Is there any rhyme or reason to how the folders in the Gallery app are ordered in ICS? I swear, they just appear to be in a COMPLETELY RANDOM order, and it is maddening. It's not alphabetical, it's not by date - what is going on? Has anyone figured out a way to bring some order to this mess? It's extremely frustrating.

I honestly just noticed that this morning while looking for a pic I just snapped. There isn't anything in settings I can see to change it either. Anyone?

Strange, since I saw this thread I went a looked too, I have the same issue. Very strange.
mine is sorted by album. You can change how its sorted by clicking the top left sort option.

The problem I'm referring to is that when it is sorted by album, the albums themselves are not actually sorted (e.g., they're not listed alphabetically). When you have a large number of albums, this makes it very difficult to find the one you're looking for. I didn't have this problem in the stock gallery app in Gingerbread or in Honeycomb.
Only workaround is to use 3rd party app, QuickPic. Works wonders for me. I just can't use the stock gallery.

I am seriously digging the new Gmail app. Very refreshing change from that boring POS old app.
I do wish I could turn of the conversation mode. Anyone figure out a way to do that? I haven't been able to do it.
i agree that overall its great, wish i could pinch to zoom in messages so i could see most or all of the email at once.
That's my only gripe. Can't see all of the email and when I try to swipe over to see more, it goes to the next email. Maybe a future update will make it better.

What changed? My memory might be bad but whats so different from the gmail that came with 4.0.1?
I'm running 4.0.3-238707 and seems to still look the initial ICS gmail app.

I think he's referring to the versions shipped with Gingerbread and prior.
Yeah it's a major improvement from the Gingerbread version.

Am I dreaming or is the option to edit the calendar for an existing event no longer available in 4.1.1?
Can someone with 4.0.4 confirm that you can change the calendar for an existing event? (As is, two what calendar the event should be under)
Thanks!
This is present in 4.0.4. You have to click on the calendar bit at the top of the event and it gives you a drop down.

Is that when creating or editing an existing event? I'm can't seem to be able to switch the calendar once the event is created under JB.
Editing. I'm not sure why they'd remove it. Anyone else on JB confirm that you can't change it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Can't change calendar of existing event either (JB 4.1.1). Even with a third part app (business calendar) I can't - the dropdown menu is greyed out!
Apologies... Just tried it again and I can't change it. I think I must have done it to a new event before. Sorry!
Looks like it wasn't possible in 4.0.4 after all.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Possibly a limitation of it importing events that were originally done in ICS?
Nevermind, I get it. No, I've never been able to change the calendar of an event as far back as I can remember.

I can also confirm it wasn't possible in 4.0.4. In fact, one of the main reasons I upgraded to 4.1 as soon as I could was in hopes that it was fixed in JB.

Thanks for the feedback, I guess I was not remembering this correctly. It's odd that such simple things aren't looked after by Google. The other one is the lack of rich text signature in Gmail.
I don't have any future dates to test, but I can't seem to edit past ones either.
I've never been able to do this. My wife sometimes places shared events under events that are just for her. I've never been able to fix that on my phone.
tab the event, look for the pen symbol and edit the event.
to delete click on the trash symbol
As the poster above says.
Works for me, I can edit entries just fine

Editing is fine but can you move entries between calendars? That's what the OP was asking? I don't think it's supported in ICS or JB.
Same here, can't change calendar when editing an event. I think this has been a problem since ICS as well.
location link to google maps
Hi you all,
It's not quite same problem, just I'm talking about the same app.
On ICS, as GB, Froyo, Eclair and so on, the Location field on any event could be understood as a link to google maps. Now, in JB it's not a link. Therefore, there's no easy way to use the navigator to reach to your destination.
Does anybody know a simple method to convert the location fields to google maps links? I have the same problem with Business Calendar, but given that this app provides a third party link I could use that.
Cheers.
When ever I put the library widget on one of my home screens and set it to all it works fine at first... that is until I go to the market to download an app.
When I go to the market with that widget on a home screen the fps of the phone drips to like 2 fps. Its horrible.
The same thing happens if choose a song through the widget and play it through the play music app. The entire phone starts stuttering like crazy.
Has anyone else cone across this?
Maybe a factory reset?
I'm 100% stock jelly bean

Can anyone check this for me and confirm whether they have a problem or not please?
Add the widget to a home page and select all when it ask you what to display. Click on like a song to go into google music and come back out and see if your phone lags like crazy.
thanks
I can confirm this, when I have the library widget on my home screen, it lags the nexus 7 very badly. it happens after it updates such as a new played song .I fix it by removing and re adding the widget.

Doing a factory reset probably wont fix it then.

Now iv been looking for a leaked apk of this all over. if you havent heard about it yet then jump on to your fb account and check it out. its been a part of my news feed for days. more that i read it seems this will be more of a rom than an app. witch confuses me because the way fb had worded it, it had seemed like it was going to be an app also. im no crazy facebooker like my gf but im curious to see how this changes things like the lock screen, home screens and the overlay of fb msger. does anyone have more info on this or just maybe a leaked apk they saw fall off the back of the truck and and point me where i can find it on the side of the road lol.
more infor if anyone wanted to read http://www.topapksite.com/facebook-home-rom-leaked-ahead-of-releasethe-droid-guy/
If anyone is looking for it here you go. Its not my work in anyway all I'm doing is pointing the finger in the rite way. Enjoy. Works on my phone fine

I was first thinking it was just something for the htc first. But now I'm under the impression that it's going to be a replacement launcher like apex or nova.
I thought it was announced? It's a launcher, but it's more integrated than other launchers as it also replaces the lockscreen and has that overlay. Personally, as a college student who uses facebook for communication and stalking his friends, I'd use it lol.

i read that until the official release on April 12th only employee facebook logins will work with the leaked apk.
I might mess with it to see what theyve been up to at FB, but I cant imagine wanting to use this as a regular launcher. Especially if its anything like their native app.
My understanding is just that it is a launcher that is heavily integrated with FB.
I personally will not be using it, as I cancelled my FB account a year ago. The air just smells cleaner these days...

So Facebook home was released today and after reading the requirements our phone should run it just fine. But they would rather supply it to the popular phones. Is there a sure way of getting the official release on our phone through the market? I know there's a way to change the play store to think this is a different device. How do I do that? All I can find are enablers that don't work on most phones this one included
Edit: never mind. That still doesn't work. Edited the build.prop and still no luck. Even the Facebook that supposed to have the "home" settings doesn't have it for my device. And the leak files won't allow me to log in. I'm assuming that has something to do with the device as well..

Hi all, I'm wondering if it's possible to take a screenshot of a specific area on the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Like say I open a Kindle book and want to capture a specific image or diagram and paste that quickly into OneNote. What I usually do is take screenshots of the entire screen and crop those images in the photo editor, but it's a little tedious if I have lots of screen captures... I played around with the Microsoft Surface tablet in a store today and got a little spoiled with the stylus and ability to import screen captures of specific areas so effortlessly into OneNote lol.
I don't believe there's an app that will do that, yet anyway. Would be a nice feature though.
But keep looking and post back, as I'm sure there's many that would like to use such an app.
We are just stuck with cropping for the moment

Thanks for the reply. ^^ There is a similar app called "Dolphin Screen Cut," but that's limited to the web browser... If I find anything else, I'll post here (and hope that others will do the same!).
Sounds good
