Starts today. The newest update brought a tab to the "My Apps" section of the Play Store labeled "All", which is a ridiculous list of every app you have ever even looked at funny, never mind downloaded (free or not), with no way to filter so you can easily and conveniently browse your purchased but uninstalled apps. This is, IMHO, stupid and I've contacted Google about it, but it takes more than one squeaky wheel to get action so I am asking, nay pleading with you to contact Google through the "Help" option in the Play Store and demand for them to make this necessary change to the Play Store, and fire the moron who thought this latest edition was a good idea. The more I go through my list, and realize it's ridiculously poor implementation, the more heated I get. Join me, would you?
Thanks.

Really? This "movement" is entirely unnecessary.
You don't like the feature? DON'T SWIPE LEFT TO GET TO THE TAB.
For gods sake its a small UI change, its not a big deal. Get over it.
If you're REALLY that big ignorant and want to get rid of it, ask a dev, or do it yourself, go into the apk and change the framework of it so its not in there.
I don't give a damn about the all tab. It's useless to me, but others I know DO find it useful.
I completely agree with Droidificator! I have to search through clutter to find my setcpu or voodoo plus.It shows your recently installed/uninstalled first,like I said before,I purchased lots of apps in the past so gotta go through a mission without getting pissed

I don't wanna sound like a douche from the last post, but are you guys not talking about the "all" tab in MY APPS in the new market?
Why don't you just either SEARCH for setcpu/voodoo or go into your installed to look for the app?
I dont really care about Play store..., but... Tie dye, beer, tent, chronic, hell yes!!

i never even knew that screen existed until i saw this thread...and thats the truth. even though xrider is being a bit of a prick about it, im going to have to side with him >> just dont swipe to that screen?
im just trying to figure out how that screen prevents you from doing something, or hinders your play store experience in any way?? unless you have parkinsons and your thumb uncontrollably swipes to the left constantly - in which case you probably shouldnt have a touch screen phone period.
wait....is xrider the prick, or am i the prick?? ahhhhh hell with it, lets just all be pricks together

Point is that before all if your purchased apps were at the bottom of your list if they weren't installed, easy to look through and decide if you wanted to reinstall them, or not. Now, you have to search through the entire list off every app you've ever tried, had a friend download, new ROM install etc. to see if there's an "old" paid app you might like to revisit, OR restore after a new ROM flash. And xrider, I'd think you'd like to be able to erase the pron apps you've downloaded in case you're mom gets ahold of your phone and pokes around.
And if you don't like the idea this post poses, you could take your own advice and not click on this topic.

firstly, if you didn't want opposition to your thread, you might as well have stated it in the OP. You're making a entire thread on this subject and you expect people who disagree with your opinion to just stay quiet? I don't know who, how old you are or anything and it doesn't matter but you need a reality check and know that people out there WILL disagree with your public opinion. As for my mom finding out about the porn apps, I could care less there's much bigger things in my life than me watching an Asian naked, alright?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
I don't mind opposing points of view, you just seemed to be getting worked up about my point of view so I suggested you exercise the option of using a little of your own advice. As for the porn comment, it was just a joke made because you've made statements more than once on these forums about liking porn (and no, there's nothing wrong with naked Asians, as long as they're female and have ALWAYS been female). Sorry if my post offended, I wasn't trying to be a prick.
Seriously though, you don't find the poor implementation of the "All" tab annoying? Especially since it isn't just a new feature, but has replaced a feature that used to be much more user friendly? One that I used a lot, and now is not only gone, but replaced by this idiodic list 500+ apps long, most of which I either don't remember ever using, or just downloaded to see and decided I didn't want or like them so they were deleted. Now I have to wade through them to find apps I paid for. Its crap.
I have no idea what the heck you are talking about. I have tried on my phone and tablet. I have swiped left, right, up and down (yes I am still talking about the market). I have seen the "All" on my PC but nary on my phone/tablet. Ya I said nary, so.
I guess in my case since I can't get into the "All" section, ignorance is bliss. Especially if it is pitting Xrider and Droidificator against one another. Darn you market and your evil plan to create anarchy amongst the users.

