Nah it's alright, I believe you.

I'd like to see the screenie. See where I'm being dumb.

I will post it just for you mousey then. The rest of you - close your eyes when you see it.

[KillerByte]

haha, busy on XDA getting all the files I need to root and flash my Optimus Black.

I will bookmark the link for when my Xperia Play comes back from SE.

Now I must remember to check this thread regulary.

[Tribble]

Yes you must It will remind me this afternoon. I now have AppBrain wanting me to update but I refused as I want to show you the stock program asking You do realise what a sacrifice this is right mousey? I now have vital programs I am not updating What if I miss something

Ignore me - I am losing it This is what happens when no one plays with me in the Spam thread.

[Stuart]

We've tried ignoring you, and yet you still somehow managed 80k posts.

[Tribble]

Then I can hardly be to blame - and fyi it is only 70k something.

[RuadRauFlessa]

As close to 80k as makes no difference

[Anakha56]

Stu I have a screenshot for you, just need to get time to upload...

[Anakha56]

Next to "Updates" it says "Update 4" pressing that will update all 4 apps that need updating.

[Stuart]

Hmm, mine doesn't have that. Unless it's only because I've had two updates max so far. Perhaps I need to do some searching and see if I need to enable settings somewhere.

[Anakha56]

Unless they are manual updates because of permission changes you should get that option. I have not changed anything in my market settings...

[Stuart]

Ah, maybe that's it. I think all my multiple updates so far have been manual updates. Which is something we don't experience with iOS. All updates there can be performed with a single "update all" button (and subsequent entry of your Apple ID Password).

[Anakha56]

Thats one thing I love about Android. If a app changes the way it works say it now wants to access your contacts, you will have to do a manual update where it will show the change in permissions. Apple is currently coming under fire for loopholes and the way permissions work on their system...

[Stuart]

Contact syncing is also starting to irritate me. I have my personal Gmail account and then we use Google Apps for our work email too. I set both accounts to sync email and contacts with my phone, but now if I update a contact somewhere it only updates it on one of my email addresses, and then on my phone creates two contacts and links them, with both the updated and the outdated information. For now, I've switched off syncing to my personal Gmail address contacts.

[Anakha56]

Yeah on ICS that problem becomes a real pain . I am going to spend Sunday evening cleaning up my contacts, hopefully after this cleanup it will work properly...

[Tribble]

See I am too late

[Stuart]

Indeed, have you done a pregnancy test?

[Tribble]

I would run so far away - you have no idea

I also need to sit down and fix up my contact list. Facebook, Google and Twitter have all meshed together but it means that my google contacts aren't completely accurate. So will have to fix that this afternoon.

Android apps can access your smartphone's photos too

[KillerByte]

need a seamless method of exporting Facebook contacts so I can merge them with Google.
