Is there any way to force market to let you buy an app even when you have no compatible devices? I'd like to grab asphalt 6 at 10c for when I upgrade my phone... >.>
edit: for instance, any build.prop file that works for a nexus one to imitate an S2?

Good question but idk. I know it reads my hd2 as a google nexus cause of the rom on it.
Also, does anybody think they will change the apps daily? That would be 100 apps for just $10.

Vlingo isn't good enough for me yet. Maybe it's my "ghetto southern accent" people ask me about. Although I speak clear as day in my mind and hear myself normal and am a white guy.
Also, after seeing this -> Android billion link <- It appears they might change apps daily. I just hope they don't offer anything I paid $5 for already.

What's The Point in 720p Front Cam If It Only Transmits Videochat in 320x240?

I traded my S2 for a Galaxy Nexus because I read that the GNexus front cam supports 720p videochat.
Well I just found out that it only supports 720p video RECORDING, not video CHAT. I tested in Skype over WiFi and it transmitted in 320x240, which is much worse than the S2 transmitted at! Same result with Google Chat!
What a crock!

Well you should have no problem trading back for a SGS2. If i had a SGS2 I'd make that trade all day long.

Loading software off of LP cassette tapes to face to face video calls in 30 years... but no 720P?? Pointless.

how is a software limitation the phones fault. they limit it for bandwidth through their servers. I don't understated the problem here? just find a video chat that supports HD on ICS.

Isnt this just a software issue and could easily be fixed in an update? Or better yet any video chat app developer could just update their app to use the full 720p, no?

I can't see any Video chat allowing 720p. For a conference, thats 2 HD video streams (in and out). Your not going to be getting the bandwidth required for that kind of streaming
That would require each member to have TWICE that to send and receive. Plus how networking works, you'd bounce between so many servers that there is no way to guarantee that kind of bandwidth.
Streaming video is much different then streaming live service. Quality of Service is very important here to make sure Video and Audio sync up on the fly. It can't "buffer" minutes ahead (time travel?).
This is why most Video Conference are limited to 320x240 or (at most) 640x480. [email protected] is considered pretty good.
The higher the resolution the choppier it will be. And if your looking for a HD slideshow, then video conferencing isn't the best option. Trust me, when your away from your family for a few weeks, you'll take any resolution.
720p capability of the Front Camera is mostly related to taking stills and local recording.

Yeah, given that the source article cites...well, nobody, I have a hard time swallowing it.
However, that concept is interesting--notice the 3 "lenses" at the top. Could this be a hint (or at least, speculation) of a Kinect-integrated WP8 powered device coming later this year?
I hope so--MS really needs to kick it into high gear if they want to make a useful dent in Apple and Android's market share

Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

I actually wouldn't mind something similar to what that concept is.
The eternally continuous long list of apps is annoying to go through. I think maybe that's why iOS and Android have the different pages. There was probably some sort of research that indicated that people get fatigued by endless lists.
And bravo to the kinect idea. That would be great, and would definitely give WP a wow factor above the other platforms (finally).

The three holes in the screen are camera, ambient light sensor, and maybe a flash or multi color led ?
FFacing flash would rock, as would a multicolor led.

I don't really like the picture, but I hope it will be announced in June. They might announce it then and release 5-6 months later, with Windows 8

When you squint, the phone will enlarge fonts and zoom on pages. The suggest the nearest optician.

Double tap, tilt to zoom, features already available because Kinnect on Xbox and Windows isn't that good, so I highly doubt it will be any good on a mobile device.

How about this for a cool mms feature.

Have you felt kinda upset when you text someone and they don't reply back.? Wouldn't you like to know if you was blatantly being ignored or not. Well Facebook has this cool feature that tells you if your message was read and at what time. Who would like to see this feature in our mms app? I know I would. Which one of our talented developers on here could make that happen.?
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.

Won't happen
That feature would require information being sent back from that phone.... in other words, it won't happen.

Actually, long ago back in ancient times like 2004 or something, I had an old Verizon flip phone that could do this. But it only worked for other Verizon phones. If I texted someone who was also on the Verizon network, there would be a little yellow page that would appear, letting me know if they read my message or not.
This is available today but I think that it requires your carrier to cooperate. If you were to create such an app, you'd have to get all of the carriers to agree with you and let you use their network to determine if this person read the message or not. Carriers can know when you read a text message.
My dad is on the Go Phone plan for AT&T and uses a flip phone and they charge him every time he simply reads a text. If he receives a text but doesn't open it, he isn't charged for that text. That was the same with my Verizon phone. If I opened a text, I paid for it. So carriers do have the technology to know when you read texts...you just need them to cooperate with you if you'd like to create such an app.

[APP] Rando

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ustwo.rando
I think this is a pretty neat app. The basic premise is you take a photo (presumably of something cool or pretty) and it gets sent to a random person. In return, you get a random person's photo from somewhere in the world. I've gotten photos from Paraguay, Russia, Oman, and all over the States.
There are some annoyances. Primarily among them, (for me) is that they have a touch to focus feature, but then when you click capture IT REFOCUSES. Almost always poorly. I'm sure it'll be smoothed out soon though, the app is only a month or two old.
And I may just have my mind in the gutter, but my first thought was "I'm going to get a lot of pictures of genitalia". Not the case! First of all, there's a nice flagging feature. That I haven't had to use yet! I don't know if there's a screening algorithm, or if they just aggressively block flagged users. Or if smartphone users are just pretty darn classy. Mhm. I like that last one.
Here's a screenshot.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

... I don't know if it's that much better. I think the app relies on the auto focus that LG implemented in the camera code. It doesn't do anything but call the camera.takepicture() method. Maybe placebo effect, or the fact that the picture is in a smaller circle?
These don't look very different to me.
