I want to start by saying I do like Google Now and its Now cards idea in JB. But I am annoyed with the feature that trigger Google Now by swiping from the soft keys. It makes some apps' edge enabling features useless. For instance, I always do that edge-to-edge swipe to switch tabs in Chrome...

Is there a shortcut go straight to alarm? Right now, if I want to set an alarm, it is a two click process. I have to go to Clock > Set Alarm. Am I missing something? Thanks.

How to remove all Google search history? Right now, I can only remove three at a time... During confirmation, it asks me to "Go to Preferences for more options." There is NOT a "Preferences" anywhere... I tried browser's "Settings;" cleared all cache, history, cookies data, data, and location...

Using the Z4root (v1.3.0), I rooted my phone a few months back so that I could use the Wireless Tether, Titanium Backup, and Screenshot apps. But, I didn't remove any bloatware. Do I need to unroot it before the GB OTA? If so, do I just press the "Un-root" button in Z4root? Also, what is the...

A few days ago, I was playing with a demo Xoom and iPad. The Xoom is fine, except it seems kind of slow sometime (when I trying to pull up Google Map, the camera, or Youtube), at least it is slow when comparing to the iPad 1. Is it just the demo or for you guys too?

Just curious. How's the experience of reading PDFs on Xoom? So far, there isn't a nice ebook reader/tablet do well on that. Any comments from current Xoom owner?? p.s. I looked around in youtube, there isn't a review on that just yet....

Okay, I am kind of sick of the announcement of "Loss of Service. Verizon Wireless." Especially I am in the basement a lot recently. Is there anyway to disable that? I unchecked "Settings>Sound>Network Lost Tone", but it still does the same thing... Any idea?

I want to root so I can use the wireless tethering... Should I just use the z4root apps to root and unroot? (My phone is still in v2.3.15; can I still get the future OTA update and potentially to gingerbread after rooting? Do I need to unroot first?) What's the different between the z4root's...

I was told that 3G consume more energy than wifi; so I should use wifi whenever it's available. Is that true? Now, when the phone is idle (and both 3G & wifi are on), which one will it use? It seems 3G to me... b/c when I wake it from sleep, it seems to look for wifi again... So, does that...

How long can you battery last?? I have been using it extensively (well, it is my first android phone; so can't stop touching it). It last around 7 hours... Normal or what?

Ok, I am new the Android and the contacts is driving me crazy... My Droid X is now sync w/ both my Google (and Google Voice), and Facebook. On the home screen, there is a dialer icon (left lower corner) and a contact icon (right lower corner). If I tap the contact icon, it shows me a contact...
