    Make Android device into cloud-based picture frame?

    Hi all, I have a cheap tablet that I want to make into a digital picture frame. It seemed pretty straightforward - create a shared album in Google Photos, then set up Daydream to launch at a certain time of day. Well, that would work great if the album wasn't a shared album. It only works...

    Accessories Good brand of glass screen protector?

    Hi all, I bought a two-pack of TruShield glass screen protectors. The first one had a "halo" effect because the far edges of all sides did not stick well. I thought maybe I just screwed up the installation, despite having done this many times on other phones. That first one cracked after a...

    Help Dialer issue with prompts

    Hi all, I apologize if this has been asked before, but searching a particular forum isn't as easy as it used to be here... I just got the Nexus 6, and I have a lot of dialer entries that use prompts (semicolon). For example, it dials the main conference bridge #, then waits until I...

    Swipe keyboard, but not swype keyboard? :-)

    Hi all, I really enjoy the swipe actions on the TouchPal keyboard. While it does have Swype-like capability (dragging your finger letter to letter), I prefer the "other" way it works. If you swipe up on any key, it makes a capital letter of that key. If you swipe down, it inserts the...

    Verizon update complete, no Knox??

    Hi all, From what I have read, I am in the minority that was looking forward to getting Knox. My employer forces us Android folks to use Touchdown, but the iOS people get to use their native email/calendar apps. I was hoping this would resolve that problem. I just finished my update to...

    Help Where can I buy the 40-pin connector/ribbon?

    Hi all, My Prime has had a finicky connector for a while now. It is now at the point where I cannot power on the tablet or even reset it (the light on the power button shows red). In looking at the 40-pin connector and the USB cable under a magnifying glass, it is clear that there are bent...

    Patuoxun Desktop Dock - with audio?

    So I picked this up recently to use at work, based solely on its description and price ($17): However, now that I have it, I cannot seem to make audio come out of the headphone jack. Does the Note 2 not have this capability, or do I just have a defective unit? I'm hoping someone here can tell...

    What is safe to disable?

    Hi all, Since I likely will not root this device, I love the feature to disable crap apps that I have no intention of ever using. Here's what I have disabled, what do you have? All Share Play Amazon Amazon MP3 Audible IMDB Kies Air Media Hub Music Hub NFL Mobile Viewdini VZ Navigator Zappos

    Using Google Drive files on Android?

    So, Google Drive is NOT the same as Dropbox, is it? I uploaded some audio files (ringtones) to Drive, expecting to be able to use them on my phone. However, when I find the /android/data/ directory and copy the audio files, they don't work. Even when I try an open then in Ringdroid, it says...

    Vice C64 emulator

    https://market.android.com/details?id=org.viceteam.sdl I'm interested in running this on my Play, but I can't seem to find the right combination of settings. Each time I launch it I get crashed back to my home screen. Does anyone have this working yet, and if so, can you explain what settings...

    Help Headphone output squelch, even with adapter

    Does anyone else get a weird squelch when using plain headphones with this phone? I listen to podcasts during my hour commute through an input jack in my car radio. The first day I tried it, I had forgotten the adapter that is part of the package, so I chalked it up to that. However, even...

    My Play has arrived!

    My Xperia Play arrived from Verizon this morning! So far, having not even played with a demo unit, I am impressed! The screen looks slightly smaller than on my Fascinate, but I know they are both 4" so it could just be perspective. I was expecting some big fat thing, but it is surprisingly...

    32gb Class 10 Micro SD cards that work?

    In posts here and in product reviews on places like Amazon and Newegg, there seems to be a lot of inconsistent results in using 32gb Class 10 Micro SD cards. I would really like to use that type of card given this device's emphasis on games, which should benefit from using the fastest card...

    How many of you have already preordered?

    I wasn't happy about the $20 preorder charge, but I did it anyway just in case this phone is more popular than expected or if they simply didn't order very many from Sony... Who else has preordered already?

    Xperia play benchmarks?

    I haven't found any benchmarks specifically done on the release version of the Xperia Play yet, but I did find this: http://androidevolutions.com/2010/10/13/gpu-showdown-adreno-205-msm7230-in-htc-g2-vs-powervr-sgx540-hummingbird-in-samsung-galaxy-s/ The Play has the same Adreno 205 chipset.

    Is the relative lack of marketing normal?

    Other than the seldom-seen (and creepy) commericals, I'm not seeing any marketing hype for this device, and I can't figure out why. I can't get through an hour of TV without seeing the Thunderbolt commercial, and it was promoted months ahead of its release. If the document found yesterday is...

    I *really* want it to succeed, but...

    will it? So, I currently own a PSP and a Samsung Fascinate. Sure, the Fascinate is fast and I've enjoyed the games that I can play on it - Angry Birds, Archipelago, Moblox, X Construct, etc. The problem comes because I want the same experience of the PSP on my phone. The lack of buttons is a...

    Help Repartition

    I don't like how Samsung gives us a nice 250gb drive but chunks it into two ~100mb partitions with a little left over for the hidden recovery one. I want to keep the recovery partition but have the remainder in one nice big drive. I tried out Easeus Partition Master but that doesn't seem to...

    Best place to buy a Fascinate?

    So I decided to buy a Fascinate over the Incredible. Here are the purchase options that I know of (I'm upgrading a family plan line): 1. Verizon = $199 2. Amazon = $150 3. Wireflyfriends.com = $99 Am I missing anything? I'm a little leery of Wirefly - there are some pretty bad reviews of...

    Picasa-like wallpaper pan-and-scan?

    Picasa has a really neat screensaver that takes photos and does a smooth zoom-while-panning-then-fade trick to make it looks like the pictures are moving slightly. I know it is a ripoff of a wallpaper changer that Apple has (or had) in their OS. I was wondering if anyone knew of an app (or...

    Help Landscape lock - all the time?

    Hi all, I would love to use my D2 in landscape mode all the time. I use dxTop for my launcher so I can force that to landscape easily. Many of the apps and games I use are landscape anyway. My question is about the lock screen. I know the lock screen does operate in landscape mode (with...

    How do I stop "applications restored"?

    How can I stop Google from restoring the apps I had installed? I wipe my phone and try to start from scratch, but Google keeps re-installing the apps I had installed. I do NOT check the option during setup to sync that data, and I even went as far as uninstalling them all before I did a...

    Root ClockworkMod Recovery

    Does anyone know where I can find the instruction manual for ClockworkMod Recovery? I want to know what each one of the options does, and when it should be used. If I use app2sd should I be wiping something extra when I install a new ROM? What does it do when it wipes the cache partition and...
