    Anyone use TASKER?

    Fantastic app! Here's how things work in my car: 1. Plug in iBolt xProDock 2. Dock mode launches CarHome Ultra 3. CarHome Ultra enables bluetooth 4. Bluetooth connection to my car launches Tasker task to disable pin lock 5. Turning off the car disconnects bluetooth or unplugging the dock...

    Google Apps w/ Beans11 Build

    Wallet and Talk work flawlessly on Beans build 11 for me. I used the instructions at Google wallet WORKING on Note 2 - Page 90 - xda-developers to get Wallet working. I did a dalvik/cache and data wipe when migrating from stock to Beans.

    Anyone using a car mount for their device? And which one?

    I went with the iBolt xProDock coupled with the AMPS adapter plate and ProClip vehicle specific mount. I hate having devices in my line of sight, so it's nice to get everything down below the top of the dashboard. I also like that the dock puts the phone into Samsung's dock mode. I just...

    I'm considering a Note 2 (from Galaxy Nexus) and would like your advice

    While I do miss the massive developer support of my old GNex I've been blown away by the battery life of the GN2. With the old device I used to panic a little when I knew I was going somewhere that wouldn't have wifi or juice for my GNex, even with the extended battery. At 50%-40% I would...

    Is it a world phone?

    I just chatted with a rep and got this: Courtney: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today? Ben: Yes, I'm a little confused about what "Global Ready" means on your order page for the Galaxy Note II Courtney: I'd be happy to assist you. Courtney: That...

    What are you going to drop to pick the Note 2 ? Why?

    I fully intend on breaking up with my Galaxy Nexus for this phablet. I've never been overly impressed with the GN's camera and I'm drooling over that bigger screen.

    Ghosting/image burn

    Yep. I used to leave my screen on (auto brightness enabled) with Slacker Radio running on my 40 minute commute to/from work. After about 4 months the display developed noticeable ghost images where all of the white control icons and dividers were. It's really freakin' annoying when you're...

    Google wallet problem

    For me, installing the app is a form of protest. I find applying the workaround a worthwhile endeavor so that I may thumb my nose at The Man's feeble attempt to keep me down. Screw Isis and their persistent delays.

    Sorry, the "Infinity" in the other forum threw me off, I thought it was some kind of newer model or something :confused:

    Jelly Bean is here!!!

    Well, it's now official. My TF300 got the OTA JB update before my so called "Nexus" (VZW) did. Pleasantly surprised in Asus and hugely disappointed in Google. Enjoy! Bear Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Android Central Forums

    Scared to try Google Wallet on my newly rooted Bugless Beast

    I've used various versions of Google Wallet on both the VZW 4.0.4 leak and the new Vicious JB ROM without an issue. All I do before dropping a new Google Wallet app in or flashing a ROM is clear wallet data from INSIDE the app (in settings) and then clear the app data from Android settings...

    Car charger??? - reading in USB charge mode, not AC

    I bought this one and it works like a champ. The data pins are shorted properly and it shows up as charging in AC. More than enough to run Google Car Home with screen on, Slacker over bluetooth, and still increase the battery's charge. 1000mA Car Cigarette Powered USB Adapter/Charger (DC...
