Hey, they finally updated the NFL Mobile app to "Support Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich devices" (of which there is 1 in retail existence), and guess what, it STILL DOESN'T loving WORK! It's some kind of joke they're playing.

To be fair, the NFL app only works on Verizon, so that still narrows it down to just the Nexus in terms of "devices they had to test this app on in order to confirm it works properly."

They stopped it mid-rollout with no word on when they're starting it up again. Something was hosed with it for some people.

As a CDMA Nexus S user hurry up Google. I'm tired of CM7's quirks.

I'll see you in heck!
Gmail for email I care about, and I like it.. Touchdown for work email, and I don't like it much. Navigating to/from the homescreen/functions is irritating. Often times it just closes when I hit back, but sometimes it goes back to the first screen. But, the default client doesn't do the encryption thats required.

Same. Over four different phones I've never had issues with Gmail syncing. That's mighty weird.

One more vote for same. I frequently get it on my phone before my desktop pop-up thing shows up on my computer. I also like the new look in ICS.

What how? You start it up and it shows you the end of your billing cycle, how many minutes/megabytes/texts you've used and how many you have total. There's even a widget.

When it even works, it crashes often. Also, since I'm on a shared minutes bucket, in order to find out how many minutes I personally have used I have to click several times down through the menu to get to that data.

What do I need to restore with titanium backup to get my launcher settings back after a wipe?

It comes back when I restore all system settings, but thats not what I want to do since its still telling me theres a ROM update available after installing that ROM when I do that.

You should have a backup of "Launcher" and if you just restore that and its settings it should do what you want. If you use a third party launcher like LPP, ADW, etc. then you'd want to restore that instead. Also, Android doesn't let you restore widgets for some reason so you'll need to add them back. Other shortcuts and settings should come back in tact though.

I'm sure it's because I'm dumb, but I have a Samsung Infuse 4G (rooted) onto which I'm trying to install the Swype Beta. I froze the original Swype with Titanium Backup and downloaded the beta installer, but after jumping through the hoops and pressing install, I get a "Application not installed" message.

Is there some other package or process I need to kill/freeze before it'll take?

Frozen is still installed. Make a backup of Swype then uninstall it.

I loved quick controls on the Honeycomb browser. It's just too bad the rest of the browser was slow and didn't handle Flash well.

True, but not exactly necessary. I've successfully frozen (with Bloat Freezer) Swype and installed the beta more than a few times. I have learned that I have to restart after freezing, but before installing the beta, or else it'll fail.

My G-Nex has reset approx. 3-4 times since I have had it. I am currently blaming it on woofi and have deleted the app. Each time it happened, I had been returning home and my phone resets itself. I have noticed at least this many times and once caught it looping a bit on start up. Lets hope this is remedied with the removal of the app (free version)

Is Google music a big pile of crap? I'm really making an effort to use it, but I'm getting a big disparity between what is in my perfect iTunes directory and what gets uploaded.

I even wiped online and started over, but I still get bad meta data that just doesn't exist local. Currently 100% off my stuff is online, and I moved a single album local using the Google music app, and showing only offline stuff gives me a much bigger list then just the one, not to mention I can't find out anywhere in local or internal storage. Moving stuff to a music folder results in duplicate entries

It's getting to be not worth it but I'm really wanting to like the streaming aspect
