Great. Let's all abuse the amazing service that is Pandora all because you can't work with the minor skip issue (which becomes a non-issue once you've used the same channel for more than a few days and actively vote up or down songs) and the far and few ads.
I implore you all to use it as is. I don't want to have to eventually pay for Pandora because you all can't live with these trivial things.
Also skip limit is per channel so if you hit six skips change channels for awhile. There is nothing to keep you from setting up two similar channels.
And I agree that Pandora is worth supporting. A huge amount of Pandora's revenue goes to paying royalties. The RIAA hates Pandora so if you hate the RIAA, and you should, supporting Pandora helps that cause.

Well, there is a glitch in regular Pandora. You can just turn it off and turn back on and skip.
Pandora rocks! literally.
don't know if they've raised their prices, but I cheerfully signed up for $36/year for commercial-free. I think there's still a skip limit, but I've only hit it a couple of times in the past six months or so...
So, do they need to pay a royalty for a skipped song I wonder?
I pay for ad free, but the skip limit is still annoying, which is why I use this hacked version.
I can't imagine what process of logic connects skipping crappy songs with piracy. After all, isn't that the primary motive of all things RIAA? Hell, I'd use this hacked version just because I hate the RIAA and want to spit on them, with no other benefit whatsoever.
I agree with previous posts, though, try to limit use of the hacked version to bypass skip limits, not bypass supporting Pandora.

They claim their motivation is fighting piracy, and in some instances they're correct.
Their primary motive, however, is complete and utter control over the user's experience.
They want you to listen to the music their way. Period.

What is the latest and greatest shareware for grabbing mp3's using my desktop? I used WinMX back in the day, LimeWire, I have FrostWire now but searching doesnt bring up much, besides LimeWire court settlement crap. Leads me to think not many ppl are using it anymore. I really dont want to go the torrent route, unless thats all there is (that works good) right now. Yes I know, not E3D related, but it can be, watch. Also is there a app for p2p that will run on my E3D? If so cool, if not my PC is good enough

I use Tunee to get mp3s on my phone. The downloadble .apk from the market is here.
torrents, sir, are the way of the future. Swarm is amazing. It's a paid app, but I feel like it will pay for itself...
I use mediafire. They have an android app now too

Just tried swarm in android market and it still works.A bit buggy.
For mp3 I get mine at mp3sale.ru. yeah its not torrent and you have to pay but at least all my songs are tagged correctly, decent download speed, only download what you want, great bitrate. Not sure what prices are now. I paid $50 for like 1500 downloads. Haven't logged in for a few years. Just did and my credits still there, account active. Plusu you can redownload anything you previosly downloaded for free.

ok our daughter is going to middle school and we got her an evo 3d (during the amazon .01 sale). I am looking for some app suggestions to lock the phone down to help with porn, etc. similar to norton family protect online.
I am also looking to track via GPS, and playing with Life 360's app which seems pretty cool, but the app tends to close (even though it's set to run in the background).
So as I start this stressful journey, I figured there were some parents out here already doing this (or trying) and could suggest.
Thanks.
invasion of privacy much.
**** if i had a gps tracker on me when i was a kid i woulda lived a very sheltered life. kids need to be able to lie about where there going occasionally don't take all the3 fun out of being a teenager

