Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
They've tweeted that there's a delay in updates. Don't worry about it. It normally has a lag, even.
I don't know if I can believe it...Android File Transfer fired up when I plugged the Nexus into the Mac (uh, with the right cable--they are all not made equally. I now have a USB cable only good for charging, not data transfer--that will be confusing--I may have to hide it), and it *almost* fired up when I plugged in the Tab. Is this what the Kies update is about? Will I finally be able to do a file copy between devices? Happy day, happy day.

Gnng. I'm just fretting because it's the login to update ALL the GCS stuff. Plus, I'm not good with being patient. Ever.
Speaking of patience, apparently bitmetv is "just" moving servers. No ETA, shut the fuck up.
Also Kies won't recognise the Tab anymore, and AFT is just intermittently complaining that it needs to be rebooted.
Does anyone have any recommendation for good Android icon packs? I don't really like the ones with ADW launcher, and there are so many out there. I'm scrolling through ThaIcon Ultimate, and it's pretty nice and varied. Maybe I will find one that generally says "web" haven't found it yet. But I think I might replace some of the folder icons with it.
I am using Project Vexilium, with a couple of custom icons I got from random ADW themes that kind of look like it to fill in the gaps. There aren't many gaps: I think there are 1200+ icons in the project.
It started life as a package for MIUI, but it has been ported to ADW/Launcher-Pro
Here's a link for Vexilium: [link]
Google is being remarkably shy about Thalcon; do you have a link I could see?
Here's Tha Icon. It's got a pretty good range. I just realised there are even more themes (some paid, some unpaid) associated with it, so I can continue my B&W theme for my dock. And maybe I will eventually find the right folder icon, but am I seriously going to manually switch them all out? Dunno.
Lemme go look at Vexilium.
Man, why won't Android accept Bluetooth transfers of APKs? It doesn't even care if I change the file extension. Just won't accept them.
What's the simplest way to set group ringtones in ICS? I've downloaded both ringtone pro and Ringo, but wonder if anyone else has any other recs? I'd like to be able to set group notifications.
Editing to add: what are you guys currently using Locale or Tasker or any other similar app for? Mine are mostly location based, but here goes:
Phone
- shut off audio around either of my most visited cinemas
- change ringtones, mostly for the hell of it, but also to be subtler at work
- switch on wifi where I know there's a good network
- change screen timeout delay, especially when charging
- turn on and off hotspot sharing (still works with new phone!)
- trigger notifications of location dependent tasks
- turn off "less important" functionality when power is low
Tablets
- similar to above
- turn over to silence during sleepy times
Well, I'm about to bite the bullet and buy a blu-ray player. Does anyone have any recs? Warnings? Is region-free an issue for someone like me who's likely to have the UK
Sherlock
S2 discs before the player arrives?
