@DanHulme yeah that's been annoying me since it rolled out a couple of weeks now, it also doesn't seem to highlight which permissions have actually changed any more like it used to. Just shows them all with no sign of which ones were existing and which changed
@DanHulme The most obvious times were when you submitted suggested edits yourself (eg when you edit a Tag Wiki). I can remember it showing the counter up there for the edits that I'd made, but when I clicked through to the queue there were none that I could authorise
@StackExchange Anyone know why the OP deleted this question before anyone had a chance to respond to it? Looks like that sort of thing could be a useful resource for people doing device comparisons etc
Your best option might be to import one from the US (probably via an ebay seller or something like that) but make sure you check that it's not sim-locked and that it supports the GSM/3G frequencies that your provider over here uses
The last time I saw a half-decent keyboard Android in the UK was the SE Xperia Pro sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/xperia-pro but that's a couple of years old now. There've been a couple of budget phones with half of the front taken up with the keyboard (instead of it sliding from underneath) but they're often cheap and low-spec aimed at teenagers doing a lot of texting
@Izzy I'm getting the one above now with a screenshot of the app showing up in ads on AE now, instead the strange one with some man threatening us with a clenched fist that they were using befoer.
The Gingerbread SDK is rumored to get released on November 11. Shortly thereafter I expect there will be a flood of questions "when will {phone X} get Android 2.3?" We're still getting questions like that for Froyo.
My idea is to have one Community Wiki question: "When will my phone get Android ...
@geffchang Don't know where he got the name from, but I think Al started the "When will my device get..." posts just as a reaction to the huge number of "Google just announced Android X.X, why haven't I got it yet?" we used to get after every announcement!
@AvinashRaj Sorry to hear that. You don't mention what exactly you need help with, but have you had a look through our Lost Phone tag to see if there's anything there that can help you? android.stackexchange.com/tags/lost-phone/info
Bizarre, just starts listing a few (common and VERY obscure) apps that are safe to remove, that list seems like it would be a lot of work to keep up to date! android.stackexchange.com/a/64239/156
@DanHulme hmmm that's not a bad idea, might have a look. Though I wonder what they do about when you're sleeping somewhere else for the night and don't have the tag with you to disable the alarm in the morning?
@DanHulme I use two separate physical alarms for that, one by my bed that I can snooze without really waking up and one by the bedroom door set a few minutes later that I can't turn off without waking myself up!
I had a friend who used to write mobile games for one of the fairly big names in that space, he learnt very quickly never to admit this at parties. Everyone has an idea for the next big hit mobile game sensation that's guaranteed to be an overnight success and make millions, almost none of them are able (or willing) to do any of the work after having the idea. He found saying he was a programmer for a big corporation (which was strictly true) meant he enjoyed social gatherings much more
Busy day at work, just catching up now. That answer android.stackexchange.com/a/63996/156 would be massively improved by deleting everything before "How to Set Update methods for the Play Store" which is when the info that's actually useful to the OP starts
What is the current status / change in the problem of internal memory limits of android phones in the last 2-4 years? Is it still a problem, or was it sort-of-solved in software, or was it sort-of-solved in hardware (by much larger internal storage)?
Assume that I haven't actively used any more ...
Is this question asking about the Android storage changes between 2.x and 4.x (where all internal storage is a big storage pool that can be used for apps or data now, but back in 2.x it was partitioned so that one bit was only for app installs and one bit was only for user data, and HTC always made the app partition tiny)
But trying to send an SMS to someone in Hangouts without accidentally adding them to a G+ Circle, or sending a G+ message though is really annoying, unless you've already started an SMS conversation with them
The dialler on Kit Kat doesn't really show a contacts list it shows a list of favourite contacts, and contacts recent calls in/out. It looks like quite a different list than the People app, it never even occurred to me that it might be confusing
Well I made a smaller edit than I originally planned, but hopefully now the useful bit where he gives a direct answer to the question is nearer the top, and all the ranty bit has been removed/toned down android.stackexchange.com/a/63684/156
@DanHulme yeah, I know there's other answers saying this probably wouldn't work, but he's the only one who claims he's actually tried it "I have tried this, ... and sadly the remote wipe DOES not work if you change your password before the phone gets chance to receive the wipe command", the others seem to just be guessing
So do we think this user will have a fit if I delete out his first 4 paragraphs, and the last one, and then edit the rants out of what's left? As it looks like he actually has an answer buried in there... android.stackexchange.com/a/63684/156
I am ashamed. My Meta rep has recently surpassed my SO rep. Even putting a (relevant!) Shakespeare quote into an answer on SO couldn't do anything about it.
That's why I looked for one of my old Meta questions to put a bounty on; I chose this one.
I will give the bounty to the best idea/solutio...
@eldarerathis Would be nice if SE let you diff between two arbitrary versions (like Wikipedia does), rather than just two consecutive versions. Would make this sort of thing where there's a batch of changes much easier to check
android.stackexchange.com/questions/63508 wow, I'm no Java programmer but even I can read the helpful line in the error log that says to check your manifest, compare that to his manifest, and spot his problem
Downvote seems harsh, I know he's mentioned the word "application" but it is a very specific task he's looking for, and only a very slight change would be needed to make it a "I'm looking for a way to..."

I thought of developing an app for Women's safety. Kindly contribute your thoughts.
