Everyone, the game I have been looking forward to for the whole year, pocket planes, has been released on android! Played it on a friends phone for a bit before and must say its amazingly addictive. Its a bit buggy now, but its supposed to be considering its a new release and all.

I read a post (well, an argument) on xda about the difference between processors, it sounded quite interesting. I may read a bit about it in my onesie one day
Does anyone use Apex Launcher? New update constantly crashes.

Yes. I haven't got the latest beta (turned them off tbh, for that reason). Tried clearing app cache?

Look at reviews on the play store - everyone is complaining. I guess I'll be holding out on updating :tongue:

I prefer Apex, easier to add widgets/shortcuts to the home screen. Apex also has a section listing just downloaded apps. Though the home screen on Nova is kind of cool the way the widgets move as you're scrolling through the pages, it's like it's 3D...

EDIT: Apex is so much better, you could restore suggested videos on the YouTube widget you got rid of by swiping up, can't on Nova...

What's the best app to track call time usage (SG2)? I use 3G Watchdog for data, Droidstats (which I think did call time!) used to crash my old S1 but if its reccomended I'd be willing to try again.

Never had any use for monitoring call time, I'd only use around 5 minutes a month, but after a week at uni I'm nearly 100 minutes already...
Grabbed a Samsung S3 after selling my iPhone 4s... The phone is alright, the screen is amazing however the touch senstive buttons are too sensitive and it is uncomfortable holding the phone sometimes without interfering with that.

Also Android OS is ok.. but it just can't beat the slickness of a jailbroken iPhone.... And texting... TEXTING is my main issue, the auto correct is crap unlike the iPhone. WHen i make spelling mistakes it doesn't auto correct it properly and there does not seem to be an adaptive learning option? Like it doesnt learn words when typing it repeatedly.

Get swiftkey 3 from google play. Great keyboard app, I ended up buying the pro edition. Touch sensitive buttons are too sensitive? :lolwut:

Yes, because the screen makes the rim of the phone ultra thin its awkward to hold at times. My finger brushes the touch sensitive buttons sometimes.

Ok thanks ill try swiftkey
Samsung devices that will get jelly bean. Just thought I'd pass it on.

There's a pretty serious vulnerability that has possibly been discovered today in most Samsung phones (check @tomscott and @pof) that might allow an attacker to remotely wipe your phone if you visit a website, scan a QR/NFC tag or receive a WAP SMS message.

If proven, it's possible there will be a lot of attempts at exploiting this over the next few days/weeks - be careful!
