If you get injured, go unconscious, etc. and someone wants to find out who they should call after 911 to let your family know:
If your phone is locked, you might think you're out of luck because they can't see your contacts! But, you're not. Simply add a contact (friend, family, anybody you can trust) or use one you already know and just add them to the ICE contact group (built-in).
Then, if someone needs to contact them, they'll simply tap "Emergency Call" and press the button on the bottom left of the number pad, which opens up a list of your ICE contacts!
Confirmed this feature in TouchWiz. AOSP, too, maybe?

From Reddit: thanks, lordspamalot! http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1brnni/ice_in_case_of_emergency/c99emin
Wow I had no idea that could be done.
I've just set up my phone with my ICE Contacts.
Thank you very much!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Just tried that on CM11-S and it doesn't do anything... So I guess it's not an AOSP supported feature, nor CM. It's definitely a cool feature though, I'd love to see it implemented by default on Android or at least CM.

Using the gingerbread keyboard's touch-to-save functionality, I've managed to save words that I don't want saved. How do I remove them?
I've tried clearing the keyboard's data, uninstalling and reinstalling it, and the words are still there like a damn plague ruining my phone!
OK so it turns out there's an app called User Dictionary Manager that let's you modify the list. But the question remains, WHERE is the list? I'd like to manage it without an app.
I think if you go into: Menu->Settings->Keyboard
there should be something called user dictionary or something with a list of words that you have saved
That dictionary only works for the HTC default keyboard as far as I can tell. Granted, my gingerbread keyboard is an app from the market (the only one, the one by steven lin). But it seems the 2.3 keyboard uses a hidden dictionary and has no means of removing added words, otherwise this question wouldn't be so common and still unanswered.
OMG. I'm trying to figure this out too! It's driving me nuts... I'll give that App a try though.
I have an HTC Sensation, but I found this thread via search. Anyone ever figure this out? When I go to the user dictionary in Language and Keyboard, the list is empty. Oddly enough I tried the User Dictionary Manager app listed, it pulls up a list of about 22 words that are in a custom dictionary somewhere. Problem is, the words I'm looking to remove that keep popping up that I accidentally added are NOT in that list. What the heck?

What rom you using? If its bugs you so much just switch to something better. Im running Team Twilight Shooter E3D sense 3.0. well actually the rebuild version (not an official release)
Hey I have the same problem and searched a bit. I manage to find this info, that the words are stored here:
/data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin/databases/auto_dict.db
I haven't found time to root my phone yet, so I can't confirm it, but hopefully it helps.
Can Someone please provide a link to the T mobile Visual Voicemail apk to install, The one in the market has Ads. I am looking for the previous version to the November 7th Release. The one without the ads.
Thanks

I strongly disagree.
What if you don't want google converting your voicemails to text and analyzing your messages (along with keeping track of what you search for, who you call, who (and what) you email, where you go, and what you buy)???
I'm sorry, but an app that lets you simply push a button and play a message without having to listen to audio prompts and remember was that 7 or 9 to save... This Visual Voicemail is simple and efficient and a thousand times less stressful than trying to use Page Plus Cellular voicemail where they seem to randomly choose whether you have to listen to old messages before you can hear the new ones (so frustrating).
Until there is a law passed making me the sole owner of data about ME which lets ME decide how and when companies can use data about me, I don't want to provide more than nesc. to companies like google.

I spent five minutes looking through the search resuts after clicking your link and did NOT find the .apk for the most recent version before that update. Now I have to see, if there is some way I can undo the "thanks" I pressed for you when I stupidly clicked thanks before checking the link you posted since I assumed you were being helpful and linking to the THREAD. Ugh, can't undo thanks.
I don't know really know where to start to respond to this, so here it goes
1) If you do not want Google to convert your voicemails to text, disable that.
If you want to disable voicemail transcriptions, follow these steps:
1.Click the gear icon at the top-right of any Google Voice page and click Voice settings.
2.Deselect the 'Transcribe Voicemails' option in the Voicemail tab.
3.Click Save Changes.
2) I'm sorry, but an app that lets you simply push a button and play a message without having to listen to audio prompts and remember was that 7 or 9 to save...
Google voice does this very well.
3) Until there is a law passed making me the sole owner of data about ME which lets ME decide how and when companies can use data about me.
Why in the world would we need a law for this!?!?! Just don't give your information out on the internet, it IS yours, you can decide who gets it.

I am not sure if this is a bug or just something on my end. I can't find anyone else having this issue or not anywhere. I have Nova Launcher 2.1 and just recently installed Nova Launcher 2.1beta1 and am having the same issues. I wanted to create a shortcut to a document as I have done in the past. I have a few folders on a page to the right of my Home page. For some reason, I can't add any shortcuts. I am using either ES File Explorer or FX. When I hold on a document, and choose "Add to desktop" it would say, "Short cut added to desktop" yet it's no where to be found. However, if I go to the "Touch wiz" launcher, all the shortcuts are there instead...
Any ideas?

Hey buddy, i am in the exact same boat...infact i have posted the same question about a day or so ago here and didn't get any response: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288152&nocache=1
Im starting to think that im the only guy that wants to home screen my bookmarks/pages, until i seen your post here. I don't get how such a great launcher can not have the ability currently to homescreen bookmarks.
But as you said, when you flip over to another launcher they are there. I really don't know how to fix it or if there is a fix, i hope there is...as i want to continue using Nova.

I am in a similar situation. I guess the recent update of Nova would have bug on it. The issue I have is that I tried to add a S Note shortcut to the homescreen, but it wouldn't show up. It showed up on Touchwiz or other launchers.
What I don't understand is why though there is almost nobody with knowledge of it anywhere. Its like its the forbidden subject that nobody can speak of. I even emailed the developer and got nothing back.
Its just bothersome to me that with all the power that droid phones have, Nova simply can not let one add a shortcut to the home screen from web browsing.

Checked now.
2.0.1 works without flaw. [can be Found in the official xda web post]
the latest release has included auto add shortcuts for newly installed apps-which obviously broke the shortcut add by app[fx ,es] features.

I was on a moving train at the time on the post and didn't have much time to look. I'll look later.
Also, developer finally returned my email, he said it well be fixed in the next update!
Hello, everyone! I am brand new to Android development, and this is my first app. The idea is simple: scan a book's barcode (using an intent to the Barcode Scanner app), generate an MLA citation, export by whatever means you wish. I intent to add more features in the future. For now, I need my solid base functionality tested.
I'm bumping this because I really need testers.

I've tried it out, although I scanned only a couple of books.
After scanning screen goes black, when I presume the app looks for the title book, but I surely should present a spinning wheel or something. The first time, screen remained black, I had to press the back button to get to the app and have the pop-up.
Besides, when scanning another book, it simply crashed (for reference, it was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret, UK, adult version)
Anyway, the title recognition works fine
P.S: I think Android design guidelines recommend removing the dialog titlebar in this case
I'll give it a shot here soon. any specific tasks you want checked out?

You're the lucky one.
I got one about 2 days ago.
I like it real improvement over Gmail
It has some great improvements. From trying to use it, it seems that messages that are pinned and then swiped out also become unpinned. Something in which I am missing something or otherwise... What is the purpose of pinning something when it has to stay in front of one in their inbox?

Lol I am lost to. I am just trying to get the hang of it. But the layout of it is great. I wish you where able to add another email account. Which I heard you will be able to later.
Yeah. Do think it is a change, and with that comes a learning curve. It seems to be a welcome refresher of gmail.
