[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SS2006:
I had a question about photo syncing in ICS

is it like iphone where any picture is synced to my google photos (or picasa)

or is the only way to have google plus installed and enable instant upload

i have 'sync google photos' checked in account settings

but all it seems to do is clutter my gallery with pictures it PULLS from picasa/google photo

and not the other way around (sends photos i took online)

is this true?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] senf:
You can turn on auto upload in G+, and that should do what I think you're asking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SS2006:
I know you can do it with G +

My q was is Google Plus even NEEDED, or is gallery sync built in like iCloud
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinaryTB:
With my Nexus S, Gallery sync is included without Google+, but you still need PicasaWeb.

Gallery will still get "cluttered" with Picasa photos (auto-download is synced) and auto-upload isn't possible (unlike with G+), you have to manually "share" with your Picasa via the Gallery -> Share menu.

Don't know how ICS handles, I would assume similarly.

Uninstall your ICS Launcher.
[Kindle Fire General] Texanz06:
How do I do that.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire General] Texanz06:
My Kindle show's up in Device Manager, and I can open it in Explore is there some file I need to install or delete from there.

Thanks

It's an application you installed through Google Market. Uninstall it like you would any other app. At least that's what Google said when I Google'd your error.

I am posting this for my good friend ecooce. His words below.

"So some of you may know I now have an Epic Touch, and I just want to say I will be creating for both soon if all goes well.

I just wanted to show off the new Mugen 1950mah battery (which also fits the original Epic, actually a pertect fit). This thing is everything it says it is and better if you ask me. The numbers dont lie, I use my phone all day. I work 3rd shift which is the absolute worst on ones personal life, I may sleep 3 hours at a time just to try and do things on a normal time, its hard to explain. Anyways, I used the phone all day and taxed it several times with games, a movie, and some youtube. Screen was at about 40% brightness, auto rotate, no auto brightness. The ROM is old and built on Caulkins 1.5. I plan on doing all updates to 2.3.6 and may release soon.

And a side note to the OG Epic owners, I really miss interacting with everyone, we had some fun times, and I dont think any other phone forum will be the same for me ever. We had some real high moments,and people, even SINN I miss, I have to say. Other phones may get leaks, and have inside info, but no one did it like we did. I just wanted to say I miss you guys :( "
[Epic 4G Accessories] nathan951:
Nice, but $44??

I can get 2 1800mah oem batteries at that price.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Draghar:
Where can I find an 1800 ?
[Epic 4G Accessories] NiteTrekker:
I also question the capacity. These 3rd party battery vendors are known to fudge their numbers. While Mugen may be more honest than others, I don't think it's worth $44 to try it out. If the battery was really 1950 mAH, why aren't phone manufacturers using these instead of the smaller capacity ones?
[Epic 4G Accessories] TeamERA:
You are aware that the 1500mah and the 1800mah batteries are the exact same size right? So the same could be said, why didnt the og epic come with an 1800mah battery?
[Epic 4G Accessories] iviyth0s:
Mugen has always equalled overpriced crap that's just as good as generic but more expensive then OEM lol
[Epic 4G Accessories] TeamERA:
I have one also and I can say it is well wort it, and more so for an og epic owner, thats where this battery really shines.
[Epic 4G Accessories] TeamERA:
This is Ksmullins, posting this for a team member. Just an update on what the battery can do with an Epic Touch.

I agree with you
[Epic 4G Accessories] sceptor:
I moved over to the nexus so i have an extra 3300 seido with case in new condition if anyones interested
[Epic 4G Accessories] haveigonemental:
They most certainly are not, the 1800Mah batteries are just a lil bit thicker. Fortunately for us, there is just enough clearance to put the battery cover back on. It's a tight fit, but it works.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Hey guys, spent a long time on the phone with Verizon today. I bounced some information off of Tier 2 and some higher ups about what could be causing the Time Zone problem for those of us having the issue. They put in tickets for the areas I could remember off of the top of my head (Here and Arizona), and told me they think I am right about it being a server problem. They said a lot of us in urban or rural areas that pull LTE are on immature networks that are using assistance from servers in larger cities (Chicago for me), thus forcing me to Central time even though I live in Eastern Time. It looks like an HTC/Google issue to them being that they can patch the problem by using location information properly, and they said they will look into it and someone is supposed to call me back in 3-5 business days.

