I'm using 2 gmails, a Yahoo, and 2 corporate emails.

I don't see the icon with the 2 arrows you are referring to. I've played around with my homescreen layout quite a bit. Any idea where in the settings I can find that?
you dont have this screen

He probably does, but he moved it so that it's not where you said it would be.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Ah gotcha, you're referring to the sync button.

On my old Droid I always had sync turned off and push still worked automatically. I assumed I could do the same with my Nexus. I'll try that and report back.

Go to Settings>About Phone. Click on Android Version several times in a row. When something appears hold down on it for 4 seconds.

On my phone(s), you can add that 5-button bar as a widget, the same way you would add any other widget.

Yes I have the bar he was referring to, just not where he was saying it was.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I have found that copy paste etc. is much easier holding the phone horizontally. Anyone else try this?

Anyone else have issues with the volume being too low? I found an app called Volume+ but it hasn't really helped.

Nope.  Did you compare it with the model in the store?

Sounds to me like a hardware issue, no complaints at all with handset or speaker volume.

For $9.99 I'm not going to root a phone and risk being turned down for warranty service.  I gladly paid the $9.99 for the tether app and it works flawlessly.

Haven't played with G+ yet.

Will look into Locale.
which app do u use

Tethered on GNex/4G LTE via the full $9.99 version of Wifi Hotspot and USB Tether.
I was just getting around to trying it myself...
