The Android thread

Over here a store is offering the Nexus S for ?299 instead of ?499 'till the end of the week. No contract.
 
Send me one? :p
 
The Sensation 4G hasn't received the update yet to bring it to the same version of Sense as the Evo 3D and European Sensation. When it does, it'll be smooth, ask Adu.

Anyway!

A Motorola Xoom for $399? Woot, indeed!

I read your post, texted a couple of friends, talked about it with my father, talked to my manager (huge Android fan), then thought "I should post this on FG" and began to write a post. Took me a minute before it dawned on me where I first heard about it! :?
 
Do not update Twitter app, broken in 2.1.0 right now.

Pro: Multiaccounts
Contra: Can't log in properly

Me to Twitter support:

Tried both of that, now, after removing the accounts, I can't log in any more. Before, it kept asking me to add a new account on every start of the app, when I added the account it said account already added. The only workaround was hit menu, info, clock on @mobilesupport, it opened your profile, from there I could navigate back to normal twitter. Tried uninstalling update, worked again, installed update, broken again. Then I tried removing the accounts, now I can't login any more "unknown error".

lot of people complaining in market too.
 
but i just did. :\
 
As Ice said, there is a recent update that greatly improves the UI performance of the Sensation.

I have the new market, and while some changes are for the better, I don't think I like it overall.

How do you update apps in the new market?? I can't find the "update all" button under My Apps.

Finally, Rogers is getting an HTC device! However...

Snapping shots with your cell phone is a great option because you always have it with you. But imagine shots of your favourite rock band or the great Canadian landscape in 3D. It?s now possible with the HTC EVO 3D and the LG Optimus 3D, Canada?s first 3D smartphones, which will both be available exclusively from Rogers this summer.

Um, 3D anyone? :|
 
The EVO 3D is said to be the best HTC phone ever (identical to Sensation), just ignore the 3D, if you don't need it.
 
Any Samsung owners here tried an app called voodoo sound?
 
I had it on my Captivate and it was good stuff.
 
Tried that new Google market.
It's very windows 7.
I know it's beta? But it doesn't run very slick.
 
I've love to see an integration where it uses your phone as the display screen. Alas I do not think Android devices support audio out on microUSB though.

Done right like nokia's terminal mode standard then yes. I don't want a dock for my phone in the dash, but a nicely integrated screen mirroring the user interface...absolutely.

Jaguar is partnering with RealVNC to do this kind of integration: http://m.engadget.com/default/article.do?artUrl=http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/04/jaguar-xj-with-blackberry-integration-hands-on-video/&category=classic&postPage=1

Why is the Apps section now all full of games?
 
After a lot of putting off, I finally upgraded my SGS to 2.3.3. Contrairy to my expectations, the performance improvement is indeed huge. Very happy with the results so far.
 
I finally scratched my Vibrant's screen. 9 months of carrying it in my pocket with my keys and it just gets scratched now. I think it was a USB cable I was carrying that actually did it.

This has convinced me to get a Hercules in late September.
 
Has that been confirmed? I only remember strong-ish rumors.
 
Not yet.
