Anyone else getting that stupid ****ing banner ad every time they load a page here at XDA today? Every time I hear it I want to pistol whip someone.
Edit: downloaded "foof" plug-in for Firefox, no more banner ads!
I would tell you to use the Firefox AdBlock plus coupled with Flashblock to rid yourself of almost every annoying ad and annoyware on the internet but that would be bad because these sites rely on brazen and annoying ads to generate revenue.

Doesn't the user have to click on the banner ad for the site to get paid? If so, I don't feel bad blocking them because I never click on them anyway.
Some ads pay per impression, but an incredibly low rate compared to per click.

Tango has released their video chat for iOS and Android, you can find it in marketplace or at Tango.me
Might not show up in the Apple market just yet, they're a little slow.
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.
So does this mean we can video chat with iPhone users as well?
Fring already lets you talk with iOS devices.
What does this do differently?
Thanks for the info, will check it out.

Wow, that's what I have to say about the App. Its awesome, no push to talk button like qik. Way better picture quality, and its full screen. Also has a small button on the top right of the screen so you can switch cameras. I love this App, let's Tango everyone.

I downloaded Itunes to updated her IPhone, and the damn thing wouldn't even update(3G one) Took me 3 times to download the updated for some reason, and then it tried to backup her phone and itunes kept freezing. So she said i think i cant get a upgrade the the Iphone 4, so we log into he account(which takes about 3 min) her bill was 100 bucks and she had a 39.99 plan(i about pooped myself) but with all the additions(text,web, etc.) it brings her monthly bill up that high.

Yeah and it's HORRIBLE. I had a date with a really cute girl who just so happened to be the daughter of one of my colleagues, and I was texting my buddy about her, she got one of my texts to him and cancelled the date on me. To make matters worse, she told her dad and he made a comment to me about it. Now, I'm always nervous about sending private texts to people for fear that they are going to go to someone else. It is completely inexcusable and needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY.
Both issues are "inexcusable"
Although I will tell you that I've NEVER had the issue with ANY SMS program besides the stock one.
I've had consistent SMS issues with CM6. I really hope Gingerbread will have fixed these issues, but I have to doubt it.

Has anybody even experienced the SMS bug? Only 1.5% of users are experiencing this which equates to approximately 4,500. This is stemming from the daily 250,000 android activations so the bug is not THAT big of a deal. I think the press is the only reason Google hyped up it's urgency level. I don't even think it's a bug. I've noticed with a lot of android phones if you switch persons too quick in your messaging apps it picks the wrong person, which you wont notice and is where the whole sending to the wrong person goes.

Wouldn't discount its a "bug" but I also think its starting to get blown out of proportion. All of a sudden everyone has had an experience with a random girl and their boss / work colleague something dirty. Hah I don't doubt that its real, but the length at which this was "around" and now all if a sudden **** is raining hell fire. Don't discount its validity but maybe its severity. Clearly it isn't happening to everyone. And clearly it has become troll fodder. Everyone now has a "story" that sounds strangely similar .... :suspiciouseyes

knowing your phone is rooted, for support purposes, is not the same as having access to your personal data. at all.
can't expect to have your car fixed without opening the hood, ya know?
and this is the risk we take when rooting, not getting "official" support.
Full e-mail log or it didn't happen.
No offense to OP, but I don't think anyone should take his word until there's proof.
No biggy, the app is RootExplorer. Its just associated with the wrong email account. I figured this out myself and they said that there currently is no way of changing the associated account with a particular purchase...so if you buy it with the wrong account you are out of luck.
He did say they are 'seriously' looking at add the ability to move an app to another account.

It could be as simple as the fact that you have downloaded multiple root only apps. It's kind of a giveaway.
I'm surprised that you're surprised by the fact that Google knows your business. If you take a look at the permissions for the apps that come installed on the Evo stock, you'll find that they all have every permission out there... or almost.

