Didn't work for me, unfortunately. Saying either "drive to..." or "navigate to..." defaults to Maps, even after clearing all the Map and Google Now settings in the app menu. I actually prefer Google Maps 95% of the time. The 5% is a big problem though - there is no way to always avoid tolls...

Fair enough - but my question about how to block/disable the upgrade still stands!

So if I want to avoid the update (at least for now) how do I stop the stupid notifications that keep popping up? I have searched and found various how-to's saying to disable/force stop Google Play Service, Motorola Updater, etc - but either I don't have those under apps, or I have tried...

Right, but in the case where there are no active notifications (only the time), I still need to swipe down even though there's nothing to dismiss or view. Thanks, I knew about this but didn't really like the hold to select functionality - I found that often I wouldn't get it quite right, and...

Thanks, they must have added that in one of the more recent updates, and I missed it. Still not crazy over the giant letters, but at least I can more easily select multiple emails now.

Hi all, Just upgraded my wife and I to the Moto X on VZ. We are coming from GNex's on Sprint - finally got fed up with the horrible Sprint service in our area. Now, on to some observations and questions about the X. * How best to start music with voice commands? I have set Google (Now?)...

Awesome, this appears to do the trick! Music controls for apps like Songza still work on the lockscreen even after installing this, which is fine with me. I just hated that stupid empty rectangle flashing on the screen every time I unlock. And for the person who suggested just disabling the...

Edit: This was meant to be a reply to jontalk above about the $150 offers on Craigslist. I forgot to quote the original. There's a very good chance it's some kind of scam. There was a relatively new iPad on my local Craigslist lately for very cheap. I emailed them and the reply was a scam...

Hi all, Just picked up a 32GB N7 through a deal a local store was offering. My wife and I both have Galaxy Nexus phones - she is convinced the N7 is unnecessary but I got it anyway. So now that I'm up and running (for the most part) I have a couple things I have a few questions about. 1) I...

Re: Case Review: Blurex Slim Folio Tablet Case - magnet sleep/wa Hi all, Considering getting this case (Blurex or Youmee, they seem identical) but have one question/concern. When the cover is closed, does the hand strap rub on the screen; and will it eventually scratch or leave marks on the...

Well after using stock GB all day, I'm about ready to downgrade back to Froyo with or without rooting. One minor but annoying thing is that now when I roam, the roaming triangle icon blinks constantly, and the lock screen displays "Roaming Indicator Flashing" (uh, no kidding, really??). This...

Doh! I thought updating to Gingerbread would make things easier - isn't that what Gingersnap is for? Edit: ah, think I got it - Gingerbread is not the same as the firmware. Will get to reading.... Thanks again!

Thanks, everyone. I understand there are inherent limitations with this phone, but my memory issue seems to have gotten much worse lately, to the point where I have to manually clear the Browser cache constantly to avoid getting the warnings. Anyway, I went ahead and upgraded to Gingerbread...

Had my Optimus S for a little over a year now and have been mostly happy with it. The big exception is that I am always getting the "Low on Space" warnings that prevent incoming text messages, and sometimes even prevent the Browser from working. Usually, but not always, clearing the browser...

Anyone know if this app still works after the 3/17 firmware upgrade for Optimus S - LS670ZVD? On some other forums, folks are saying it adds Flash support and some other things which might be nice, but I rely on the Roam Control app at work to get a usable signal!
