Polygon updated review scores.
What are some good call blocker apps? The one I use now works, but it keeps giving me a notification saying it's blocked a call/SMS, even though I turned that off. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

It can't access your credit card. The permission is so that it can in the future allow you to make some in-app purchases. You still have full permission to tell it no and everything else. Without that permission, the app doesn't even have the ability to ask you about billing and show you the relevant dialogs. Most 'improperly designed' applications generally crash in that instance.
Android Settings(not the app settings) >>> Applications >>> find Call Blocker on the list, and disable the flag Show notifications.
Shit, I keep forgetting that's even an option. Thanks man.

someone was trying to port the Note 10.1 multi window system to the phones, dunno if they ever got it working well.
Guys, I just bought my first Android phone after owning a Lumia. So far the only thing I really, really don't like is how music sync-ing works 
Zune is pretty much perfect and I can't find anything similar I can use on Android. The Google Play music player for PC is currently not available in my country... what else can I use? Suggestions would be appreciated.

Can anyone please the calendar dates and clock times feature? Someone said they were getting crashes but I've tested on 2 devices and can't reproduce.
Yup, both crashed my Note 2. Sent the crash reports

Hm ok, I got the crash report and it's a divide by 0 error. I'm only able to get that if I leave the dates unset. What dates are you setting?
Tasker has got to be the most badly designed apps I have ever used -- even with the "holo" redesign.
For example: When trying to go back to the list of conditions or re-input a condition, you have to use some "X" at the top right instead of just hitting the back button on the top left (like every other app out there). The menus are so confusing. Finding conditions are so difficult even when they're categorized and so on.
Llama seems a lot easier to use if you're just using a location profiler. But I know Tasker can be a lot more powerful than it.
I'll have more impressions later when I get used to this terrible interface >__>

What are your key/spacing size settings for kii keyboard? I like the layout of your setup.
Yeah, it's utter trash. Also the toast notifications stack on top of each other, so they can go on for a loooong time if you try to spam the back button.
Pretty sure at default values... so unset?
Yup, confirmed. Leaving them unset crashes the app
Looking into it currently, but what are practical every day uses for Takser? I get that it will probably depend on the user, however I'm still in the early stages of figuring out what I actually want to do with my phone and what it can do.

From a reddit post:
Now implementing them, on the other hand.... haha
Also check out http://www.reddit.com/r/tasker
Nope.
Thanks, I ended up at both of those after a bit of looking into it. Off hand, I can't think of what I'd REALLY need this for at the moment. That said, I can see the future value in this so might pick it up at the lower price.
This is what I did. I got it mainly for screen lock on/off for when I'm at out/home, but now I also use it to auto-turn on/off GPS and auto rotate for certain apps. Pretty cool stuff.

OK, I've put a check in to make sure no blank fields. That should solve it
Also updated the app with a files option. You can generate a file of a given size with random datahttps://play.google.com/store/apps/...wiY29tLmZsdWZmeWRlbHVzaW9ucy5hcHAucmFuZG9tIl0.

Hi all, maybe you can help me with this.
I once saw this call blocking app that would send a message that you customize back to the caller. Sadly, for the life of me I can't remember what the name of that app is. Does anyone know? Please share if you do!

Guys, I just bought my first Android phone after owning a Lumia. So far the only thing I really, really don't like is how music sync-ing works
There's really nothing that's comparable to Google Music for syncing music to the cloud and having it nicely integrated on the phone, AFAIK. And yes, it sucks that it's not available in most of the world (we don't have it here either).
However, you can very easily get around that by visiting the Google Music site via a US proxy. Doing that will let you sign up, and then you can stop using the proxy, because once you've signed up your location is never checked again (probably to let "legitimate" users use the service even when outside their own country).
If you feel a bit hesitant about doing this with your main Google account (the GMusic TOS do say you are not allowed circumvent the regional restrictions) you can do it with a secondary account which you only use for this, and then add that account on your phone. That's what I did, works perfectly. I'll migrate my music to my main account once the service is available here.
Amazon offers pretty much the same service - upload storage combined with an online music store.
I don't think Google cares, I've had it activated on my main account for a long time. I think they'd rather make more money off me than less

ROM toolbox pro is also on sale. Any quick impressions before I commit a whole $3? I'm rooted, and I use my backup root rather than titanium backup...
I don't use ROM Toolbox Pro for my full backups as they've never worked when I needed to restore my phone for some reason. I just use Titanium Backup + Carbon for that. Haven't really relied on a full image backup anymore as I just make sure I keep a previously functioning ROM that I can flash and restore with the aforementioned combination of apps.
ROM toolbox does have a nice boot-animation tool that allows you to customize your boot animations super easily, and with a lot of animation options. They have kernel controls, adblock tools, and a bunch of other options that I would say are worth it if you're just using that tool alone to provide a host of functions for your device. The adblock works well for devices tethered to your phone, as it's hindered many a Hulu-watching session, so I had to disable it.
I don't use it anymore, as I've switched over to apps the serve one specific function, like Titanium for APK restores, Carbon for app data, Franco kernel for performance control. I don't use the boot-animation feature anymore, which is what it was essentially relegated to after I developed a workflow for crack flashing using other apps.
Can't really justify it myself, but the combination of cost for other apps that provide similar, but singular functionality is much more expensive. But I would recommend supporting those developers if you find you use them often anyway.
