Lol a friend tried play store on my phone, and he still has market, he said it is running better, but actually that is because he is one of those guys who prefer to add an app instead of a bookmark... 200 apps lol

Does it work without Gapps?

lol, Google Play is a part of GAPPS now..
So until someone prepares a new GAPPS pack, you flash GAPPS and let the market update itself to play

Thanx
A bit weird though. A couple of days ago they let me download smart office 2. Which I did. Now they only offer smart office 1 and Polaris.
It pays off to watch all Samsung offers closely and regularly. They sometimes make games and apps available for a couple of hours. Most is crap but some are gems.
Thanx for the heads up

where's more service?

I'm not satisfied with po4 because it can't edit files on my gdrive. It open in read only. Other suite can edit this. Doc files.
Do you noticed it?

Check it's not opening with Polaris viewer. perhaps u need to clear defaults on viewer app.

No I don't have a default app for. Doc. I choose time to time.
Try this: upload a .Doc file on your gdrive and then try to open it directly in gdrive app: if you do that with polaris (not viewer) it say "read only" and you can't edit files. With office suite pro in can do that!
Can you verify this behavior of your phone with polaris 4.0?
Thank you

I use kingsoft office. Is this polaris a better option for the galaxy s3?

Why not download it and give it a try, it is free after all. It seems pretty comprehensive to me, but like all apps of this type on a phone, it's only really useful for small edits (unless you have your phone linked to an HD display and are using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse).
Still waiting for my MHL cable, so will give it a try then with the set up mentioned above and report back here (if I can remember...lol)

the version that came with LFb is higher than that is available on "more services"

Yeah, but just one thing, not everything is bloat, and blocking it is sometimes, or most times becomes an obsession rather than necessity.

Nope it doesn't free up memory. It's still there but unusable. Btw this option has been available in android since ICS, nothing new.

It's a $16 app that you are getting for free. It's pretty smooth for all the features it's offering.
You might want to make a backup cos it won't be linked to your Google account,meaning you won't be able to get full version if you install this on a different device.
If your bloatware radar kicked up, you can always install it. No big deal.

[REQUEST] Tapatalk version before the major change

As many of you probably know, the new version of Tapatalk is a hot mess. I wish I've read the comments before upgrading.
Anyone happen to have the apk of the version prior to the major change in the UI and functionality?

I'll dig around in all my backups.
There are so many issues with the update:
1. The app is now ad-supported, but it's free! I paid for the app so I wouldn't see ads.
2. Forum navigation is cumbersome. Why would you force users to tap the most difficult spot to navigate?
3. Everything I load XDA, the "failed to connect to forum" toast pops up. I believe that renders the mark forum as read button useless.
4. 2 start new topic buttons while the mark as read button is hidden in a menu.
5. Color scheme.
6. There's no way to sort your subscribed subforums.
7. What's with the collage at the top once you connect to a forum? All that does is force users to scroll just to see what they want.
8. I could go on by I've got better things to do.

Yeah, it's a complete disaster. Check the attachment, that's version 4.9.5, right before the major UI redesign.
Anyway it just got updated to version 4.10.1.

^ Thanks!
I also paid for the Pro version. The strange thing is that out of the blue (about 2 weeks ago), the Pro version won't allow attachment uploads. It displayed a message to download the version from the Play Store and logging in with a Tapatalk ID to have that functionality and also (coincidentally?) the app force closes every time it's opened shortly after.
That pretty much made me install the version from the Play Store. I smell something is going on to force the current users to download the current ad version. I don't think it is fair for the ones that paid to get rid of the ads.

AFAIK there's no pro version anymore. The one attached is the free version, the one and only version of Tapatalk that's in the play store.

I know, haven't updated the app in over a year. It worked fine which is why I never upgraded.

I downloaded the apk but it won't let me install. When I tap on "Install" nothing happens, I could only tap on "Cancel"

I believe I saw it in a drop-down menu somewhere. But I'd gone back to Tapatalk Pro temporarily so I don't have it handy to check.

I've also gone back to the Pro version. It is so much better without all the unnecessary bloat.
