    Got my very first update just now (ever) On Three here if anyone's interested. Was hoping to get slide brightness but I don't think it came in this one. On version 4.0.4. Is slide brightness on at default or off?

    If you're referring to the link I put up, that's the stock ICS keyboard so it should be good enough
    Thanks.
    I think I'll revert to the Samsung keyboard for my more important passwords (banking, etc.).

    Had the same problem with the twitter and facebook app after installing the update. Just deleted and re-installed. Working better now as I was having problems with the pics syncing to the contacts before update. All good now. :D

    It caused problems with Facebook and witter future me so I just updated them. I haven't had the problem with the rather useful swipe type.

    I'm always very anxious if system updates. I kinda updated the android version on many old HTC sensation when it was due. Caused all sorts of nuisance.


    Grrrrr

    Have taken a punt on this car holder.

    €4.82! Worth a shot.

    Don't get it if you're in a rush though. Free shipping is great but it can take up to a month with dealextreme.

    Red is exclusive to one carrier in the US.
    Anyone know if it will be available in any different colours soon?I was going to buy one but am not too fond of the colours available at the moment.

    I have noticed since the update yesterday when i get a txt msg i can only access it from the notification bar rather than the app on the home screen, just does not respond, maybe a reboot is required.

    The 3 update is firmware version XXALF6. It doesn't effect the network lock, seems to have fixed the home screen redraw delay!

    Does anyone ever have a problem with the Facebook app I can never tag anyone in posts it says content too large


  • Registered Users Posts: 695 ✭✭✭TheSpecialOne


    Well lads, was with a friend last night who has an S3 aswell and he was showing me how to download paid apps for free and how to run them without having got them via the market. I was just wondering do many of ye do this? and would this change in setting void my contract or anything?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,014 ✭✭✭elderlemon


    Its called piracy and I doubt you'll get much help from anyone here. The apps are not expensive - why not just pay for them?

    If you read my post i clearly stated he just showed me, i posted here then to get feedback on this, while i appreciate your feedback theres really no need for such a crappy response. I have paid for every app on my phone, i didn't even know until last night that you could do it any other way!

    What feedback did you expect.? Obviously he is downloading illegal copies

    Well apart from being just wrong (it's not like the apps cost the earth or anything) if the apps are not coming from the android market but some other back ally one then I would be very carful. That is how many people got infected phones... Just something to consider.

    If you think there is a bit of lag try Settings-> developer options-> and Window animation scale and Transition Animation scale -> change both of those to 0.5x (or 0 for both, for instant reactions). The phone now runs like the beast it was born to be.

    I think it makes a huge difference
