Nope, I updated last night and everything is fine with my 900.
I just tried Cinemagraph on my 900 (with 7.8) and it works.Did that several times, it always crashes

Looks interesting, and its always nice to see games making their way to our platform. Probably not something i'd ever play, but at least the graphics are decent lol.

Once Unity engine comes out of beta, expect a lot more games and simultaneous releases.
Once it's out, I'll work on a game

I bought it on my Nexus. Sigh, looking at Play catalog, Microsoft store is way behind. I am looking at all Square games on there. I can actually retired my DS.
I can see why people that are app centric would have terrible time switching to WP.
What does this even mean?
Wp8 give camera apps direct access to hardware features like sepia/effects/etc.
The alternative is taking a picture and then sending it to other apps for post processing.
I meant it in terms of UI. With other operating systems, when you want to use an app like Photosynth or Cinemagram, you go to the home screen, scroll to the app icon and start it. On Windows Phone 8 you can just launch the camera (e.g. when the phone is locked by holding the dedicated camera button), then press the 'lenses' button, which shows you all apps that integrate with the camera, and select e.g. the Photosynth lens. It doesn't even just open the regular Photosynth app, but just the picture-taking part of it, so you can immediately capture the scene. Photos taken with apps like Photosynth or Cinemagram will then appear directly in the list of previous photos, like regular photos except that you can open them with the respective app.
So in a way every app can integrate as nicely with the camera experience as e.g. Samsung's or Apples own camera features.

I'm actually quite surprised by how effective it was at guessing stuff. They also look good.

I hadn't noticed the "buzz" section of the Xbox music artist page on the phone. It links to gigs, videos etc. for the artist. I'm assuming its not available in all countries, but if it shows up for you, it's pretty useful. Click on the artist in the music hub then wait a bit, it should show up as a tab if its enabled for your country.
I think you need to have suggestions turned on as well.

Welcome to the Master Race, friend. Don't forget that you can now run 2 apps at once in split-screen with Multi-Window! Also, if you are looking for a great music player for your locally stored music, I use Poweramp and it was worth every penny I spent on it since my phone is my PMP and has been for years now. Obviously for streaming just use the Google Music player so you can access your up to 20,000 songs for free from the cloud.
On Android first you have the stock Note II browser which is actually really great and I prefer it, and then you can also choose from Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and a bunch of other lesser-known options like Dolphin.

Indeed, because saying IE10 Mobile is on par with whatever Android has to offer is kind of ridiculous.

Frequently. Android-GAF are a pretty cool group of guys, you should stop by sometime and say hi! We don't bite! I don't hang out in the iOS threads so I can't speak to the state of Apple-GAF.
I frequent both Android and WP, there is lots of cross discussion. Don't give a rats ass about iOS.
I'm sure Android Gaf is fine, but I generally little interest in the platform.

We always talk about WebOS and BB10 in the Android thread.

I think its at least on par with android stock browser. Btw, did you check out surfcube for swiping for bookmarks?

I don't even mind that, but the galaxy note 2 feature set discussion from soldier was kinda weird. But then again, its soldier. That's what he does.

Everyone else seemed to think it was perfectly normal, and people even called out your weird response to my post. He specifically mentioned that he uses the music player, so I just told him about the cool things Android has for music playback. I'm honestly not even sure what you're getting mad about this time. But then again, getting mad is what you do.
I was going to comment about the "Master Race" crap, but didn't bother. Hate that shit in OT just as much as in the gaming side.

I've calmed down a bit. Go on, tell us more galaxy note 2 features that we may not know about.

Aw, the Master Race thing is always a joke these days, I didn't think anyone still took it seriously. I didn't mean it like that. I'm a PC and console gamer and I always have been, so the whole Master Race thing is just funny to me because I play on any gaming platform which offers me compelling content.

I'm trying out surfcube, and it works nicely, but why can't it keep my tabs when I head to the home screen and then open it again?

I just discovered dolphin on my Nexus 7 and it is better than Chrome.
I prefer IE10 on my laptop to the latest Chrome and Chrome on Android is terrible after the last update. I also don't mind IE10 on Windows Phone 8, I think it's fast and fluid. Microsoft also need to get off this IE version and just update them. Also tie the new version to the OS is pretty retard on their part so I have no sympathy for them for loosing marketshare.
So after using Battery Level for WP8, Battery, and Battery Sense all at different times given their varied availability in Marketplace, I got to hand it to Battery Sense as the best battery tracking app in the Store. Has a solid design, WP8 centric data rich wide tiles, if that's your thing, and a nice data tracking section with a bunch of stats.

That's a shame.
I saw the thread over on gaming side about the new XBLA game coming out from the developers, Press Play, and got a real urge to play Tentacles.
Wonder why it doesnt work on WP8? Aren't they now an MS first party.

Since Sprint is forcing me to wait until summer for a WP8 device I wonder what Samsung will offer after seeing the specs of the Galaxy S4. I think HTC will also offer one device but nothing from Nokia [which is a shame really].
