It's the second one in the Shield series, so it has a little traction already.

I'll be grabbing CCleaner for my Transformer Prime when I get home.
That thing runs like a sleepy Hutt going up a greased hill.

That's pretty much inevitable though, right? Look at any technology and you can pretty much apply this same logic to it. Though the time frame can fluctuate wildly.

Yup, pretty much.

Learn something new every day..

Thanks I'll have to try that.

I have this problem, but it's on PCs not on tablets. And like you, we have to clear the cache, and sometimes reset the browser to make it function.

And part of our issue is that we are using Mobilock to lock down the tablets so users can only do what they need to do (basically web and e-mail access only). So when they hit the cache wall it becomes a work stoppage because they cannot make changes to the tablets themselves.

It sounds on the surface at least that we are both suffering from some sort of cache corruption.

Yeah, that would make sense. I almost wish there was a way to disable caching on the tablets.

You've been on iPhone so long I wonder if this is really an issue?

Just over a year. Not all that long. But does anyone actually provide support for a rooted phone? Do you get them replaced when things don't work? Like if I have a battery issue I expect a new phone. If I root the phone, will that still happen?

Yes. Rooting a phone in no way voids manufacturer warranties or support from the carrier.

Thanks for the heads up.

The immediately important bit (until a resolution) from the article:
Disabling WebRTC can be done by installing the WebRTC Block extension for Chrome, while in Firefox the “media.peerconnection.enabled” needs to be set to “false” on the advanced configuration page (about:config).

LOL, nope, it is very, very real.

in the begining i though that app can be blocked by closing some ports numbers, but it seem that almost all of the apps use either 80 or 443, and if close one of these port it is like i closed everything !!!

Yes, normal businesses block all traffic on all ports and only allow 80 and 443 (web ports) via proxies. So any app that used another port would be assumed to be always broken, even in many homes. You need to proxy all traffic, not just some traffic, and you need a proxy that can terminate SSL for the end users are you are wasting your time because basically every site supports SSL today and if you can't filter SSL the proxy is pointless.

@Carnival-Boy Well that is truly disappointing!

I like hangouts, but i think its way too complicated for non-techy users. Hangouts really doesn't like texting phone contacts. It almost forces you to convert everyone to Google Contacts. Also if you have Google Voice, it will randomly text some people with your Google Voice number . It took me awhile to figure out that I was texting people from Google Voice instead of my carrier number. I found that in settings it tries to reply with the last number you used.

Overall its better than any texting app I have used, but its a real pain in the ass to configure and nothing is really explained.

Yeah, I guess I can see that. What's weird is how Airdroid and Hangouts works...Airdroid will only show you messages sent and received to/from your carrier's number. But in Hangouts, it aggregates your Google chat, carrier, and Google Voice messsages all into one stream. Kind of annoying tbh...that it doesn't show everything in Airdroid like it does in Hangouts...

Hopefully they release it as an update for the S4. Otherwise, I may be rooting!

Sorry - some reason I'm wondering what I could use this for.....

Well it is a small, quad core, low power desktop computer that you can run Android, Linux or Windows on. So mostly anywhere that you need a low cost, low power desktop.

I guess since I haven't followed the technology much, I am missing something. My take is that it's a USB device,.. But it's a desktop. But it doesn't make sense to plug it into my desktop to run a desktop... sorry.. Seems like a dense question I know.

It is actually a HDMI device that plugs into a monitor and is powered via USB (at least from what I am seeing).

Only looks like USB. That's the monitor output that you see.

AH! - Okay. That makes a tad bit more sense. Hmm.. I'll have to make a note of that,.. and see. I have the 32" TV at the house that doesn't get much use...

So they did. I had not seen any talk or mention of it anywhere.

Java has turned into a great server side product but a pretty pathetic client side one.

That Android uses Java as its programming platform is pretty surprising.

I'm surprised iOS doesn't have this built in yet. As Macbooks already do this under the Battery Menu. However on mobile OS people that run those Battery Doctor (and the more popular Advanced Task Killer) type apps end up getting less life out of the battery. Many apps take so little battery running in a suspended state in the background that fully closing them multiple times means the processing to get it going multiple times a day again would use more power..

This has been speculated about for quite some time. Makes a lot of sense.

Interesting concept. Won't be very popular. I suspect only existing android junkies will give this a second look.

If Apple made an iPad equivalent maybe the combination could generate some market interest.