Here is what i wrote,
Signed/Encrypted bootloaders... Come on HTC... This really pisses me off. Think about it, really, what are you losing here? Almost nothing. It is the persons choice to root, so you lose no quality control.
But back onto the actually point. Signing/encrypting bootloaders or other functions of a device that a consumer owns was considered a radical idea. It was frowned upon and was thought of as childish. And that is how you guys are acting, childish. You lock down your phones because your scared of what.... progress?
I understand there are some problems for you with rooting. For example, free wireless tethering, ability to use leaked ROMs and other factors. But this is such a small hand off to wage war with developers. Microsoft did it, Sony did it, even Apple did it.... Look were they all are now. The hackers do everything they can to make sure they can hack and DOMINATE the devices they lock down. In Microsoft's and Sony's case, there is a difference in reason, piracy. Now, tell me, if I can already install any app on my phone, what piracy are you protecting users form by not allowing them to do anything custom with their phone?
You have brought the whole world a step backwards, as a lot of people believe in your philosophies, and eventually will standardize them. What this about to start is enormous, there is no problem right now for you because people aren't even trying to hack your gay signature checks. Why? Because those developers DONT BUY THAT PHONE. ------->DONT<---- Buy that phone. Now, once that this standdard is implemented with every single modern phone, you guys will be tormented by the constant stream of hacks and exploits the a full force of developers can bring. You will be stressed to the point as the iPhone jailbreaking scene replicates itself to Android devices.
I mean come on HTC, do you really want to start all of this? I wouldn't. By not locking down your devices, you gain more customers(even though its a small percent that would leave because of your decisions), you gain a better view from people as a good company, and you get the benefit of geeks saying good things about you on their blogs. Yes HTC, thats were all the reviews come from, US. We will spare you no mercy in our reviews if you condemn us to this treatment any longer.
On a final note, i hope to rethink your decisions to sign/encrypt bootloaders and other parts of the phone. The whole point of Android is to be OPEN, not CLOSED. Thats what makes it different. The point is to be open, no matter what COST or FACTORS convince you otherwise. I do not even want to buy the HTC Evo 3D now because of your changes. Now HTC, rethink what you have done, please, and see if you can change it before it gets out of hand. In the end, you are the company that gets to make the decisions, but we are the consumers who buy your products.
Thanks so much for a great ride so far HTC,

LOL, I just went to sign in for the hell of it, and it's completely changed again. You have to go through a whole new sign up process even after signing in with your old account then choose if you are a 'type' of entertainer(musician, comedian etc..) or a fan. Then import things from your old account. Except since noone uses it anymore, you can't import any old friends, can't import your pics..pretty much only entertainers who you friended that also ported over their account.
It's set-up COMPLETELY different, the whole page layout is confusing. Everything is side scrolling.
Edit:There is a reason why noone uses side-scrolling in large web applications, I guess Myspace didn't get the memo.

LOL, I just went to sign in for the hell of it, and it's completely changed again. You have to go through a whole new sign up process even after signing in with your old account then choose if you are a 'type' of entertainer(musician, comedian etc..) or a fan. Then import things from your old account. Except since noone uses it anymore, you can't import any old friends, can't import your pics..pretty much only entertainers who you friended that also ported over their account.
It's set-up COMPLETELY different, the whole page layout is confusing. Everything is side scrolling.

I don't even know anybody that uses it anymore... But I guess Samsung didn't get the message either, my SGS2 had a MySpace plugin preinstalled lol.

XDA has become my new Facebook. I hardly do anything on there anymore. Sometimes I'll get in the mood and do like five posts, then I'll go a week without looking at it (except for notifications) long distance friends and family are the only reason I keep it.. I didn't care for G+ either. XDA is hands down the best social site for me.:beer:

Is it only on JellyBean devices that Facebook continues to be an epic failure? I can't even get the news feed to load so I can poke fun at peoples posts.
