This game is similar to trackmania, but even more wacky

Anybody having issued with the new marketplace offering the same updates over and over again. Get offered an update, accept it, update app. Lo and behold a day or two later or sometimes longer the same update appears again, accept it, update app etc. etc.
Getting really annoying.

I was actually wondering whether someone would say they had the problem with Adfree. Are you sure it's not actual updates? Adfree has had a ****load recently, like one per day. The dude is adding translations and stuff nearly every day

SOmething I didn't realise you could do with my SG2 (i'm sure it will work for other phones too), you can download the offline iplayer files from the bbc website and watch them directly on the phone (it will get the licence for you)

Old news!

New news though is that Friendcaster has updated with new stuff and a new UI. Now has push notifications as well!

Been playing Shadowgun the last few days and today I've been playing it via PS3 pad via SixAxis application from the market.

Here's a guide in order to map the buttons to get everything working.

Great looks like my card company still charges me when I buy from the android market even if it's displayed in pounds. :mad:

Can anyone recommend a remote control app for use with windows, are they any good?

Looking for something to control Media Centre or similar just need a mouse and directional keys + enter.

Will save me having to buy a wireless keyboard if I can get one that works well.

Unified Remote is what you're after if you want a general remote that covers most functions and MCE built in etc.

vail3r · 30 Oct 2011 at 13:27

Cheers, I will try the free version now!

Google take a quid out before the purchase, it'll be refunded in a few days. So if it's only a quid extra that's gone missing it's probably that

Yup same here.

Anyone figured out how to fix this? I have a stock SGS2 phone, non-rooted. All I did was get the apk for the new market (3.1.5) and since then I get the same updates offered to me every day.

JIM_BOB7813 · 30 Oct 2011 at 15:16

I have the same problem, but mine tells me about updates that I've already applied (can't actually attempt to update a second time). Wait for google to fix it I guess?

Sinopa · 30 Oct 2011 at 16:02

I have the same problem with updates I've already applied being offered again. For me they only get offered again after a reboot.

The only way round it I've found is to uninstall then re-install the app.

Liking the Poweramp 2 RC

Much nicer interface compared to the original.