Edit: Also, if you are in an area where you are pulling 4G and it is just killing your battery, diable "Always-on mobile data" in network settings. It won't interfere with your apps and syncing. My battery life literally has about doubled today since doing this. I haven't seen any downfalls.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I don't know... doesn't Indiana always have a time zone problem, at least for half the year? :p

I remember being an hour early for a business meeting because we didn't know Indiana doesn't believe in daylight saving time. ;) Then I came back home and watched a West Wing ep where they missed their plane because of the time issue. :)
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Liberal douchebags changed that a few years back. We observe it now.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Why you gotta bring politics into this in that way? I'm holding my tongue... but it's not easy.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Probably because it was the liberals who were running the state at the time, making unnecessary changes for no good reason but to say they did it. You're having a hard time holding your tongue you should probably research what each party is ACTUALLY supposed to represent and re-evaluate your stance. And coming from a guy in Cali where you are about to be required to pay your babysitter as a full time employee, give them benefits, and breaks, as well as not make them work more than 8 hours per day, lol.
[HTC Rezound] MisfitsTimmy:
Come on, dude. Leave politics out of this. I appreciate you starting this thread, as I am having this very problem. But, leave politics out. Software and server issues know no political boundries. We all suffer the same issue.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Well, it sucks that it did get pulled off topic by that dude, but politics plays a role in everything in the US now, unfortunately. The Good news is, Verizon just acquired a whole bunch more spectrum from the big 4 cable companies, which could be premature of me saying this, is going to significantly help our cause. I don't see Verizon investing in last years technology if you know what I mean.

You must be pulling Eastern Time huh? Close enough to Atlanta like I am close to Chicago.
[HTC Rezound] MisfitsTimmy:
I live in Montgomery, Alabama. It's about an hour drive from the eastern time zone.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Im from just north of Birmingham... A few hundred miles from eastern time. I'm going into Verizon tomorrow to see what they say

[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
Have not had this problem yet. Did you guys have the same problem on your previous phones??
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Never had it on my incredible. It only happens when I use 4g. I can switch to 3g and the time is right

sent from my new Rezound
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Nope, and what is the point of going to Verizon store where they know nothing when I just old you what Teir 2 and above said? lol

It is whatever city is hosting your 4G traffic, for you guys it is probably Atlanta. And saying Montgomery is a "few hundred miles" from the Georgia state line is a huge exaggeration dude. It is less than 100 miles. It has nothing to do with tower location it is where traffic is routed.

I lived in Columbus while I was stationed on Ft. Benning, so I know for a fact you are overshooting it.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
First I don't live in montgomery, I live north west of Birmingham. It IS between 150 and 200 miles from where I live to the georgia state line which is where the time zone switches.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Yea, driving miles while driving South before turning to drive East, lol. You know that your phone doesn't take the highway right? Still not "Several Hundred Miles".

It is NOT 150-200 Miles, lol.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Never said several hundred. Read before you talk down to people. I live close to the Mississippi line so it is 150 to 200.

sent from my new Rezound
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Hmm, unedited quote from a guy who is listed as living in Cullman. You aren't winning this. Looks like ~89 miles. And Atlanta is a bigger city than Birmingham, etc... So again, since you are pulling Easter Time Zone, and I am correct about what I have stated, how about you go cry to Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Actually they fixed it. Surprising I know. And I did live in Cullman, not any more.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Oh, they "fixed it" by turning automatic off, lol. There isn't just a "fix" that Verizon could do in the store. It is a server problem. The rep in the store doesn't just decide that your phone doesn't need to run through Atlanta anymore, Troll.
[HTC Rezound] PrsnlCrcl:
+1...I would use that option as a fix except that any of the Verizon apps that require you to be signed in through Verizon require that it be set to automatic. I use the NFL Mobile app a lot and if I have automatic off, it tells me it has to be turned on for the app to function. It is frustrating because I either have to turn automatic off at night, or ensure I am not on 4G or I cannot trust that my alarm will go off. I am in Arizona. We need a true "fix"...not a "work around".
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Yea, I had the same issue. I don't use NFL mobile much, but when I did try I had the same result. I noticed it while trying to use MyVZW to pay my bill. Verizon Tier 2 manager said they were going to put in a ticket to at least patch the apps that need automatic time to work on our phone if nothing else.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
No it's still on automatic. I've noticed you like to talk down to people. I would appreciate you taking your snide comments elsewhere.

sent from my new Rezound
[HTC Rezound] xander0306:
I would think this is an issue on Verizon's side. But my tbolt is set to automatic time and does not have the issue and AFIK no other sense phones are affected by this. So could it be a software issue on this phone? Perhaps there is some poorly written code that's not using the server side info properly
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
How about you leave my thread since the only cause of issue here is you :rolleyes: Without proof, they didn't fix anything, which still proves you are a head case.

Yea, they basically blamed HTC and Google. I would assume it is more HTC's problem than Google's though.
[HTC Rezound] erismaster:
As of yesterday(first I've noticed) I'm no longer having the issue. I had to do a factory reset yesterday to get out of a random bootloop and it worked properly since then.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I don't have any other issues, so I am not going to try it. You are in Elkhart right? I only ever had the issue in South Bend, not Elkhart.
[HTC Rezound] erismaster:
Yeah I was having the issue in Elkhart and south bend/mishawaka. I wouldn't have it when I went out of town. Oh well. I put it back to manual cause I don't trust it and use my phone as an alarm.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
lol, same here. Ever since I came back to the US I have relied on a phone for an alarm. Convenience! I am becoming more and more tempted to buy a real clock now though. Just random issues with all the smart phones I have had. Plus, when I used to commute from LaPorte to South Bend I had my phone on manual since LaPorte is Central. They make it such a pain in the ass with the clock in the Verizon apps, and for what reason?

