Pulse broken on update?

Just noticed Pulse no longer opens panes in the Honeycomb fashion after update to 3.0.1, opens like on a phone. Anyone else have this problem?

Same issue here.

same for me, no more fancy landscape layout

Everything is still the same on mine.

Mine changed to.
It still works in landscape and when I touch an article it shifts the whole feed down, and displays the article on top of the feed.
I actually like it better.

I hate the new setup. I liked having the side by side panes.

Ditto. I doubt this was intentional. But want the layout back to the it was before.

Yep, same problem. Did the update break something with fragment handling?

Pulse was updated today in the Market and it seems to be worlds improved.

I seem to be getting repeated force closes with the updated version of Pulse. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Yep, update fixed the problem!

Much better.
OT: Kinda wish I hadn't updated it on my lunch hour though. Now I know that the fuel rods are melting down in 3 of the reactors at Fukushima. *sigh*

Hey bud this is the same guy who made LauncherPro. He's got some serious skills!

He definitely does... I wonder if Microsoft would come after him for it though. Possible lawsuit?

This is slick. I have a Zune and love it. This looks great.
Thunderbolt says end of line.

Fede should have put more into the LauncherPro "rewrite" he promised some months ago. Guess that will never happen.

Damn this works good.

Thank you!!!

i don't believe so, PowerAMP loads up my FLAC files but this isn't picking it up at all =(

Word, there are several decent music apps out there but not enough quality launchers

I have been using this since yesterday and it really does rock. I know what you mean about the lack of rewriting on LP, but I do like this player.
Thunderbolt says end of line.

The only thing I'm not understanding in this app is when you have already played a song, where is the "now playing" button or screen? I can only access it from the notification bar right now. Am I missing something?

It's definitely missing a lot of things, like a settings menu for example.. I'm not sure if he ported software files straight off of the zune and tweaked it a bit or built it from the ground up.. but its still a beta and hopefully more options to come soon from him... amazing work

I guess if better download now before it gets taken off. Thanks!

I installed it and.when i open it i keep getting force close.

New keyboard to race or rant about

To paraphrase:
SwimDrewid said:
I have used swype, swiftkey, t9, better keyboard, even that ridiculous rotary keyboard.
I am a keyboard geek (among other flavors of geek).
I gotta say, A.I. Type keyboard (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.aitype.android) is simply amazing.
It seems smarter than swiftkey and is completely customizable. (Background images, colors, layout, even keyboard type (iphone, windows 7, gingerbread among others).

My keyboard of choice right now,,,
Is TouchPal Curve. Was lucky enough to get my hands on the beta and have been loving it every since.
Gonna give the one you mentioned a try, never know if its better for me till I check it out.

Twas not lucky enough roger the curve invite. But widget t9 AND swype for free from amazon. (Free is my favorite color :-D)

I like this new keyboard! I'm not a fan of the swyping technology even though I have touchpal curve.
This keyboard's service runs 22 MB though! Don't know if that's normal but that seems like it may drain battery.

That's why I just stick with a stock Gingerbread keyboard. As much as I love these "Smart" keyboards, they eat up so much battery.

After reading various reviews about this keyboard, i've decided to stay away from it. Some users have reported huge battery drains. Aside from this, it appears that every keystroke is uploaded to the developer's cloud server, with no explanation given. Sounds like a keylogger to me.

I also was able to get a beta copy of this TouchPal keyboard, but for some reason it conflicted with my hardware keyboard by disabling my shift and "secodary yellow" button :\ and since I'm a big keyboard user, that was my only reason to uninstall that keyboard. I'll admit, it seems better than swype, but again, I use my hardware keyboard 75% of the time n I kinda can't live without my shift and yellow keys

Used this last weekend during the games. Great app design and awesome for keeping up with player stats during the game. Only issue was that the app updates live stats slowly. It does not appear to be real time stats. There is an update interval of about 15 minutes I think.

I just downloaded the app and will definitely use it on sunday. Props to the dev, it's doing some pretty impressive things with the platform.

If they can add the option to make the updates faster, then it would be alot better, other than that its a really good app.

It looks like a good app but it force closes right after the splash screen. Any ideas why?

OK mine was working great and then it suddenly started FC'ing and getting timeouts. They must be having issues with the server.

Yep appears as though server is down. The lack of connection is causing force closes.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

bummer, it looks to still be down, what a shame.

Have you disabled all the bells and whistles?

Mainly I did it for simplified use and less memory and CPU usage. Granted it's a pretty boring phone that way but I didn't get the phone because of the software extras.

Disabled everything but Air View cause it's the bomb!

I haven't disabled anything. I upgraded to this phone because of those features, if I wanted to run without them there are much less expensive options available.
The only feature I have no use for and will probably never use is the IR capability.

I turn them on as needed, but I disable them immediately. I signed a new contract and didn't see why I wouldn't get the latest and greatest. There almost all situational tho

I leave them on and still battery lasts all day. Those are some of the things that set this phone apart from the S3 and other phones so just makes sense to get use of them.

I run and use every feature of this phone! I haven't even installed a custom rom yet because I don't want someone else to dictate which features I can use. I am rooted and have almost all the mods that work on stock odexed installed and my phone lasts from 6:00am to 11:00pm everyday with room to spare. Why limit such a powerful device by turning off what makes this phone great. Here are the mods I have installed: hotspot mod, 4 in 1 boot, Nottach Exposed, N7 Ported animations, S4 PRL write mod, and international S4 boot animation. I haven't gone with a custom kernel but that is my next step. I came from the HTC Evo LTE and love the stock feel. I was a MeanBean fan because Mikeyxda never compromised the stock feel of the phone but added tons of tweaks and mods to make the phone fly. When the 3.0 version of the Team Sonic FreeGS4 rom drops I will probably install it since clark44 seems to have the same philosophy as Mikeyxda. I just want to play with my phone a little more before I go the custom route.

All of them. There finicky. The ir is so handy I control all 3 TVs DVR DVD players in my house. Plus messing with ever TV I find! Burger king menus was the best!

Sorry I did forget about the Ir blaster. I do love this and use it daily at home or messing with tvs everywhere. Love having all 3 tvs and dvr/dvd ect at home all working as good as the remote. I was basically talking about smart scroll and some hand gestures are pretty useless.

Smart rotation is actually a pretty useful feature if you ever use your phone while in bed. I also have smart stay on as well as air jump and air move. The rest I can live without. The IR beam is pretty useful as well. ..

Most of the features are situational for me as well. The IR blaster comes in handy as does some of the gesture stuff. That's about it. (will try IR on restaurant tv's sometime :laugh: )
