For those who use Skype, they have updated their application to support tablets. Oh and Microsoft ID. iPad mini has nothing on the Nexus 7 now! Mwahaha
In all seriousness, this is pretty big. With the adoption of tablet optimised apps from companies like Skype and Tapatalk things are going to change. We're still waiting for Twitter and Facebook to get their arse in gear but Apples claim to fame will soon be invalid. I honestly thought Microsoft was going to ignore the Android tablet market in hope to push their Surface. Obviously not.

I do like the update but landscape only annoys me. The camera isn't in an ideal spot for landscape any its awkward to hold for a call in landscape. It needs to function in both views.

Though the point the OP makes is valid, our tablets have a camera mounted for portrait mode video chat. The update to Skype locks the app to landscape. Not cool..

I did find this to be an issue, so I downloaded the ultimate rotation app and what do'ya'know;
It's not ideal, an I'm sure they'll fix it soon considering the bad reception landscape only has got, but this is a good temporary solution.
My main point is people are finally adopting the android tablet and I'm certain there will be more to follow.

Anyone having issues with slow sign on? Mine takes over a minute to sign on?
Can't sing in at all. Noticed it few hours ago..
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Sign in works fine for me, as does everything else. Hate the only landscape mode, though. Leaves the camera in an awkward position.
I use the modded skype.apk by theo0s*
Using the ultimate rotation app is also a smart way to rotate it, I would love this to be included at paranoid android

OK guys so my Galaxy Nexus runs fine for the most part but the browsing is horrendous at times.
I go to nytimes.com and I pinch to zoom and there's a few seconds before it does anything. The same thing happened when I tried to scroll down. This happens on multiple sites.
I used both the stock browser and Chrome with similar results. The rom and kernel I'm using are shown in the picture I attached.
Is there any fix for this? So far the GSII browser kills both the GN browser and Chrome browser, it's not even close.

Which sites specifically? My browser is very smooth on %95 of sites, but certain ones give these problems. Its somewhat rare.
nytimes.com defaults to a mobile site. So I requested the desktop site, and its buttery smooth on zooming in and out with pinch.
Go go this site and zoom in and out a few times. Wait for the site to fully load then try it again but have one finger one the picture. That site and others give me problems sometimes.

That site scrolls very smooth for me. The pinch zoom did give a hiccup stutter though, but not too bad. I can see something is not right though, a chunk of text kept jumping around. Rendering problem maybe. But its definitely acceptable to me in terms of scrolling the page for reading, very smooth. I rarely use pinch zoom though. I always double tap instead.
OK thanks guys. Maybe some sites aren't coded well or something
Now if Google could only fix the Gallery problem lol. When you transfer your pictures over they get organized in a weird way instead of in alphabetical order and then the images within the folders are out of order.
I know I can download an app but I like the stock gallery browser.

I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S3. I loaded on my favorite keyboard, Shapewriter, and was disappointed to see that it didn't fill the screen like it did on my other phones. Is there anyway to make it take up the whole bottom of the screen like all the other keyboards? Thanks for any help.

send a note to the developer... they might not be aware and just need to edit it for the larger screen...

It's no longer supported. I have a backup of the APK that I use to install it with. It's not even on the Play anymore as far as I know.

That's clearly not supported on 720p screen, never heard of the keyboard but if you find people that likes it a developer might be able to help

If I recall, Shapewriter was bought by Nuance and incorporated into the FlexT9 keyboard and now those features are incorporated into the latest Swype beta...
So maybe try that?

I downloaded the Swype Beta. It's going to take some getting used to, but overall I think it's better than the default Samsung keyboard.
I prefer shape writer over all the rest I've tested. The automatic addition of a space after a period (.),saves hitting the space bar more often than deleting the space. The ability to retroactively capitalizewith one key does not require retype. The selection of typed words with one touch,allows the original selection list to be recalled.
I can't believe they did this all two years ago. Nuance now owns shapewriter.
I've had my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 for 2 weeks now. It's stock NOT rooted. I was just looking through the /system/apps and couldn't find a Car Home application or something similar. Is this something that they left out with JB all together? Or is this just a Samsung or T-Mobile bright idea?
I also thought Samsung had Drive Link but the Note 2 doesn't have it.
Any info would be great...
In the mean time I installed Drive Link that I used on my previous device. If anyone is interested in it then I'll post a link.
So i wanted a proper driving app myself, didnt like what the samsung app store had to offer nir did i like what the playstore had, so i used ti separate launchers to get what i needed.
My main, daily phone launcher is nova prime. Set it up as a 7*5 grid and set it up for daily usage.
Used a Samsung tectile in my car mount to launch adw in landscape mode. One window has the weather, calendar and easy access to the phone boom, txts or whatever i needed. The next window is for Google maps, some set locations, or something i made the night before that i can just click and go. The other is the shorcut for the google places icon, which lets me search a coffee shop, or 'pizza' when i click it.
Ill take pics and show u, its the best way to have a proper car "dock" in my opinion

Hello,
Has anyone tried the Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher released for Nexus 5 on their Note 8.0?
"To install the new launcher (Google Home), you’ll have to install 3 different apps – Google Play Services 4.0, Google Search, and the Google Home .apk. "
If so, is it working ok? how's the performance with the new launcher?
Thanks for your help :good:
I'm currently using the launcher as my daily driver, and aside from a couple bugs (app drawer seems crowded, and the keyboard pops up randomly upon returning to home), it runs rather well. I'm enjoying this psuedo-Kitkat UI!

Sorry, I cant. When I try to upload screenshots, it says it has the incorrect JPEG file extension. Can you download the launcher?

Wrong section..sorry..
The launcher runs fine. and looks ok,
I have gotten too used to touchwiz to like anything else,
however, this can also be used as an app i.e hitting back button does not close it.In that way it provides most of its functionality on demand and serves good for hands-free operation when needed, though s-voice did that kinda similar too.
App Drawer does not have any menus or settings so nothing much to write home about there, other than it's obviously different.
I have it set up minimally for reading stuff only (news and books) and here are screen shots.

Hello guys,
The NokiaZLauncher seems to be released some hours ago
Its still an pre-beta app but the launcher still doesnt allow widgets but maybe in the future.
The launcher also works with gestures and learns a bit from your actions and predict it in the future to get it easier for you,
By simply drawing a Letter like T will preview a list with apps,names with the T after 4 gesture letters it is also going through google so its pretty advanced if you ask me. Its really a troll action from Nokia to microsoft lol. Have fun with the launcher since maybe not everyone know it yet because there is also nothing in the apps forum here.:laugh:
It works properly on the Nexus4 btw, non rooted and stock for the guys who really want to know.
Video preview which i just found:

It's telling me that it doesn't support rooted devices.
