It's possible, I found 1 called "Block it" seems to work, I did find that it was slowing down some of my apps though, the only noticeable 1 is Facebook

Block it available in the app store?

Bad reviews are from those who didn't realize they had to set it up and not just install it. It's NOT great but it works.. I notice today using Tunein Radio that it wouldn't start until I turned blockit off.
Frankly I'll be happier with root then I can go back to my better ad blockers.

You ever try adblock-plus? And what do you mean it's not that great, what's bad about it?

How do you set it up to get it working properly? I'm very used to AdAways simplicity lol.

Im using Firefox with adblock plus mod. Works great.

HTC Flashlight app in new Foyo w/Sense

does anyone know where i can score the apk for this bad boy? i played with it in the new froyo port (very nice job) and i want it now. thanks in advance.
I use a widget called "LED Light" from the markplace, has the same look and feel as the HTC 4G, Wifi, etc widgets.. not sure if that's what you meant or not.
if you downloaded Avas (or Heros i believe) sense 2.2 ROM, you can grab the apk out of the zip.

yeah, i have that one now too but once you try the HTC Flashlight app you will see why i want it so bad.
Thanks for the suggestions, that app works great!
If someone pulls the apk, would they mind linking it here? That would be particularly nice of them .

Thanks much! Dropped it into dropbox, now let's see how it works.
EDIT: Not bad, but I think that I still prefer beamwidgets.

oh, momma. i am excited.
My favorite is LED Desire Light. It has the brightest setting I've seen so far, and can even transmit messages via the flash light in morse code. In case.. you know... you are trapped somewhere and can't make calls.... and can...
Ahh forget it. Anyways, it comes with a widget. Tap for on, tap for off. I love it.

Touche good sir...
App works awesome, love the interface
I am getting an error on my EVO when I try to install the apk that this is not supported.
OK got it. Missed step to use Astro to install it. Great app!
just installed led desire light and the flashlight.apk
definitely cool to have multiple levels of brightness. And of course, you know that morse code ability will come in handy one of these days....

Texts showing up in wrong order?

Just flashed to Evozone-Riptide and its showing my texts in the wrong order. If the person im texting replys within 5 minutes or so, it shows the message I sent after the reply. Nothing major, but its inconvenient.
In your messagin app, are you set to recieve a copy of your sent message?

Happens to me as well. It's annoying
Just started having this happen after installing the inverted messaging apk. Matter of minutes not hours as well, just dealing with it as it isn't a huge deal.

Internet usage/traffic tracker

So my niece is using to much data data and although I can easily just shut it off I'd rather get to the root of the problem. Are there any apps that allow me to see what they download that take a running tally of what access data and also maybe how much ?
She says it's just doing reading homework for school and APUSH notes... that doesn't use 3 gig in 2 weeks.
Any idea of something anyone has heard of or tried ? It's an Atrix HD and not rooted and I'd rather not root since I have no desire to mess with Motorola stuff . I know I'm in the GS3 area but this is where I hang out haha.
Thank you !

No idea about the Atrix HD but under settings on the S3, there's Data Usage.
what are your thoughts on this, buddy?

Ended up being stupid Facebook... 2 GB in 7 days of background activity. Used the app and set it up easy to let her known and restrict background data.

Resolution To High For GPU

I've just purchased this phone and overall I like it. One thing I think is holding this beast back is the resolution. The GPU seems to seriously struggle - it's even noticeable when switching apps, navigating the settings, etc. It just seems like it doesn't have quite enough grunt.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar thing?
I was using an Xperia Z2 earlier today and everything seemed far more fluid and smooth. I'm honestly considering selling my 2 day old G3 and switching to a Z2.

Mine is very fluid with zero lag. Then again I'm rooted, and I debloated the phone. It's very fast, If you know a away to record your screen I'll upload a video.

What did you do to debloat - which apps etc removed?
I'm rooted, but no idea which apps are safe to remove.

Well I froze all of them via titanium, some apps in there are just ones I'm not using currently. I would freeze then instead if uninstalling them personally. See screenshots below.

I recorded a video of my screen via some app. In running nova with animations at the fastest for the launcher because I don't care about transitions. Is still very fast to open spots as you can see below. I'm sure you can see that it's fluid for the most part besides my jerk's between menus scrolling like I have ADHD

Every app on that list is frozen so yes.
Edit
Also don't freeze anything you're using because I've accidentally don't that before and I had to figure put what I did.

I agree, and never freeze anything that you don't know the function of. It can happen accidentally, but I've learned from my mistakes.

Got this too on my AL00. Was interested in the 'Instant Projection' feature but can't see any settings or other options regarding this. Phone still has 'Easy Projection' but I was expecting to see something new.
Does your phone show anything new on this? Have you used this feature yourself?

Not really used it but if you go setting and start typing easy projection you can set it to wireless
Thanks for quick reply. Yes always had that 'easy projection' option but was expecting to see something new. Obviously not going to happen
