So its like a mirror reflective from the back camera to your face? Pretty clever I say.

They haven't release it yet they call it onemoreface, I think they are still in the state of building it maybe a few more months hopefully january and when they finally release it hopefully its compatible with G2. This addon will solved my issues regarding my constant use of video call :happy:excited:

I'd buy it. Never video call, but still cool to have.

Plus it's a 5MP front camera

Now that's a spicy meatball!!! LOL!

I cant find any information about the release date or where we can buy it .
the name "one more face" doesnt make searching for it easier .lol
All i found is, it can be a key ring .

i literally just spit my drink out reading this, lol. thanks
on topic tho, i would probably buy it just to try it, lol.

HeHe, I almost fell off my chair............5 MPXs too........................tks MacMax!

I want one lol cant wait til they're released

I Hope this will get released soon and for a few different models other then the Nexus One in the picture, I will buy at least two one for my Nexus the other for the HTC Desire Z , but I got a funny feeling that by the time this rolls out it might be to late, within the next six months most smart phones will all have what Nokia has been doing for years, front face cameras, then this gadget will be to late.
my $0.02 cents

It would be too late if in six months everyone ditches their phone for one with an ffc. Ill have my g2 longer than that. And I don't know why it would take 6 months to release two mirrors that mount to the top of your phone. You could ?ake this for yourself right now it looks like.
That said ill buy one if it comes out

[APP] Working Swype

I woke up to jack hammers in my basement this morning so I wasn't in the greatest of moods. Now that I've had my coffee...
party on Wayne
MOD EDIT: Link removed
Updated June 20th
Completely revamped Swype, hopefully this doesn't need installer but anyways we no longer need hacked Note versions.
MOD EDIT: Link removed
Thanks to Scrosler for pointing out the update. Would have never noticed till I read Android Central lol
*root users*
I noticed that Swype has some shady permissions such as call log monitoring and some other funky business. Anyways if you don't like Swype constantly knowing what you're up to them check this free app out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.security.lite
I can't believe I never used this before, noticed maps is constantly checking in, well not anymore you don't. GET YOUR TINFOIL HATS!

FYI - Touchpal Keyboard also works as swype

Swype works as Swype, touchpal works as touchpal

I'm pretty sure I was using swype earlier this month until I started using SwiftKey instead.

Swype has had a nasty bug where it would appear tiny and when "fixed" by using the landscape fix, it would be tiny. This is normal sized after being "fixed"

It's the actual keyboard, no installer necessary. You might get a check saying will expire in two days, just ignore it. Another notification saying all up to date should appear after. If not don't worry it'll still work.

How do we get the new version to look how it should? All the screens I've seen show a white/light-grey (holo-light) keyboard, mine's still dark-grey/blue like the older versions.

"If Samsung does indeed announce the update, we’re guessing it will still take time for it to float its way down to U.S. carrier-branded Galaxy S III units. Software updates need to be approved by each carrier individually, and that’s why we usually need to wait a few months for the updates to officially launch"

Sent from my HTC One X

I wouldn't get all that depressed. I haven't noticed a whole lot of difference between my HOX running CR4.5 (based on 4.0.4) and my Nexus 7. Main differences are cosmetic.
Project butter doesn't appear to make much of a difference. The two seem equally fast, though the Nexus sometimes opens certain apps a bit faster.

Likely soon. The new phablet is reportedly using JB and to be launched on Big V. Plus with HTC having the recent email its likely they are going to refocus some.

I assume ours will come later. Incorporating sense into jelly bean is a lot more intricate than touchwiz.

figured the HOX would be getting JB before the s3. last place i read said HOX would most likely get it first.

[Q] Anyone have any idea about this special edition AT&T HTC One X?

So I have this phone now and have been using it for about a week. Not really sure what edition it is. I can't find anything on Google about it or any pictures anywhere that seem to match up. It is an AT&T model I know that. I have already rooted it and am running CleanROM on it, but it started as a normal AT&T One X.
The is dark blue with stars all over it and says USA 2012 with the beats audio logo. There is no carrier branding on the outside of the phone. Where it normally says AT&T on the front is HTC. I attached some pics.

Amazing design on that one x. I can't find that specific design so it has to be a promotional. Where did you get/buy from?

I figured it is special Olympic model. I just didn't know if anyone had heard anything about it. One of my clients is an Olympic athlete. He sent this to me to use as a development phone. He has tons of other ones apparently (android phones) and this was just hanging out unused.
The stars on it are actually printed on the shell. You can feel them raised a bit when you rub your fingers over them.

I'm not sure it's mine to sell. It was sent to our office to use, but there is always the chance they could ask for it back. As I said, it was given as a dev phone to be able to program it (or just about any android device for that matter) for Crestron control of his house.