What happened to Nonsensikal??????
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745603
??!?!??!?!?!
Not sure.. he relased 10.1 then the next day the forum stated removed. Some info would be nice, but i haven't seen anything all week till you posted this.
Weird, he has had by far, IMO, the best ROM I have used.
He pull the rom off of XDA for "personal reasons". No idea what that exactly entails.
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...ensikal-blue-vanilla-black-3.html#post1763864
It's a mystery ... Google Nonsensikal and you can still find his rom.
Listy said he's moved on. No more rom making. 10.1 was his last, he's now doing apps and other things and I believe he is getting a new device. It's a shame but eventually all our devs and porters will go.

come on man , lighten up ,, people cuzing issues around here is one of the reasons devs leaves ,,TRUST Me!!! when i first started this there were a few people who gave me **** for doing nuthing but makin a rom WHICH i dont even use cuz i dont use the phone for personal use , i have my droid x for that
bottom line we cant make eveyone happy and sometimes its just best to move on as he did ,, not sayin thats y he left but people have pushed me towards the door
....hope we don't lose any more developers. Our phone is discontinued and I've got another year left on my contract. I just read a forum that we're no longer get ANY OTA's. If you downgrade, you must flash back up.
Just curious, why'd the ShadowRom guys leave? I know there was some disagreement about linking to their site, but hell I'll download their rom, sign it (for amon ra people) and post to XDA if that's the only issue. I like to flash and experiment. I want as many options as possible for our EOL devices.

It is the nature of the beast. These fancy pocket computers we have now just don't seem to last long before there's something that is so much more capable out there. And when you sell your current phone and add the 1 or 2 year discounts up, it's hard not to move on.
Besides... There are more up and coming devs than you probably realize. It takes time to learn this stuff.
Oh here we go again. Internet argument. Grabs popcorn

Y'all talk about this like it's the end of the world. Look at all the old WinMo phones that still have active development here! What about the G1? That was the first Android phone ever sold commercially. And it's running CM6!
They've even ported over the Hero rom to it with HTC Sense.
Now the down side is our phone is CDMA which means we have several continents of potential developers who don't have our device, but we do have our non-identical twin brother the Sprint Hero which shares 90% of its hardware with the Eris. And the Hero has a pretty active development community. (One reason may be is that Sprint traditionally has lower credit requirements than Verizon and it is easier for people to get phones through them)
Anyway, we have Kaos,Tazz, Conap and a few others others who are churning out stuff left and right for our phones still. Nothing to worry about IMO.
We got Froyo which arrived despite Verizon and HTC saying it just wouldn't work. They also said Android 2 would never fit on a G1 and now they've got Froyo. Apps2SD, Cache2Cache and other great ideas will keep our main memory clear for more stuff. If Kaos continues development on his tool to boot roms from SD cards, we have virtually unlimited storage capacity for bigger and better things.
I am not mad at him leaving and I know i can try another rom, just seemed like his has been by far the fastest and most stable.
Not sure what happened behind the scenes, but maybe he will come back.
His v10.1 was top knotch and super fast.
Hey all,
I heard there is an app that you can select contacts that you do not want to text when your'e drunk. Then when you try to text them you have to solve a mathematical question or some kind of question...
I found the title for it for iphone a while ago (forgot now), but I want the android version for it.
Anybody knows the title for it?
Cheers
Dude, seriously, who the **** uses their phone when they're drunk? I love when people say "I got drunk and wiped my phone" or stuff like that. Ridiculous. Just put a complicated ****ing password on your phone before you go out drinking. Done.

If you're rooted, use CyanogenMod 7...it has "Phone Goggles" which restricts outgoing text messages and calls after a certain time and yeah you need some complicated stuff to prove you're sober before you can call and stuff.

