Thanks for the response Olieebur. I was under the impression that we were limited to search only one option at a time, but its nice to see that isn't the case. Thanks again

He's obviously been converted to Android now, so what's the problem? If iPhone was his previous platform, then obviously he's going to ask from that perspective.

Me too. Did they make this so international users could access fb w/ an app? If not, I dont see the point
With this I can upload videos to facebook something I either couldn't figure out or missed On the market app, I like facebook $ better so far but will keep both

Yea at first I really liked this. Its originally I think from the samsung wave and its android market. But this thing lags a bit. I too went back to the original one. Anyone else and their thoughts on this

Hey, which battery app is that? I have battery indicator which is fine but it takes up a slot in the notification bar. I like the one you have that just takes the spot of vibrant's battery meter.
Looks pretty good. I loved the messages tab.

I had the same problem. You should go to the link in the post. I know its not supposed to matter, but I made my screen timeout longer. It was stuck each time.... So try that out, it might work for you

I spoke too soon. Its very slow and doesn't have alerts. The best alert facebook app is bloo from the market. The Samsung facebook app is really nice but it loads everytime you go to a new tab or actually update your status or reply to an update.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I also suggest bloo 1.5 but it's not on the market, gotta Google the apk. I hate the official app because it takes you to the mobile version mostly.

Pretty certain mine is the ability to swipe the notification bar left to right to adjust the brightness (assuming the auto-brightness is off).
So, whats your fav lost feature?
I know I have posted a lot of these in the tips/tricks, but its been a year.. some are old and forgotten. Could be new to people. Maybe there are new Tricks since I made that guide.
Holding the menu button on the xda app to get the search feature lol
Edit : not working 0.o

The thing with numbers I think its called dial pad but you put in a sequence of numbers and you can actually talk to your friends. That's pretty cool.

Hold upper-right corner (around clock, battery, signal icons) - the screen brightness goes to 100%
Swiping the letters to get specific artist names in songs to the music player. Swipe it while swiping it and you'll get and even more in depth search..

Long press of back button to quickly back out of several pages. Handy on XDA app as well as browser.

Hi guys
Question: Does anyone know of an app, that can also give us Android users the kind of functionality on the Iphone 5 pull down? (See Screenshot)
I would like to see my mails listed, maybe the first 2 or so, with sms, weather etc?
I have looked, maybe this is a nice dev opp?
There are apps you use to get like this, but one single app, i think we still dont have...

yeah, sorry. I saw that. Perhaps should have mentioned it.
I'm on stock 2.3.4. and it said it wouldn't work.
so thanks for re-using the search function for me.
Don't get me wrong but the notification/widget implementation on iOS is not pretty efficient in my opinion.
I'd hate to be constantly pulling down just so see what's up with the weather or whatever.
I rather have my widgets on the unlock screen or desktop as Android does.
Cheers!

Press the capacitive search button while on the home screen. Or use the search app in the app drawer, or add the google search widget to your home screen. You might be blind.
Huh, I always thought that was the Call Sherlock Holmes button. Learn something new every day.

Thanks for this! I got the update through play store last evening. To be honest i'm not a huge fan of the new style, it seems very much like the iPhone version of google maps, which i'm not a fan of. I really dislike how the menu button doesn't do anything.
I went back to the old Google maps. Not a fan of the new one at all.

Love the new maps but I can't find the option in navigation to select alternate routes.

Blame Samsung for that one, Android phones shouldn't even have a menu button.
Is this not being updated automatically through the play store?
It is. Only if you didn't get it yet or what it early
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
Love the new look. Like how it gives alternate routes with time like Google Now
Like the new look, but HATE that they took some layer features out and also the traffic widgets! That sucks, so for now I'm not keeping the update. I had two traffic widgets. One for work and one for home. Really helpful for everyday I work. I know if I gotta bust A$$ and get moving or can take it easy and just go about my morning. Really hope they bring that back.

Giving it a go now. Didn't realize Gnow had a full page widget, but I still liked my lil traffic lights. One click and they showed green, yellow or red for traffic and the time it took. Pretttty easy to say the least. Giving it a try at least. Hope it works out. Thanks for the info!
