And if you scroll downpages of apps after searching the market, select an app to take a look then press back to go back to the search results it remembers where you'd scrolled to. ! Being taken back to the top used to really bug me!

How did i miss this?! Google Instant is now an option in labs!
Also, have we always been able to change the search from Google to Yahoo or Bing? Because there's an option now.
Yeah. The little market fixes are nice, but you still can't comment on or grade apps.
I noticed in settings under Accessibility there is a new setting for longpress action response time.

If you use Picasa, there's an option for 'Make Available Offline' in the gallery.

This isn't a 3.1 update - I have the priority icons already on my stock UK XOOM. You need to enable the functionality in your gmail account. They're even present on my stock 2.3.4 (gingerbread) nexus one.

Does anyone know if you can use any Bluetooth keyboard now? Or is it still only the Motorola one?

I was able to use a Logitech BT KB even before the update.
EDIT: One thing that did change though after the update is the trackpad (mouse) on my Logitech KB now works. Very Cool!
anyway to change the browser to desktop mode now?
There are now upload and download indicator arrows over the Wifi icon in the notification area.

thanks, added this to the first post
Did this update include the widevine and HDCP that were going to be included in the pulled 4/28/11 update?
I would assume so for the Google Videos. I was able to watch in 720p over HDMI no problem. Escpecially since Google Videos don't work if you are rooted.
sorry but what is Google instant?
Also can anyone tell me where the movie rental app would be? Checked the market and its not there...
Thanks!
You can pin picasa albums in 3.0. One of my favorite HC features.

I've noticed quick controls for the web browser ??
Hi. When browsing the net with the stock browser undocked, I am a fan of the labs feature 'quick controls'. However, when I dock my TF I prefer the standard address bar & tabs layout because its so much easier to use with the touchpad. I was wondering whether it would be possible to develop something that would recognise this and change it as it's docked and undocked? Thanks.
Any idea how to enable round icons on Galaxy S8 like tbe ones on the Pixel? I do not want to use custom launcher. I have installed Pixel Launcher and Pixel launcher icons but still does not give me the round icons for many apps like Youtube, Play Store, Play Music, etc. I hope someone could help me out.
Use nova launcher and a pixel icon pack. Works fine for me
There is no way to have them round.
That being said, samsung did include a frame option in an attempt to make the icons unified as look.
You can find that option in settings - display - icon frames.

I don't believe that there is no way. I have seen before that it's like a one line of code that triggers the use of round icons of the app as long as the app itself supported it. I just can't seem to find that thread now.

Does anybody know if the Pixel style weather widget on the Nova Launcher home screen works on the OnePlus 5? As far as I can tell I have everything enabled correctly but the weather won't show up. I've read that this feature doesn't work on Samsung phones. Does it also not work on the OnePlus 5 or am I missing something?

Works for me. You have it enabled in the labs menu under Nova settings?

Yes I did. The option to choose to display the weather on the home page doesn't show up unless you enable it in labs first. Maybe I'm missing a permission or setting somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Are you running stock unrooted?
Restarting Nova Launcher from within Nova Settings immediately fixed the issue. ☺
I have uninstalled android browser and google app but still white screen appears when I do swipe up gesture on home screen. I have googled it and done lots of search on internet, unfortunately, I did not get solution for this. Plz help
