[Q] Gaming Buzz Widget now discontinued. Any alternatives? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sigh. This sucks, my favorite widget since the launch of Android. The Gaming Buzz widget, well the Buzz team at mippin.com just now have it saying the service is discontinued. =( Anyone know what happened or a good alternative to get all the good gaming news again?

+1, I really miss this widget, wonder why they closed it down.

I emailed mippin about this, saying I would even pay 5$ for them to bring it back (Maybe like a paid app) They wrote me back to use this for an alternative. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zite&hl=en

Do a search on the Google Play or Amazon App store for: Filtr Gaming
I'd post a link but the forum won't let me because I'm new.

Facebook kind of app optimized for Android tablet, here it is!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.locomolabs.facebook
"Friend Me"
See if it does work on GT 10.1
nice find! it's not perfect, but it works better than the official facebook app(which is really embarrassing for facebook)
this looks great!
Not bad, But It would make sense for Facebook to add tablet support these days.
the ipad is just about to get one soon... so hopefully that means one for honeycomb as well

Can anyone post the apk? Thanks!
fb too busy for apps
facebook is too busy trying to sell users information and invade their privacy instead of developing apps for ipad and honeycomb
u can DL it from Andriod market for free
I really like it so far. I haven't tried the official facebook app yet but the layout of this one is really nice. Only gripe is that I can't seem to find the notifications.

I don't like how clicking on a friends name does not bring to to their profile. I don't wanna have to search for a friend that just posted on my wal
Agree deleted app
If this doesn't quite work for you, TweetDeck works fantastic for basic functions. No liking individual comments, and I'm not sure how it handles pictures, and there's no chat, but it scales nicely and the app is solid. Notifications too. You do need to make a Twitter account to use it, but it's a small inconvenience until Facebook gets their act together.

[Q] Good Weather Radar Widget?

I want to find a weather radar widget that works nicely with the NC. Any advice?
Right now, I have Weatherbug Elite, but it's radar widget won't stretch very big, and when you click on it, it's just a little map that comes up, anyway. I want something that I can make into a larger widget or something.
Rainy Days. There's no temp or forecast, just fullscreen radar with pinch-to-zoom. It gets data from weather services all over the world so you can even watch it rain in China.
I just realized you're asking about a widget. This is an app. Oops! I mean, it's a really good app but it's not a widget. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
Might still be worth checking out. Thanks.
Id love a good widget too. Rainy days is the best I've found but no widget.

If you guys really like this app and would like an widget, simply send some comments to the developers. You would be surprise how responsive the Android developers are.

I mean, comments you send via email to the developer's email (you can find the email from market app detail screen). Because popular apps always have a lot of comments on review (listed on app detail screen), developers prefers email comment.

This...I actually had an email conversation with the man behind rainy days...great guy and was open to the widget idea. Send him feedback and I'm sure he will be all over it.
Edit...don't be mad at him if he releases it as a bonus in a paid version...programmers have to drink beer too......

Sort results in market/play store?

Hi! Is there any way to sort search results on the Google market e.g. after downloads or views or rating? Thanks.
Ad
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
Not currently possible in the app, but it should be possible on the website.
Yeah on the website it works but whyyyy is Google not integrating it in the app.
Isn't there the possibility to integrate this function in a mod somehow?
Thx
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
Even on the website, the only options are by Popularity and by Relevance.
I wish i could sort by Rating, by Developer, alphabetically...
google seems to make it on purpose not to let you sort the results... MADAFAKAZ!! :x

It can barely find information about anyone asking about sorting results from play store. xda developers must be only ones who think outside the box.
How we can make it sort every search results as i want.
Like downloads, stars e.t.c.?
Sorting seems to have been removed from the website as well. Damn it Google, why must you turn everything to ****.
I've just had to reinstall after a full reset, and this has to be one of the worst aspects of the play store. I wish I understood programming, but is there anyone can make an app to fix this lack of sortability and lack of filtering?
I'm with @Newtoys, why does google always go one step to far and mess up perfectly good things?
Agreed: Google makes it Harder, not Easier!
Searching for a small business collaboration app
Only returns results with app that have the word "collaboration" in the title?
If I was a developer, I would be reluctant to ever get involved,
how are potential customers supposed to find your App if you don't give it a name that sound too much alike all the other apps in the same category.
And Furthermore: I don't care about the icon, I want to be able to scan an encapsulation of the capacity of the app... Who cares what color the button is going to be on my screen !!!
If Google is the "Ultimate Search Engine" why then can't I use a Google search to go through the Play Store Apps..?
NO !!! Instead it returns a listing of Other Web Sites and the Apps that they recommend ?
I am with you guys on this. Been wondering this for years now. I also found it weird that when I try and Google search this issue, this thread is the only one relevant to our problem. I'd be willing DL a modified play store app even. The worst is when I want to see about any new/updated apex themes and I have to browse a library of themes I've seen before.

lol, exact same f##@ up when im going thru Layers themes !! Usually we need the latest updated themes since they work as expected with updated AOSP Roms...but stupid google wont let me sort a list of apps by the 'last updated' date !!
Any 3rd party apps that browse the entire play store app catalogue and have the ability to sort them by their last updated date ?
same here... i want to sort apps by it size since the day start using play store but never see such feature or any proper useful sorting method in play store.. and when google for sprting apps, i end up right here... hope some1 has the solution for this... seriously...

Argyle Sweater & Beau Peep App ?

I may be a bit off by asking this, but a man gotta do what he gotta do ..
I been a huge fan of Argyle Sweater and Beau peep comic strips.
The humour in those has been very good and has been the best thing to read first thing in the morning. (Maybe i can add Hagar the horrible in that list too)
A few months back, i had noticed the Argyle Sweater app and had delayed the download as i wasnt sure about my phone at that time. I coaxed my friend who was using the iphone to get it, and he has been hooked ever since.
Now recently i went to the app store to download it and its simply not there !
Can anybody pls fill in here pls? Either the link for the app or the reason for them removing AS app from the store ?
Also, any link for a Beau peep and maybe Hagar the horrible will be nice.
Thanks in advance
So you're saying you actually saw it on the android play store and now it's gone, or you saw it on the Apple app store and assumed it would be for android too? Cause I just searched and couldn't find it anywhere on our play store either.
Yea, i saw it on Play store.
Only when i noticed Argyle Sweater being available as an app, i immediately made my friend search and download on his iphone.
I had sent the query to The Google Play support team, and this is what they replied:-
Thanks for contacting us - I understand you're looking for The Argyle Sweater you'd downloaded before; however, The Argyle Sweater is no longer available on Google Play. Either the developer has chosen to remove the app, or the app has been taken down due to violations of the Google Play Terms of Service. If you’d like to review those terms, please visit these links:
http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html
http://www.android.com/market/terms/developer-content-policy.html
If you'd like additional details about why the app is no longer on Google Play, you're welcome to contact the developer directly at [email protected]. Unfortunately, at this time, we're not able to provide any further details as to why the app is no longer available.

Now i have sent an email to the developer as well.
It should have never been taken down in the first place.. :|

A little bit off topic but what I would really want is to get back the old version of facebook. It was so simple and fun. Now it's just a network for affiliate marketing and ads. It used to be a real community site.
Also, bring back myspace and orkut plsss

I totally agree.I suggest in many forums from various devs to make either a fb magisk module,either a modded app,either to add option to their custom fb app to have option to see feeds ONLY photos from our friends.FB has became as you said an advertising place.Algorithm also has changed to a way that you don't see friends photos,just pages feeds.It has became so boring..
