Google did not deliver it. I waited for around a month. Was getting bored tonight and got some help on Google Plus. Went ahead with the manual process using the official build. Took me less than 15 minutes to get it updated. And it seems to be doing great.
I have had a couple of disappointments. But overall, it is a much much better experience compared to Gingerbread.
Seriously loving the ability to take screenshot on my phone!
I have been complaining about Opera for a long time now about how they removed a feature that I loved and used multiple times on a daily basis.
Google Chrome has done the same. Google Chrome 16 removed the optional parameter I could use to get back the old ‘new tab page’.
So basically, I am stuck with the ‘new tab page’ which has pretty awful UI for accessing the recently closed web pages.
I hate this small option at the bottom right of the screen. I wished Google had made a dedicated page for it just like they have for bookmarks, most visited pages and web apps.
People in India have moved on. Orkut is no longer relevant even here. Please replace the Orkut button with Twitter!
I decided to format my phone today because it had become terribly slow.
Ironic. Isn’t it? Android is pretty much like Windows when it comes to performance.
In any case, I think the only data I lost in the process were the text messages. Apart from that, almost everything else was backed up in the cloud.
I had the option of backing up texts using a third party app. decided against it. But still. There must be a good reason why Google is not offering cloud backup of text messages!
This is the first time I am noticing an ad below the email message. I have noticed it on newer mail accounts. My Gmail experience is ruined now.
Google announced it today and delivered it today as well. Awesome.
And it sucks.
Ok. It does most of the basic things. Like taking images. Uploading it to your Flickr account.
It also has filters! Yawn.
It can also post images to other social networks like Twitter, Facebook and even Tumblr.
But it does not do a lot of things.
It cannot sync the photos on the phone with my Flickr account. This was the most basic feature this app should have offered.
It does not even seem to follow my upload settings! Photo uploads were labeled as public when the default setting in my account is private.
The photo taking process is painfully slow. The app tries to mimic Apple iPhone’s camera which I think is horrible.
If you played around with this app… What do you think about it?
At least it was smart enough to see that Chrome was already installed on my machine!