Then you clearly did not go out when you were in college in a city with 40000 students going out. (And even outside that, how hard is it to imagine texting people in what bar they are, or to imagine texting a person you like/hate faster when you drank a couple?)
But this discussion is beyond the scope of this thread, each entitled to their own opinion and habits.

OK guys listen well...
Remember this post?
Apparently not... as you all seem to keep acting like little kids.
I saw yet another locked thread when I logged on today.
As it stands I don't care who is or is not lying, who is or is not a troll, and or who is or is not right. I don't, I simply don't...
If you have issues with someone, just ignore them or stay away from their posts, twitter feeds or websites as the case may be. It would be so much better for us all that way.
Now I don't mind a bit of off topic discussion and threads, but all I am seeing lately is bashing, arguing and trolling.
Let me lay a little something on you... Nobody is owed anything. No Dev owes you ROMs, root, or anything else. Vice versa, no user owes a Dev anything for their work. (paid market apps excluded) The rooting community is a hobby based entity. We work on respect and a mutual love of the platform. Donations are voluntary but a good idea. (It makes Devs feel appreciated)
Another thing... Drama... It kills the community. It runs off users and Devs alike. It creates a hostile environment that no one wants to deal with. When a device looses Devs it can be a death nail to the further development for that device, and when we don't even have a perm root exploit, loosing top Devs is the worst scenario imaginable.
It is getting so bad that even I am getting aggravated, and I could stay calm even with someone punching me in the face...
It is so bad I am giving serious consideration to jumping ship to the Nexus... An (in my opinion) inferior device to the Rezound, just to get away from most of the drama.
Come on people, get your f***ing acts together, and your heads out of your a**es.
Sorry if I come off as a jerk, but something needs to be said/done about all this.

But there is no sense in blowing up and attacking those who cause the trouble because it does absolutely no goid at all. I know... I've done this myself and it gets me nowhere. The best thing you can do is to always try and encourage positive feedback. Not everyone will like every commend, post or idea... Not everyone will agree on one thing. Best things to not be doing is bragging too much about something or attacking and/or making fun of something someonevow.s...eg.. like their phone.. or hating on something they said.

Pro-tip: You don't need to read drama filled threads. You don't need to read any thread actually. You have the choice to come to the forum, check for any thread titles indicating root has been achieved, and if you don't see them then either go away, or read only threads that have titles which interest you. Plain and simple.
I don't know why everyone on the internet feels that every single god damn thread in every forum MUST adhere to their own views of how threads should progress. If people want to *****/troll/libel/lie/cry/etc., then who are you to tell them not to? If you don't like it, DON'T READ IT!!! Plus, it's a PHONE. How do you not have anything else in your life going on that makes forums on phones completely irritate you to the point where you feel the need to tell people to not express their opinion? I'm assuming you're a Marine, which means you have probably sacrificed your life at some point to give US citizens the right to ***** and moan to their hearts desire. But that doesn't give you the right to tell people how to act.

Almost every instance on using this phone in public, people either stop and stare or they ask questions. It isn't like I'm trying to bring attention to myself but everyone is always asking if that is the new note. I leave it on my desk at work and whenever people come into my office, I'm asked about it and they want to doodle with the stylus. I hope this interest turns into more sales so that Samsung is prompted to come out with more phones in this line in the future. I simply refuse to go to any other phone now.
If you watched any basketball this weekend, the commercials were constant. They certainly seem to expect good sales:

Seems as if you either walk around waving this phone in the air or you are doing something to draw attention to yourself.
Its only a phone dude!
I get a kick out of these type of threads. I used to read them on the iPhone forums and laugh, but it seems the same type of people are here as well.
Probably a bit of an underage issue a well.
I've been using the latest phones and tablets for awhile now and have never had anyone come up to me and ask me about any of them . Those that say they constantly have people coming up to them at obviously seeking attention.
Remember...a phone does not make you cool

I have both asked and been asked by strangers about phones I've owned. Perhaps people don't ask you because you give off a bad vibe, or smell bad, or something.

