Is there a way to set up Tasker so that an alarm goes off when the phone is fully charged? I'd like to use it on my Nexus S 4G but the battery only charges to 94% and I'm not sure if that make a difference or not.

Maker Of Shoes posted:Someone started back porting the ICS keyboard for use with 2.2/2.3 You can modify how strong you want the vibrations, I love this keyboard for this feature alone. However, the sound is pretty low for me when hitting a key and I can't find the developer's e-mail anywhere to let them know that.

landis posted:It's worth mentioning that I wish I could get rid of the Google search widget at the top of every single screen, I've never understood that because the search button has exactly the same functionality but at least in ICS it's much less of an eyesore (you can remove it in Nova Launcher). If you disable Google Search in ICS, it will remove the search widget from all screens. However, I think it'll stop the Search button from working too and you'll just have to use Google.com when you want to search for something rather than the widget.

Duckman2008 posted:So apparently HTC killed the ability to disable the shutter sound on the stock, non rooted HTC evo 3D. This also is already driving my fiance crazy. Any thoughts on fixing it? I'm not sure if this is the same on Sense, but on stock Gingerbread (2.3.7) on my Nexus S 4G, you can turn off the camera sounds by going into Silent Mode.

I'm trying out the ICS Messaging app as I wait for the Nexus S 4G to get an official OTA (or buy a Sprint GNex) and it's pretty awesome. Is this seriously how the ICS Messaging app is? I mean it's simplistic, but it's still really good for what I use it for. Also, Roboto looks amazing on the NS4G screen.

I have Estrong's File Explorer on my NS4G and I only really use it to access my phone's files. I'd really like to use it at it's full (non-rooted) potential. I have a website and I think it'd be cool to upload to that site, connect directly to my desktop and laptop, and whatever else is possible with it. Is there like a guide for this somewhere? Also, I'm new to using Woofi and is there some settings I should change somehow because I tried it today and I'm not exactly sure how to make it stop checking every 10 minutes or so. Is there an optimal setting for good battery life that I should be using? Thanks!

Wagonburner posted:If the ads are targetted I could see AT&T and their marketing dept getting behind this. I've even got an idea for a commercial. It involves hot bitchy wife txting to retarded chubby husband not to forget something for tonight's themed yuppy dinner party like he did last time (italics work in tv-texting). RCH sees a targetted ad for the item in question, mashes butan and orders 10x the amount needed, to be delivered 10 days later. The per-unit cost and ability to not have to leave his applebees barstool where he fills himself with wings and brews makes him give a "not so retarded anymore" smirk at the camera. This is a fascinating scenario and I could see it happening. Has anyone actually clicked on an ad from an app before intentionally?

Got access to the Steam app. It's pretty interesting. I think Valve actually used an ICS Nexus S to develop this because it follows some of Google's ICS rules and even has a sort of ICS blue theme going on with taps and whatnot. It's really nice. The app is very smooth on my NS4G and it seems that you can buy games from the app itself and it'll show up in your game library on your PC. However, I don't have the funds to test this currently.

I know it ruins all the work the producers put into making their music sound good but on the other hand I AM HEARING IN THREE DEE How do you get this?

hooah posted:I managed to find it, at least on the ICS version of Google Music. While you're listening to a track, hit the menu button in the action bar, then choose "Sound effects." You'll be able to use a 5-band equalizer with presets, a separate bass boost, and this 3D effect thing. I think the latter is just panning stuff harder to either (or both) side(s), simulating a wider audio field. I think this is ICS only. I've had to use Equalizer on my phone in the past to get this. Good to see it's native in the OS this time around.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Jesus Christ I was wondering about this. I reset my Nexus S 4G back to factory and when I fired up Google Wallet, all it did was ask to make a new PIN and I was in without any problems. I wonder how they can fix this, if they can. Then again, I don't think people will make too big of a deal since you have to actually have your phone taken first (though that does happen and could happen more if people realize which phones officially have Google Wallet).

