Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

How do I hide the status bar on top?

You're on Nova right? iirc you can long press empty space on your home screen and choose "nova settings" to do it or you can go into nova settings and create one of your softkey nav buttons to perform hiding of the status bar. Going on memory here as I don't use that launcher

I'll try that

just got AOKP build 18(or is it 19, what ever the newest is) up and running. doesn't seem as smooth as axiom, but feels faster opening apps and the such. Love the customization that this rom offers though! i'll keep playing around with it tomorrow then hopefully will give another kernel a shot too!

I love having an open phone with lots of development, missed it from my OG droid days :(

What's going on with the website being down? Refreshing this thread from a web browser gives a blank screen (I'm on the app now). Going directly to androidforums.com or phandroid.com gives a warning message from Google that the site is known to distribute malware!


I got that as well, but now it seems to be better. thought I typed in the wrong URL or something (even though i have androidforums.com bookmarked.)

Hey y'all (omg, I've been spending too much time in Atlanta!) Been a while since I've been here and it's taken me forever to catch up. (Didn't want to skip any pages cuz you never know what BabyBlues might have posted!)

I'm trying JD Ultimate and wanted to get some input from others out there. I seem to get a negative vibe about JD and wondered why before I put too much time and effort into customizing.

I know I could ask in the normal GNex forums, but although I do visit those sites too, it's so much more fun and relaxing hanging out here. :)

Also, what's the verdict about the CD player phone mount I read about a few hundred pages back? Anyone used it that has an opinion?

Flip-floppers should get treated just as harshly as sponsors, IMO. Kowtowing and pandering just because some people protest does not impress me. I'll take flip-flopping over the passing of the law, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't remember that certain lawmakers did support it at one time when they're up for re-election.

I got that too. I've gotten it on other sites before, it's usually caused by malicious ads leaking into ad providers that big sites use.

Wow, I had my phone in my pocket and when I pulled it out it was stuck on the boot animation. I ended up having to pull the battery. Fortunately, it did start up ok after that. I have no idea what caused it. I'm pretty sure I locked the screen before putting it in my pocket.

Double wow! This one is even more strange. Phone was again in my pocket. This time I heard noise coming from it so I pulled it out. It had apparently randomly chosen someone from my contact list to call and what I heard was the person's voicemail. What makes it even more weird is that the phone was still locked!! Do you guys think its possible I've got some sort of virus?

Yeah you might want to factory reset your phone

Good to see you don't cha just love Hartsfield :D

JD has a long history I think he's a good kid just started out on the wrong foot. He was around for the Inc and just did some ROM'ing the wrong way. It's in the past

And that CD mount car dock is awesome I love mine! A+ rating ;)

WB Cap'n!

Unrelated but I saw my first commercial for Ghost Rider! So excited! Well, half excited. Have to see if any of my friends are planning on seeing it. My gut says no and I'll be flying solo.

Well if I happen to be in your part of the country when it opens I'll give you a buzz. (not that there is anything wrong with flying solo.)

I have had something weird happen twice. I used battery calibration from the market.Charged to 100%, tapped the calibration button then unplugged. I let the gnex totally run down and shut down the phone. When I plugged the phone in and powered it back on, it says it is at 56%, huh? This has happened both times I used the app. Anyone have any ideas?

Yup. Stop using the app. :D
Barring that, no, i dont know.

Nope, nothing wrong with it but it does get a bit old at times.
So I'll keep my fingers crossed that your flight plans send you this way. :)

Well I've been lurking and I figured I'd post mainly because...

I'M GETTING ONE SOON :D :D :D

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if you could download and change the fonts on your Nexus without rooting? I was able to on my Fascinate via this app that's available for Galaxy S devices only... and obviously the GNex isn't a Galaxy S lol

This was only about 10 days ago and already about 10 pages ago lmao yall talk like crazy. ;)

But anyway, I've changed my mind. I don't like the way ICS works on the Nexus... originally I thought the right button on the bottom was a menu key but it's the recent apps button instead... I'd rather long press home to get to that. Also, I rarely use that feature, so having a set button for that would be useless, I'd rather have a menu button.

So I've decided to follow the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX just like yall did before the launch of the Nexus haha :D It has the traditional 4 keys on the bottom, same order as my Fascinate so getting used to them shouldn't be a problem :)

Good day everyone, and enjoy your Nexus'es :D

P.S. This is my 400th post :p
