Have you guys tried firefox since the v 17 update? Apparently is a big improvement and works great with flash.

Using Firefox on my s3 and trying to reply on this forum is a nightmare
Won't let me backspace just keeps trying to insert predictive suggestions

What launchers would you recommend for a Gingerbread user? I tried Go launcher Ex, felt smooth but too much bloatware that I don;t need suggestions?

I would have said ADW Ex but it's been updated recently for ICS. I'd go with Launcher Pro

Does anyone use their nexus 7 to make phone calls? Ive seen a few vid on how to do in in the US but nothing for the UK. Is it possible? Im guessing i need an app.

Am guessing that was with Google voice. You can use Skype or any other voip solution.

I used to use Launcher Pro... minimal and allows you to use your own icons if you want.

I use chrome mainly because of chrome on our other machines, the bookmarks/history syncs perfectly. Only thing i dont like about it is no history button.

I've started using Chrome and finding it not too bad. If you type chrome://history: this takes you to your history. Bookmark the page and you are good to go next time. Ignore if you were aware of this

This to be honest. Great launcher back then shame it hasn't been updated since!

 

[shaffaaf27]

anyoen else find chrome is slow and laggy. both when opening a new tab, or going through desktop websites, or would it just be me and my rom?

Provided you have a reasonable data connection, sure. You need to buy Skype credit to call physical phone though, it's free from Skype to Skype.

Can't help but think I missed some sarcasm though... :/

No, no sarcasm. I saw a youtube vid of some guy using google voice account linked to his gmail account. He was able to use his nexus 7 to make phone calls with no cost. I know a nexus 7 is far too big to use as a mobile phone, but it would be handy.

Anyone know if you can remove old devices from your play store yet?

Would also love to know if this is possible. Need to remove my Desire HD and One X....

+1 Need to remove my Galaxy Spica (need to remove all trace of that from my mind! lol)

 

[Montala]

You can hide them, but I don't think you can remove them completely unfortunately, which is what a lot of us would like to be able to do.
