I keep hearing bitching about images not loading, but I've never had any problems.[/QUOTE]
On the tablet version it's a overstretched version, for me, so whenever I scroll past a picture it may look like its zoomed in on some girl's boobs.
Newest Facebook app works fine for me.
EDIT: on a phone
Facebook works for me, it likes to stall sometimes on my Nexus 7 though
I heard that the devs at Facebook developing the android app were geniuses because they made something work that no app could access or something like that.
my sister is a wizard
she can put her screen protector on her iphone in the middle of a sandstorm and have it come out perfectly
i did it in the middle of a sauna and a piece of paint chipped off the wall and landed on the sticky side, making me ruin it
then the second one just gets dust anyway even though that's physically impossible

screen protectors are an exercise in patience
you will waste hours of your life dealing with applying screen protectors, that's why you find someone to do it for you like a friend who will do it in seconds.
life would be easier if manufacturers did like Sony and had screen protectors on the device out of the box

Well mine had a red flap at the corner (that was very easy to cut off and keep on).

Hell, it even comes with a fucking screen protector in the box. I was surprised that Samsung and other phone makers didn't do this.
The Xperia Z has one like on the device out of the box. No hassle, no bubbles and probably costs pennies on the dollar for the manufacturer and hell I'd shell out $20 extra for a good oleophobic coating out of the box
I don't use a screen protector #firstworldanarchists

it's really annoying too
touchwiz on the gs4 has a really cool thing where the status bar on the default launcher is invisible on the homescreen, but only when you use their built in wallpapers; if you change the wallpaper the status bar goes back to being a grey bar. i have no idea why they thought that was a good idea
Is the statusbar changeable at all without installing a custom ROM or rooting? I do wish I could change it to match my stuff more.

Did you order it off Amazon.es?
The phone looks great, but it's not available in my network in Portugal. Only the G300.
What was the name of that android emulator arcade closet app made by the FPer?

Yup, amazon.es.

It's because some wallpapers are extremely busy and can obfuscate the date/time/notification/whatever. Sense still keeps it transparent because there's a slightly translucent glass-like window for the notification bar, instead of a completely transparent bar.

It's actually meant to be a shatterproof sheet. It's much more adhesive to the screen than a normal screen protector.

OK, when it arrives can you tell me how the default ROM is, if there is a lot of bloat etc. ?
i think a recent update of a few google apps is making my galaxy note 1 run like shit.
its so laggy and unresponsive, it wasn't always like this.
my AOKP 4.1.2 rom and my stock touchwiz 4.1.2 rom run like ASS
(i wiped everything when i moved over from AOKP to touchwiz today, didn't fix it)

this is a PSA by cryptoPSAs: "breaking things so u dont have to"
whatever you do, after installing skype on your android device (esp if not rooted), uninstall skype
you can't reinstall skype without deleting data/data/com.skype.raider, and if you aren't rooted, the only way to get at it is factory reset
I'd like to set Tasker to reboot my phone at midnight every day — any way to do this? Tried to make it execute "su reboot" but it doesn't work

Use [URL="http://elmicha.de/app/LocaleExecute/plugin-help.html"]Local Execute[/URL]
[code]!reboot[/code]
Actually, as a sort of alternative, I wonder if there would be an option to only restart certain processes? I wanna do that to prevent the occasional battery draining bug to drain all the battery, basically

Maybe I could set my phone to the lowest CPU frequency whenever the screen is off. But it probably does that already?
I snagged a super cheap HTC Evo 3D off eBay because the dingus thought a slightly wonky touchscreen meant dead. It arrived today working 90% well with only a little bit of the touchscreen not working, in otherwise mint condition.
The 3D is crazy. Like, once you figure it out, it's just freaky. Is there any way I can show you guys a 3D photo I took? Like an applet of some sort?
And no, I'm not replacing my Note with it, I'm gonna sell the Evo after I fix it. But I get to play with 3D in the meantime :3