I smell bad but still get asked about my Note.
I got the note cause I'm fat and needed a big keyboard. So far the only ones to ask me about it are my close friends. Never have I had someone cone up to me or stare at me because of this phone.

Lol i got approached by a stranger the first day i got it at in & out burger. Whenever i play draw something with the s-pen, thats when people start to stare and i could hear em saying wow and omg thats a huge...(insert joke here). But put this phone next to your ear and you get strange looks.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I had my phone out at Nordstroms looking at Google shopper for shoes I wanted. The salesman there asked if it was and I've probably been asked over a dozen times if its the note or wow that's huge what is it.

Your comment seems quite underage. Just because some people have strangers asking them about devices and you don't doesn't mean they are lying or looking for attention.
Really only a few devices in the recent past, such as the Droid RAZR, have received as much media attention and advertising as the Note, so all of your latest tablets and phones have likely not drawn the same attention from the general public. Therefore you cannot compare them to the Note.
I do not show off my phones, I use them. With my Captivate, I received no comments from strangers. With my Infuse, I had a couple, but only from people familiar with Android that were curious what brand and model it was. With the Note, same use and everything, I have received more comments and attention than the whole time I had both of my previous phone, in just two weeks. Dude in line at Chipotle, girl employee at Home Depot, several people I have never talked to in my classes here at college. This phone is turning heads whether you are looking for attention or not, so don't be a downer because nobody finds you approachable.

You guys are so funny, thought this would never happen to me.
Went to get my drugs at the pharmacy, and the 3 people behind the counter all came over to look at it and touch it, they asked the same questions. Yes it fits in my shirt pocket, and I let them try it.

Almost every instance on using this phone in public, people either stop and stare or they ask questions. It isn't like I'm trying to bring attention to myself but everyone is always asking if that is the new note. I leave it on my desk at work and whenever people come into my office, I'm asked about it and they want to doodle with the stylus. I hope this interest turns into more sales so that Samsung is prompted to come out with more phones in this line in the future. I simply refuse to go to any other phone now.

i don't know about the Advertising
but after using it hands on for a few days I'm addicted, it's so hard to get back to my T989
I get a lot of looks, and some comments. mostly "is that a phone???", "is that the one with a pen?", or "Is that the Super Bowl phone?" (referring the commercials played at the Super Bowl).
I have a gold metallic case on it so most of the time it looks like I am carrying a huge gold bar. Funny the looks I get.
I get asked about it all the time. I'll just be sitting on the train or at the bar or something and I guarantee someone will ask about it.

It's definitely not the advertising. It's the fact that it's a larger phone. I used a Dell Streak for 1.5 years and got the same type of comments about it.

Not worth the time to comment but I will anyway. I use my phone for business, not playing games. I don't "play" with it while waiting in a food line, nor do I walk around with it like it is a trophy. Many here do. That is obvious. As far as being "approachable", I am not looking for strangers to come up to me and ask about my phone, and I certainly don't want them "touching" it. The reason I even responded to this post was because the OP stated that the Note exuded a "coolness' factor. That certainly tells me how old he or she is.
We all grow up someday. Some of us a bit later I guess.
Give it time.

I also use my phone for business, not playing games. The only time games get played on my Note is when I let one of my grandchildren use it to keep them occupied. Nor do I walk around with it like it is a trophy as you put it. That being said, I still think it has a 'coolness' factor and yes, I have been asked about it in public. I spend a great deal of time on the phone when out - isn't that kind of the point to have a cell? If I didn't want to talk on the phone outside the office, I wouldn't carry it. I really do not mind people asking about it.
phone is awesome and everyone knows it.

You sure know how to wash down a party. I am a network admin for a defense contractor, so it is needed for work, and I do not just go waving it around looking for attention. If I want attention, I talk to my wife.
Glad your so boring.

