I think the Android App store is borked

Under most popular apps, #6 is an app that monitors your service time if you're a Jehova's Witness. Really?

I agree...horrible organization and what not, if theres one thing that makes the iPhone what it is..it's the ease of the app store and the number of apps, not to mention there quality apps. One of the few things Google could learn from Apple.

Lmao, I had to check for myself, and sure enough.. It was there lol. I guess a lot of jehovas use Android.

I had to check.....

You would think Google would have some kind of relevant idea of how to properly organize, sort, and search data. I think might be cool for them to move into that field of research. What? That is Google's business?
on a serious note.. wtf is up with the market anyways, very poor features.. why cant we search by downloads number? rating? seems like basic functionality requirements of a marketplace to me.
sigh..

I believe that the best seller apps update or are reset once a month or once a week. That's the only explanation I have.

Is there somewhere to make an official request for a market filter (blacklist)? I would love to be able to blacklist publishers so they don't show in my search or any listing in the market. Genwi comes to mind as a garbage publisher that needs blacklisted.
Also, do "test" apps have to show up in the main Market? Really?? Come on.... Maybe devs should have their own sandbox market to play with.

That'll be great

What a joke, now that Jehova's Witness crap is #4. Is that organization paying Google or is the Market organization just ****ing retarded? I know that's not the 4th best selling app.

I love my nexus, but the whole market/app thing seems to be way over googles heads.
I sure hope we're not waiting for Froyo to get a better market.

That really s**s...just waiting to see Scientology somewhere and I throw it out of the .....

Got mine!!

Got it!! this thing is INCREDIBLE!!!

Let us know about your thoughts on the battery life

they gave it to me with 3/4 battery life left. i'm going to burn it all the way down and recharge and go from there. it would be nice if we had a battery meter that would tell life time remaining. i.e. 16hours, 18 minutes. (p.s. i started this thread so everyone could join in the "i've got mine" party. not to brag! )

This thing is F'ing unbelievable! I don't think I've ever been more pleased with a phone & I've had almost all of them. I have no complaints. Can't wait to get home & root this beast! Sprint, HTC & Google just told Apple & the rest of the industry to suck their Evo!!!

Look up BatteryTime Lite in the app market. It will give you a counutdown of how long it should last using various activities. The Evo probably isn't in the options yet, but you can choose other and import your battery mAh

but there's no app that just displays time remaining? I.E. OSX laptops have a countdown in the top right that says how much time you have left

Do we have any indication that Samsung and/or SamsungJohn are hearing us???

I didn't want to pollute the issues thread (and I commend the ones that started it). I am just curious if we have any indication that Samsung and/or SamsungJohn hear us???
This forum could be a GREAT way to feedback directly to Samsung and give them input on their software (if they are indeed serious about fixing it). They could even use a portion of the XDA population (those that are capable) for beta testing and feedback since their beta testers seemed to miss quite a few big bugs, some that have been known to us for MONTHS.
Like I said, I commend the effort, just wondering if we KNOW (for a fact) that the right eyes see your work.

Not a bad idea, but I don't want to unnecessarily flood his PM box if someone here knows.
I wonder if he even checks it any more??? He hasn't posted in a little while.

Try tweeting him

It's not that we're celebrating or anything. It's just many of us saw this coming from Samsung. I promise I'm not rubbing it in.

Best Buy - Check out this week's smartphone offers - Email

Did anyone else get this email from Best Buy today?
They have butchered our new Evo3D in this picture.
They have replaced the top with the Samsung Epic 4G ** If you zoom in you can see that they have pasted the top of the phone over it. **, and the Status Bar seems to be from the same Epic 4G

That's the Evo 3D, but you're right, the top of the phone is actually the Samsung phone. Wierd... probably photoshopped this way because the original ad was going to feature the Samsung but they made a last minute switch and this was the easiest way to do it.

Marketing Director: "There are too many flat tops, put a round top phone in the middle."
Photo Production Guy: "Ok, you want me to replace the Evo 3D?"
Marketing Director: "No, we need to showcase that phone."
Photo Production Guy: "Ok, you want me to rearrange them?"
Marketing Director: "No, just make that middle phone a round top."
Photo Production Guy: "Sigh."

Samsung is on XDA taking suggestions

This guy seems legit. We can get our wishlists in.

I hear this guy is friends with the tooth fairy

Haha, your probably right.

telling people that they could forward "suggestions" to him about inclusions in Lollipop should alert you to his trollishness; Lollipop was probably finalized at Samsung months ago.

That picture doesnt mean anything..

Like i said looks legit.

This is from his facebook page which is tied to his email account that he ises on xda.

If you don't want to believe its ok man. It does seem far fetched.

Look at the name tag. He's not an employee. He's part of Samsung's App Academy which is sort of like an internship for high school juniors/seniors. He's still in high school.

You're right, http://www.scholastic.com/samsungacademy/index.aspx
Check this out, His post count doesn't update. Shows as N/A
XDA internal thing? Is XDA making a joke out of us?

Wow!!!!!
Samsung please please stop with the fugly white interface!!
Oh and we know this isn't going to land with Samsung. Just entertaining this thread.

Mods, close this useless thread. The OP is on Cloud 9. I'd rather e-mail the CEO of Samsung, like I've done before when the Note N7000 (aka Note 1) was in the market. What a difference that made, if any, lol.
