Dunno if anyone here is used to little charity/getting paid games for exceptional price, but new humble android bundle is out. https://www.humblebundle.com/
P.S. if anyone doesnt know how it works, but tl;dr, drm free full .apks of games, usualy nice ones for little price in disguise of charity to help children, cross platform
You have to mention that they really donate their money, not like "like and share to help this kid from Africa" posts and photos from Facebook

I was just thinking the other day about how much money I have wasted on apps. And there have been quite a few on my behalf...
Spb shell 3d £14.99
Goto lockscreen £2.99
Air sync for dropbox £4.99
Plus others. Lol
Is there anywhere that could tell me how much money I have spent or wasted on apps?

Check you bank account is a good start.. and or Google account
Are you married...? That would do it.
not yet!!! hence being on here!!! lol
Rom Toolbox Pro.
Utterly useless. Developer fobbed me off when I made an initial support request then left me hanging after I made a subsequent request (and hinted I might have wanted a refund) & didn't get back to me/ignored me.
A very poor experience all round
LauncherPro Plus has to be one for me!
And, iSyncr for iTunes.
i do not know if you can call this waste of money but i have purchased games and they are top games like gameloft ones when they were on offer but hardly play any of them.. Captain America, Driver and etc...Just could not help myself...But do not even play them so yeah i guess that was a waste of money.... and apps like fitness manager and so on...haha me fitness....probably i see a bargain and can not resist myself..problem is even if it is a bargain i hardly use it
HDWidgets...bought it when it was on sale(10% price sale ) Complete waste of money.
I know what you mean with the 10p sale. The gameloft games are hit and miss. Numerous adw themes. That I don't use.
Although there have been some top apps that have been well worth it.
XDA premium
Smart keyboard
Chu Chu rocket
endomondo
Soundhound

Defo with the gameloft games lol. Waste of money like modern combat 2, gangsta. Best money spent is launcher pro, root explorer and xda premium.
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
Have none of you heard of mobilism.org? :O

Shell 3d. It's a decent ui actually but just too expensive. The 3d effects get boring real fast.

I hate to say it, but supercurios app - Louder. I totally respect the guys work but it doesn't seem to do anything special for my device. Volume+ works much better for me, especially with the extra bass.

Well how the hell do you expect to be able to keep tabs on important things like spending and what to think or say when you won't invest in the basic wetware required?
Or are you running some flavour of trial version?
Shazam - the first app I purchased, just to learn that Soundhound does it better and free!
Slide it keyboard and HD widgets - bought them at the 10 billion app festival, and I'm not using it. but hey, worth the 10 cents!

Never real spent enough on an app to worry to much - Sygic's maps are easily the most expensive, but no regrets there.
Bought a few that have never made it onto newer ROM installations - Better Keyboard (Swiftkey is so much better), adw launcher and a fewthemes (now on Go Launcher ex), App Folder Pro (unnecessary).
Shady, I'm loving Voodoo Louder, and hated volume +

Yes. Have you heard of cheap parasitic bloodsucking miserly tossers who are too tight to contribute to developers' efforts?
I like many of you love to play games when there's time to. But as I'm searching the Market (not calling it the Play Store) I find myself passing on games that although look good, I am deterred by the fact it requires in game purchases to fully enjoy the experience.
Now... I am by no means a skimper. I buy all full versions of every app on my phones. I would rather pay $20 (or whatever) up front and enjoy my experience without interruption. Am I selling myself short and missing out by not "playing and paying" or is my idea of paying a full up front fee valid? Set me straight guys/gals.....

Unfortunately thats the way games are now. Start for free, pay to keep going. Or rather free to play, pay to win.
I played Order & Chaos on iPhone and Android when my android phone did support it. Well worth paying for.
It is better for consumer to pay once. The companies can earn more by charging tiny bits at a time.

Thank you kindly for your reply. I guess I'm showing my age. LOL
I'm the "console" generation. Still used to forking out $ for "cartridges." I guess some habits are hard to break.
But your points are valid. Just depends on which side of the fence you're on..