Lookout is similar to Norton, as far as blocking sites, I'm unsure whether it does that or not. Sprint offers family tracker for a monthly fee, I don't know of any other ones available.
Mobile Security offers parental controls for android. Check it out, free on the market.
twiztidninja - when its your kid, we can talk. If you have already and simply don't care of "never my kid" then that's another issue.
When I was a kid, well if we were lucky enough to get a playboy or something, it was the world. Now a simple mistype on a URL can bring hardcore porn as well as other sick things the internet has to offer and that's something I don't want to expose my 11 year old daughter (not a teenager as you assumed) to. The fact is it's a different and sick world now, and I don't have a problem with her going places, just want to know she is safe as best as I can. As for "kids need to lie", well maybe in your life that's acceptable, but were raising our kids differently. Then again, from your grammer and profanity on a public forum, I can see we already differ on other issues.
Twolazyg - thanks, http://www.mobiflock.com/ seems to be in beta and really looks like a great app and I will check the others as well.
Are there any traveleing GPS app's with voice directions out there that will work with the Note?
I believe waze has voice guidance, you might want to give it a try.
Check my thread over here. Free version of Telenav. Works great and its free.
I will try that when I get it. It is to be delivered tomorrow, but I will not be back home until Saturday. My wife will get ignored all weekend while I play with my new toy.
Try Waze. Social fed traffic and variable directions based on real time info and you driving habits. It tried for almost a week to route me around school zones!
+1 for Waze. If everyone were to use it live traffic might get better!

I have. It too has voice directions but there was something. I didn't like about it. Can't remember now. Maybe it had little voice direction. Ill try it again today on my way to work.

So here are my thoughts on Google Navigation beta. The voice is terrible and not changeable. No zoom by speed. Completely mute music while guiding by voice. No setting for direction up (well its there but does 3D). No speedometer. Initial map is zoomed way out.
It is accurate. Built in search. Its free.

I have it...bought it when they dropped the price down to $5 last year for a while. It's not a bad app, gives you directions plus a lot of little things others don't have. The maps are downloaded to your phone so it takes up quite a bit of space. Honestly though, unless you're doing a lot of traveling and need to know where gas stations and banks are, why not just use google maps/navigation? Save the money you'd spend to pay for gas.

Hello,
I am noob and I am thinking to publish a really cool app in android market and I am thinking, is it worth to install ads (like admob I guess) in your app to earn money? Let's say I have 10k users who approximately open my app 2 times a day (20k impressions daily), how much could I earn from admob? Is there something better than admob? Or it's just not worth it (plus you annoy people with having ads in your app)? Thank you.
What exactly your app about? After reading some articles about admob success stories (and counterparts) it seems to me that it worth using mostly in game applications.
If your app is accessed for periods of time significantly like games or social media, then yes, ads.
If it is usually something that people run once or twice like settings or themes types, then you are better off providing a pro paid version or just one paid version.
Oh and people hate air push. Don't ever do that

Air push means when an app causes ads in the notification bar/center

And maybe you could tell me how much (just approximately), you can earn from 20k impressions a day?
I think that also dividig application into lite and pro version can be more effective than annoying ads.
Any more comments maybe?
i just googled a little and it seems the money doesn't come from the number of ads that people look at, but from the number of ads that are clicked (CTR, click-through-rate). i for once am quite skeptical about making any decent amount of money from ads in android apps. why? i have never clicked on an ad. shame on me.
I use inner-active.com , I don't know which one is better, because I haven't use AdMob. We published our app before 2days and there's only 1 click
If anyone else has something to say, I would really appreciate that.
My opinion on the matter is that there is probably not a lot of revenue to be had from ads. As mentioned above, you only get paid when the add is clicked. I for one have clicked an ad once, and that was by accident because the screen on my phone is small. Most people I think will not click the ads in apps, making it just annoying for your users. Personally, I would rather pay £0.99 or whatever and get an app with no ads than get a free app with ads.
Contrary to that, my wifi hack has got a pretty good return from AdMob in month 1
My cost/install was way too high on a free game when I tried it out. I'd say ads is not the best way to go when promoting a new game as you also have to consider quality of user which you'll get more of through reviews or social media.
in light of this new information, if LG is doing this with their TV sets, I can only wonder how far they go with their phones ...making me rethink any LG mobile purchases.

Yeah, same here. I'm running an AOSP based ROM now, so it's not going to send anything to LG. But I don't want to support a company with ethics like that.
I don't doubt for a second that LG do this on their phones, but I also don't doubt for a second that everyone else do too. These days tracking and spying seems like the norm.
Its not that did it on purpose, its more of a bug. And just becuase its happening to their smart tvs doesnt mean its happing to their phones, 2 different divisions of a company. Its not like the tv and mobile divisions have the same software engineers.

