Lost Short Menu

I do not have any more the Short Menu on the right upper corner (X) after I installed and removed another start menu program.
Any suggestions which registry modification would solve the problem?

Do you mean the task manager quick menu?
If so, you can re-enable it by going to Settings>System>Task Manager>Button and re-check the "Enable Quick Menu.." box.

I had this problem too, for no apparent reason eventhogh the settings were untouch
A simply soft re-set will bring back the icon to close "running programs"

A soft-reset didn't work but the quick menu could be brought back by re-checking the box - quite easy
Thanks /geolix

[Q] Typoclock

I really like the look of this clock but despite appearing to download successfully onto my HTC Desire running Android 2 it simply refuses to function. After dowload I am asked if I want to install it and I say yes, but when it has finished installing, the 'Open' button is greyed out and I am only left with the 'Done' button which doesn't launch the app. The app doesn't show up on the screen either on the 'All Apps' screen, but it does appear in the list when I go to settings and select 'manage apps'. Any ideas anyone?

[VZW} Bluetooth Connect Shortcut?

In order to connect my phone to an already paired device I have to drop the status bar, tap the BT icon then tap the desired device and then go back to the home screen. I find this quite annoying especially when I'm running errands and repeatedly enter and exit my car.
Why the stupid thing won't autoconnect is beyond me but what I'm looking for at this point is a shorter way such as setting up an anycut shortcut or something.
Any ideas?

This is getting very annoying. Can't imagine we are alone in this.

Tasker not working (enable wifi/disable mobile data at home)

For whatever reason, this tasker profile/task is not working and I have no idea why. I want mobile data turned off when my N5 connects to my home wifi network, then I want wifi turned off and mobile data turned on when I leave the range of my home wifi. I found a Tasker profile that people claim to have working, but it doesn't work on mine. If I manually run the tasker task, it works, but if I leave it alone, it does random crap. Sometimes when I get home, wifi and mobile are both turned on and sometimes they're both turned off. They're never in the right state. Any ideas? The Tasker info came from this:
Using Tasker (I'm sure Locale could do this as well, but haven't used it):
It's easiest to do this while in range of the network you want to use to control the mobile data setting.
Create a new profile that's active when connected to your WiFi network
From the Profiles tab, touch the "+" at the bottom of the screen to create a new profile.
On the "First Context" menu, select "State"
On "Select State Category", choose "Net", then "Wifi Connected"
Click the magnifying glass next to "SSID" and select your network name.
Leave the MAC, IP, and Invert fields blank.
Touch the back button
Create an Entry task that will be executed when you connect to your network
On the "Enter Task" menu, touch "New Task"
Enter "Data off" in the "New Task Name" (can be anything you'd like, or blank)
On the "Task Edit" screen, click "+" to add an Action
On "Select Action Category", select "Net", then "Mobile Data", then set "Set" to "Off"
Touch back to return to the main screen Profiles tab.
Create an Exit task that will be executed when you disconnect from your network
Long press the task name you created ("Data off"), and select "Add Exit Task"
Touch "New Task", enter name "Data on"
Selection Action Category "Net", then "Mobile Data", and set "Set" to "On"
Touch back to return to the main screen Profiles tab.
Congratulations, You should now have a profile named "Wifi Connected, {your SSID}", with an entry task (green arrow) of "Data On" and exit task (red arrow) of "Data Off". (tap the profile name to show or hide these details).
Repeat for any number of networks; you can reuse the tasks you created by selecting their names on the "Enter Task" menu.

Hi,
I used the same "how to" and it works for me. The only thing i did different is that I didn't configure any SSID. Which means as far your device is connected to ANY WiFi Data will be turned OFF and wice wersa.
And for the first time (after you've done your settings) turn the data manualy OFF while WFi is ON. Then try to turn WiFi OFF and the Data should be turned ON automaticaly.

Question [Fixed (I think)] How Do I Get Rid of the Gmail "Tap to set up" That's On My Home Screen?

So I turned my Pixel on and the Home screen shows a brown box with the words "Tap to setup" and a Gmail icon. I don't know what I did to get that. I checked my settings but did not find a way to get rid of it. How can I do it?

In trying to resolve my problem I opened Apps, tapped Gmail, and found "Open", "Disable", and "Force stop".
When I tapped "Disable" I got a warning that Android and other functions may no longer function as intended, so I tapped "Cancel" and backed out of that option.
Next, I tapped "Force stop" and got a warning that the app may misbehave, so I tapped "Cancel".
Then I tried "Passwords & accounts", tapped my google account address, but all that had was a "Remove account" button so I backed out of that.
If I long-tap the message on my Home screen, a "Remove" button appears at the top of my screen but if I tap that, nothing happens and the message remains on the Home screen.
So I fiddled with the message box, swiping it to the right/left/up/down and finally, after 3 or 4 swipes to the right, the message disappeared. When I turn the phone off and back on again, the message does not reappear, so I think that the problem is resolved.
I think.....

Only other think I could think would be remove and re-add the account, but hopefully it is fixed.

maybe try to clear your launcher app data.

Just as a matter of curiosity, how does one clear one's launcher app data?

Hi,
Go in Settings > Apps > and look for the launcher app.
Force stop it and go in "Storage & cache"
Click: Clear storage > done.
You may click on the 3 dot menu on you upper right corner and tap on "Show system" if your launcher is installed as a system app...
Good luck,
Sébastien.

Okay, I followed your instructions.
After I tapped "Clear storage", I tapped the center arrow on the bottom of the screen to get back to my Home screen. My 4 shortcuts (that were at the top of the screen) were no longer there, and the bottom row of apps "bounced" up and down every 2 seconds for around 10 seconds and then stopped bouncing. This happened each time I went back to the Home screen.
After a few minutes of fiddling around with the cellphone, the bouncing stopped when I went back to the Home screen and so far it has not returned.
Why did the bottom row of apps bounce up and down?
