Speaking of themes, whenever Beautiful Widgets updated in the Play store, it crashed my Nexus 7 so I decided to uninstall it. It then crashed my tablet for the final time. Since I have, I've noticed that my tablet has much better performance. Apps are smoother and it never hangs.

[B]NOPE[/B], not good enough.[/QUOTE] Except they aren't trying their best, the hardware is out there and the only issue is that every Android SoC maker cries about using powerVR chips because Apple invests in them. [editline]23rd December 2012[/editline] The exception is Intel who also invests in Imagination Technologies. Maybe if Android OEMs had even the slightest bit of foresight, they would have seen the need for high bandwidth powerful SoCs with monstrous graphics chips to power these high res displays, before the displays showed up.

I know Geel9's Facepunch app is bad but its gotta be better than using chrome right?

Last time I checked it didn't work for anyone.

I've only been using my sisters iPhone for two days and I already miss my Droid X

[QUOTE=reevezy67;38940667]I know Geel9's Facepunch app is bad but its gotta be better than using chrome right?[/QUOTE] I've been using it a fair bit lately. It actually works really well, however a while ago it was broken for a few months or so. But the current version works properly and is worth using

Tried it, nothing but errors.

Hey guys, what are some creative ways to sort of blur the line between my mobile phone an my tablet? In other words, are there any tricks to make my phone behave more like a dumb terminal for my tablet via WiFi or Bluetooth? It doesn't have to be exactly that, but something to make using the both behave more like a singular entity would be nice, even if it involved something as simple as hooking up a bunch of symlinks between the two wirelessly. [editline]23rd December 2012[/editline] For example, it would be cool to take a picture with my phone and start editing it on my tablet and then uploading the file over 3g with my phone without having to do any gymnastics with uploading to the cloud or futzing with removable storage, or maybe my tablet is in my backpack and I want to pull up a document I have on it from my phone.

If it was it would take a while to get working, and the battery life on your phone would plummet

You'd think they'd have thought of a simple way to interface two Android devices by now.

[QUOTE=reevezy67;38941111]Tried it, nothing but errors.[/QUOTE] As I said, works fine for me. [img]http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/12/35702013986-orig.png[/img]

first time i have used chrome on my tablet since the recent update, along with the tablet firmware update. Its so smooth now, finally i can browse the web properly on my tablet with chrome

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;38941932]As I said, works fine for me.[/QUOTE]Its not like I didn't believe you. It just doesn't work on my g nexus.

For me it just crashes if i try to log in.

On my phone it crashes on startup. Tried clearing data, same shit.

Looks like I must just be the lucky odd one out with the app working.

yeah it needs an update :v:

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;38924550]says it can't find duplicates[/QUOTE] I know this is a late reply, but for a stock GS3 with a stock 'Contacts' app, open up the contacts list, then press the menu softkey, scroll down to 'Settings' and check the 'Only contacts with phones' button. That's one way to solve it. You can also change which contacts get displayed. Open contacts list, press menu softkey, scroll down to 'Contacts to display' and you can choose between the accounts you want to see contacts from, or you can make your own custom list. No idea about the Blade S, but it could be similar

Geels app doesn't need load the home page for me and crashes half the time.

Is WiFi tethering working on Cyanogenmod 10.1 yet? I'm going to need it after Christmas.