Exactly. I really don't see what the huge problem is. They are basically putting cookies on your TV, but obviously, in this case, the information was being sent to LG's servers to be compiled. Everyone does it, hell XDA shows me ads for something on Amazon I just looked up minutes ago.
I understand, that snooping on your network is a bit much just to reccomend shows and choose advertisements, but it's not like you can't stop it. Simply put your TV on your guest network. Boom. Done. No more access to other devices on your network.
It's not like other manufacturers aren't doing similar. Samsung TVs mine a ton of data. In addition, the models with cameras, can actually watch you. In some instances, it will be used to make sure you don't have more than the allowed amount of people watching an on demand event or streaming rental, but it can also be used to count people in the room, whether they're male or female, and whether or not they are being engaged by what's on the screen be it ads or media. This hasn't stopped them from being the number 1 TV manufacturer.
As for phones, Apple and Samsung have both been caught logging locations and taking pictures of it's users and that hasn't stopped them from being the number 1 and 2 smartphone manufacturers. On top of that, they aren't the only one's digging through your phone for data.

Um, no. The ability has existed on the last 2 model runs, it just wasn't implemented, just tested. It was due to studios wanting to make sure that people weren't having a too many people watching at one time. It's a form of copyright protection. You can watch a movie at home with a bunch of friends no problem, but streaming a movie for say your church, is a big no-no. At that point they want you to pay them like a theater would. Using it for advertisements is fairly new and that didn't really ruffle too many feathers until Microsoft's kinect. The new kinect is making waves again because it can even measure your heartbeat. Businesses would love to find out what kind of ads get your heart racing.
It is not a bug. Have you guys read the article? LG even confirms that it did that intentionally to better viewing experiences and enhance advertisement viewing. The 2nd part about it trolling your network and pulling information from everything it finds, and sending it off to LG, was supposed to be from an unfinished feature that was never implemented. Funny how they made sure it grabbed your information and successfully transmitted it back to their servers.
They are going to get in a LOT of trouble for this. I can honestly see them getting heavily sued. Not only were they stealing personal information without consent but also using up your personal bandwidth and invading your private viewing habits.
My dad is one that I'm sure will be severely affected. He is getting older and growing intensely paranoid to do anything. He used to work for HP and now is petrified to go out doors half the time. He disables his WiFi just because he fears someone hacking his network. Unfortunately he just bought a new Smart LG TV like last year. Now he's going to be afraid to watch the damn TV.
Yea you can say, well just turn off the WiFi or unplug the Ethernet... but someone who is paranoid like him doesn't think like that. His response will be, well they'll just code it to automatically turn WiFi on in the middle of the night for 30 minutes or whatever, then turn it back off when its done scouring his files.
It seems trivial to most people but this seriously effects some. The fact that HP SPECIFICALLY coded these things to do these tasks is appalling. This is NOT a bug. When you enable the Privacy Settings, all it does it flag the information as "privacy enabled" yet still sends it.
Very scary stuff. LG stole your information and sold it to the highest bidder. This will and should be a lawsuit. Companies shouldn't be allowed to profit from unwilling customers, especially when they specifically opted out. The fact that it also scans your internal network is also a HUGE compromise, both security and privacy.
Horrible.
If you live in the states I do not understand why complain. Your government has been spying on you guys since day 1 you were born. There is no more privacy anywhere you go in the world now. Unless you live in one of those third world countries, but in that case you would not have smart tv because there would be no wifi and stuff.
The government has a track on everyone. The only way is to stop using phones, computers, tablets, anything that has access to location and internet. Anything that accesses an IP address...no way to hide from them. Like it or not, that's the world we live in.

It's a built in spy software!
Seriously though, it's a gesture feature that you selected in settings. It detects your eyes and prevents the screen from turning off just before your screen time out.
Yea that's what it is. On the Verizon model, we have the traditional vertical settings menu and it doesn't have pictures.
