Now that ur in Google plus what do u think of it?
Was it worth the effort and wait?
is it better then facebook or will it be in future?
ur the lucky ones What do u think so far of Google plus?
Thanks to me, Sofia.p, iynfynity, s15274n And whoever else i forgot that invited our xda members in after they closed the doors, ty again!
DONT POST IN THIS THREAD ASKING FOR INVITES, IF U DO I WILL CLOSE THIS THREAD! THERE ARE THREADS FOR THAT PURPOSE ONLY
Let me b the first to say I LOVE IT! The pc side of it maybe ok but where this shines is in the app itself. The huddle is frkn awesome instant messaging that runs as smooth as butter and the uploads and the pics and streams that update very fast and consistently. I use this more on my phone but this has real potential it already beats facebook with the instant messaging huddle. The circles are a nice thing which come in very handy and very easy to use and even a noob can handle google plus which is cool.
it was worth the wait for me
Been running it for a while from a different site. most of my friends would stay with facebook
I like it about as much as I liked wave.
Boring.
But then, I dropped facebook because I was bored with it. I don't think there is enough on Google+ to cause a mass migration off facebook.
Google plus has the one feature (granularity) that facebook lacks...
facebook has all the people...Until you get people to Plus it won't be worth anything. That is the biggest drawback right now.
id thought id get more responses from this, negative or positive
personally i dig it from what i've seen and used so far. unfortunately i doubt many, if any of my friends or family will make the switch from fb simply because they are so involved in fb already. most people don't really want to manage two social networks and them switching won't happen until 90% of their friends/family do.

i hate to agree with u but ur right
i like it, but it needs to open up so more people can get on it. as soon as that happens i'm deleting my facebook (though, i might not even bother waiting, i've been wanting to get rid of my fb for a while).
one thing i really like is the circles. i see this as a good solution to the people adding you that you don't really know but don't want to deny.
Unfortunately, I'm still unable to get in after I've been invited several times, and no go. I'm getting very frustrated because I've been one of the few from what I understand to NOT get in. Kind of ticked off to be honest :/ The problem I think is that I recieve the invites too late.
So far I like it, but as others have mentioned the lack of activity on there so far is the major downside. I personally like the fact that there won't be lots of my friends or family on there, at least at first.
I'm weaning myself off of FB, as I'm pretty sick of social networking (and the drama that people like to cause with it), so I can't say that Google+ is all that interesting to me. The UI is pretty clunky, making it hard to figure out what you want to do.
I'm on it, along with a handful of friends, but I don't think I'll be using it very much.
It still needs some polishing. The UI is a bit confusing, but has potential to be better than FB.
Unless FB catches on and add what G+ has, then there is no point to switch!

Hi guys,
Have you noticed a huge increase in spam apps in the market lately? Apps from developers like Michael Quach, Virtualtechs or Simpaddico, which literally count in the hundreds even though they really are the same app: a list of facts or quotes, with next / back buttons.
Apparently they also batch upload new versions of their apps regularly, just to get them to the top again. I'm getting sick of missing actual, useful apps because every time I check the market I only see these apps. Isn't there something we users can do to get rid of market spammers?
Proabably
There should be a "REPORT" button, right now its not a whole bunch of chronic spammer devies, they can get rid of them right away. BUNCH OF them are just scammers tryin' to make a quick buck.

The problem is, taken independently those apps are not reportable. There is nothing wrong with a facts app, but there is with a developer releasing 100 of them. Yet I cannot report the developer, I can only report the app.
the biggest problem for me is the lack of search options in the market - unbelievable that google could leave it like that - there seems to be no intelligent search, no search by category or dev etc etc etc
Sorting options

Spam their email like they do our market
There does need to be some method whereby Google get notified if one developer uploads more than, say, 5 apps or they upload several at the same time and then someone at google has to physically examine them before they go up. That way these spam apps would be identifed as such and not turn up there.
I guess ultimately this is the price we pay for having an unrestricted market. At the moment it is still worth it to get the kinds of app that Apple would never allow but I think SOME control is needed.
This is where Apple's "managed" Store has it's benefits.
I would love to see a market proxy for rooted phones, allowing various developers and app categories to be removed from view. Regex pattern matching ...
I don't know if it's possible, but it would rock.