The lame response by lindenhurst has inspired me to share.
Story#1 (2 weeks ago)
I attended my wife's induction into the honor society for her university yesterday afternoon. There were 16 inductees and we all socialized a bit before the ceremony began. I was to pin my wife so I quickly made nice with the couple that sat next to us and asked if they would mind tag teaming on getting pics of the pinning action. All was set. If you could have seen the look on the face of the guy (and others around us). When I pulled out my Note... He said "what is that!?!? ". Of course, I took the opportunity to demonstrate the wonders of the Note to him as his amazement grew. After he got a chance to handle it and snap a few pics of us during our part of the ceremony he was hooked. His wife looked at me and said "I guess he's found a new toy now.. I can see it in his eyes".. I just laughed and went about my business. He had an iPhone.
Story#2 (last week)
So I venture into my local Best Buy to return an item. As I am standing at the return counter waiting for the guy to process my return, I am typing away in facebook and fully engaged on my Note. The young girl behind the counter next to him said "Wow. Is that the Note? I want to get one so badly. My mom won't let me but I am going to figure out a way to get one. I love that phone." I then let her hold it because she was so starstruck with it.. Really... I laughed inside.

This.
Just ran across this, looks promising. We'll see what happens.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cogcode/silvia-for-android?ref=category
I like this so much I put $20 into it. Deal is if it doesn't fund you get your money back, so it's not much of a gamble. I'm not suggesting you do, that's your decision.
Update # 3 http://www.kickstarter.com/activity?ref=menu
Hope the final release does not ramble on as much! Last thing I need is another woman rambling on in my life.

Long way to go to get to $150k.
Hate to slam this, but there are like 100 Siri clones in the market.
Some are pretty good.
And didn't google hire the Siri developer from Apple last year?
Moving this to the right section......themes and APPS....
On another note what's so different about this from the countless others in the android market already?.....like iris, jeannie,...?

Sorry about that Slaughter, it was late. Check it out . We currently have nothing even close. This guy seem to be on the right track for sure. Did you take the time to fully read the guys credentials & watch the demo. Seem like this thing is a lot more sophisticated than anything out there now, i like it. Maybe Google will buy him out. One can only hope. Would love to see Apple get blown out of the water. This post wont get any coverage back here any chance of moving it back ?

i skimmed it...still there are a few apps in the market that do a ton if not all of what siri can do right now...
as for moving it back, im going to have to deny that as it doesn't make sense to put it up in general when its app related and doesn't really warrant the need to get huge coverage at this point anyway...If this thing starts to gain traction or become some kind of big huge event then maybe...
but for now app/theme talk is what belongs in this forum, so itll stay here in the mean time...

Judging from the video, this software is way more intuitive than any of the current voice apps. I'm using Speaktoit Assistant and Vlingo right now and they work pretty good, but you have to learn what to say to get it to do what you want.
In this video, the software seems to actually "know" what you mean and what you might mean and convey it back to you in a true conversational tone. In addition, it can differentiate between your "message" and "command" words intutitively.
Looks pretty impressive to me compared to what's currently out there. This seems to be actual AI instead of pattern or keyword recognition used in Vlingo or Speaktoit.
I'm in.

Yeah, I prefer Assistant by speaktoit for Jeanine type functionality. It works pretty well conversationally.
I can't remember why Jeanine didn't work that well for me. Not sure if you watched the SILVIA video or not but it appears to be much more intelligent with seemingly highly advanced memory and cognition.

Utter! is the only voice assistant I'm interested in.

I donated $20. Figured why not, I like the fact that it let him build on the outgoing SMS. Wish it would have shown up the message it sent, to see how good it was at putting his words down. Whenever I use a assistant app it always gets a extra work in their -_-
So when you make the $20.00 donation, you'll receive the app when est. release? Or do you get it now, then updates?
