New Maps with offline view - Xperia Arc Themes and Apps

Yes the new Maps 5.7 let's you finally DOWNLOAD maps for offline.

no point of downloading if you cant search adress, plain routes or anything....
at least in mine, i cant do these offline

You're right BUT it's at least great for offline exploring desired area, the place you visit abroad especially when the country has horrible internet roaming prices, imagine you go from US to Europe or from EU to Russia or Israel.
In this case it's quite helpful.

I cant seem to figure out how to downlowd maps...can someone help me? What option do I chose?

Yes true this menu is quite hidden.
Awyway you tap and hold on map and get the typical "bubble" with the address, so click it and in the end of the options menu there is "download area" or something like that.
The downloaded area is under Cache Settings.
Useful.

Cant seem to download !!! No download option

You might need to enable it in the labs options

I'd rather ask the question: why people don't explore apps anymore?

Cool now traffic added to 12 countries (incl. Poland)

Shame it's such a small area you can download though.

VZW Browser Tap to Complete Google Search Suggestion

Usually when typing in search words in Google using the stock browser you are able to tap one of the suggestions that come up and it should take you browse the search results. However, I just realized that it doesn't work. I start typing in the search bar at google.com and Google starts to populate a list of suggestions but when I tap on one it either does nothing or searches only on what I have typed to the point when I tap the suggestion.
Has anyone else seen this? It's very odd. I hope it's not one of these apple lawsuit things.
Thanks

You have to click the arrow to the right of the results that you wish to search. Dont know why this was changed.

Automatically Clear Notification - App

[deleted]
Orange Lightning said:
I've searched, and I cannot find any app that will automatically clear a specific notification once its been received. I keep receiving a useless notification all the time, and keep having to clear it. I want an app that will automatically clear that notification every time I receive it.
This thread is to see if anyone knows of ANY app that can do this, or
To (petition?) for an that can do this. So, if there isn't an app that can do this, POST HERE THAT YOU WANT ONE

Yes I want one

Pent from Tasker, or Crafty Apps told me that there is no app because Android doesn't allow it, presumably for security reasons.
If this is true, this will be a sort of petition for Google to change that and make the option available if desired.

Yes!
i have been looking for this. i don't want my notifications to appear on the screen, but i want to get a vibrate notification, or a sound notification for my notifications for fb messenger, and textfree. i have used tasker for this, and all that i could do was make the status bar expand whenever i unlock my screen. it did not automatically clear it, so it wasn't helpful. i need this!
I have found a way to do this. you have to go to settings -> applications -> and choose the app. from there, uncheck the box for notifications, and you are good to go.

well, there are in my rom. i am running a jellybean rom, but i have seen it in other places too. maybe you should update your android version.

Yep, that's only possible on JellyBean. On other Android versions there isn't way to do it, and I think Google will not add it (because JellyBean already have it, so there is no reason to add it to older versions).

Orange Lightning said:
I have Android 4.0.4 so if they added the feature in Jellybean then they did what I and the other people of this forum wanted. Yay.
I'm going to get the Nexus 4 once its out of the sort of beta testing a phone goes through when it first comes out. THEN THE OPTION SHALL ME MINE!!!

Google Now Appointment Card

Hey guys, I updated to JB (Slick Rom not AT&T stock), downloaded Google Now (Google Search) from play store and I really enjoy using it. But whenever I get "next appointment card" telling me to leave for an appointment, it's based off of driving direction, is it possible to change it to public transportation which is what I use most of the time?
Speaking of the usefulness of that card, wouldn't it be awesome if we're able to choose transportation mode (driving, public transport, biking, walking) when setting up an appointment in Google calendar, Google Now then shows you the travel time from the chosen transportation mode?
Look around the Google maps navigation settings. Not sure if it'll stick to Google Now

Open up Google now and tap the question mark icon in the corner and I think the option is in there.

That is for the traffic card where tapping the icon on the upper right corner expands transportation mode. Nothing for the appointment card though.

Totally Frustrated...can't get filters working on Titanium Backup Pro

I am about ready to scream.....
Using TB pro and trying to setup and use a filter.
I click on "Click to edit filters"
choose load filters.......I choose "frozen", it displays....I make sure "filter by temp" is set to frozen....
And then can find a "Done" or "return" or any thing that actually manages to load the filter.
So I click the back arrow, and of course, I'm in the "all" area...
by closing and reopening, and god knows what, I have managed to get the "Frozen" to appear, but
then nothing shows up in the window under where the apks should be.
Could someone please help with this before I go ballistic....this really should not be that hard.
49 views and not one answer....
F U all
Excellent way to get help here. Did you load your filter, then try the green check mark in the top right corner?

Google settings should do that. Not phone settings,
I think somehow this option is missing on L. I can't find some it anywhere
