RIP wallpaper scrolling

Besides removing this functionality the worst part is that they still act as if its there when selecting your wallpaper picture.

USB OTG works!! I can see my flash drive in the Settings/Storage, but can't seem to see it using ES File Explorer and my wireless mouse works perfectly. Anybody else try it?

EDIT: Astro File Manager reads all of my flash drives.

Can a Persistent Search Bar be put on the home screens like in the Nexus phones?

Playing with google now a little. It doesn't seem to talk alot. Ask it the capital of texas, and it says "the capital of Texas is Austin". Ask it other things like "how long will it take to get from here to MN" and it just pulls up a map. Ask it something strange it it does a web search. Siri seems to have an entertainment factor where google now is all business. Maybe I need to play with it more. Maybe that's the way it is? Either way it's pretty good.

I just noticed that :-\

Strolling wallpapers still works on certain wallpapers that have the feature built in where you can select it to rotate if you phone does not support it.

When it does talk, it is very very quiet. Is it quiet for everyone else?

 

[NastyNeil]

Nevermind. While she is talking the answer you can adjust volume accordingly.

I don't know if you used Siri when it was an app, but it was fun - I think Apple has not added a single thing since owning the app.

You can set it so the phone doesn't have a lock screen! Go into Personalize > Lock Screen style and it's the last option when you swipe from right to left.

On the camera there is a button on the screen to quick switch to the front camera.

You can now pinch to zoom in the camera app instead of sliding your finger on the little scroll zoom bar.

Does anyone else hate the new gallery layout? I can't find anything now.Suppose I'll get used to it and it will grow on me.

Edit: Ok never mind I'm a dumb-ass. I figured out how to change it lol.

My first instinct was I liked it... makes it easier to find new videos and pictures. I think it'll annoy me later.

When you hit the phone option under gallery you can then choose the old folders view