Madman is right that is the way games are now. I only play one game that I actually make in app purchases, other than that I generally stay away from games that require in app purchases to actually make the game enjoyable. If you look hard enough though you can find some games that have the option for in app purchases but the game is still enjoyable without them.

Thanks VB. My biggest worry is that a $1 here a $1 there ads up to more than its worth for a game that may only take 30 minutes to finish. But you're right. I'm going to have to jump in and find out.
If you don't mind me asking what are you currently playing?

The game i spend on is Haypi Kingdom. There is no way to win the game so I dont have to worry about being nickle and dimed then the game is over. Thats the reason that i actually spend on it. I worry about the same thing when im looking for games because like you i dont wanna make in app purchases then the game be over.

Most free games are the ones that nickle and dime you to play....for instance pocket legends requires platinum for ingame purchases which requires real currency to get. .stuiped I know....most games that are more money upfront are the ones that are complete opposite .... some games I like are rpg... pocket legends/ pocket empires....things like that....I'm still searching for a good game for this note.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. I'll give Haypi Kingdom and Pocket Legends a try. Cheers!

IAP is a scourge. I hate it and won't play them. Charge me one price.
In theory I totally agree Creek as I'm on the consumer side of things. But I'm going to give it a go so I can say I at least fully gave it a shot. But I hate being nickled and dimed on any level.... lol

Hi, I'm living in china at the moment and was thinking about getting a new phone. But by default, phones here are somewhat more expensive then they are in the US so I'm not sure yet whether I wanna dish out ~$700 just to get an S3...
Chinese brands are obviously much cheaper here and I have heard that brands like Huawei are really nice. But to be honest, I just don't trust them :T....
I was looking at the Xiaomi phones which are rapidly gaining popularity, and well, just the specs and the price of the phones got me extremely interested in them . On paper they seem to be extremely powerful, and here I can get the Xiaomi M1S for 1500¥ (~$240) or the new Mi-2 for 2000¥ ($320). I'm extremly tempted to get one, but alas, the only reviews and such I can find are in chinese (which I obviously do not understand :S).
So I ask you, citizens of XDA , if any of you have had experience in owning or even handling a xiaomi phone. How are they, pros & cons, should I get one?? Which one then?
Thank you!
Definately go for MI 2 or even Miezu Mx. Worth it. Don't have either but i 'd surely buy if i was in your place.

Thanks I guess...
but it's just that I'm not sure about the durability and handling of chinese products....that's why I wanted input from someone who has had hands on experience with the products
I'd buy one they can't be too bad if they come preloaded with miui
Why don't you get google translate to translate their reviews

Mine cost me $300 off launch... Got really lucky though. As for lack of apps, could care less... Only thing I'm missing which I really would like is Instagram (mainly for my friends that post up awesome pics). Other than that, the built in LinkedIn, FB, and Twitter are sufficient enough for me. Not sure what other apps I would want and crave. Maybe you can suggest some.

Unbloating is easy. Root and uninstall the AT&T apps. Or freeze them.
As far as cooks- how about you start learning how to do it? I've taken my time as a short-order Android cook and let me tell you, nothing becomes more annoying than posts like this without an offer to help. You got an awesome, albeit proprietary, device. Proprietary devices ALWAYS see less development. :good:

Look. If you want to be a bitter and sad little person, go do it somewhere else. This forum isn't an outlet for your petty self validation.

what is it you wan't to get out of this question in dev section?
it seems like no "rom maker" got this device, even if it's a smart one
Just wondering: since this device sells with at&t, is the bootloader locked in the pad phone x? Thanks.
samsung fanboy come here and cry lolzzz
While I have zero chef skills, with these going for $200 unlocked on ebay, maybe we could donate $20 a pop to get one for a potential chef. I'd even offer up some ProClip car mounts at my cost to help the cause. I won't complain since I know how time consuming it is and people already have their personal devices and usually one or two more they support. For $200 though, this seems like great piece of kit to have as a backup/toy to play with, especially with a real keyboard dock.
Just bought mine yesterday and hope to bring some development to this device.