Actually, I think these scammers/spammers/out-for-the-money people are NOT the problem...And in fact, they're actually a show of proof of just how open-ended the Android Market is.
The problem is that Google (The Internet Search Superpower) has crappy searching/filtering for their Android Market.

Exactly. The 'legit' devs should be pushing for this as well as it would make it easier for end users to find and buy quality product.
This is the exact reason why my Nexus One sat in its box for a week after receiving it. This is my first Android phone and coming from an Apple OS and a regulated app platform since the 2g was introduced, the marketplace had a very bad first impression with me. My N1 was bone stock and I experienced force closes on stock apps..I felt as if I was beta testing a device that was released too early. It was packed and ready to ship back. Then I decided to take another look and while 95% of the marketplace apps are pure garbage, IMO, the phone itself has its advantages which is why I choose the N1 as choice device as opposed to my 3gs in which I basically use as an ipod "with benefits."
Final thought. If the android market app regulation doesnt improve, it will fall..and it will fall hard.

This is a problem, and I do think Google should priorities this A.S.A.P. As this will discourage most Iphone to Android users. I don't even look in the new tab any more.

Hey guys,
Here are the emails for some of the people responsible for the Samsung FW, as a community it might be worthwhile emailing said peoples and requesting nicely that they go to their higher ups and get the go ahead to fix the FS lag issue (RFS is bad ok!!!) and any other ongoing issues we are having.
If they receive a large amount of "interest", which I think they might, mayhaps they will reconsider rolling out the same polished turd of a system that exists in the 2.2 firmwares.
[email protected] - Madan Ankapura - Samsung Staff Engineer. Goto person for all technical issues related to Android within Samsung and interface for Google in the role of Technical Account Manager-Android.

Let them know about XDA, Voodoo, the problems as we know it, and demand they fix the damn thing! At least we've had a go right?
Good thinking, it's about time this was done...
Hopefully someone can write up a good email... there are too many things to say that I'm not entirely sure I could articulate it...
I hope this doesn't result in them getting flooded with spam, that sure wont help the situation.
I think we should get a nice detailed open letter, that gets sent to them and the tech news sites. Posting it on the news sites should help get more attention to this, if the tech sites don't ignore it.
Sites like Engadget, Phandroid ect.
Nice one! *gets typing*

So you know for absolute certainty that, if enough people ***** and moan very loudly, there's zero chance of Samsung doing anything? Sure the outlook is poor - this is Samsung after all - but that outlook won't change if people just accept that the SGS is slow and that the phone's performance will likely degrade over time because of their ****ty filesystem.
Btw, if the answer to the above question is a resounding 'yes', could I please borrow your crystal ball?
Which android phones have no lag? N1? Desire? What FS do 'they' run?
I still think that the memory management is also important to prevent lag, I have voodoo lag fix 3 installed, yea the quadrant better score from 900++ to 1200++, but i still facing lag here and there. Then later i found this autokiller software, turn on the agressive preset, immediately the phone work smoother, quadrant --> 1700++. So i think beside the file system io important, memory management is very critical as well.

To get high impact, we could encourage some related/regional forums to take part.
So first someone at xda would write the letter, we discuss and maybe improve it, then some of us who are members in those forums translate (if needed) and propose it there.
Well if they won't budge over the improved technical merits of other file systems - I'm not sure if they're as superstitious there as they are in Japan, but it might actually give some weight if needed, to mention you think it's very unlucky to be running the phone on the filesystem of someone convicted of murdering his wife.

I know people might not answer this, but what the hell, you never know.
I'm a programmer; good old fashioned programmer. That's what I do. I've coded in Assembler, PASCAL, RPG II/III, COBOL, C/C++, SQR (a DB language), Easytreive (mainframe), CICS (more mainframe), JCL (mainframe "language"), JAVA and now Android.
Currently unemployed due to crappy market and my location. I've coded a couple of apps and they are on the market selling, albeit slowly.
My problem is, I'm NOT creative LOL IMO, I can code the pants off anything, but I'm just not good at coming up with ideas. I think it's that "left brain, right brain" thing!
Anyone care to throw out some app ideas? Seems like I think of stuff, but it's "been there, done that" on the market. I have my own hosted site and ability to store 10 gigs of database data if that helps.
I'm not interested in doing games or themes or wallpapers (remember, NOT creative!) LOL
I'm new at coding and I have ideas coming out of my ears, so to speak, but I don't have the means (knowledge) to make them a reality. How familiar are you with the android sdk and APIs? I'm kinda new at this, having only released one app into the market. I would like the help of an experienced coder. Check out my website www.fufurinnovations.blogspot.com to see what I'm working on. Thanks in advance
I am looking for an app like Mail Tones for Blackberry that alerts you with a different tones for selected email contacts. By default the notification tone for all incoming emails is just one for all. I tried Mail Alerts but it is very unreliable. Maybe you like this idea? This is a very helpful app in BB since it lets you know when an important email comes up without looking at the screen. Weird that there is only one app in the Market and it just doesn't work.
And what about another app like a camera add-on that lets you level all your pictures using the inclinometer and allows you to take pictures having always the horizon line leveled.

