So I thought my phone was just glitching out when I couldn't rate apps on Google Play. It's unbelievable that they are forcing Google+ down our throats. It's unacceptable.

I've seen a few shills posting excuses, talking about the reliability of anonymous reviews, or users being rude in their reviews. First, that's what the "thumbs up" system covers--just like Reddit, the anonymous users will filter the valuable comments up and force the garbage down--it works perfectly well. Second, if I spend money on ANYTHING and feel it's ****--it's my right to speak out about it--if I choose to be rude, that's my choice. I personally choose to give positive forms of correction, but that's me, I find it more fruitful. A person shouldn't be forced into political correctness, nor forced to behave how I, or others who think like me, see fit.

If google want's to give incentive to join in the new rating system, like tags or avatars, that's fine--but simply forcing me to join their service in order to talk about an application I downloaded/paid for, from a developer who does not work for google, just plain sucks.
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Oh wtf... this is the first issue ive had with google...does an old market version change this at all...I refuse to have to use their social networking for my apps. If need be I can get everything elsewhere
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
I haven't tried the older market, but it's certainly worth trying. I really hope this isn't successful for Google, if it is, I fear the next step will be "no market access/downloads, without Google+ account".

This is just such a scam. We already have to sign into the market with a gmail account. Now we have to use G+? It adds nothing to the market, it's just a scam to increase user base.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I thought everyone already had a G+ account. You just have to sign into it.
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
That may be the case, I have no idea as I completely reject all social tracking tools. My stand is this, if you're not one of the 131 phone numbers in my contact list, I don't need updates coming from you or going to you. My contact list IS my G+, Facebook, Myspace, Jdate, Linkdin, Twitter, Friendster, HeyLookI'mTakingaDumpRightNowster, etc.

So if they've already "gifted" me the account, that's fine, I still don't want to install the app. The review section was working just fine in my opinion. /rant ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Why would everyone have a g+ account? As I recall it was invite only for a good while and that led some of us to pretty well despise the "service" I have no intention of creating another social network account... it has nothing to do with reviews and has everything to do with trying to push g+
[Motorola Droid X2] Drunkula:
Well since they forced the Play Store into that mode I have since cancelled my G+ account. I didn't mind having G+ but I didn't use it much. I see it as nothing more than an inconvenient way for Google to pump up their membership numbers. Now I can neither praise or chastise app developers as I see fit (without emailing them).

Shame on you, Google...
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
I un installed the updates to my playstore and it let me post up a review just fine so older versions are good yet
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
Good to know, thanks for being the test subject.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
The only thing I know about Google+ is that it exists. Could really care less lol

Ok... I'm stepping out of my league here so I'm asking if someone can help me with a favor.

I'm using a theme that I absolutely love except for the keyboard and the nav bar keys. Is there a way to delete in the script the preferences to override the original keyboard and nav keys so that I can use the stock theme settings?

Or am I going about this the completely wrong way?
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Tally I think you have to go more of the file swapping and editing your theme by switching the themed keyboard files and stock files with 7zip and re flashing the modded theme zip
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Thanks! I was afraid of that lol

Well.... This will be something to get my feet wet :cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Haha tally message a themer I'm sure one could help. I would if I knew what I was doing, but I don't.. :crying:

Also haven't been here in a while and this thread opened to page 608 and tally I saw you asking about downloading while on a phone call. Welcome to 4G. :) data is handled by 4g lte radio and voice is through 3g CDMA radios. Both radios in use doing their own thing. When I used to tether on my ps3 over 3g a phone call would kick me off because the call would come through and suspend data use. Now on 4g my ps3 gets 4g service the entire time and if I get a call I don't get kicked because the 3g radio picks it up. Neat stuff :D

Any ways, how many of my nexus buddies jumped on 4.2? Not going to lie, I HATE every little thing about the lock screen. The lag. How awkward it feels trying to swipe from panel to panel. Its like I have to push on my screen and force my finger to the side of the screen to change widgets. Not just a simple swipe. Also it takes less time for me to unlock the phone and have full access to my widgets + info than having to wake up the phone, swipe to a widget, read half of what I want to, click it, have to unlock my phone and then finish. Plus the camera takes like 3-4 seconds to load after opening it from the lock screen. Ugh Google needs to take a page out of apples book or something man. (Blasphemy I know:p) iPhone camera from the lock screen opens immediately with a simple swipe.

Just seems to me that 4.2+ seems buggy as all hell right now. I keep reading all these amazing things in PA thread, eclipse, xylon, etc. and I get all built up and psyched and I flash any 4.2 ROM with high hopes and idk I don't like it. always end up back on 4.1.2.

Idk I think 4.2 sucks in general and no offense what so ever to all the devs working on it, I blame Google. Key lime pie better be boss ferreal yo.....
[Motorola Droid X2] csking33:
I have to agree with you. Pretty disappointing update, and I really don't understand the need for lock screen widgets. I like the idea of photo sphere and the swipe keyboard. I've been on the latest aokp test build since Saturday I think and it's alright. I wish there was a way to disable some features though. I'll probably end up back on CNA before the end of the week.

Also, is Bluetooth broken on 4.2? It won't stay connected to my car stereo unless I'm playing music.. Worked fine before
[Motorola Droid X2] bbrad:
Everything is golden on hellybelly 4.2.1 for the Samsung fascinate works like a charm it has all the features of before and runs faster than before except it now has 4.2.2 cant go wrong there :cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Ok, I gotcha. Thanks!!! I was wonderng about that for a while.

