Is there a way to make Chrome mobile not open the tabs that were open when I closed it? I just want a blank app if I open it directly or one tab with the link I followed if I pressed it from somewhere else.

You could write some sort of auto kill tasker task though that wiped it from memory everytime you closed it.

Yesterday, while storms were rolling through the midwest, my phone starting beeping loudly to warn me about a tornado warning in the area. I figured it was a feature of BeWeather except that the warning showed up in my text messages. The beeping was not my SMS notification though. I don't know if this is BeWeather, a feature of the SGS3, or something else. Does anybody have any information about this? Nobody else I was with (all with iPhones) received any warnings so it's not a thing that went out to everybody in the area.

 Check the TW Messaging Settings menu, there's a whole section on "Emergency message settings." Edit: Thanks, didn't know the actual name for it.

Favorite tethering app? It's for a rooted Galaxy Nexus and I'll probably only use it for a Nexus 7 that I'm getting soon.

I doubt your carrier will notice you tethering another Android device. It's basically all I use my Nexus S for anymore short of phone calls, WiFi tethering for the 7.

I think it's detecting user agents mainly so you wouldn't have noticed if you were tethering a Nexus 7. I haven't hit a pay wall or no throughput either so who knows. Edit: Read your post more clearly, I'm retarded.

I don't have a stock tethering app. Or at least I can't find it. I used to have one on an old T-Mobile phone, but not this one, because I bought it straight from Google. An I missing something? Anyone else have a tethering app suggestion?

Anyone have any advice on what to turn on for CMAS? My phone lists "Presidential alert" (which cannot be turned off!  ), Extreme alert, Severe Alert, and Amber alert type messages, and I have BeWeather installed to alert me of weather advisories.I like being abreast of local emergencies, but I also don't want it going off for minor things. Is there a breakdown of what constitutes what alert?

Hmm, if it was detecting user agents, does that mean they're messing with anyone whose browser has a 'desktop page' mode?

I wouldn't turn off severe alerts at all if my phone was CMAS capable. A severe thunderstorm can still hurt you and damage your car. Just because it's not dropping tornadoes doesn't mean it's not dangerous.

Does CMAS require a data plan or is it through SMS? Also, for phones that do not have CMAS, is there any free services out there that will SMS you severe alerts in your area?

This sounds great, but I am a moron and cannot locate this setting anywhere. Any tips?

I uninstalled the Amazon Appstore over the weekend, figuring it would disable/uninstall all the apps that were tied to it. Unfortunately this was not the case. One of the apps I got from Amazon was Seal, which I used to password protect my texts, email, phone settings, calls, file browsers, market & internet. Well, after uninstalling the Amazon Appstore, I attempted to use my phone and the Seal password popped up, followed a second later by a message saying Seal cannot be used without the Amazon Appstore installed. So I was unable to unlock my phone, and due to what was locked unable to reinstall the Amazon Appstore. Luckily, the Frost browser was not included in the list of Internet apps and I was able to email myself the Amazon Appstore .apk and install it through Frost. After which, I was able to uninstall Seal. I will have to go through my Amazon account manually now and check that I have all the apps uninstalled before removing their market again. Had I not found a way around the block, is there a way to remotely uninstall an app? or would a factory reset have been my only option?

I think this is an Android thing rather than a keyboard thing, although I've been using SwiftKey for so long that I'm not sure. I mostly notice it in the Google search box in a browser, and in Jelly Bean in the Google Now search box.

Is there any texting/messaging app that's been updated for the ICS aesthetic (e.g., action bar support) and supports group MMS? On a related note, why do all the popular options look almost identical and share the same faux-iPhone interface?

I would love to know that as well. Group SMS is the only major missing feature from Android, I think. The most frustrating and annoying thing ever: having a group of ten friends sending messages back and forth to the tune of some odd 100 text messages in an hour. Frustrating, and I have to respond to each person individually.

LastInLine posted:The bigger lesson here is "Don't do stupid things." You can blame the original app developer for that too. But it might be some kid who doesn't know the first thing about designing a security app. The whole point of Amazon's store is that this stuff is supposed to be professionally vetted, and security apps need to be vetted more than, say, a game. Perhaps the bigger lesson here is "don't purchase things from the Amazon Appstore."

ExcessBLarg! posted:Maybe. But I'm going to give Amazon a lot of poo poo for this one. It's absolutely irresponsible for them to approve an app which falls back inappropriately (locks you out of your device) when there's a licensing issue. What was that file browser app that everybody likes that wasn't ES? I'm wanting to try it out again and haven't been able to remember the name for two days now.
