Hmm not sure if I'm having weather issues or if it's my fault with the file naming. It's perpetually sunny and clear :cool: I've tried changing location to manual to all sorts of cities around the world that I know aren't sunny and it's not updating. It'll be cloudy and rainy later this week though so I guess I'll find out for sure then.

Can anybody comment as to which is the correct way to name weather icons, with spaces or without? Help says without and other sources say with spaces. I take it it's also not necessary to have all of them? You need the base 5 icons and thereafter whichever extra ones you like?

*Wow talk about timing, I fiddle with it for the past 2 hours and it doesn't update. I post on here about it and look back and it's updated xD

Wind direction

I would like to have an item also for Wind Direction as well as the speed (in Wind Condition item).

Both Yahoo and OpenWeatherMap provide wind direction as number.

Is possible to implement it in next feature?
[Android Apps and Games] FreshFromTheGrave:
Try throw them into your UltimateCustomWidget folder on your SD card and then in UCCW go 'Open' and then 'Saved Skins' or something along that wording.

Widget has gaps on sides!

It was worse with holo, but with nova:

I have a 5x7 homescreen and I did a 5x4 widget, but when I have it at the size of 5x4 then it has big gaps at the sides although I've set all margins to none. What makes me lean more toward it not being a launcher issue is the fact that when I make it longer (for nova it 5x5 sufficed and for holo 5x6 if I rememeber correctly) it fits the screen perfectly from side to side.

And if it's because of something I've missed/done, could someone explain what and why is happening!

Thanks! :D

[EDIT]

Seems to be originating from somewhere in the desktop grid size settings part - in 5x7 got gaps, in 5x6 fits perfectly, in 7x6 fits perfectly, in 8x6 got gaps, in 8x5 got huge gaps. I think it could be classified as a bug....shouldn't it always fit it's borders perfectly (=not depend on the desktop size, when has the right size) ? A bit annoying, but luckily removable with a bit of a hassle!

Still one of the greatest apps!!

[MENTION=4452774]alliktaavo[/MENTION]

Lol, not a bug. That's because you have a custom grid size. If you want it to fit perfectly, you have to resize the background element of your UCCW skin.

[Android Apps and Games] alliktaavo:
Glad I could make someone laugh at least with my stupidity :D

Anyways I forgot to mention, that I did set the widget background as 5x9 as my desktop et the time was 5x9, but the first desktop size where it fits like it should - from side to side in a 5x4 widget - is on a 5x6 desktop and if I make my screen longer then the gaps get wider, on the right background the gaps take almost half the width of the screen.

Maybe it starts scaling weirdly because a mdpi screen just can't handle too many rows and columns?

Uccw widgets are a pain in the but to make flush grid sizes and widgets sizes and DPI sizes mess with them I found with the current uccw when u make a new widget just recreate it urself and manually recreate the skin and it fits better

I'm curious about the experiences of anyone who directly upgraded from the Droid X to the Galaxy Nexus?

I liked my Droid X from the start, but I didn't love it. Some of the things I didn't like, I just got use too and other things were addressed by updates and switching roms.

1) Screen was hard to impossible to read on a sunny day. Been improved between updates.

How is the Galaxy Nexus screen on a bright day?

2) Phone's speaker and ringtone volume was better on my blackberry storm, than the Droid X.

How would you compare the	Galaxy Nexus's speaker and ringtone volume to the X ?

3) How would you compare your battery life between the Droid X and the Nexus? Please specify, if your on stock or which rom.

These are a few points of interest, but I would be interested in other comparisons. I am clear that Ice Cream sandwich is the best feature of Galaxy Nexus. I am clear that the specs are better on the Nexus. I'm interested in specifics in how the Galaxy Nexus has improved your personal user experience or not, compared to the Droid X?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Screen is fine in the sun. Found that out today. Speakers are average.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justifi:
Fine, meaning better or the same?

