[Q] Google Car Home - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Downloaded the regular google car home apk to use on GS4G and sideloaded it. Installed fine and it runs on the phone, however it does not switch to landscape mode, it only stays in portrait. I was just wondering if anyone else had tried this and if anyone was successful in getting it to work properly with our new phone. Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, didn't have auto-rotate enabled somehow, works great now!

Why isn't Beautiful Widgets refreshing?

The only way i can get it to refresh the time is if lock then unlock my phone...it wont reload if my phone stays on. Does anyone know a cure to this/know the reason why?

Beauitful Widget
I am having the same issue but with the weather. I have launcher pro and also Beauitful Widget and my weather never updates at all, Why is this
Okay, I Turned off my phone and then back on and now it's working fine. For anyone else having this possibly, maybe try that?
Having the same issue with adw.launcher.
Rooted with toasts method running DC3.2.3 and rotary lock screen. I flashed the vanilla lock screen last night and haven't had the problem since. I've played with all of the settings in adw and nothing helped, and I haven't been able to find a way to reproduce it manually either.

UPDATE: Since swapping lock screens last night I haven't had widgets freeze once. Anyone else using the rotary lock?

stock weather widget not updating anymore?

I have been using the stock weather widget ever since I got my Nexus S. It used to work great an update all on it's lonesome. But now it will not update. If I click on it and open the weather, it will show a different temperature than what it shows on the widget. Then when I hit back to go back to my home screen, it's updated with the new temperature. I've had it not update for more than three days even unless I manually open it.
I thought maybe it was LauncherPro+ with the resizing of the widget, but I removed it and added it back to the home screen at it's original size and I still have the same problem.
Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same damn problem.
Same problem here, but mine is with the whole Genie Widget. News also is not updating or even showing at all sometimes.
Did anyone ever figure this out? It's still not updating for me. Seems like only when I'm on WiFi it doesn't update.

It hasn't been working for a while. The only way to get it to update is manually.
Check the background data and GPS,and it will work fine

[Q] Auto-Rotate breaks sometimes- Is there an App?

On my Nexus S with CM7-Rc1 and Trinity kernel the auto-rotate will sometimes stop working. I will have to reboot the phone to get it to work again. Is there an app or a workaround that I can press an icon and it will manually rotate the phone?
Have the same issue on stock 2.3.2. I'm pretty sure that it's because of an app but I'm just not sure which one and/or why

Google Play Problems

Hi guys, first post here so please be gentle. I have a SG Note and recently Google Play updated and now whenever I go on to the store and try and type, it freezes up and flips out. Weirdly, more so when I press 'o'. I have cleared the data and cache etc rebooted several times but nothing seems to cure this problem. It just constantly 'Force Closes'.
Please help, as I really don't want to factory reset if possible.
Thank you in advance
Is the phone rooted or modified in any way?
No, it's all stock at the moment. I tried it last night and it seems to work in the horizontal position. Very weird as it works fine when using the keyboard on anything else, like right now it's working fine.

Pinch-to-Zoom Change Keyboard Type Not Working?

When I first got this tablet I could pinch-to-zoom and select split keyboard or floating keyboard. Now it's not working. The multi-touch gesture seems to do nothing. The installed version of the keyboard is Samsung Keyboard 1.0. It says in the options that pinch-to-zoom on the keyboard zone would bring up the style selection menu (as it should). It just refuses to recognize my gesture. This is on a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
Anyone else experience this? Any ideas if removing an app or something may have done this? Can't figure it out for the life of me.
Did you try to clear the keyboards data ?
Open apps in setting and clear data and cash of keyboard if not try to find keyboard apk and install if not flash other rom

I tried all the suggestions you guys mentioned and still nothing. I have a feeling the keyboard apk is unable to save data because I am still having this same problem from my previous thread. My internal sdcard refuses to let me delete corrupted files from it again and I think maybe the keyboards settings are saved there. I also cannot save a screenshot or user defined words with my keyboard.

SAME ****
Same problem here, just got new TAB 2
Android 4.0.3 Samsung Keyboard 1.0 pinch to zoom on keyboard not working to choose keyboard style. Tried to clean cahce and so on.. and nothing. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Any one having same problem? Or had in the past?
Wassup With That!?
Go this Nifty Tablet on Sunday and after playing around with Google Maps this morning I noticed the pinch function was not working, I even tried it on a few pictures and in a few web browsers, no luck. i noticed this while playing Video games but i brushed it off, I was playing "Dead Trigger" & "Modern Combat 3" in game the camera goes haywire or would not respond to my touch at all and would continue to not work correctly unless i do a reboot and jump right back in as soon as the tab is back up and running. I have to do this a few times before it all goes back to normal.
I'm wondering if this is a hardware defect and i should return it for a new unit or should i just wait it off untill a new software release hopefully fixes this issue.
or i might just return it and upgrade to a NOTE
Android 4.1.1 - Model GT-P5113
I got this multi touch problem just after i updated the tablet to jb.
Guess its software error or something.
Sometimes works (after reboot) and then it doesnt work anymore.
