    Help One-click (no confirmation) picture delete?

    I subscribe to the notion that one should think before clicking on any button--or pay the price. Therefore, the constant need to confirm some action, such as deleting a picture, just drives me crazy. Is there a way to change this setting to a 'no confirmation needed' Delete action? Same...

    Help GNx 7 (2013) link icons much too small in Chrome's bookmarks

    One of the recent updates to my NX7 (2013, LTE) broke the Chrome Bookmarks formatting in the sense that now all icons are time, one per line. Is there a way/setting/app that would let me reformat the bookmark layout to larger size icons on a matrix grid? None of the Bookmark managers I...

    Help Installing older Maps on the new Nx 7?

    I do not like the new, crippled Google Maps, so I deleted them from my original Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone and re-installed v. 6.14.3 from an apk file. However, a similar trick on the new Nx 7 didn't work as I could not delete the new version. Has anybody been able to do that? Any suggestions?

    occasional/per day plan vs. prepaid vs. LTE phone SIM card swap?

    I'd like to buy a new NX 7'13 and use mostly wi-fi data connectivity, but occasionally, I'd like to have wireless access as well, for example, when traveling , especially out of the country. I do not want to buy a separate and continuous data plan as I will need data access occasionally...

    Why is my battery draining so fast???

    ...perhaps because the advertising modules are buggy and apps poorly written: 'No-sleep energy bugs' drain smartphone batteries Free apps drain smartphone energy on 'advertising modules'

    I use stock mail app for my corporate Exchange e-mail. Is there a way to increase the separation between the large Sender name and the Subject line? The Sender name is partially superimposed on the latter... I do use Large font, but still, the spacing should be adjusted automatically...

    Yesterday, after I've transferred some MP3s from my laptop to the Music folder by USB cable, my GNx started going haywire when reconnected to a USB port--it's been dialing randomly, apps are activating, the screen is jumping all over... What's up with that? Installing new Samsung drivers for...

    The photo icons for Direct Dial contacts are tiny, and 1/3 of the area of each is taken by the 'Mobile', 'Home' etc. title. Is there a way to expand the icon size to the full size of a single 5x6 cell or grid (I use Launcher Pro)?

    GPS firmware bug in Moto Droid (original)

    The supposedly perfect time displayed on the Moto Droid's screen by GPS Status v.3.1.3 (from EclipSim; no data processing according to Rudolf, its developer) is 13-14 s too fast in comparison with the time displayed by the NIST time program (The official U.S. time - clock), and my two Garmin...

    Problem with viewing OGT's GPX files in MapSource

    I'm using the newest Open GPS Tracker by Rene de Groot to record my travels, hikes, and biking and kayaking trips. Everything works fine except that the stored and e-mailed GPX files (v. 1.1) cannot be read by the most recent version of Garmin's MapSource (6.16.1) (Error message: "xx.gpx" file...

    smaller, and framed, contact icons after the 2.1 update

    I do not like the fact that my contact icons are still smaller--and framed-- wastinga few precious pixels on each side, after the 2.1 update. This is probably affected by the updated Gallery. Is there a way to change the icon size without rooting the phone? Or get rid of the useless icon...

    downloading and installing ALL available upgrades

    I wonder if there is a one-step way to donwload and install ALL the currently available (red-starred) upgrades to the programs loaded on my Droid. It's a pain, with 10-15 upgrades at a time, and 4 taps necessary to install each of them separately. Maybe somebody should write an app to do...

    For the last 2 1/2 months, briefly pressing on the top on/off button would turn off the screen, but today something has changed and this brief press no longer works. Any idea which setting controls this behavior? I looked everywhere I could think off, used Spare Parts--all to no avail...

    how to zoom in on gmail messages?

    I find the text of my gmail messages too small to read on the go, and cannot find a way to zoom in--is this a bug? Almost any other window or app can be zoomed in/out, but no zoom control in gmail, and changing the text size in Text options is a nuclear solution...