" Speakers are average", meaning the same as the X ? A little better/ worse? Insignificant or noticeable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
My guess is that very few people have upgraded from the DroidX to the Galaxy Nexus. Why? Because it's not *out* for Verizon yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Hi,

I don't have the Droid X but I have had the motorola milestone (international version of the droid) and the speakers are not loud enough by all means. I would never expected such a low level of quietness from the Galaxy Nexus, but I don't use the speaker that much so it isn't too much of an issue to me. However, when watching movies in a fairly loud room is virtually impossible with the speakers on the GN. Also, while playing some games, I end up blocking some sound off the speakers accidentally by placing my hands on the speaker grill (e.g. while trying to turn the boat in riptide)

I haven't tried the screen in broad daylight, but I have heard from someone that XDA it's fine on full brightness.

As for the battery life, I'm currently on the stock rom, and it isn't too bad. With moderate use I can get a day or over but I have only had the GN for a few days so I have been using it quite extensively.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justifi:
I assumed that people in England had access to the Droid X since it's release and there are others in the states that imported the GSM version. Their experience would give me a ball park idea of what I'm likely to encounter, once it's been released. The Lite version is not supposed to be drastically different. Battery life and speed, should be the only significant difference. I'll still have better idea from what they have to say, than I do now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justifi:
Now that could hurt! If I recall an update in froyo helped with the volume on my X. It still not great, but good enough in most cases. I hope that google is aware and can improve it in an update.

How much time did you get on your milestone compared to your nexus on similar usage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CyberPunk7t9:
It seems the Galaxy Nexus has a speakerphone that is way on the quiet side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kaostick:
I actually upgraded from the DX to the GNex today. Or was it yesterday? I'm not sure at this point, its late. :D

I had to turn off auto brightness on the GNex to read it in desert noon sunlight, but once I maxed it out, it was perfectly readable, and I didn't have to create any "hand shade" like I did with my DX

So far, the speaker is a disappointment for me. I can barely hear the clicking sound during locking and unlocking, and notifications are a bit quieter. It's definitely quieter than the DX.

*EDIT* A few minutes on Google led me back to XDA (god i love this site) where someone recommended an app called Volume+ to solve the speaker issue. The free version doesn't seem to have much of an effect on the speaker volume, but I purchased the full version for, I think, $1.62 and after a few minutes of playing, the speaker volume is now perfectly fine. Sucks that I have to spend more cash on this crazy expensive device, but whatever, in the end the problem is fixed for me.

Battery life, for me at least, was another red x, but further testing is warranted. Let me explain. When I got my GNex, the battery was about 50% full, as expected. After about 4 hours, it was down to around 25%, and I plugged it in for an hour and a half, give or take 15 minutes. When it came off, it was at 97% and lasted me another 9-10 hours or so before it hit 14% and warned me my batter was low. My DX would usually last me around 20 hours. Rooted, stock rom, overclocked to 1.3.

What you have to keep in mind is that my DX times were through normal usage, where as today my GNex suffered EXTREME usage. I was downloading apps, listening to Pandora, texting, browsing the web, playing with the camera, running speed tests, etc... And while I was doing all this, the screen brightness was at 100% which was so bright it eventually made my eyes hurt a bit. Checking the battery usage, the screen had chewed up around 70% of the battery, Android OS was around 20%, and the rest was divided up between god-knows what else. Tomorrow I'm going to try to play with it less, and leave the screen at around 30% and see what happens. I suspect it will be MUCH better.

A few other tid-bits to note. The DX was easier to hold at first, though I am finding myself more comfortable with the GNex as time passes. The whatever-they-call-it skin on the back of the GNex feels like silky plastic. It's nice, but still plastic and as such feels a bit slippery. It also doesn't stick to denim at all, which means it slid off my leg constantly while I was driving.

Please keep in mind after reading all this that I am nit-picking all the little details about this device that I'm not thrilled about. All in all, the GNex is light years beyond the DX. Just about every aspect of it is better. The camera is superior, the call quality is better, the screen is brighter, crisper, and has better contrast. Even the data speed (no LTE in my area yet, so 3G apples to 3G apples here) is about twice as fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CyberPunk7t9:
Thank you for sharing your initial experience with the GNX.

But be careful here. If you see 70% screen there on the battery usage, it means 70% of last discharge cycle was due to the screen being on. Not the screen eating whole 70% of the 100% full charge. Unless you mean you checked the further details of battery usage now-featured in ICS 4.0. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knolly:
I also upgraded from the Droid X (Verizon) to the Galaxy Nexus (GSM on T-Mobile). Definitely in love with the screen, it's great in sunlight as long as you turn off auto brightness, like you said. I haven't used the speaker at all so I can't really comment but obviously you already know the answer to your question haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csimo:
I have been using a Droid X (on CM7GB) and got the Galaxy Nexus yesterday. I still have my Droid X with me and activated. I have the extended battery on BOTH phones.

