Do you have a tip/trick for ICS? Post it here.

Cool little dialer trick just found...

If you like the dialpad to search your contacts (vs. using the contacts tab in the dialer) dynamically (T9 keys)...try this:
While in the dialpad, select menu (three dots), Settings>dialpad settings>Select Enable T9 dialer, select dial selected contact, open T9 sorting order and select the one you want. I picked names.

Enjoy!

I don't know what phone your using but my GN has no "Dialpad Settings" category. There is no dialpaid either.

I need a little help here. I don't find "Dialpad settings" while in the phone app.

EDIT:...ok, my dialpad tip only works for those on a 4.0.3 base.

Fixed my one typo-thanks

...ok, so when you open your phone app, the first screen option (farthest to the left at the top of the screen) isn't your dialpad -- other two screens within the phone app are call log and contacts of course? And none of the screens have settings dots? and you can't make settings changes there? And there are no options for "Dialpad Settings" and you can't change the T9 from there?

Maybe my phone is the extra special one they built, with the gold inlay in behind the battery door with a bright golden battery. Does yours have that?

Seriously, maybe it is due to the new radios, or the ROM I am on. I will have to revert to see.

There are settings dots. However it brings you to the "Call Settings" menu. None of those give us an option to turn on the T9 dialing.

Exactly,


I think the ROM he's running is using a modified dialer...

 

[SecondShot]

Ahhh, I see the problem...sorry bout that. I checked the version number of the dialer and its 4.0.3!

Choices in Call Settings Menu I have:
Quick Responses/Voicemail Service/Voicemail Settings/TTY Mode/Dialpad settings/Voice Privacy/Accounts/Use Internet Calling

My bad. Sorry! But its coming in the update I guess.

I think it's the new version 4.0.3 root roms has this already. I still have 4.0.2 and I don't have it.

 

[MoPhoMan]

Yes, go to your dialer>touch 3 dots on top right>settings>voicemail settings>voicemail number>advance cursor to end of *86>press and hold *# key>comma inserts a pause, then add your voicemail access number followed by a # >press OK. Took me a long time to find that out.

thanks...I couldn't figure out how to get the , on the number pad

To help pay it forward, if you add a ,1 after your password it will also jump directly into your first message.

 

[MoPhoMan]

Thank you!!!

Wish there was a free one, but $1.28 will do rather than switching to correct page on launcher.

too many times i'm in an app and it says, "wifi needs to be on". then need to "home", slide, turn on, back to orig app. Now Slide notification down and on!!!

Notification toggle works great

Ugh! I use the free Dialer2 app and its fantastic and doesn't ask for my first born in permissions.

Mercy, Why does the app need permission to take pics, just to name one? Heh!

probably because you can put a camera shortcut in the notification panel too

 

[Lucky Armpit]

for anyone with a tablet who got used to this like i did, i couldn't be more happy. in the browser settings go to "labs" and you can turn on full screen broswer and get the naviation wheel on the side the screen like in honeycomb.

Can someone explain to me the difference between having this option turned on vs. off? I swear I can't tell a difference.

More like so they can turn on your cams remotely to see whats up in your life.

Hi. I don't know if this was already mentioned (I didn't want to read through 9 pages of replies), but not all usb cables are the same.

My OG Droid usb cable input specifications are 0.2A and ouput of 850mA, while the Galaxy Nexus usb cable input is 0.15A and output is 1.0A.

I am only using the cable that came with my GNex, both for transferring files and especially for charging, since it receives a different amount of power than other cables.

:facepalm: This is totally not true and misleading of other noobs, I hope you go back and edit your post. . The CABLES are the same, and compatible. The CABLE doesn't have anything to do with the power rating or handling. What is different is the CHARGER or wall adapter. Those vary quite a bit with their rated power output as you noted. But the CABLES will work identically for file transfers etc. When you're charging you can alsouse either CABLE. It's the CHARGER where you should use the GNex one because it outputs 1 amp. If you have another CHARGER that ALSO puts out 1amp you can use that instead.

They would have to be really bored to watch my life

Does anyone know how to rotate a received MMS picture message? I know on my DX if i got a message from a blackberry/iphone user the picture was always sideways, but I could rotate it in the gallery when viewing it.. does anyone know how to do it in ICS? I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks!

is there a way to add a pic to the sms conversation on me when i sent a text it shows a picture of me?

 

[soy.lor.n]

Thanks your a life/marrage saver

Is it just me or does all this "instant upload" crap REALLY discourage girls from taking photos of themselves topless?

As if it wasn't bad enough already...Whoops! Accidentally sent a picture of my boobs to everyone I know including my parents and even grandparents.

It seems SO blatantly obvious to me that taking risque pics of yourself is one of the top uses for a cell phone camera, and therefore instant uploading should be very much opt-in. You should have to click like 3 different "are you REALLY sure??" checkboxes before enabling it.

App on the market syncmypic if you wanna use your Facebook pic or just add them to your contacts individually

Can you then please explain why i have 4 cables here, two made by HTC (from my HTC Desire) which have all worked wonderfully with my computer and old phone for the last year, but of which none work with exactly the same computer but with this new phone?

Cables do go bad but I have used Samsung Motorola and HTC cables on the this nexus and all have worked
