    New game on Samsung Apps

    Looks like Samsung just released another game on Samsung Apps. This time it is Glyder 2 from Glu. As per tradition of Glu Mobile, Glyder 1 does not exist on android, so don't bother looking for the first game. -_- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhTlsGmuCFo Gameplay: You control the main...

    More sections in Galaxy S forum please.

    I have noticed this for a very long time. Facsinate, Captivate and Vibrant all have different sections for tips&tricks, troubleshooting, accessories, etc. Yet the Galaxy S forum only has a Root section. That wasn't a problem because of the small number of users, but lately there has been an...

    Disable auto install to SD

    This has been ticking me off for a while now. Quite a few apps on the market (e.g. angry bird, Obenkyo, Reckless racing, etc.) automatically install to the SD card rather than the internal memory. I suppose it make sense for phones with small internal memory, but for some phones that's a...

    [Poll] Do you know the refund time limit for Android Market?

    Just thought it would be interesting to check and see how many of you know what the current refund time limit is. For your information, every once a while during a purchase a window does pop up notifying you of the correct time limit, but I guess not everyone actually bothers to read it.

    Bluetooth GPS, anyone?

    Just found out that Android Froyo actually supports bluetooth GPS the other day, and that it's actually possible to use it in conjunction with Google Maps. (Though it's a little fiddly). So, has any of you ever used a bluetooth GPS together with an Android phone?

    So why is there no True HDR carmera app on android yet?

    iPhone users have been playing with HDR photos for a long while now, but it seems like Android users are still eating the dust. Google added exposure support in Froyo, but so far there isn't a single app that takes advantage of that. (PicSay Pro does allow exposure adjustment, but you have to...

    Help What is your /cache partition size?

    Please post the size of your /cache partition. You can find that by using root explorer on a rooted phone. I currently have a /cache of just 28 MB, which seems to be restricting my ability to download any apps bigger than that.

    Weekend discussion: The Future of Smart Phone/Notebook Hybrid
