You can either clear data from app settings or open goggle now and type a few letters on the search bar then hit menu and the menu should pop up and stay

I think you should keep that sort of personal information off XDA. Nobody cares about what you want to hide from your wife.

No you got it all wrong . Thats not personal at all I changed the location and the extra info was to share the fact that places you google can pop up without warning in goole now . So I think I may have helped someone avoid trouble .

Samsung Task Manager

Does anyone know where I can find the Task Manager that is included with the ICS ROMS for the Epic 4G Touch.
in the app drawer. Not trying to be a smartass. Or go to system settings. Then manage apps. Are you trying to close apps or delete them?

Gmail 'delete from curtain' broken?

It was working before the md4 update. I could delete from the pull down curtain. Now all I get is the notification without the delete /reply options. I have tried all different settings without success. I even uninstalled gmail, deleted data and cashe, reinstalled. No dice. I really liked to be able to delete without going to the app....

Any one?
if there are any other notifications in the pulldown (including one's that can't be swiped away) the option doesn't show up... I stopped using ds battery saver for this reason

Hmmmm. The only other thing there is the green lookout icon. I'll try removing that and see if it changes.

You were right!
I went to lookout settings and turned off the icon. Now all works again.... I Never would have thought it was from lookout. I even sent them an email to alert them of that. They sent a reply in 5mins. Said it shouldn't do that....
Thanks again for helping!

It's not lookout, it's gmail, if there is already any kind of notification on there it doesn't give the expanded delete reply option... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

The lookout support guy said he has the icon and gmail works properly for him.... maybe someday there will be a solution. For now icon goes away....
I can't believe it was that simple and that I didn't think of it!

Again, it's not a lookout problem, is a gmail problem.. nothing lookout can do to fix this, it would have to be coded into the gmail app to allow it to display these options when there is other notifications
Sent from my ANTHRAX sniffing GS3
I think the gmail notification has two modes: minimized and full (with buttons).
The notification only shows the buttons when it's the "top" notification. Apps like lookout have persistent notifications, so the gmail notification is never top dog and therefore doesn't go into "full" mode.
I know in 4.2.2, the method I described allows you to expand minimized notifications. I do a medium-length press and hold, then drag the notification down to expand it. I'll try to capture a video of what I mean (never captured video on my phone before).

It does I solved your issue use a different service. That's not hard to comprehend at all. Clearly the built in screen shot isn't that great so use a different service. There are plenty of options on the play store.

Thanks again for ur response but I insist this does not solve my issue since I want the STOCK SCREENSHOT SERVICE to have a better quality and I bet that changing the build. U can do that unfortunately I don't know which properties to change for it to be done and that's why I ask the question here to see if any DEV could lead me into the right direction otherwise I would've just go to the play store and download one of those screenshot apps u mention!!

Why try to figure it out? As an app thats like 80kb and does a better job dude clearly that rom dev didnt want it to be best quality. You could have already taken a thousand of screenshots in perfect quality if you had just downloaded an app.
I don't understand you reason to use the built in service. Your not benefiting At all.

The reason why I want the built in is because the apps either put an icon on the screen or u have to use a shake movement for it which makes it bad since I'm always moving and the damn phone start taking screenshots if I find one that I could just merge it into the power menu or the screenshot combination buttons then yes it works For me
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I honestly can't see a difference from the screenshots I take with the built in feature and the original screen. They look the same when viewed on my phone unless I send them thru the messaging app which compresses them.

See thats easy to fix. Dude in most apps give you the option to turn it off any other ways to do it. And when I try to take a screenshot with power menu it would hit pause on games and bring me to a menu. Unlike using an app where it doesnt have that issue.

My screen shots are crystal clear and as mentioned, they only get blurry when i try to send them due to compression

an app will not embed it to the power menu thats done within the ROM itself ask the Rom Dev to bake it in.
But an app like screenshot by Kastor Soft with the nexus icon for the app is really good.

One thing abut the dialer that bothers me....

Is how I need to put in the area code before it will bring up contacts. Is there a way to auto populate the area code so I don't always have to???

You could just type their name?

The main thing that bothers me with the phone app is that you can't set which tab it opens when you open the app. I like going to my contact list first bc it has my favorites up top.

True. I guess I just got so used to AOSP on the Rezound, going back to sense is just weird. I would love to run Infection or Tron on this phone!

Agreed about aosp. I've been running that and I'm used to it.
Guess I can always use a different dialer app.

After using the S4 for a bit. This dialer/contacts/people app is a godsend!
I installed exdialer and its pretty cool. I like the stock phone app but just hate having the always type the area code in before it will recommend contacts.

Don't you always dial area code anyways? Been that way for about 15 years for me lol. Then again I do suppose each area of the country is different.

On the aosp dialer and even the s4 dialer you can start to key in the phone number and matching contacts pull up.

Maybe your dialer is messed up then. Mine starts pulling contacts while typing in number. Or maybe I'm just not understanding.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
The thing that bothers me is when I start typing in a contact's name or number, it only gives me one contact at a time at the top of the list, with a little box to the left of the input area with the rest of the matches.
Coming from the HTC Incredible, it used to show multiple suggestions at the top of the list.
I played with a ONE in Costco a couple days before I received mine in the mail and it had multiple contacts (though none had pics) up top.
Anyone know how to configure it that way? I've been trying to figure it out
I installed exdialer and its sweet!!
