Re: Android Thread: Phones / Apps / Mods

Guys need help please. I was using Tubemate in my S3 since last year with excellent results, however recently started facing issues with videos not getting downloaded. There was a new version available hence did and upgrade. Now videos are downloading but not in HD. They only show options for non HD. Whats missing here?

Re: Android Thread: Phones / Apps / Mods

Is something wrong with Tweetdeck? It doesn't seem to refresh on my S3 today!
Edit: saw some tweets that Tweetdeck is dead !

Any other recommended Twitter app for S3?

Falcon Pro, now that it is free. Although a bit tricky to get it working, it is well worth it.

getfalcon.pro

Re: Android Thread: Phones / Apps / Mods

@Ram, sticky situation that - one I am in, still

Xperia L looks just right, but the pic quality is what is stopping me. Just because I want good pic quality, I have looked up to the Xperia SP, but Sony seems to fail again there too. Sony does not seem to have anything even upto 25k, for our requirements .. and I havent checked higher models.

I had recently checked with a neighbor who works for LG. He said Samsung is ok, but build quality is not as good as a Sony. LG is behind both.

I am stuck like you are :(

Do you mean to say that even the Z isnt good ?

Regarding phones with good pic quality, the images from even a 5MP iPhone 4 are said to be good. This one is about 24-25k.
8MP in iPhone means crossing the 30k mark, which I dont want to do.

Yeap, i dont see much difference between my wife's N8 and my Z. Sometimes, Z is even bad. I dont use any settings, I just use the auto superior mode. The camera and speaker are the only gripe in otherwise wonderful phone which survived many bath tub and juice + milk spillage of my toddlers.

Slightly OT, I dont think any of the other models /phones - including the L, are liquid proof. Hope you have considered this while doing the shortlist.

Stretch the budget a shade more to 30K for the lesser known Sony ZL. I have been using it for over 2 months and barring a tiny software glitch, the phone is simply awesome.
