

 

[Emwitus]

I meant they are not there in the lockscreen. At least for me. Was just disappointed they never made it transparent when unlocked. It's like they are touting

 

[Zeppu]

Dammit.

So I found out why the OTA wasn't installing. After being tired of waiting for the OTA to pop up again (after it failed twice last time, which I assumed was because I had a custom recovery) I tried ADB sideload.

During installation it complained about something related to an unexpected velvet.apk. This is because Google disabled Google Now so there's a hack which involves rooting, replacing google search with an earlier version, setting up Google Now and then updating through the store.

Anyway, I'm fucked.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

I haven't noticed any, disabled on my n7 and n4 to tidy up the draw.

Disabled it, my OCD didn't allow for so many duplicate apps.

While cleaning my device a bit, I stumbled across the .thumbnails folder in DCIM, and it's holding up 600mb of space on my device. Really tempted to clean it just up. Inside I found there is a thumbnail of every picture I ever took it seems. Anyone else did this before?
