Photoshop Touch

Any know how to update the Photoshop Touch app that came preinstalled?
The play store shows there was an update on Sept 5th but I have no option to update because it is not showing as installed and $9.99 to buy.
I checked the Samsung app store thinking maybe i had to update there, like i have to do specifically for all the faotd from Amazon, but the PST app isnt even listed in Samsung market.
Confused.....

The app is customised for the GN 10.1 so most likely Samsung would need to push it out via Google Play like with their other apps. Best to pose the question with Samsung.

not so much that it's customized for the gn10.1 but that it's licensed to only be used by your gn10.1.
if it were available through any market i'm pretty sure they'd be violating some kind of license they have with adobe as you'll then be able to install it on any device linked to the account.

It gets updated when updates come for the Note itself. And update to JB will surely update it as well.

Just make sure you put the pen against or close to the screen before you rest your palm against it and you should be fine.

I forgot about that totally!
However i still am not satisfied with the failure on small curves

Hi,
Photoshop is amazing for photos, coloring etc., but in my experience it's not good for drawing.
Try Scketchbook pro, layerpaint (palm rejection can be configured and it's very good), tv paint (beta) etc.
You can draw and color at one of those then add effects in photoshop.

Wired Magazine for Android Tablets

I recently pulled the Wired Magazine .apk from a cousin's Kindle Fire, and have found that it works well on the Nexus 7, and presumably other tablets. The current version is ̶2̶.̶7̶.̶0̶.̶1̶1̶.̶6̶0̶2̶0̶1̶ 2.9, and the only downside is that it seems like the magazine itself does not fill the entire screen while in viewing mode.
Some prerequisites:
-both Adobe Air and the Amazon Appstore must be installed (you must be logged in, too) for the app to function
-if you have an ad blocker installed, you must add any any websites that include adobe to your whitelist. Mine included "broker.adobe.com" and "stats.adobe.com". This might not be necessarily, but it is a good precaution. If you ignore this and the app crashes, uninstall it and add them.
Just install the app normally after checking the first two things. Also, you must have already purchased the magazines (at least in my testing). If you have a print subscription, I would advise creating your account on a computer, not in the app.

Thanks for this, any chance of pulling the latest version? I believe it's 2.9 or so.

Thanks! Works great on my N73G.

Just wanted to say thanks. I also have the problem of the app not filling the screen on the Nexus 7. Funny that it (presumably) works on the Kindle Fire HD, which is the same resolution.

The Kindle Fire HD is the same screen resolution, but the regular Kindle Fire is not. It's 1024x600 vs 1280x800, a short coming of ~200 pixels in each direction. This could explain the black edges. Maybe it defaults to the 1024x600 resolution unless it sees some indication of being on a Fire HD (ie: build.prop or other file). If so, I imagine there could be a fix for this to mimic the HD and get the full resolution.
OR, Wired could just release the damn app for all Android platforms. :silly:

I think you're right, but I unfortunately don't have access to a Fire HD. I think they use different versions on each different model, so that might be why. That is a complete guess, through.

I don't know if it helps but Wired is now available via Google Magazines in the UK at least.

Is it linked to a print subscription? We can get a glorified .PDF here (I'm the US) and we have to pay extra for it.

Yeah, F* that. Wired will give a free interactive digital issue to iPad and Kindle owners, but charge existing subscribers extra for some crappy PDF version that I could download for free from a number of places.
If Wired doesn't change it's tune, I'm planning on cancelling once my current subscription is over - just on principle.

Anyone else have an issue signing into their accounts? I've followed all of the install instructions and the wired app starts up normally. I just can't sign in to download any content.

On N7, Wired app says "App not owned" and redirects to amazonappstore and there I get the "App is not Compatibile" message.
No chance to click on the grey button (in the wired app) in top right corner "Current Magazine Subscribers.."

I used to get this error on my Nook Color but was able to successfully ignore it. Make sure you have the Amazon App store installed, logged in and updated. I think you also need Adobe Air. If you haven't already, "purchase" the Wired app in the Amazon app store via the web. It won't let you download the app and will say your device isn't compatible, but maybe it will get rid of the ownership message. I'm guessing here, so no promises this will fix anything.

Still not working on my n7. I've gotten it to work on my cm7 nook color, but I've tried everything on my n7. I've even re-installed the amazon app store and adobe air. I've also tried the previous version of the wired magazine apk. I get everything to install and open normally, I just can't log in to download my subscriptions. Anyone have any other suggestions?
The messed up thing about this is that it was a wired article that I was reading on my nook color that made me want to upgrade to the n7.

Make sure you disable any ad blocking software or changes made to your hosts file to block ads. This prevents you from logging in to the app.

Thanks, but I'm not running any ad blocking software (unless there's a native app on the n7 that's doing this and I'm not aware of it).

If you have Adobe Air installed, then I don't know what you can do. Try uninstalling Air and the Wired, and then re-install them. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. Wired doesn't offer ANY support so you're just out of luck.

