Essential Android Apps

Does anyone know why the Play Store "Installed" section on a tablet doesn't show you the change log for an update to an installed application? Seems very bizzare!

For example, in the below image there's an update to the "Movies by Flixster" app but I have no idea what they've changed!

Never did on the previous market either, annoying.

Click on the app/game in question in the large Window and it will take you to the app/game page within the market application. It seems to show there what has changed in the latest revision. I always do that before I bother to update.

Adfree isnt working at all, anything else put there I can use?

+1 - I wondered that at first about where it was.

Regular updates, almost flawless for me.

Hey all, what's the best way to accomplish screenshots on Android? I miss the easy iPhone method!

In Gingerbread hold down the Power & Home buttons.

For ICS hold the Power & Volume Down buttons.

Not sure if anyone is following Firefox progress on Android but the latest Nightly 14.0a1 has impressed me on the Transformer Prime. It's not perfect, can be a bit unresponsive when clicking on links on web pages but it's up there with Chrome which also isn't perfect. For example, sometimes in Chrome, web pages are greyed out when you switch tabs whilst the page is reloaded.

My ICS uses power & home (I'm using Apex Launcher)

just started using LogMeIn Ignition. i am absolutely amazed at how responsive and impressive this app is!

Launcher doesn't matter, in the newer Samsung ICS releases both home and volume down plus power take screenshots!

NZBAir working on ICS for anyone else? I get a Post Not Found error when browsing Nzbmatrix via it and nzbs fail to send to Sab.

Sab sheep has known ICS issues too else I'd be using that as the UI is nicer.

nzbmatrix api is down atm iirc. Had troubles before sending stuff from my browser to sab then noticed.

That explains a lot of the issues then lol!

Swiftkey 3, space bar? what space bar?

[KnightStalker]

That looks good and finally a slightly bigger spacebar, the only thing that gets on my nerves with the current one.

Swiftkey.net down? ¬_¬
