double tap to zoom and the text reflow works fine but once I double tap to zoom back out, the text stays in the same position/way i.e. all crunched up to the left side and then it doesn't work at all/resize when I pinch to zoom to different zoom levels :(

Noticed something like that as well, just after I posted. It seems to reflow Google search pages when not zoomed in...

Not too big of a deal to be honest, better than Chrome at least, and I haven't found a browser that integrates so well (simple extension but it works!).

All this talk of keyboards, been having issues with Swype (smiley pop-up closing, poor performance, and now the dictionary server appears to be down). Just moved back to stock, and it's so much better than it used to be! Prediction with normal typing seems to be far better (Swype was crap for me for some odd reason), and performance is simply excellent. Not even going to bother trying anything else!

Has anyone received an invite to play Google's augmented reality game 'Ingress'?

It's so intriguing but I just can't get access.

Yep I requested an invite and am in. Quite like the concept but not sure how well this walking to missions will be, probably a good thing if you are in the town with the wife and need to kill a couple of hours :-)
 
I've been in for a while, just checked and I have 5 invites so if anyone really wants in send me trust message with email address.

I don't really use it much tbh, living outside a city there are a few portals around but nowhere near enough to rank up to a decent level very quickly (you can only hack a portal once per 5 minutes, and there are 3 in close proximity to me), I got more 'AP' on a quick wander around the centre of Oxford a few months back than I have near my home. So it really works best if you live in a decent sized town/city.

Thanks for the invite, no idea what I am doing, I pressed back on the tutorial page as wanted to quit the app, now it seems I have skipped the tutorial.

Any ideas how I can get it back to the tutorial?

edit: no matter I chose a side and now it takes me back to the tutorials.

Sounds interesting mate, I'll drop you an e-mail. Got a 3G Nexus 7 so it'll hopefully work reasonably well..

Can I have an invite? Always wanted to try it, but lived in the countryside until recently! Just sent you a trust.

Any good Twitter apps? I just wasted £1.20 on Falcon Pro, it's a bit **** that they sell something you can not use thanks to the twitter 100k token limit (Found out about that after i bought it) :(

There is one called Falcon Widget. Think it's by the same bloke. It only has a widget but it's very good. I'm using it at the moment. I have Falcon Pro but the widget on it annoys me as it keeps scrolling to my last unread position :mad:
 
Guys,

Is there anyway of hiding certain certain pictures/movies appearing in the Gallery app?
I've tried a few apps which hide the images/clips but they hide them by copying them over to the sysem from the ex-sd card and i want them to stay on my sd card so they dont take up space on my phones memory....Galaxy S4
 
Put a .nomedia folder in the directory of your porn stash and it won't show up in the gallery app. You can then browse to it manually using a file manager (ES File Explorer is brilliant) when you need to....do stuff.

ASSUMING!

I'm going to re-post Clipper because it's so good, especially for people who post on sites/forums a lot and need to use special tags:
