Anyone know what the hell this is? I don't know what causes them and no way to end the processes at all. Google and xda search doesn't find me much info on this. My only guess is it has something to do with Knox which I don't even use, I don't think I've ever even opened the app. I guess I could use another browser but I'd rather not. Any info on this would be appreciated.
Nobody knows ANYTHING? Glad to know at least I'm not the only one.

I haven't seen it done on TP or Tilt2, but its on the iPhone. I find it extremely useful for things like the facebook app. I would really like to see something like this done on TP and Tilt2! Does anyone know if someone here is already working on it? I hope someone does make this work, it would be awesome!

what exactly are you trying to have pushed to your phone?
well you can have it text you or send you an email but as for the little bubble over the icon no. thats actually a constant connection with apple servers and thats not free. its part of the apple plan that includes services like apples voicemail.
Hey guys I noticed this this morning while doing a calculation. I am using the stock calculator that came with my Droid Incredible. I've not done any rooting or anything like that. When I enter 365.2 - 358.8 I get the total of 6.3999999999 instead of 6.4 like I should.
Is anyone else getting such calculations?
I've not been able to reproduce this using any other combination of numbers, although occasionally it will produce a something like this: instead of saying 3.4 it will say 3.4000000000. It doesn't do it to every value, but occasionally.
Any thoughts?
Wow, that is just FREAKY!! Same thing on mine! Guess I shouldnt use it for math class huh!
It just has something to do with how computers calculate math. Almost all computers will have problems with some calculations, for example, if you go to Google.com and type in something like 1-.9999999 or 999999999999999-999999999999998 it will give you a wrong answer. But yeah, lol, I wouldn't use this phone on tests or homework unless you don't have anything else around.

Well for what it's worth, 6.3999999~ is the same thing as 6.4
That is true about the rounding. I was actually heavily tempted to remove the stock calculator if I found find a better version on the Market.
Oh, and just for comparison sake, the stock calculator on the Moto Droid displays it correctly as 6.4
RealCalc Scientific Calculator in the Market works great.. and it gives you that 6.4 you are looking for..
On a serious note, I use handy calc, it's really nice and can graph functions too
The stock calc apparently has no way to save to memory... Kind of weird even for a very basic calculator.
If it does via some weird keystroke, I have never figured it out.
Try doing a trig function on the calculator...
Its USELESS.
Well, if you've memorized radian conversions, you can possible use it, but, its like needing an abacus to use a calculator...not worth it.
Why they didn't set it to use DEGREES for angles is beyond me...and there doesn't appear to be an option of switching it either.
Any of you geniuses figure out a way to make it work, ....
...or is the phone's calculator just a fake feature, and I should just down load one that works?

Divide all results by zero.

That's tooooo funny. Makes you wonder if a simple calculator program can't do that math correctly, what else is going on behind the scenes.
Could this be a clue to the mysterious battery drainage problem under Android?
So here's what I got from HTC when I filed a ticket over it:
***********************
Dear Teesh,
Thank you for contacting us about this problem in the calculator application. I actually had one other email about this with another person several months ago, and what we determined was that it was an Android issue. I tested the math on one each of every Android phone we have and was able to recreate the issue. I also, when I was not at work, tested it with a friend's Android device that was not an HTC phone; same result. It appears to be something in the way that the base Android calculator is written; I sent the information up to the proper departments to see what could be done about it, but once the request goes up I don't get any direct response to it. I will again send up the information just in case; I remember posting on the code.google.com page about it when it happened, although I can't find that post now. Interestingly, if the remainder is greater than or equal to .5 it will show the correct answer. I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced, and I hope that it is something resolved in the near future.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 10USCW39ENA000982.
Sincerely,
Philip

I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere, and in the Nexus S forums nobody replied there either. Does anyone know if the Galaxy Nexus supports ANT+? Thanks for any help.
Programs like ANT radio player etc don't show up on my GN, so I imagine it doesn't have ANT+, or google haven't correctly updated their list.
If you know an easy way to check I don't mine running something on my GN for you.
thanks, I was afraid that it may not have it. However, it's not a deal breaker for me.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to check for it, but thanks for the offer.
I want to add info at the end of my posts. Been here 6+ year flashing since winmo. Never posted and now I want to start. ..but I also want a signature and so far have not been able to figure out how to add one.
Thx in advance.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm new to posting and am using the android app so not sure if that makes a difference?
It does. You have to use a browser, but to be honest most use the app and have signatures turned off so almost no one sees them anyway.
Never mind-- figured out what I was doing wrong.
There are 3 bookmarks baked into the Samsung browser that can not be removed. I can live with the one for Google, but the one for Mobile Web and Accessories are annoying the hell out of me, especially the mobile web one as it doesn't even take you to a functioning web site.
Used to be that disabling the partner bookmarks entry in the apps section took care of them, but that is no longer the case. To make it even worse, you can't even reorder them, so they are always at the top of your bookmarks.
Anyone come across a way to get rid of them?
Yeah, use Chrome instead

Is it?? The native browser sucks, for one thing. Chrome works much better and since it's Google, is integrated across all platforms and all your Google accounts

Oh so now it's up to you to decide which browser other people use.
Grow the hell up kid, if you can't provide an answer to the question asked, then keep your mouth shut.

He actually wasn't telling you which browser you HAD to use, he simply stated his opinion which he's allowed to do! If no one gave their opinions about apps we would never know which apps are better than another.. Calling someone names like you did (kid) and telling them to keep their mouth shut is lowering yourself and making you look bad! But just so you know @HipKat is one of the smarter people on here.. There's a reason his names a different color.. Lighten up some .
Also, if you want the bookmarks gone first try long pressing on them to see if they'll pop up a delete function and if it doesn't then there's only 2 options left and 1 of those you can't do because there's no root access on bootloader version 5 and the second thing you could do is get an app called package disabler pro it costs money but it's worth it to get all the bloatware out of the way or you can look into BK disabler too..
Edit: You can also download the older version of the Samsung internet app in .apk format and uninstall the current version and then install the older version.

Kid?? I'm 55 yrs old, for one thing, and I didn't get that Recognized Contributor for the hell of it. I worked on more Dev teams before the Bootloader lockdowns started and wrote my fair share of user guides on this and other forums years before you ever heard of XDA
edit: It was easier to just put the know it all on ignore.
