Does anyone use Simple Calendar Widget? Seems to be crashing an awful lot for me recently... :confused:

Are there any decent apps that will unlock my sim, so that I can use a different network?

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy s i9000

Psypher5 · 8 Feb 2013 at 16:45

youd need a NUC code. to unlock the device not the sim

Wizzfizz · 8 Feb 2013 at 16:56

Is there a way I can retrieve this without having to pay my network provider?

Are you rooted? Galaxy S Unlock will do it if it is

.

Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool might work if you're not rooted.

Done. Cheers

Didn't for me! I bought the Notifications extra for TVShowfavs. Later I flashed a new rom and restored my apps, but it didn't restore the Notification extra. Whenever I go back into TVShowfavs and click on it again to install, it says 'You already own this item' and won't let me install it :/

Is there a way to view vertical YouTube videos... well vertically, on a phone or tablet? Full screening automatically switches to landscape mode which is a bit rubbish.

I don't have the extra for tvshowfavs but that's a bummer :/

Does anyone have any reccomendations for an app that will sync iphoto over to my android tab?

Ive got doubletwist which works for music but its also picking up the thumbnails in my iphoto library meaning theres duplicates. Or am i doing something wrong?

Google Play Music+ v1.0 | We Can Rebuild It. (White Theme. More Consistent. Better.)

Root only

Er, what's the point? He's just made a white theme (crap for battery life) and made the horizontal view look the same as vertical? What a fuss about nothing..

Skillmister · 9 Feb 2013 at 23:27

Like countless other apps then?

It looks far better and it's hardly any effort to go to.

AndyCr15 · 10 Feb 2013 at 10:17

I think it looks MUCH nicer. Installing.

The whole 'white uses more battery' is overplayed in my opinion.

Nexus18 · 10 Feb 2013 at 11:15

For samoled screens, it isn't over played at all. White uses considerably more power on samoled than LCD screens. Loads of articles out there showing that:

And that is why samoled phones always do poor in the browsing test for gsmarena's battery test against LCD based phones.

Okay, so... if I use my phone for 20 hours. My screen on time is 3 hours. My time looking at Google Music on screen is 3 minutes. Honestly... how big of a difference is it being white compared to blue really, and why do I think it was a silly comment to say it would affect my battery life?
