Mine worked now, but turning 3d buildings on makes the app lag a lot....kind'of useless in my opinion. What happened to the dual core super fats processor??!!

No lag here.

dont work at all ask for network

Where's tilt function?
For me it's working fine without any lag. Anyone of you know how to use tilt? In my EVO 4G there's a Look-around button which allows you to tilt the satellite view.

There was another update today, but not sure of the changelog.

can someone extract and post here the apk please cause it seems its not available in greece ATM..
Thank you..

Don't work on my tablet

If you tell me where it is, I'll do my first Android extraction for you.

Tilt works when you slide up and down with two fingers.
As for those complaining that it's not working, I'd suggest you uninstall it first and then download it from the Market again.
Don't run it yet but reboot your tablet and then turn on GPS and make sure Google Maps is working(detects your location). Now run Google Earth. It should work now.
My experience is with the US A500 and so don't know if this method will work elsewhere.

yeah it still doesnt work at all with the same stupid message

Sorry to hear that. It must be a US/non-US issue then.

Thanx
A bit weird though. A couple of days ago they let me download smart office 2. Which I did. Now they only offer smart office 1 and Polaris.
It pays off to watch all Samsung offers closely and regularly. They sometimes make games and apps available for a couple of hours. Most is crap but some are gems.
Thanx for the heads up

where's more service?

I'm not satisfied with po4 because it can't edit files on my gdrive. It open in read only. Other suite can edit this. Doc files.
Do you noticed it?

Check it's not opening with Polaris viewer. perhaps u need to clear defaults on viewer app.

No I don't have a default app for. Doc. I choose time to time.
Try this: upload a .Doc file on your gdrive and then try to open it directly in gdrive app: if you do that with polaris (not viewer) it say "read only" and you can't edit files. With office suite pro in can do that!
Can you verify this behavior of your phone with polaris 4.0?
Thank you

I use kingsoft office. Is this polaris a better option for the galaxy s3?

Kingsoft vs Polaris

Why not download it and give it a try, it is free after all. It seems pretty comprehensive to me, but like all apps of this type on a phone, it's only really useful for small edits (unless you have your phone linked to an HD display and are using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse).
Still waiting for my MHL cable, so will give it a try then with the set up mentioned above and report back here (if I can remember...lol)

the version that came with LFb is higher than that is available on "more services"

If your device is rooted,why you just uninstall all this bloatware (or just disable it,like the 3 rd post).With greenify,you can not stop a system application (like Watch on)

I use Gemini App manager to configure the autorun of each app.
It means you can keep the app installed and enabled but the app will only run on user allowed conditions.

Exactly, just delete the APKs you don't use from
Code:
/system/app

[Q] WhatsApp last seen..

Ok this maybe a silly question so tolerate the post.. ... One irritating thing about whatsapp is the last seen feature ( atleast in few cases )
I know there are a few apps which block this by blocking data access when u r in whatsapp....
Was looking @Logs in data folder and there was info about my last seen etc... There must be some code which enables whatsapp to access the time right ???
Is there any patch that can be installed to deny this?? ( no last seen feature) .....

Extensions for Edge

Does anybody know if extensions for Edge will be released, and if so, when? I really need adblock on it before I begin using it instead of Firefox. [emoji6]
Sent from my *unrooted* ZTE Zinger using the Tapatalk app.

Windows 10 threshold 2, from what I know November-ish. In the meantime, you can use the host-file hack to block ads. Note, this will block ALL network connections no matter what application is being used to those ad-networks.

Thanks. I don't want to pay 20 bucks for the only working edge adblocker. ?

Why not install Chrome or Firefox and install the addon 'adblocker'?

I have Chrome and Firefox but I like the material design of Edge and it runs more quickly on my laptop than Firefox and Chrome. [emoji5]
Sent from my BN Nook HD using Tapatalk

According to softpedia, extension support will arrive most likely in October. But I doubt it

Edge is pretty nice, but not nice enough to sway me away from Chrome.
FF just has gone way downhill. I rarely use it anymore

Unfortunately, no.

There isn't an extension for this purpose as of now but there are many ways to achieve ad blocking on Edge. I believe the best way is the HOSTS file hack. You needn't spend any money for it. Follow the steps in either of these links:
http://winaero.com/blog/block-ads-in-microsoft-edge-browser-project-spartan/
https://dottech.org/190216/how-to-block-ads-in-microsoft-edge-tip/
Both links essentially detail the same method, but you'll gain some extra knowledge from each.
If, for whatever reason, you don't want to use the hack, there are some tools/ applications that can be used to block ads. Check these links:
