Also on the subject of Aviate, be careful. It crashed on me and after that it just would NOT load at all. Nothing, from rebooting to reinstalling, would allow me to boot it again.

Sorry to those who were looking forward to my Invites, but the only way to do that is from within the app which I can't access any more :/ Maybe they'll patch that soon.

I just downloaded Zino for magazines and it works well on my N7 but the pages don't fill up the full screen. I've noticed Google themselves offer magazines and I was wondering which you guys preferred?

 

[The Faceless Master]

So this new SwiftKey beta... NICE!

Make sure you e-mail the devs about it.

 

[HildyB]

Just a head up on Aviate. Somebody has wiresharked the network and found that all of your installed apps and your location is being sent to server-side (presumably non-encrypted). If you are worried about those stuff then I'd like to advise you to stay away from it for now.

It was patched in an update yesterday. Still might be happening, but you can't see it

I wouldn't mind use SwiftKey if they changed their god awful theme for their keyboard. The replacements arent any better either. Using the Sense keyboard purely for aesthetics.

I use pitch, but I'm guessing that it doesn't look as good on an LCD.

My main problem with SwiftKey is they only offer three alternatives to what you swiped. Swype offers five right away and you can swipe to more. This is critical for me on swipe keyboards.

 

[BadWolf]

People, you have to check out Viral. It's SOOOO much better than the YouTube app.

Customizable, have pop-up outside of app, and the audio keeps on with the screen turned off.

Thanks so much for posting this.

 

[eznark]

Why is "Islamic" one of the default categories on that initial pop-up? The rest are like "what's trending" and"wwhat's new"

Made me laugh.

Doesn't SwiftKey offer three predictions on the next word based on what you just typed? I remember that is why I stopped using it -- because with Swype you have so many alternative to what you just swiped.

Yes, but if you hit backspace you get alternatives to your typed word.

I don't want next word predictions, swiping isn't accurate enough for that to work well. I need word corrections, and lots of them. That is why Swype is best for me.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Wow, Next Browser is terrible with animated gifs. It just can't play them at all. That's approaching a deal killer for it.

 

[HildyB]

Google Play My Apps web site, does everyone show that apps you have purchased are marked as installed even though they are not?

 

[Kansoku]

Same here, but it happens with free apps.

 

[HildyB]

FalconPro was a Purchased app. All my Purchased Apps (which say, just that in the mobile Play application on the phone) also say "Installed" on the web version of the store.

I think SwiftKey's next word predictions are far more powerful long term. Simply because as you use it over time you end up typing/swiping so much less because everything is predicted. I can often "type" whole sentences simply from the first few letters of the first word, followed by correct predictions for the rest of the sentence.

this. SwiftKey just ... KNOWS me.

and i do try other keyboards for a week or so when they have major updates, but i always end up going back because SwiftKey is the best at what it does.

I can imagine your disappointment when you find out you're on a waiting list lol

I can imagine your disappointment when you find out you're on a waiting list lol

That's pretty funny. I almost had a naive thought that maybe BBM would curve more people to BlackBerry, lol, and then BAM: a queue.

 

[Threi]

Yo what the hell blackberry

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Finally got my BBM email saying I can now use it. Even though I've been using it (or can) for about 3 hours lol.

They can't even get that right.

 

[wilflare]

BBM IS OUT

the best messaging client ever glad it's finally here

 

[Threi]

It got removed from the store...and I just noticed that the developer is different ("BlackBerry Limited." vs "BlackBerry Limited")

I think we dun goofed.

*edit*

Its from blackberry's website, so it seems google probably flagged it as a fake app LOL

*edit2*

looks like its back

If anybody has an extra Aviate invite to throw out, I'm interested. Thank you!

Ok, I know this has probably been asked/answered a million times but why the fuck are the Android OT/Android Apps/Nexus 7 OT threads in community but IOS7 OT/IOS apps/Ipad air are all in OT?

BBM is such a joke on iOS/Android. The UI is terrible and just basically a mess. It was so amazing on an actual BB though. They're just 5 years too late.

Ugly themes and still no unified inbox. Is a unified inbox a difficult thing to implement? I love it on my iPad.

seems like a good version of Mailbox (on iOS) for Android!

 

[eznark]

I tried it after switching from iOS (and mailbox, which I loved). I hated it.

Is Dolphin browser still the best for Android or is there something better now?

I'm still waiting for them to port Mailbox over to Android

try Naked Browser Pro
I use it to surf GAF on-the-go, images only while on WiFi!

Is there a minimalistic widget for Gmail in the same vein as Falcon

Found this little gem on Reddit today.

FAQr is a GameFAQs reader app for Android. If you've ever tried reading an FAQ in your browser on an Android device, you know how un-optimized it can feel. It's clumsy to navigate because browsers don't use fixed-width fonts like they should for FAQs, and there's no easy way to jump around the document to certain locations.

Well, FAQr solves pretty much all of those problems and does it with a sleek, easy-to-use interface. Comes with both Light and Dark holo themes, custom fonts and sizes, and most importantly the ability to save FAQs and have multiple saved locations within each FAQ to jump to.

I just played around with it a bit, and it's great. No need to print out FAQs anymore if you have a tablet and this app.

If fitness is your game I suggest Myfitnesspal, Runtastic, and Zombies, run!
If gaming is your, err, game I suggest you check out Walking Dead Assault, Dead Trigger 2, and Pocket RPG. Also search for the Gaf Android Gaming thread for lots of great stuff!