I agree, I easily get 4+ hours of screen on time with the stock battery. Hell I used it yesterday including an hour of NHL live and still went to bed with 35% left after 14 hours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Henri Blanche:
I've had the Mugen battery for over a week now. It adds about an hour to a full charge. It actually weighs a couple grams less than the stock Samsung battery. Yes, it's pricier than some of the batteries on eBay but I've had good luck with Mugen batteries in the past. Shipping speed was okay considering it had to cross a large pond and I had to sign for it at the post office which is pretty secure. Overall I'm a happy customer. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
Actually, it IS 8.3333% more. 108.3333% more would mean 208.33333%.

On the other hand, if you said "This battery is 108.33333% of the original battery", that would be correct. "More" is saying you are adding that percentage to the original percentage (100%).

I was looking on amazon and found some extended batteries I might give a try.

One by Samsung that's 2000 mAh

http://www.amazon.com/CHICHITEC-2x2..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1323576920&sr=1-6

There's another one by Seidio....3200 mAh...This one does require a new back cover because the battery is fat. The back cover comes with the battery. Similar to the bigger extended batteries for the Evo 4G and Evo 3D

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BACY32..._17?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1323576920&sr=1-17
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanyewest:
Please stop biting off flosscarter.... This battery right... Is a GO..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
I'd never do one of those Seidio giant batteries, personally.

Fundamentally, the ET4G has a slim, lightweight, upscale design - that sort of thing would ruin it entirely. "If you had to", that's one thing... but that would be a hell of a lot of use for a phone that already has good battery life.

I love the idea of a drop-in replacement battery like that Chichitec one though, or even the Mugen one.

The Chichitec one seems like a good deal. The Mugen one... not such a good deal. Part of me wants to say "you get what you pay for", but I've been around the block a few times. There's great deals to be had on these accessories, the OEM's have such obnoxious markups on them that when the Chinese manufacturers sell them direct, the real prices come out.

I suspect the real deal here is that Mugen's prices are simply close to OEM prices. Anyone use those Chichitec batteries? Reviews on Amazon were all positive.

man I don't know what I am doing wrong but my E4GT has horrible battery life.

way worse than my touch pro 2. not even close.

maybe its just "new phone" usage IE using it a lot. I got an extended battery (3950mah) and WOW what a difference. I can get through a whole day now (usually)

I keep hearing wow amazing battery life and wondering what I am doing wrong :-) gonna try that new low power usage rom soon.

besides battery life the phone is the cat's meow. freaking love it.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong but those won't work for our phone I thought. They have to fit into the OG Epic and those don't unless i am mistaken. A 2000mah would be just right though and could still be charged by the factory cord in the phone, no?

I might be wrong, but those batteries look like fakes. The reason I say that is the decals and printing don't look like all the other Samsung batteries i've owned. The font looks different and three symbols and layout looks different than real batteries. Looking at the charger, it appears that the charger will not charge extended life batteries for the epic touch. The reason I say this is if the arrow on the battery is true, the contacts are on the wrong side to charge the bigger batteries. It needs to be on the right side. You can flip a stock battery with that charger, but you can't flip an extended.

Also does anything else need to be checked / unchecked.

Reason I ask is I am probably going to flash a rom that uses base kernel and will be losing root. I will need to flash a different kernel to get root back.

[Kindle Fire General] mojohn:
I have the same problem, and would be very interested in hearing an answer!
[Kindle Fire General] EABonney:
This is a known issue and there is as of yet no workaround. What I have done and what most people have done is to set a short cut on the desktop for the Kindle Launcher. Then you can select your books/newstand etc. Not the most ideal but it is what we have until Amazon releases a fix or some crafy dev comes up with a better fix in a custom ROM.

[Kindle Fire General] mojohn:
Thanks Eric!
[Kindle Fire General] gadgt:
Just found a workaround. Searched kindle in the market and updated the app. This installed the version that would usually be used on an android device and shows your whole library.

edit: Just a warning, there seems to be no way to make this kindle app full screen. It has the navigation bar (albeit the minimized one) and I'm pretty sure it used to go full screen in the stock kindle app. Also this new kindle app wont work from the stock launcher. I'm thinking about switching back for these two reasons (mostly the full screen thing is bothering me), anyone know how to revert back?

edit2: Also the slider that allows you to quickly jump between locations in the book is covered up by the navigation bar.. Very annoying. Wouldn't recommend doing this unless you don't need that. You can still manually "go to" a section of the book but I'd rather have the slider. Just did a factory restore to get the original kindle app back.
