Galaxy Nexus Tips And Tricks

Volume+ states it's for gingerbread only. No good for ICS.

Works perfectly for me. Go blue!

Is there a way to use folders in Gallery? If not, is there a good app for a gallery organizer?

I just found this. When you go into the Gallery. You can then select the "Albums" it drops down to so you can sort Locations, Times, People, Tags.

I was watching a guy review the phone on youtube and he had made a contacts folder. When he clicked on it, the symbols for the contacts actually came up in a circle and started rotating on the screen. Anyone know how to do this?

QuickPic works great for me.

+1 for me as well.... Super clear and fast

BTW... one quick question, I read above that people are disabling live wallpaper... are you really "disabling" them or just not selecting them from the wallpaper setting...? if there is a switch to disable the live wallpaper, please advise location.... Thanks...

Just not selecting them.........................

I dont have the phone right now. But go into settings>developer settings>animations>select none on both.
If memory serves me right.
And make sure u turn off live wallpaper

Not seeing this option ...

Never mind, it's under Window/Transition Animation Scale ...

Circle Launcher will do this. I've been creating single tile contact Widgets and putting them in a folder.

Volume+ works fantastically on my Gnex ...

Yup, works great. Fixed my low volume issue.

Two questions if anyone knows. How do you enter private browsing (They said they was a feature in ICS)

Thanks guys!

Click the tabs button on top right then click the menu.

Any idea to get the keyboard to disappear after you enter something on a form thats really annoying

I wonder why I don't see the app named..Volume Plus on the market?

That's what i hear it being called. I see Volume control + but the interface doesn't look like what i've seen.

If you use Face Unlock, and don't want to wait, you can click the lock button right away and enter your pin or swipe code.

doesn't work for me. It just locks the phone back up.

I think I found it. I guess I shouldn't have used a space after the word volume.

I'm getting absolutely no volume difference with the song I'm playing using this.

oh wow..thanks for the tip. As far as hiding the keyboard, I haven't been able to figure it out.

To hide the keyboard after inputting text, just click on the system back button.

QuickPic works great for me.

Thanks for the reply, used QuickPic in the past, worked good but wanted something a little better. Just paid 139 pennies for Media Organizer and it is exactly what I was looking for, GREAT APP!

You have to enable it first. Go into Settings > sound > Music effects > Music effects control panel and select Volume+ instead of MusicFX

I've been trying to figure out what to do with the videos that I take with my Nexus. I don't see an option to upload them to Google+....it does pictures though. The only way I seem to be able to get them out of my phone is to connect it to a pc and drag them out. I'm curious if anyone knows what I may be doing wrong.

There's an option in g+ to upload videos too. I think its either defaulted as off or wifi upload only. Gotta mess with the instant upload settings.
