I am trying to add my blog from blogger on flipboard I just installed on my SII. Anyone know how to do that?
I think your best bet would be to add your blog to your google reader account then add your google reader account to flip board. Maybe that will work.
That is done by taping the magnifying glass in the top right corner then tapping "Accounts"
You could also just search for it but it may or may not come up.

Lovin' everything about this phone at the moment but just a quick q' about the satnav element of google maps... On tomtom you can be set your current location as a favourite from the on screen menus, I haven't been able to find a way to do this on this google nav, is it possible?
sorry, can't find a way to edit the thread title - should read Google NaVigation query-
When you get google maps to find your current location, if you click on the 'pin' you should get a new screen with the details of that location etc. In the top right corner is a star, so you can 'star' that location as a favourite, like you do in Gmail, Reader etc.
AFAIK you can't set a Home location though
Indeed you can! Brilliant & thank you very much. I also just noticed the "labs" stuff with all the different buttons, I like this phone the more I get to know it.
Thanks for the quick help, appreciate it.
Anyone found a way of adding safety camera info/alerts to Google navigation?

Hi,
I'm using the standard People widget at the moment on 2.1
What I'm looking for is something more like Outlook, where I can list people in the Address Book by prioritizing their first name, last name, or company.
I also find it frustrating that in the current Contact you cannot view the entire address of a contact. It shows the first line or so and then if you click it, it just opens google maps.
I also find the sidebar scroll throught the address book difficult to use. A simple alphabet down the margin would be preferable.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks
Jack
Heya,
So I have some contacts on my phone that are not linked to their facebook accounts. Any idea how I can manually link them to their facebook accounts ?
Cheers

Go to people app. To get there, on your home screen, click on Phone, then on the bottom right hand corner you have a icon to click on. Click on it, then you have 4 or 5 icons along the bottom (forgot) and the go to the fry left icon.
In there find your contact, click on it.
On this new page on the top right hand corner you have this link icon, click on it, it will prompt you to select what you want to link. Then search and then link.
You must however have FB syncing at this stage or you want have any contacts to link
Thank you
Like everybody I was suprised that it is not possible to delete the frequently called history in ICS (or maybe not surprised, because Google is not in the business of deleting history, rather the opposite). I also was surprised that various cleaner apps don't work in ICS.
Anyway, after some research I learnt that you just have to delete the contents table data_usage_stats in /data/data/com.android.providers/databases/contacts or so. Not a big deal with aSqlitemanager and aShell.
But now I discovered exactly the same in the google search bar.
In the google search settings I unchecked every searchable item expect "People". if I tap into the google search, I can see my frequently called contacts.
Does anybody have an idea what database I have to clean to get rid of this?

Disable "google search" in apps.
Nice side benefit....it removes the google search widget from the desktop.
Yes, I know.
But I would like to keep the google search app.
Just want to know where this "frequently called" information is stored. I can not find the database table.
A solution can be found here (thanks @kynon)

But basically you have to set the following values to 0
last_time_contacted
times_contacted
in table contacts and raw_contacts
When I do a search in the maps app, say for a McDonalds near an airport, I get the results on the map. I select one of the results and tap the right side of the popup (the half that has the name) and at the top I get a star icon to add to my map locations, and a camera icon to take a photo to submit, but there is no stacked dot icon which apparently I'm supposed to use to add the search result to my contacts. If I tap the left side of the popup of course I get the Directions screen. If I go to the results list, and tap on the result in question, it just goes to the result information screen with the star and camera icons but no stacked dot icon.
How on earth do I add a search result in google maps android, to my contacts? If there's supposed to be a stacked dot icon for me to use to do this, how do I get it back?
I'm running stock ICS, rooted. The only google items I've frozen with titanium backup are:
gmail
google play books
google play movies
google+
