I think that's a crock a crap. Users should always have the option to opt-in or out when privacy is concerned.

Suck ballz!!!

Looks to me like Google is trying very hard to earn more money by knowing us better and focusing ads.
Can't blame them for trying. Their earnings weren't good enough, while Apple's beat expectations. Looks like the competition is pushing Google to try anything that could help them make an extra dollar.
What i don't like is not having an option to opt out of it.

Who cares. Not like I have anything to hide. Their not selling the info soooo what's the big deal?

Total BS! One, everybody should be given the option to opt out just out of respect. Second, thus is just the type of ammunition the government needs to bring PIPA back to the table and you know SOPA will follow. So I say BS!!!!! Respect our privacy and give us an option!! Google and other companies are getting to big for their britches. What started out as a great company is now becoming an evil corporation and they don't even realize it.

As long as Google isn't selling the data, I don't really care. I block ads on every device I use so they are wasting their time and money on me.

Google----part of the new world order. Everything they come up with that has to do with privacy is justified by them for your own good, but this is all part of theplan. You have heard Bush Sr. promise this, Bush Jr., Clinton, Obama. We are moving there because it is designed to be that way so might as well fight it or get on the bus, your choice at least for now. Oh by the way, facebook is part of it too. The whole idea is to build a profile on everyone so when it is time for microchip, they have your information for the chip. Anything else they say is hoccus poccus. This is strategically planned. Who can tell you, I will know everything about you and you can't stop me, does that seem like freedom of choice? Think really deep about this one.

Bing.com or block google cookies on all your devices, or just accept you are using great products for free and will only get more relevant ads. If you are concerned about privacy, recognize your ISP can already tell the government everything you do online.

Like they say, nothing is free.
The question is would you opt in to pay $100 annually to use their "free" services?
Anything on the web that is "free" generates income one way or another.

And to be honest, I rather see a relevant AD than some viagra bs. What did bother me at one point few months ago is when I was signed off facebook and browsing the web, there was a tech article and when I went to comment it already had my facebook information ready to comment as.

2012 The Year of Prophecies

Um.... This was the plan from the start. Why did you think Google went through the trouble of providing an OS with all this integration in the first place. Does anyone know how they generate their revenue? I don't care since I don't have anything to hide, and this is what I need to pay to have all these things available for me to use. I can see how some might be upset that the man is in their business, but thats the price you pay to pimp the little green robot.

Google now.

Google now is pretty straight foward and its actually my first time using it and I'm already liking it. What can I expect as time goes on from it?

You can expect it to start learning from you. For example, after a while it can give you traffic data to home right before you leave work/school on a consistent schedule

Yep and if you check in at your fav burger joint or strip club :cyclops:, GN can tell you the traffic, if any to get to that destination. Also you can also get your fav sports team scores, local stuff happening in your area, even notifying you when a package was sent. I love the integration of google keep as well. Awesomsauce all around IMO.

You can expect to get traffic and weather notifications for every single place you Google, sometimes weeks later. But nothing for important meetings on your calendar unto 45 too late.

I have keep as well. How does it integrate itself with keep?

I think Google Now is the only thing keeping me on Android. It's just become TOO useful when I was doing things like checking Maps on my desktop and finding that a card would be added to my Now list, giving directions and ETA if I were to leave right away.
I'm definitely enjoying the way it's implemented, and it's become a tool I can't imagine using a smartphone without anymore.

I have a card for the Yankees, but it hasn't appeared yet. There is a game on right now and I can search it but it doesn't show the card yet. When should I expect it to pop up

Tasker, sl4a... depends how geeky you want to be. With sl4a people have controlled robots and stuff. Tasker has a little learning curve and it's limited only by imagination. There are several other automaton apps out there but Tasker is regarded as the most robust. You can even create standalone apps from within Tasker to sell on the play store if you were so motivated.

GN sucks.

What do you think about the new Play Store?

I think the icons for the apps are way too big for our note. I personally think it was better before when we could actually see more apps before scrolling.

Eh... it definitely could show more on one page like it did before. I rarely go through lists of apps except for when setting up my phone after a flash. I did end up turning my phone sideways and then it showed the apps list similar to how it did before

This design is good for the elderly and hard to see people. Kind of like the Big Launcher.
But for me, I would like to see more on one screen.

I prefer the previews version.

Not sure if it's possible but yeah, it would be neat if someone could maybe modify it.

So far I hate the new layout. I liked it better before
Sent from my Note II using XDA Premium

+1 many times on the previous version. When turning pages, icons seem way too big.
Someone on Google has an increased visual prescription :silly:

I don't care for it very much. Seems like a more childish version of the store, were as the previous version seemed more mature and had a nicer style to it.
I really hope this isn't what to expect for key lime pie
noted for future reference on my Note 2

I just went through every layout available with hybrid properties in Paranoid Android and I couldn't find one I don't hate.
The best looking one was actually the 360p, the others have even fewer apps per page.
What were they thinking?!
Sent from my phablet.

Previous version is better ....
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I don't like it. Looks like the play store lost it edge. It's to big, to immature looking, and if it could display all my previous purchases that would be great.

I think the previous purchases are there. Just that the icons are 1000x bigger.

It's horrible for reasons mentioned. I tried it in a early release and quickly switched back to my modded version. Just look for modded versions and find one that doesn't auto update. I imagine they will become more popular soon enough. It was such a bad choice that I hope that dept or designer gets fired. What a sh!theaded move...

You'd think that they could come up with something better...

Or hit by a bus. It is complete and utter crap. You'd think they'd have learned from seeing Microsoft suffer with Win 8. Don't make massive UI changes that people can't opt out of. Yes I know you can access the desktop in W8, but you need Classic Shell or other stuff to get a proper start menu.