Hoping someone can help. Running paranoid android on a note 2. Installed Adobe air and Amazon AppStore (logged in). I am able to open app, sign in, download, and install an issue...but when I go to view the issue it crashes/force closes.
Any advice?

It's probably am issue with paranoid android and the fact that the app is not meant to be compatible with anything other than the kindle fire. Do you have a stock device to test it on?

Google play finally allows you to sign up for free subscriptions using your existing print subscription. As of today, there is no longer a need to do the Wired app dance with Amazon.

Slight problems with new update

So just installed the newest update and am having a few problems...just want to confirm others are having the same.
As a side note, I haven't rooted my shield so however that factors in.
First, on the Shield, under shield games all of my games are gone.
Second, on pc, my shield apps folder was rewritten and is now empty of all game shortcuts.
Third, when adding shortcuts in the shield apps folder, shield won't update the shortcuts. So I'm stuck with shortcuts that don't work in my PC section. I can always use steam but, the dead shortcuts are pretty annoying.
Haven't done much else yet, I hope the rest isn't so bad.
Sent from my SHIELD using xda app-developers app

Never mind, steam isn't working either. It says 'cannot find steam'. I have geforce updated, not sure what's wrong. Anyone else?
Sent from my SHIELD using xda app-developers app

i haven't been able to download the new update yet!!!
my shield says up to date!

Well by how its going that's probably a good thing
Sent from my SHIELD using xda app-developers app

Well apparently for the dead shortcuts to be taken off and for steam to work I just had to restart my PC and shield. But, that still leaves the other two problems...new shortcuts won't go on, shield games list still empty.
Sent from my SHIELD using xda app-developers app

you mean as in when you press the Nvidia Logo the Shield Games section theres no android games appearing?
i also have this issue now that i am finally updated to OTA 65

Yup that's exactly what's happening to me.
Sent from my SHIELD using xda app-developers app

your gonna hate me for saying this but after me formatting my shield to factory default everything works fine even the nvidia dashboard game short-cuts,

FWIW I ran into the same problem of game icons disappearing. No fix for now but will investigate.

Ha, then you're really gonna hate me for saying this: for some unknown reason, I turned on my shield today and all those games returned. I had already tried resetting my shield several times before without it working, so I have no idea why it did now.
Still one problem though, still can't add apps in the shield apps folder on my PC.
Sent from my SHIELD using xda app-developers app

phew! I;m not the only person experiencing issues with steam!
Seems there is an issue with OTA 65 or the geforce experience update.
I am also getting the issue with my shield saying it cannot find steam, or it cannot launch steam. such a pain, it will set my pc screen to 720p res and then get stuck there.
my advice is not to update yet as it doesn't really offer anything new, expect for pc streaming in console mode to tv but no use if it can;t even launch steam.

Interestingly the icon issue fixed itself for me as well.

Shift worker app

Does anyone know what shift worker app is the best on the android market? I rely on these apps to plan my months and the one I used to use on my iPhone doesn't appear to be available. Any help would be really appreciated!!

I just bit the bullet and entered all my shifts into Google Calendar. My shift pattern repeats after 10 weeks, so although it took me a little while to get those first ten entered, the "repeat every xx...." function in Calendar means I never have to mess around with it again.
Also, having it in my calendar means that Google Now can give me reminders when to leave for work early if, for instance, the traffic is bad that day.
Plus, if I ever move away from Android (unlikely) then my Calendar can come with me, no issues - rather than facing the same problem which you have now.
To actually display my calendar I like Calendar Pad's widget. Also I have Calendar Status Pro in my notification shade, which is handy because I have a constant reminder of calendar appointments every time I pull down the shade.
I'm always interested in trying out new solutions if they can provide better functionality though, so I'd be interested to hear what other people use too

That's an idea I had already contemplated but my shifts change every 5 weeks. I used an app on the iPhone called 'Shift worker' made by a company called production shed. I've emailed them to see if they have the same app available for android but I highly doubt it! Shame a dev couldn't come up with something that we could really make great use of! All the apps I've saw just look mega complicated. Might need to resort to Google calendar though and integrate it with Google now.

Icon refresh after closing app

Hi,
I have a fairly new nexus 5 from an RMA so is this a issue with new handset or I have read it's due to new Google now launcher.
Every time I close game app or social media app my screen icons disappear and the come back after a second or so.
I didn't have this on my original at any point.
Thanks

I'm running completely stock and I do occasionally get oddities when returning to the launcher. Mostly, this results in the wallpaper turning black for a split second before returning. It's not the end of the world but it doesn't look very slick next to iOS 6... I've not found a cure for it sadly.

It's a memory issue. When you are running heavy apps suchs as games etc the launcher will drop out of memory to make place for the game and will have to redraw itself when you go back to it. I have not personally had this issue with the stock launcher as far as I know but on the other hand I do not play games either except for emulators. Perhaps it's some kind of Google Launcher issue. It should stay in memory though and not get killed unless you have very little free RAM available.

Don't worry it is only because of your heavy graphics apps, generally social media apps or games apps takes lots of memory to store.