I need, and many android users will agree, that sms messages do not need to be kept forever. I want an app, an addon, an alteration whatever that deletes old messages up to a set time period... 7 days, 14 days, 31 days etc.
If I had a text from o2 highlighting the fab new offers I ignore it and 30 days later its automatically deleted!

I actually thought that the app called Theodolite was going to do this but it was actually a triangulation app. In any case, it comes with an inclinometer that allows you to measure the angle of the camera in x and y. It has a measurement of angles kind of like the vision from Terminator, very cool, but then if you take the picture, those measuring things stay in the picture and the picture itself comes out at a lower resolution so it is not really a photography app, its a measurement app. It could be cool to have a bip once you get the camera/phone leveled with the horizon line.
Cameras nowadays don't come with this feature? You can then sell them the program...

WOW! Thanks to all the repliers (is that a word? LOL). Oh my, there's an idea right there for my database space...a dictionary or thesarus!
Some very, very good ideas out there and I DO appreciate them very much. I can definitely see 2 or 3 apps that I can start working on.
Keep the ideas coming and I'll get my fingers going on development of some of the replies up to this point.

Yes, I guess I should have mentioned that ...my bad.
Of course I would be willing to split profits on a joint-effort project. And, I'm terrible with graphics design and the like. And sometimes, the user interface can make or break the applications (people like "Wow, cool" or flashy app interfaces).
I'm more of a "meat and potatoes" guy; input your data, get info back LOL

Pulled yesterday the update from the network with the famous trick.
I have been plying around since then and wanna share my thoughts.
Gmail push mail is working but with a huge dealy comparing it with android or iOs mail delivering. Slow
Multitasking is working only with MS app, not third party. Maybe the apps are not upadated yet but... it sucks at the moment
Social network integration is good with facebook but very complicated to use, not intuitive. Twitter is not supported and the twitter app just plain sucks... no background tweet pull neither push. A mess
Live tiles are nice but daily briefing stays static
Do not know about battery usage
Bing music search is nice but it would be nicer with the possibility of downloading songs directly
I like marketplace, fewr apps than competitor but overall good quality
IT MISS A FAST DIAL OPTION... this is an epic fail... there is no smart dialing too... so calling someone who is not in the start screen takes like 6 or 7 click. fail
If this update eas released one year ago it would be good and efficent... comparing my mango omnia7 with my sammy sgs2 is like stealing sweets to a kid...

How is having two "apps" to switch too Witch is identical? And when your in marketplace, going deeper into "related" and I want to search..where is the button? I have to hit back a zillion times before it appears? Oh no wait I have a actual button on my phone for that..lets press that..BING wtf?

not sure about whether there is a delay in gmail, tried that and i do not notice any delay in receiving mail/sending mail via gmail.
what do you mean by third party app? can give some example so that i can try it myself? i take Whatsapp as an example, i have no issue running this app (multi-tasking), games, or whatsoever.
regarding FB, i think its individual experience. some may find it complicated / not user friendly some may find it very nice. i personally find it OK, not the best neither very good. never try twitter, hence no comment on this.
whether all tiles are "live" or not i think it doesn't really matter, of course if all tiles are "live" that would be good to have. i find battery usage on Mango is damn good, way better than iPhone or most of the android devices.
agreed with you that without smart dialing is an epic failure. i believe everybody is complaining about this and hope that it will be addressed in next release (Tango)
let's not "conclude" that Mango is a "failure" release, knowing that there are a lot of so call fundamental features supposed to be in but it weren't. Give microsoft a chance and see what they have in Tango or Apollo.