Yup... Same reason why I'm stickin with my Win7/Linux setup for a couple of more years. I was kinda excited initially but got turned off the more and more they released hints and sneak peaks for 8. I haveven considered a iMac. I helped purchase and setup one for my in-laws. Yup they're old and technologically inept lol! I wanted to sandbox them without worrying about too many viruses. Last model winxp they had (too cheap to run decent antivirus) drove me insane. My dad (graphics artist) has been preaching the praises of apple for years (way before iPod was a twinkle in Steve Job's brain) and has one also. I have to admit it is pretty nice for some things but is still too limited IMHO. Thinking about EVER owning an Apple product makes me cringe no offense cause some of em are great products just too hipster and limited in capacity.
Back to Playstore (still think the name change was stupid)... Maybe they could make it have different file views like file explore r or multiple views based on DPI a compromise next UI overhaul. I wonder sometimes if Google is making poor choices the more mature Android gets. Over simplifying things just because of the fact that a few critics claim Android is too complicated isn't a great thing. Sometimes things get more confusing and lose fuctionality in the process of simplification. Thank goodness this just a isolated case with playstore and maybe a couple of things for now. It could be way worse. Android is still the greatest mobile player around but they better continue to listen to the little guy and developers especially on the eve of Ubuntu Mobile which could take a piece of the pie.

im very happy with it they removed the dumb ass page after installing / updating apps :good:

The store seems to be going downhill ever since they renamed it from Google Market to Play Store.

it doesnt bother me. It looks much better inverted though. . I wish Google would bring back the purchased tab

So basically they say: We want to make sure Android has an amazing experience on all devices.
AKA: Performance optimization, less RAM usage by system, faster app loading. At least, that's what I guess

so, what are the odds of the Gnex getting this? even with the possible performance optimization.

Does the fact Google didn't jump a full version number bode well for us nexus folk?

if I get this correctly, Google is working on something that would be available for all, or at least for the majority of devices? How can this possibly take place? Is Google trying to establish one version of its own OS for all, same as the iOS goes for all iphones, and then evolve that? Maybe with some small code changes for different type of phones? Kinda confusing statement but I guess its good news. Boy, I can see how the upcoming update will put XDA forums on fire. And definately this is going live by the end of this year.
PS: Judging by the name Google must have paid a great amount of money as using a name/brand of chocolate that popular is a great deal.

Android 4.4 should use Google's 4.8 toolchain! :good:

where is the OTA ?!?
That's the next question for the next days

And mad props for google in breaking the main news of the day.

apparently, google went to nestle (or who ever makes KitKats) and they reached a "no money changed hands" deal in 24 hours.
its a good deal for both IMO.
google would have to pay for the kitKat name, KitKat gets free advertising, everyone is happy with no money.
I think google just wanted the name, and it happened to work out that KitKat was OK with that and happy for the advertising.
i would personally never buy a KitKat, but now that i have a chance to win something android, i am going to be buying up the stores

I wouldn't put much stock into the "available to everybody" phrase on the KitKat Android page.
The closest we've had is the slow trickle of apps being unpaired from the system core and launched on Google Play instead.
That's assuming we're even talking about software, that line is so vague it could mean anything (and possibly nothing, just marketing talk due to the 1 billion device activations).

for me what matters is "an amazing Android experience", I think something about a better user interface probably
in my opinion it's still not sure if we get it or not
Ps: on the bottom of the page it says: "Sign up to learn more when we launch the release", so it's not going to launch soon..1-2 months?
Pps: http://kitkat.com/ website is down, too much visits probably, they are having a break

Nothing to do with the ZL - this should be in the Android General forum.

Beak me off a piece of that KitKat bar yo!
In all seriousness, all we know is a name so far. There are rumors under the key lime pie codename but that's it. We won't be seeing an official ROM from Sony on the ZL until Q4 2014 or even H1 2015. We will be lucky if we have 4.3 officially by the end of the year.
Saying all that. The version numbers aren't very important now that Google has separated most of their services from their OS. In a way that is very good because we get most of the latest features that gets rolled out with the various gapps updates without having to wait for the features to be updated with the ROM.
Since I like to rock it stock, I am looking forward to an official 4.3 release for our phone to have native TRIM support.

Google hit a point where there's no more innovation. It used to be every time an Android update hit, massive sweeping changes were implemented that completely changed the experience. Now, we're lucky if it's smoother or better battery life.
I keep hoping they will announce 5.0, but even then I have to wonder exactly what they would have as a feature to make you go "WOW!"

I don't see the problem with the cross promotion. It came out of a Google engineer's genuine enjoyment of the confection that resulted in a friendly promotional deal that benefited both parties without money changing hands. This is a rarity in business.

As for innovation, I don't think we will see anything major for a little while. The core experience had made a huge leap with the introduction of Android 4.0. Google has been introducing small changes that, as a user, I wouldn't have known about if I didn't keep up with tech news. For the most part, technical changes to the OS can really be mostly appreciated by the developers and those of use that care about technical details. Most users are given updates and innovations in the form of updated Google apps and services which Google has been separating from the underlying OS. In the cases where we don't like things that Google provides, we have the great developers here who help us make the most of what we want; the way we want it. ArsTechnica did a pretty good writeup if you want to read it.

It's still business, and Nestle benefits from it greatly. Nestle are a company with a very, very dirty history and if I wanted to support them, I'd buy their products - which I don't. Ever. This deal gives free advertising to them and their products and if I want the latest version of Android, I do not have a choice but to buy into that. If the Google engineer enjoys that confection, he should go out and buy a ton of it with his salary and that should be the end of it having anything to do with Android.
