    Handy search feature... Is this new?

    So I just realized this by accident yesterday. I have be a android power user since the Droid and I always found the search suggestions - as you type - helpful for finding previously searched things. But I always hated that I could't start typing, select a previous term, and keep editing. It...

    Power Control Widgets - That work in ICS

    I love ICS, but a few changes - they made in the back end - break a lot of the third party power widgets. The problems I find... - I can't find one that turns GPS off and on from the widget (like the stock power widget) without opening the setting page. - I can't find one with a usable...

    One thing Google needs to improve - Podcasts

    I love ICS, especially for the small things like the Google Music controls on the lock screen (even the secure lock screens). but, it makes their podcast app Listen look even more dated than it already was. i know there are quality third part podcasting apps, but you guys think Google will...

    This phone feels upside down..

    It is uncanny for me how I am always grabbing this phone upside down. I am coming from the OG Droid whose volume button is where the power button is on the GNex. But also, the notification LED and headphone jack are on the bottom. This phone just feels twisted to me. I am sure I will get used...

    Help Is there a way to hard reboot the GNex?

    I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I love that I can reboot the machine by holding the down volume and power button. Now, I know that is to do a screen capture on the GNex and it also has a removable battery - unlike the Tab), but is there a way to reboot the device without removing the battery or...

    Verizon Car Dock - Bitter

    So I was trolling tech blogs when I came across one that says the Verizon (LTE) car dock for the GNex will not charge the phone via the 3 pin connector. Instead, they have a cut out so you can plug in the micro USB. Now, I ordered one on Friday and now I am waiting for it to come in so I can...

    Help Bluetooth Audio (A2DP)

    Hey guys. I just got my GN from Verizon and I am loving the phone. I have come across one issue though. I have a few bluetooth adapters attached to some old iPod docs. They worked wonderfully with my Droid (CM7) to stream music and podcasts. For some reason, I can pair my GN with these...

    Root YouTube on Cyanogen

    Is anyone else having issues with YouTube on Cyanogen? Every time I try to fast forward a video, it pauses and says this video cannot be played... YouTube didn't used to do that for me on Pete's ROM. Thoughts?

    Clickable Photo Frame?

    So I waste a bit of screen real estate on my Droid with a few photos of my family. I just like to have a photo on each page. I was wondering if anyone has run across a Photo Frame app that is clickable to a defined action like "Call Wife". Anyone run across an app like that? Seems like a...

    FiOS DVR App

    I did a search first and couldn't find it posted already. I noticed FiOS just released a DVR remote app. You can now control your DVR from your Android phone. It is still missing a proper Series Manager, but it is pretty cool stuff regardless. Easy to set up too. Verizon FiOS Mobile v2.0.3...

    Facebook app in the market...

    Is this the same app that came pre-installed on the Droid? Is it safe to download so that you can get any - if any -updates prior to the Android firmware updates? I tried to find the version number of the one pre-installed, but I couldn't find it. Thanks.

    Music Player: The last to get revamped?

    There were two things about the Android platform that gave me the "it's still rough" feelings. The Gallery, which is now incredible with the leaked 2.1 gallery out there now. And, the Music Player.... I use Pandora, Cherry RPlayer, and TuneWiki and I never touch the stock music player. Has...

    Print Screen (non root or Home++ method)

    I found a easy way for you non-rooted/non-Home++ to capture your screens. Download the Steamy Window app. Run it and close it right away. Go to the screen you want to print. Press and hold the Home key. Run Steamy Window. Wipe away all the steam. Hit the menu button and save the...

    2.1 Build for the Droid already out

    Droid Gets An Unofficial Android 2.1 Build - Droid 2.1 - Gizmodo Looks like someone has already ported the Google Phones 2.1 build to the Droid. While I am not adventurous enough - or even have the knowhow - to install this update, it is good to know that it is potentially around the corner...

    GPS Setting - Follow me mode?

    OK... There is not real reason for me to care about this, but when I am driving - and do not need directions - I like to have the GPS show the "behind me" view of the map when following. So far, I can only get it to follow me from the overhead view. Is there a trick to get this view while...

    Unique uses for Locale

    I see another thread on Locale, but it seems to be focused on it technical shortcomings. I thought a thread about how people are using this app would be helpful. Now... I use Locale for the following: - Turning the ringer down when I get to work (obviouse one) - Turning GPS/Bluetooth/wifi...

    Easier Bluetooth pairing?

    I have a bluetooth adapter attached to my car's iPod dock. It acts like a bluetooth headset so I can play music wirelessly from my Droid. My problem is that I have to go through a few menus to connect the paired devises every time I get in the car. Is there a way to have the Droid...

    Viewing this site on the DROID issues

    Has anyone surfed this site on the DROID? When I try to hit a link on the screen, 8 out of 10 times it selects the whole screen and takes you to the Amazon ad link. I understand the site need ad revenue, but it is quite annoying to surf this site on my phone. Anyone else?

    Gmail resetting when replying

    I have a problem that I wonder if it is unique. When repling to an email (gmail) sometimes the screen turns white, it goes back to my message, and I lose everything I wrote. Has anyone had this problem? Is this just an odd glitch or is something set up wrong? FYI I use the tactile...

    GPS - Adjusting the destination locations?

    I am used to being able to take my current position on a map - or point to a position - and set it as a contact's position. I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the DROID. Even though it is still a bit buggy (beta and all), I love the application, but I have noticed that specific...
