App lock. Pretty good app.

You can switch the pin lock on for all apps individually.

You also got options to like pin protect installing/deinstalling programms and some other nice features.

Yeah, me too. I can see how it is useful for some folks, but for me I am happy without it. Ditched my OtterBox and film screen protector as well.

I've searched this thread a bit and didn't find anything on this, so apologies if it's already been discussed...

Just picked up a new Nexus 7 and curious - what's the best android poker tournament clock? I liked "Ultimate Hold'Em Timer" on my phone, but it's clearly designed for phones. It runs on the tablet, but it doesn't make use of the increased size very well at all, and the timer is fairly small in the middle of the screen with tons of unused space. Anything good out there?

Shortcuts scroll in/out left and right when you tap the different buttons. Agenda highlights current day stuff, grayed out for future days. (lol daughter's activities) Image is a weather icon based on current condition.

biggest annoyance I have with Google is with Google Music - my albums just won't display right. to begin with I hate the 2 column display

still it would be manageable if it worked. my columns are currently:

It's Blitz - Yeah Yeah Yeahs The District Sleeps...The Postal Service
Kicking Television - Wilco Fever to Tell - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
(another Wilco) (Another Wilco)
Show Your Bones - Yeah Yeah Yeas You in Reverse Built to Spill

something is screwy with the labeling but no other music player has screwed this up

Does anyone have a suggestion for a combo cell phone case /wallet? I have a galaxy s3. Tired of costanza-ing it with my giant wallet, and would love to only think about having to keep up with one item. Fwiw I am a guy and would rather not have a hello kitty design

Time/date and agenda items are Zooper Widget, weather stuff and battery bar are UCCW. The buttons are part of the wallpaper - there are 5 different homescreens each with a different version of the wallpaper for the appropriate button. Using sslauncher which to my knowledge is the only launcher which lets you pin the widgets so they don't move when you switch to the different screens. Transparent sslauncher shortcuts to each homescreen are placed over the buttons.

Get a beza money clips not quite what you are asking for, but it certainly solves the big wallet problem

Anyone seen keyboard freeze issues with the Nexus 7? Started seeing them today in Hipchat (which is beta) on a week wi-fi network, which probably combine to explain the problem actually...

Is that in the Listen Now section? That section will list the newest music interactions first, including what you listened to, what you have uploaded and what you have bought or pinned to your library in all access.

Search is really solid on it so just ignore how it is ordering albums and use that function. Or you can slide out the menu and go to library which is sorted by artist and should work fine.

My biggest peev with it is how it just slapped something like 15 albums all called "best of" together regardless of the name of the artist, but when you search by artist and see the listing of "best of" and click into it it still shows every single other artist's music in there.

Sure now I have all access I can fix it with a bit of effort but its a really dumb way the downloadable program has uploaded all my music and I cannot find a way to resort by artist then album title to separate them out.

Another problem is it is terrible at working out music genres. One band is spread across three or four categories and I saw some really poppy stuff under punk. It makes that entire part of the app useless.

Hahaha, I'm an idiot, and so happy. Just looked at SwiftKey settings for the first time and found the arrow option.

wowwwwww did AT&T change their upgrade frequency from 18 months to 24 for anyone else? I bought my Note 2 in November and at the time it was an 18 month upgrade policy, meaning June of 2014 I'd be able to get a new phone at the most discounted price.

I just glanced at my policy online and now it says I may be eligible for a full upgrade in November.

Wicked rustled.

This happened in June. Lame. I guess I don't have to renew. Do any flagships come out in the summer anyways?

seems weird that it would be retroactive and not just for newly signed contracts. i think VZW did the same. i'm going to be pissed if i have to wait until January now to upgrade instead of october.

edit: yep, **** me i cant upgrade until jan now.

weird, I always thought it was a "2 year" policy, but they let you upgrade at 21 months

Just bought the S4 off Ebay without knowing that they AT&T released an OTA update in July that patched up the exploits everyone was using to root and install custom recovery. Phone is basically locked down completely. Asked AT&T employees if they could exchange it for one without the update and they said they all ship with the update. Being a touchjizz hater I basically have a $500 paperweight.

Same thing with Verizon's S4. There's a looooong thread on xda-developers.com where a ton of $$ has been pledged to whomever can find an exploit to get around it (with a bigger bounty to anyone who can unlock the bootloader)...they're starting to get very pessimistic about it, though.

Sounds like going forward, anyone who wants to do what they want with their phone needs to either shell out extra cash for a developer's version, or find a carrier that doesn't lock everything down "for your protection".