Maybe you should learn basic education. And stop acting like a little n00b. I posted my personal review as anybody is free to do. You didn't like it, all right. But please let other ppl express their minds without the "you didn't understand how to use your phone" or "go play with super mario". That is so stupid. Even for you.
Hope to not hear anything more from you.

First off, stop telling me what to do.second, I bought omnia 7 because I was unhappy with my galaxy s2. If the case is that we are just noobs that doesn't know how to use the phone, why can't you enlighten us? I would be thrilled if you could make me enjoy my phone. Either that or shut your mouth and let other people have a different opinion.

Ladies and Gentlemen, thanks in most to you and the XDA Community ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28984095#post28984095 ) I PRESENT TO YOU...
THE WORST APPLICATION AWARD WINNER IS......
THE FACEBOOK APP!
Why you may ask when compared to some other poor apps? Well here is my reasoning and I would love the hear yours
The Facebook Application for Android has been around for a very very long time now, since at LEAST Android 2.0 and through all this time Facebook and Android have been advancing with more functions and features at a faster rate then we can keep up to. Facebook claims to have some of thee best programmers and coders to offer, yet they problem is instead of fixing the issues on their applications and website they look over these and add new features, and break or "rethink" old ones. There once was a time when Facebook chat was reliable, and when people could easily understand how things worked yet now? Facebook is slowly becoming a mess.
I don't mean to say I hate Facebook, because though it isn't the best (or better then Google+) it is still decent and mostly enjoyable on a computer. The phone app however? It has seriously pained me to use. Back when I didn't know about alternate apps for Facebook, I would often AVOID checking and updating my Facebook thinking "OH I SHOULD SHARE THAT PICTURE.... But wait that'll take forever.... nevermind".
Facebook should think more about this issue... and they should take all their employees and tell them "Work on the website ALONE" then Facebook should come over to XDA Developers, and hire some very talented, and smart app developers, who are UP TO DATE on Androids features, and make a application that you should expect from a multi-billion dollar company.
What do you guys think? Any bad stories from the app? Do you think it will ever get better??
(PS: I know worse apps exist in the market and online, but this is partly a joke, but most importantly is that Facebook is a massive social network that should have MUCH better an app)
The app sucks I agree

Used to go on Facebook a lot on iOS. But then when I moved to android and saw that Facebook was a joke I pretty much stopped checking it.

I use friend stream from sense... The Facebook app use 35mb of ram when used...
I use Flipboard instead.
(I seldom post on Facebook)
FACEBOOK SUCKS!!! It is one of the worst apps ever! with so much cash, fb is really lazy at coding apps, check out Google+, much better experience.
Yep! Facebook app totally sucks. I used friendcaster a lot, its good n very fast but now I left facebook permanently bcoz of awesome google+ app
The Google+ app just blows the Facebook one out of the water, shame people haven't learnt how good of a social network Google+ is. Facebook would end up like Myspace and Bebo if people weren't so scared of change.
I agree
They should just buy out Friendcaster and make it their offical app...
The only problem with 3rd party apps is you don't have access to friend's posts who have their privacy settings set up differently. They won't show up in your news feed. The mobile site OK, but still kinda sucks in terms of use. The reply box has become extremely buggy,never autocompletes words, capitalizes Is or makes contractions properly. It's a friggin joke, and I can only imagine how awful the app is by the responses given in this thread. I've heard the iOS one isn't too great, either. I think part of the problem is they are too focused on the desktop experience due to ads and a bunch of other stuff(half the time it doesn't load my feed properly on Chrome). I've started browsing G+ which seems to have improved greatly since I got the original invite. Sucks more of my friends aren't on it. Now I just use FB to coordinate events with people. haha.

They changed and many migrated to FB. It just seems whatever is trendy at the time is what people go for. A lot of people don't even know what G+ is, sadly. They're pushing a few commercials here and there and I know a TON of people have GMail accounts, but barely know how to navigate through the menus to find it, even though it's right there in the corner. Only time will tell, I suppose.

I'm glad i found this thread..been suffering with the Facebook app for ages but couldn't find any good alternative. But Flipboard is awesome! Also using it for Instagram and some news sites i like..very nice UI on that app as well.
Uninstalling Facebook app!
