Also GPS toggle only seems to bring up the GPS menu, I'd rather it just toggle GPS on/off...

Kitchen Timer has a funky UI. It's not ugly, but it's quite bizarre, and doesn't support pausing the timer. Hybrid Stopwatch & Timer has ads and, again, a very bizarre, cluttered UI. G StopWatch & Timer comes the closest. It would be nice if it could be trained to start in timer mode, and especially nice if I could use either flick scrolling or the keyboard to set timers, but it'll have to do. Thanks for the suggestions, so far.

Out of curiosity, why not Evernote? I like it a lot, so I'm probably too biased to see a downside.

So my battery life has been awful of late and I am pretty sure it's due to data usage (due to amazing battery life with 3G off) any settings or apps out there that let me see what is using data, how much, and when?

FYI: When I stopped using my stock/sense rom a timer/stopwatch was a huge want for me, I tried a bunch from the market and found that most wake-lock the phone completely until beep time. I found one that didn't, just a countdown timer called "timer by thespinninghead" I've been using that and also, as suggested to me at the time of my search, just do voice command like "alarm 20 minutes".

There's really no reason since it's always off unless an app specifically calls for it, then it turns on until it's no longer needed and turns itself off.

LastInLine posted:Yes, the widget itself can be changed but whether I check the option for customizing the notification separately or not the only thing I can change on the notification is the color of the indicator. I can't remove the icons, change the icon color, apply icon labels, nor change the background (which isn't an option if you customize the notification separately) at all. Are you using Widgetsoid 2.x and not the original Widgetsoid? I've got Widgetsoid 2.x version 3.2.4 and haven't had that problem on any phone with any ROM. Hmm.

The only other thing I've noticed is the notification widget doesn't stay at the top of the drawer. New notifications will push it down. Is there any way to keep it at the very top?

x-posting from Android device thread: Well, Google Wallet failed on me last night, just as I had feared that it would! I had added an add'l $20 to the Google prepaid card bringing my prepaid amount to $30. I then got a bunch of poo poo and walked up to the register. The clerk rang everything up, and gave me the total. I unlocked my phone (VZW GN) and placed the back of the phone up to the PayPass thingy. I felt a magnetic pull, and thought Wallet would popup and ask me for my PIN but alas! Tried it a couple more times until I got frustrated and just used my debit card. Couple of things to note: I swapped the battery yesterday to my new extended battery from VZW. That could've done it. I also noticed that I had low signal (3G) when I was in the store, so that could've been it as well, but I don't know. Just reporting my findings.

And I'm with you on your two biggest annoyances. For now I'm using a standalone flashlight app/widget, and I miss having it in Widgetsoid. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5kZXZ1bmkuZmxhc2hsaWdodCJd As for the notification position, that's pissing me off. It doesn't hurt functionality, but it doesn't look as nice as the CM7 notification toggle.

I just started using Dropbox finally, and thought it'd be a good idea to put a bunch of my photos for phone viewing. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to use a custom image viewer while opening images in Dropbox; it defaults to Gallery, and I want it to use QuickPic (mainly because Gallery will only flipflip portrait/landscape based on the phone's default setting for that, which I have turned off, and QuickPic overrides that setting just for that app). Any idea how to go about forcing Dropbox to open a different default viewer? Or possibly some other solution (other than enabling auto-rotate all the time)?

Use Estrong's File Manager. It works with Dropbox and lets you use whatever you want to open a file when you tap it.

Kyrosiris posted:Use Estrong's File Manager. It works with Dropbox and lets you use whatever you want to open a file when you tap it. I actually have Es File Explorer, and I like it quite a bit. I didn't even think to just browse the dropbox folder with it. Durr. However, the Dropbox app successfully sees the hundreds of photos I have in a directory, but ES File Explorer only sees one photo in there. What is that about? I've tried refreshing Dropbox both via ES and using Dropbox, and no change. Also, is there a way to add Favorites in ES File Explorer so I can quickly get to the Dropbox folder from Home? It looks like all you can save is where Home is, which I guess would work. And when I do that I still have Favorite links to /sdcard/ and sdcard/external_sd/, so that's great... but it seems like you'd be able to make all kinds of Favorites. Edit: Played around with this some more, and realized that ES File Explorer is specifically a Dropbox client, meaning if I want to actually look at the stuff in my Dropbox on the "net" I have to have it actually log in under "net". The reason why I only saw one of my hundreds of photos was that that one was the only one I actually had downloaded to the folder on my phone specifically. So that all makes sense. Unfortunately, the viewer selection issue is still an issue. If I browse to my local dropbox folder and look at an image there, it opens with my default viewer (Quickpic). But if I select an image for viewing on the "Net" depository of my dropbox folder, it uses the ES image viewer, and doesn't let me set a default viewer at all. Sigh.

Is the google voice app very slow for anyone else? I've been using it to text people in the states while I'm in Canada, but when I tap a notification, it takes about a second to switch to the app. Also, if I get a text while typing, I can't type until it fully arrives.

My swype stopped swyping and instead began to inform me that instead an update was available. So I went ahead and updated then went to the swype forum to check out what's new. Turns out a lot is new! Best thing is it should now update automatically OTA. No more dealing with the installer once you've got it. It also now supports Japanese input with kana/kanji conversion and stuff. As was mentioned it was bought out by the makers of the dragon speech software which is now apparently integrated. The Speech to Text button has had the logo replaced with a flame and apparently goes through the dragon stuff. No idea how it will compare with Google's version. Rather interestingly, it now purports to have an AI learning system, (along the lines of swiftkey I guess) that learns as you type. This has been coupled with a predictive AI also along the lines of AI which it supposedly uses to make better choices when there could be multiple words from your swipe across the keypad (ie It will favour Pit of Pot if proceeded by Mosh). The interface has had a subtle and welcome change, both visually and functionally. Very minor aesthetic changes but also a few changes to the advanced buttons and they've made all the secondary/advanced screens (such as the edit screen with the cursor controls etc) much more easily accessed. A very good update all around it sounds like.