Observations:

#1 I had hoped that the screen would be easier to read on the Nexus, but it's not. The notification bar is TINY and unreadable for me. The icons are exactly the same size. The color depth on the Nexus is far superior.

#2 The X on CM7GB is a screamer and is faster than the Nexus to open apps. Speed is not a big issue for me, but I couldn't go back to stock X speeds.

#3 The in-call volume of the Nexus is much better than the X. Not even close.

#4 The speakerphone volume is about the same on both.

#5 The notification volume on the Nexus is bad.

#6 The battery life on the Nexus is BAD. I have the extended battery and can't make it 8 hours. On the Droid X I could go over 16 hours.

#7 I rarely use the camera or camcorder, but I do use the flashlight functions. The Droid X had dual LED's and the Nexus only one. I tested last night and expected the X to be brighter but it's not. The Nexus single LED is quite a bit brighter than the X and is much whiter light.

#8 The notification LED on the Nexus is hit and miss at best. Sometimes it works... sometimes not. I get about 200 text messages a day and never had a problem with this on the X. The blink rate is very slow on the Nexus so you can't just glance at the phone and see if you have a message waiting... you have to look for a second or two to see if the LED will flash.

#9 I HATE the way the Nexus has the three dots for Settings. You never know exactly where the dots will be. Much of the time they're at the top right of the screen and you can't do simple things like deleting a text message with one hand. As a matter of fact things like deleting a contact is much more complicated with the Nexus. I can't think of anything I couldn't do on the X one handed, but many things need two hands on the Nexus.

#10 The signal strength of the Nexus just plain sucks. I can't make or receive calls in many places I could with the X (or any other Verizon phone I've had). This is the #1 reason I will probably return the Nexus.

#11 I thought I really liked the hard buttons on the X, but I've quickly found out how much they slowed me down. I like the soft keys on the Nexus except the missing Settings key of course.

I really, really, really wanted to LOVE the Galaxy Nexus, but there are just too many key items that fall short for me. Other's may not have the problems. 3G vs 4G means nothing to me since I don't live or use my phone in a 4G area.

I'll keep the Nexus a few more days. I like the color depth of the screen... didn't realize how poor the X was in that respect. I thought maybe a RAZR would be a good compromise but the non-removable battery is a killer for me. Maybe the RAZR MAXX will be an improvement in a few weeks.

That's my opinion... your mileage may vary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkhawkff:
I upgraded from the Droid X as well. I was running a rooted stock Droid X on Gingerbread. It was slow and really just not that great.

I really can't say enough about how much I love the Nexus. But...

1. Yes, battery life seems to be about as good as my Droid X was. Keep in mind, I could go about half a day on my Droid X before needing a charge (mainly listening to music at work all day). So this doesn't bother me.

2. Antenna is sort of a hit or miss area for me. I work in an area that has spotty coverage (actually, I think there's an issue with the tower nearby...). Somedays I get full bars, somedays I get no bars. This happened on both the Droid X and Nexus. BUT, I don't have issues receiving calls.

3. The notification volume really is hit or miss for me. It's either WAY too loud, or entirely too soft that I don't hear it. I don't believe this is an issue with the actual speaker, I think it's an issue with the ICS settings. I also miss that on my Droid X I could set individual volumes for both incoming calls and notifications. I haven't found a way to do this in ICS yet.

4. The camera (which really is a HUGE selling point for me, I have a 11 month old son that I take pictures of all the time...the Droid X sucked big time for this) is just plain awesome. The fact that it takes the picture when you tell it, was enough reason for me to get this phone.

5. The screen, for me, is awesome. I have an Asus Transformer, and I'd wager it's as good as that screen (atleast when it comes to looking at it). I know, I'm comparing a Pentile to an IPS screen, but ya know what? They do compare well. I haven't had issues outside. I don't use the auto brightness feature because, to be perfectly honest, inside it was too dark, and outside it wasn't bright enough. I set it to max brightness and I'm ok with that.

