Yes, I forget where, BUT I believe it is in that big explorer window that has your phone pic in it.... There is an area in there settings-wise that will let you disable that. Hope this helps some..

Its in the quick launch..right click on the phone icon and you can set it from there

Close. Not Quicklaunch, but system tray. right click on the blue M (MotoConnect) and set it from there.

Ha I should have known that...my bad for checking xda at 130 am

[App] xda premium

I am surprised no one has brought it up yet here. Running great on my evo! Loads everything properly, which the free app waant for me. Loads it a little faster too so far! Hopefully they release more themes. Only negative is it doesn't seem to hide the status bar.

tapatalk is good too, is there a difference?
Is search still broken and does it still force-close all the time?

I don't have either of those problems on either app. I havn't had the free version fc a single time.
Thanks, works awesome and much better looking with more features

If you use your phone's search button within the App, you can successfully search? I get immediate FC and many have the same problem.
I'm more curious about the other FCs - that others have seen as well - when doing something random like changing a page or viewing an attached image. Seems like it happens most when the app has been open for a while. Can almost expect it at times. Might have to check this premium version out, didn't even know it WAS out! Thanks.

No problem.
I have never had any force closes doing anything? lucky i guess haha.
I can't help you with the search though, the rom i use has it disabled apparently.. didn't know that!

I fully agree with you with my HTC Vision running stock froyo.
Search is a 100% FC.
To avoid the other type I have always to get out the topic and exiting XDA App, before minimizing/doing something else.
Is this version solving?
I'll probably buy it just to support xda. However every single time I back out of a topic after I have been out if the app for a few mins or the next time I open it, I always get a force close. Every single time I can replicate it. I have to restart the app so it wont force close

I cant tell you... i never got these fcs... i must have a magic phone. I am flashing another rom haha. So i will tell you if search causes fc soon.
Edit: the search button does nothing at all now... lol
It's a good looking app... also Ad-free! Only available for a limited time.. so for a dollar, may as well get it while you can.
Paid XDA is still plagued with same issues as free. Back to tapatalk

I've just bought Tapatalk and it does not fc. The problem here is that the search button seems not to be an option to search inside a topic!!!

I get FC on search function and can't upload .png files? Kinda crappy. If those two are fixed i'll buy.

Looking for print screen program

Are there any programs out there that will copy the screen on an unrooted phone?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
not sure but i don't think so last time i checked all the screen capture apps required root.
There's an app called screen capture shortcut on the market that doesn't require root
not sure, but I don't think 'shootme' requires root, does it ?

Shootme used to work, but ever since they updated it a while back, it doesn't work anymore unless you have root. I can look for an old version, but I am not sure.
Step 1. Install the Android SDK
Step 2. Plug your phone into your computer and start up the ddms tool. (SDK/tools)
Step 3. Select your device from the list in the right pane of the ddms application, then select device -> screen capture from the menu bar.
Step 4. Whenever your phone is ready for the screenshot click save, and choose a place for ddms to save it on your pc..
I've heard dropcap says that it requires root but can really be used without it.

If you want one that looks exactly like the one from S2, you can goto samsung apps and look for task manager, this will give you the same widget as the one that s2 had.
Is a task manager much of a need anymore?

The task manager only says i have 1.62
stupid Samsung lied to us. :O
I assume .38 gigs is reserved for the system so it's not showing?

It removes them from the list. Just because there on the list doesn't mean they are running.

There will always be discrepancies between installed memory and storage space versus useable memory.

My understanding is the GPU requires this portion of system memory. Kind of like how some cheap onboard video cards in PC's used to. Which makes it all the better to have 2gb RAM. If not, you'd only have 620mb usable memory!

Dumb question but how do you sign up for a samsung account? When I first activated my phone I got a notification and started running through the samsung account signup but during the process the app crashed, I didn't finish, and it never notified me again and I couldn't figure out how to create the samsung account from scratch.

It closes the app. You can test this by going into task manager and go to the running apps. Now swipe away any of the corresponding app in the recent app(hold home) and then when you go back the task manager the app you just swipe will be gone or will eventually go away. Also your remaining ram will go up.

App that shows active network connections?

Is there an app out there that can show what is currently using wifi on the Nexus 7? I just picked up my tablet and I noticed that there is wifi activiy and I would like an app that shows what exactly is using the connection since I don't have anything running that should be having a constant connection? So kind of like a firewall but without the need to block programs. I just want to see what is using the connection
Just look at the notification bar. It is posted there.

The notification bar does not tell me what process is using the internet. The wifi icon just shows network activity. I want to know what is causing that network activity
Oh, my bad man. I thought you needed to know which network you are on. Sorry about that. In fact I've been looking for something like that too.
You could always try using the data usage feature in your settings to see what might be doing it. Go to it, wait a minute or so and then refresh it. Whatever numbers have changed in that time are the culprits.
Afterwards I'd recommend Droidwall if you actually do want to block certain apps from the internet. Assuming you're rooted that is.

Just showed up today on my S5 as well. One thing I did do was install WeatherBug. Wonder if they're icons used in the notification bar. Info and lightning?! Just a guess since 5 minutes of Google didn't confirm.

Just tested by uninstalling weatherbug. Upon reboot, the icons come back so I'm not sure what it is. Everytime I delete it after reboot, it comes back. Not a big issue but yes, it's annoying.
I have same issue. Damn it.
I guess the best thing to do to create a .nomedia file in the directory so it doesn't show up in the gallery anymore. That's what I've done.