I don't reall have any complaints about 4.2. I knew ahead of time the camera just wasn't gonna be snappy fast. You know...like those "other" paper weights some people call phones. But my lag is very little, if any at all. I really haven't had any bugs or issues out of the norm with 4.2. It seems to be trucking right along. Dirty flashed and still runng great. My tolerance for somethings are higher than others. If I was gonna be nit picky, I could go on for a while. But the overall 4.2 experience is rather nice. I like it!

My Bluetooth and tethering hasn't skipped a beat. I've read where some have had some issues but were gone after a clean wipe or a fresh download.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Can't really say because I never stay on 4.2 long enough to even set up everything how I like it lol. I feel like my POS Stratosphere ran Gingerbread better than my dual core nexus runs 4.2+ lol.

I don't really care though I have no problem staying on older PA versions for now. DarkPA that is :cool:

Which reminds me I heard DaXmax, the dev who used to build darkPA (who does xylon 4.2 ROM) is only 15!!!:eek::what: Sooooo crazy lol.

[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
4.2 is about as fluid as 4.1.x for me. I actually really enjoy the Lockscreen widgets. I'm constantly going in and out of my calendar or checking twitter and hitting the wake button and swiping to the left makes me happy. I do get the occasional visual artifact spazz out (3 widgets stacked on one another but only one functions) but those are very rare.

I also like the new app animations.

I'm not happy about not being able to pull down and reply to a text message within the status bar. I LOVED that feature in 4.1 and I can't understand why Google got rid of it.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I watched a video where even if you have a pin/pattern lock on your phone, you can still swipe over and read the widgets. I dont think a lot of people like that.

And are you sure that the notification reply button was a stock 4.1 thing or a cyanogenmod thing?
[Motorola Droid X2] csking33:
Yeah I'm coming from a full wipe. It doesn't have any issues if it's in use, just won't stay connected any other time.

Works like a charm, thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I never quite figured that out. I used 4.1.2 eclipse until 4.2 but didn't read change logs. I wouldn't be surprised if that was true.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I have a feeling Cyanogenmod introduced that with CM10 but I dont know for sure.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
That was also one that Nitro tossed in to one of his earlier builds. It had the option to call back and message.

Does anyone here own a PS3 and use their android device to control YouTube on their TV with it? I've done this at my house during some get togethers and people are usually impressed by that. It was cool to use with my tablet and just pass it around for people to pick music videos and stuff. I checked one of my friends iPhone YouTube apps and it didnt seem to have the option to connect to the PS3 like Android does. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] bbrad:


I got a ps3 ill have too try that where is the option at?
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
On your android device, if you hit the menu button there is an option that says Add YouTube TV. If you tap that, It will ask for the pairing code that your YouTube app on your PS3 gives you. I forget exactly where it is on the PS3 but its a big option that is hard to miss.
[Motorola Droid X2] csking33:
Can any nexus people out there recommend an extended battery? I checked amazon, but there's a ton of options. Would like to hear what you use
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I use a hyperion 3800 mah battery. I get roughly 5 hours of screen on time with WiFi and 3.5 with 4G. I basically stole it from Amazon for $15. It's huge but you'll learn to like it alot.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:

Man, I want a Galaxy Nexus so bad... :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Hahahaha Tally.....

Um I use my nexus to connect to my ps3 but I dunno I think something is messed up.

I can't stay logged in. Every time I quit the YouTube app on PlayStation it logs me out :confused:

So every time I have to go on a computer or YouTube desktop site and get a code and authorize and blah blah blah to log in again. Not sure whyyyyy. :( anyone else?

Oh and I use a 2100mah extended battery and get average of 3hr screen on time with pretty freaking moderate usage. Can't speak for WiFi I don't have it currently lol.....
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
You shouldnt have to go to your computer at all. Everything is done between the PS3 and the Android device. Once they are connected, it should remember your device every time. You just have to press the little icon at the top of your android YouTube app when both your PS3 and Android apps are open to connect them.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I have horrible battery life and I am on the stock battery. But, it is mainly my fault. I have everything on the least efficient setting such as updating email, websites and weather as much as possible. But I'm not complaining. I like for it to be up to the minute on some things.

Now... on a side note. Recently I have been disabling my mobile data when I'm away or just not using anything that would require mobile data. Kind of like Juice Defender but seems to work better. MUCH MUCH MUCH better! I have noticed a very significant increase with my data switched off. I can still call and text, so I'm not completely cut off from the world. I wish I had a toggle for switching that off. Airplane mode just kills everything. Not running the radio and/or Wi-Fi, or should I say not utilizing it as often, helps ALOT.

Is anyone else not getting google now notifications? Mostly the weather one? I'm just wondering if its due to my ROM or a google server thing. I know they just pushed out an update for Google Search but it just force closes on me so I had to go back to the previous version.

Again....I really want a Galaxy Nexus. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Not really noticed anything..... Seems to be ok :confused:
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well I noticed since yesterday that the notifications just kind of stopped showing. I turned google now off then on again and it briefly pops up with a toast notification saying something about latitude and to check my location settings in maps. All my location stuff is turned on so I dont know what else to do. The weather card still shows up. Just not the notification. Like I said, this all happened yesterday when the update was released. I also noticed on my TouchPad that maps was updated too but my phone hasn't gotten it. I'm just wondering if these updates had something to do with it. If so, this sucks because the google now update just force closes on me and I cant use it.