6. I can actually watch 720P encoded videos, and well. This might seem stupid to some, but I do this during my lunch break. Honestly, my Asus Transformer had issues playing some of them because of high bitrates or high profile encoding (Tegra 2 sucks in this regard). This phone plays them perfectly fine, without an issue.

7. I really am starting to dig the whole ICS OS after using it for 2 days.

Honestly, if you are thinking about it, take 30 minutes and play with the phone. Decide what features you like and dislike. For me, the camera was a main selling point. And the fact that I don't have to wait 10 months for Motorola to finally release an updated firmware too..... Another thing I'd keep in mind is that if you're grandfathered into the Unlimited data plan, you can keep that data plan and upgrade to 4G here. Even if you don't have 4G in your area yet (like me), why not? Soon enough, most areas will have 4G and it'll be worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kaostick:
Aye, this is what I was trying to say, but it was late and my fingers weren't really talking to my head that well, or something like that. :D

Update from last nights post: I managed to use my GNex the way I would normally use my DX, and after turning the screen brightness down, the battery had no problem lasting me the day, at least until I got home. In the last 3 hours, somewhere around 50% of my total charge got eaten up with Android OS sitting at 34% VS Screen sitting at 21%. The phone itself is also slightly warm, despite sitting on the desk. Further investigation may be warranted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamsungVibrant:
Is google working on a fix, or are the speakers just not strong enough?

Is Google going to fix the speakerphone volume issue or is it just a hardware problem with low quality output speakers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justifi:
It's a known software issue. It will probably be fixed in the next update. Most popular temporary solution until the OTA is an app in the market called volume+ sound booster. My volume is now louder than my droid x.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gasaraki-:
OK. I have upgraded from the Droid X to the Nexus.

To tell you the truth, the Droid X is a well made, well designed phone. I appreciate it now that i'm on the Nexus. Motorola really got the software tuned for the user.

I don't think you will like the Nexus. It is probably worst in all aspects compared to the DX. The speaker volume is lower, the battery life is lower, the build quality is lower, etc.

I am living with mine and hoping the battery bug in ICS will be fix soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Build quality is definitely not lowered. It may be plastic but it can take a beating. It is also so much lighter than a Droid X. Not to mention it comes with a unlockable boot loader. Something that the Droid X does not have.

Speaker? Volume+ it to +8. Volume is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justifi:
Unlock your bootloader, root your phone, and flash AOKP rom combined with the Franco kernel. That will take care of your sound and battery life. The build quality?? Put a case on it and you won't even notice . LOL.

I promise you, if you do those things, most of your issues with the phone will be solved. This phone will shine from rooting & roming!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
i upgraded from a DX too and the only thing i'm really missing is my functional cardock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
My wife has a DX. For us the only concern about upgrading is finishing the commitment on the 2 year contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
Well I got the dx the day it came out and the first thing people said was that the volume sucked. An update that November fixed it. The dx also had battery draining issues but gingerbread fixed that. Most problems will be fixed soon. Just like the dx was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justifi:
I agree with you. If you like to customize your phone, there is non better than the GN. If someone wants a straight out of the box phone, this may not be the one for them. This phone will continue to grow and develop. If you use a rom like AOKP with Franco‘s kernal, it leaves the X in the dust in every way. That combination and a few others makes it a great phone. The phone is still shy of a month on the market. The development is insane. If someone isn't interested in rooting and flashing roms, they will have not experienced the greatness of this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Galaxy80:
This is what I find ridiculous. We shouldn't have to do these things to our phones to get them to work right! It's like buying a new car, but the window handles are broken. Are you going to just put a pair of vice grips on it so you can roll your windows down? It would be one thing.if we only paid $100 for a phone,but if I pay $300 for a phone,I want it to work right..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinan:
It's more like you buy a car that works perfectly well as-is and then upgrade a few aspects of it to perform even better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] revthanki:
It's a DEVELOPER phone with a brand new revision of the OS, it's going to have bugs that will be quickly ironed out as updates will come straight from Google. If you're not prepared for that then you probably shouldn't have plumped for it.

If you've not had an iPhone before you should get ready for the creeping sensation that your nice swanky hotel room has the doors and windows locked...

Good luck!
