I got beef the youtube app, and I'm sure they wont listen to little ol me

Does anyone else have a problem with the youtube app, being that it doesn't choose to watch videos in HQ by default. For each video I find my self racing in the menu to choose watch in high quality before the video starts. If I don't do it quick enough, the play time toggle pops up and I end up fast forwarding to the end, and then having to go to the menu again.. Why can't youtube just play HQ by default on my beautiful screen?? Anyone else feel my pain?

Use the mobile website. It's better.
Hmmm my Vibrant seems to default to HQ. Wonder why? I did just get it yesterday.
If your on wifi it defaults to hq if your on data it uses lq.
It happens to me too. I just use www.m.youtube.com
Much better and you can see new videos from your subscriptions.

I hear that in 2.2 samsung will add a HQ button so you dont have to rush to the menu.

This is just what I was looking for. Awesome! Upgraded. The mobile site is just as bad guys, you have to go through hoops to get hq.

Please search in future. I used the search function on the Android market and found this within about 30 seconds...

It does most of what you asked for.

continuous unknown transfer/download in notification

I've noticed a continuous transfer or downloading icon in my notification bar [screenshot]
Is there a good app to track down what this is? Thanks
I have had this problem before on my xoom.
Two suggestions. You could try to clearing your cache and delvik, this worked for me. I have also seen people have luck with BetterBatteryStats (sorry, can't post links in my replies yet). I hope this helps and good luck!

You're right of course, but i had the same problem on both. I noticed Boat browser download service reloading after I stopped it, so I uninstalled and that stopped it.

[Request] "Siri Proxy" alternative for Android ?

Siri Proxy allows you to control additional devices with a Siri device. So I thought there must be something similar available for Android.:fingers-crossed:So we can also control our garages with Android devices

Can't this be done with Google Now? Seems like it would be a feature.

I have been wanting something like this as well.
To have an application to do this though, you would have to have two parts two it.
First part would be an app on your Android device, and the other part would be something that runs on a computer @ the house.
Reason for this is because you would want a secure connection between your phone and the app. Otherwise, anyone/everyone would be able to access your home automation system.
If there is anything like this, that would be awesome, but I don't think there is
The closest thing you can get to it is HomeSeer, but it isn't voice activated. It's only buttons.
If anyone knows of a program that would do voice activation home automation, please let me know!

[Q] Calendar events in notification drop down?

Hey Guys,
A few days ago I saw a post on an android blog about an app that puts your calendar events in the notification drop down menu. For some reason I cannot seem to locate the post or any sign of this app and now I'm beginning to think I'm just crazy.
Does this app sound familiar to anyone? I'll be extremely grateful to anyone who can link me to the post I'm thinking of, or more importantly, to the app on the Google Play Store.
Thanks for the help.
I'm assuming you want status agenda... It is in its beta as of now... Cheers

Google's own Calendar app has notification settings that you can set. It's in General Settings.
