I got it working because my phone is supported, so there's not really and "get it working" to be done. It works REALLY well, and the quality/framerate is excellent over 3G.

It works alright on mine even though it's not supported. I don't see why they just can't release it and say here's the devices we tested it on and if you run it on anything else buyer beware.

Because no-one will heed the "buyer beware" part, and it will cause them significant support costs and negative mindshare.

How does any other company have open betas then?

I updated Zeam to 3.0.2 and it added all of my applications to the dock

So I just removed everything from the dock but I want the applications button on there and I can't figure out how to get it back.

Does anyone know how to add the applications button to the dock?

I'm pretty sure you simply drag an icon to the bottom of the screen while avoiding the trashcan.

I noticed issues on the last Zeam update too. For some reason they added random things to my dock as well (but not all my apps! yikes!), and they also reset my action bindings for the workspace (I have a downward swipe on the home screen set to open the notification window, upwards for the dialer, and hit the home button to bring up applications). It took a few minutes but I got it all back.

That works for anything that has an icon but there isn't an icon for the apps screen is there?

I got it back now. I reset the Zeam launcher to default and resetting everything up again.

I've lost the little three-icon tray a couple times. It seems to hide if you swipe down across it just right. Swiping up takes a bit more of an effort to get it back.
Before I figured all that out, though, I relied on restoring a backup of my 'desktop configuration' in ADWLauncher. That also did the trick.
Now I'm pretty careful of making desktop backups.

He's using Zeam, which I don't think has a way to hide the dock.


There is. Long-press on a blank space on your homescreen, and it'll be somewhere in there. For me it's one of the first selections under "Add to screen," but you might see something different.

I wonder if the empegbbs can run the Tapatalk or ForumRunner software.
Would be nice to get empegged on the pocket screen.

Other forums I'm on use Tapatalk and I've already got that installed.

Neither support UBB.Threads it seems. I think UBB.threads 8 has some plans for slightly more mobile friendly layouts, but development on that version has been slow.

Ah well. Thanks for checking on it!

SwiftKey X is the free Amazon app today.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005D9MUWY?ie=UTF8&ref=mas_faad

I decided to buy when it first launched for $1.99, but anyone who is still on the beta should definitely grab it today. I started out thinking Swype would work better for me, and I'm still not as proficient on Swiftkey as I was on my Pre, but its recommendations are getting much better, and I'm slowly getting better at using it effectively.

I had SwiftKey does anyone know what's new in x.

That's a good question. As far as I can tell it's mostly color scheme

But seriously, I'm not sure. I assumed it was just the new version that they'd be working on going forward. I don't know why they wouldn't just continue work on the existing version and avoid confusion, plus it's kind of dorky in this day and age to add the letter "X" to the end of something. But it's the keyboard I use on my phone and my tablet. It does a great job.

If you're a current Swiftkey user, I believe you get the upgrade to the X version for free...

I got the last version for free on Amazon today I "purchased" version X and it replaced the one I had. I didn't try and upgrade before today I just saw it for free so I grabbed it.

The font on the keys and the word suggestions look different. Did the old one have the thing where it wants to search your email and facebook? I don't know if the old one had voice recognition.

I recently tried the voice recognition in Google Maps and it is freaking amazing now I have been using it everyday.

I think it had most of those things. I think they just reworked that button to change how the voice button fit into the keyboard. You can also hold that key down as a shortcut to the voice input.

Holding down your phone's search button is the shortcut to get the the general Android voice search/actions. It's so incredible to be able to - from anywhere in the phone - say "navigate to Starbucks," and the phone automatically finds the nearest business by that name and brings of the navigation app with the destination all set. Fantastic.

I also like commands like "set alarm for 7am," and the phone does just that.

So you can't rotate an image in Acrobat for Android right? I keep getting files that are rotated the wrong way then when I turn the phone it rotates the image so it's still the wrong way.

I suppose there is a way to stop the phone from rotating the image but it would be better if I could just rotate it in Acrobat like the desktop versions do.

So am I missing it or is it not there?

The only suggestions I have are to look through the options when you press the menu button, or to long-press the PDF its self and see if there's an option there.

Wow, it's not as big news as the Moto merger (which is now being discussed in another thread - thanks for splitting that out), but check out the story about Samsung hiring Cyanogen! That's pretty huge news.

It's also fairly ironic that Samsung, who IMO has the worst Android skin of all the manufacturers, hired the guy who makes the ROM that a lot of people use to get away from that skin. I hope he keeps up his promise to continue working on CM, and I'm extremely curious what Samsung has him doing for them. Is he working on their own skin? If so, that has the potential to be a very positive thing. Cyanogen (I can't not call him that) sometimes seems to know Android better than the Google programmers who make it. Perhaps he can make Samsung's skin not suck so much...

That is certainly interesting news!
Good luck to him. I'm flashing a new nightly right now, in fact, so I have a personal interest in his (continued) success.

I have a question for Tasker users (or anyone who has another idea of how to do what I want).

My old non-smart phone would pop up a message on the screen and play a little tone when the charging status changed.
"Charging" doo-beep!
"Charger off" bee-doop!

I've looked high and low for an app that would replicate this action on my 'smart' Droid.
Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful in my search. The problem is that the typical Droid indicators of charge status are only a few pixels in size, or in my favorite battery app, Battery Monitor Widget Pro, the (very small) text changes from red to green.

I need to be able to toggle a tone and/or message based on battery charging status.
Any ideas?

Tasker will do it. There are events and variables to check for current power source (AC, USB, or battery), docked/undocked events, and "charging finished" events. You can then just do a notify action or whatever you want to when the power status changes.

Awesome! I was just reading the Tasker homepage and couldn't see anything there about battery status changes.

Thanks!

edit:
Ah! The market info does say 'states - power'. Hadn't gotten that far in my reading. Guess I'll lean more heavily on the market in the future.

More questions from the Dummy.

I have installed and uninstalled a ton of stuff and my device is getting slow. Is there a way to wipe it? If I were to wipe it would I have to activate it with the provider again?

You can certainly wipe it. And no, you won't have to do anything with your carrier, you just have to set it up with Google again. When you power back up after the wipe, it'll ask you for your Google account info, and all your email/contacts/calendar should automatically return to your device. In most cases a large portion of your apps return as well, but I'm not positive about that.

But if you don't want to go through all that hassle, there are things you can try:

1) Move apps to your SD card. May I suggest our own Bitt Faulk's SDMove, a great app that shows you all the apps that can be moved to the SD memory. He also made SDWatch which will alert you when you install an app that can be moved.

2) Clear up some memory. Go into the app management area and select things like the browser. You may be able to clear some data or cache to free up space. This might clear some stuff you don't want, so by conservative about it.

3) Similar to #2, you can also go into the GMail app separately and scale back on the number of days and labels that get synced if your phone doesn't have enough memory to get too many emails. This is a big help, I've found.

I think there are a few other things you can try, but I just woke up and can't recall them at the moment Maybe someone else can chime in.

I have been moving everything to the SD card but some programs will not let me. I installed Bitt's app and it let me move some that I couldn't before. Thanks Bitt!

I will see if that makes a difference but I kinda do wanna just wipe it too. I am not worried about losing stuff I just don't want to activate again.

Oh wow! Thanks for the tip on Bitt's endeavors!
I'm running gingerbread, but SDWatch will do the trick for me!
Great idea!
