Things "missing" in ICS for Bionic

[puckalicious]

Video taping a lot while your driving ? I'm thinking they may have not put that in there for a reason ?

Helps to have video during daily commute of road ragers, and if pulled over by police. Never know when you might need evidence of wrong doing.

car mode is there for sure, I use Tasker to enable it. I dont really have a car dock, does it not automatically come up anymore? I also still have flash on .232, but I guess you mean they just wont update it right?

Car dock works fine and brings up whatever default program you want. Just a complaint about the stock car app not being as customizable as the old one. You are stuck with certain shortcuts that I don't find useful.

One thing to add that I like a lot about ICS in car mode... when someone texts you it pops up a notification on screen and prompts if you want the text read aloud or not. Must be something custom to Motorola? I used to do this exact thing in GB with Tasker, now I really don't have a need for Tasker anymore since the Moto Smart Actions does everything else I need.


One other thing, has anyone installed the Google Now apk with success on Bionic ICS leak?

Try the 'People' shortcut instead. That takes you straight to your contacts, then here is an icon on the bottom to get you to the dialer.

or from dialer press search button

what's missing for me is when I'm in a video I use to be able to control ringer volume and if I clicked the video I controlled media volume

also while in a call if I start a video and lower the volume it only lowers the call volume and I can't change the video volume at all.. on gb if I clicked the video I could control the media volume

also also.. on the samsung s3 when changing the volume a settings button would pop up to alter notification volume as well as ringer volume. we can only change ringer unless going another route

So I'm really hoping someone can help with my desire to open the camera in video mode. Is there a way to create a shortcut to do this?

Care to share? The only "apps" I've found are quite old and lock the camcorder into QHD or SVGA resolution and you can't change any options.

For anyone that cares I found a workaround. Thanks to member SallyC who posted about an app called QuickShortCutMaker, I used this to create a shortcut to open the camera app directly to camcorder mode.

Voice search shortcut?

- Flash. Yeah there is Flash but performance is crap and will not play embedded video in web pages.

So far I am finding that Firefox for Android fixes this problem. I have ditched the stock browser for it and am having no problems with embedded flash videos.