How do you check the /system folder size using EStrong's File Manager? I know there's a way to do it on a non-rooted device as I've done it before but I forgot how. Was this changed in more recent versions? Glimm posted:Yes it's only a problem if someone physically has control of your device and can bypass your lockscreen. The fix is to maintain the pin/password on a secure server remotely (with your bank). This fix will likely be a huge pain in the rear end to implement and to use once done. Personally I prefer to just have some security on my device and a number to call/way to wipe my device remotely if it goes missing. That does sound like a big hassle. I'm pretty sure my bank wouldn't even know how to do any of this as their idea of a smartphone app to access your bank account is to spam your phone with SMS every time you get at least $0.01 deposited or withdrawn...

Does anyone know of a good Twitter app? I think the official Twitter app is causing random wakelocks for no reason and when I reset my device, it all went away. I'm not sure if it's Google+, Facebook, or Twitter but it's really seeming that it's Twitter at the moment. If there isn't a decent replacement for the offical Twitter app, is there a way I could set it up to lower the chance of wakelocks on my Nexus S 4G? If there's a way I should set up the Google+ and Facebook apps, that would help too. I've tried Twicca so far and it feels too unfinished for me.

I'm trying out Plume for the first time as my default Twitter app, but I'm not sure if I'm customizing it right. I want to set it so that I get Mentions and Messages while still having a long sync interval for other Tweets. I had it set like this in the official Twitter app, with the interval at four hours but I got Messages and Mentions immediately. I tried to do the same in Plume but it didn't work. Is there another setting I need to change or is Plume not as sync-happy as the official Twitter so having a lower sync time okay?

A Pinball Wizard posted:Edit: While I'm at it, how about weather apps? Weather channel's is slow and bloated and only shows the radar for the last half hour; AccuWeather is a pile of poo poo covered in pretty chrome. I really like the 1Weather app. It's simplistic but still informative enough to understand the basics of the next few days to me. I also like that it has "1" in the title so it'll be the very first thing in your App Drawer. That really works for me because it makes it the first thing I check in the morning. Also, it'll sync and let you know if there's a storm or whatnot coming your way a day or so in advance with a vibration/sound. I like it doesn't really use up battery to do that either.

Has anyone had any issues with the new Google Voice app? Each time I get a text, it activates...but then sticks around using RAM even after answering and it doesn't close. I'm not sure if it's because I'm using the Nexus S 4G with GV integration but I'd really like for it just to close after texts are answered or just not open at all except for voicemail.

Is there a way to make Google Calendar display tasks so that the Calendar app can pick it up or am I stuck using GTasks? If anyone knows a better app than Gtasks, feel free to mention it. I'm not really a fan of this app and I'm wondering why Google doesn't have one (unless you can show the tasks on the calendar).

Cardboard Box A posted:Has anyone noticed Currents messing up lately? First the medium text size suddenly became the small size out of the blue and now some sources are unreadable - they just get stuck on loading forever. Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing. I've noticed this too. I've also noticed the app tends to constantly sync, even when I set it to manual sync and I back out of the app. This is fine if I'm on wifi but on 3G it murders my battery.

Maker Of Shoes posted:So it looks like Google is basically renaming the Android market to "Google Play". I honestly think it's a good move since the Market now houses a bunch of non Android related things. Also, the ad they have for it is actually good. Google made a good ad. WTF? To add to this, they'll also be pushing out an update to the Market app renaming it to "Play Store". It'll also rename Music, Books, and Movies to Play Music, Play Books, and Play Movies. They're also redoing the Android Market badges (the "Download on Android Market" icons and whatnot) to "Get it on Google Play" http://www.android.com/developers/branding.html#google_play The update to phones is 2.2+ only and it starts rolling out today. Hopefully the APK is put online today too as updates for Market (Play Store now, I guess) are incredibly slow. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/03/introducing-google-play.html

I at least like that the Google Music site got a much needed color change because I wasn't really a fan of the orange everywhere (even though that's the color on the Market/Store). The name is still weird especially considering the "Play Books" thing. I've never played a book in my life except for book on tape/CD.
