What's going on with Google Now election cards? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There's no option to stop seeing those stories when you click the card's 3 dot menu, they don't show up as a topic in preferences.... and, after the last update, they can't even be swiped away!!
Am I missing something? How do I permanently disable these?

Am the only one having this problem?
Or maybe the only one who cares...?

Stories about Clinton and Trump. The cards constantly show up and I can't get rid of them for more than a little while.

I haven't seen any, all I see are the scores for Pittsburgh Pirates and weather.

Well this is interesting. Why do I have them at all, even after saying I'm not interested in election stories in my preferences?

Not sure if any of you have seen this, or if it is on here in the development section.... but that is a pretty insane increase! 16+mflops/s! Stock is about 6mflops/s...
JIT makes my phone run 3 times faster but its not stable. Thats why Cyanogen does not include this by default. I cant wait till then have JIT bug free.

So that is just JIT? I hate being behind on what all is going on... trying to catch up, but they keep coming out with new stuff faster than I can learn about the old stuff...

That is one thing that dumbfounds me about Android... the search of the market is HORRIBLE! You would think google could come up with a good way to search the market...
Linkpack doesn't come up for me.

That was my bad, I added a 'K'... Should have been linpack.
Note:
I edited my original post to reflect 'linpack' so it doesn't mess anyone else up.

This is very true, I am still running stock and am in amazement! I will, in due time, root and get something custom on there of course, but for now I am enjoying the beauty of a stock N1 for all it is worth!

I think this is an issue for quite a few of us.
It seems that sometimes the screen registers a completely different place to where your finger touches.
I would say it's bad but I was touching the screen on my Nexus and selecting apps on my wifes G1

full Froyo or press release.

I've been noticing a lot of the apps on the market stating that we all have press release versions of Froyo. Is this true?
Can you give some examples?
Haven't seen this.
yeah, PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!

and look at this http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/android-2-2s-froyo-goodness-hitting-the-nexus-one-already/ check out the 3rd update
We've done some additional investigation, and as far as we can tell, Google is only updating review Nexus Ones that had been provided to the press -- not off-the-shelf phones. We'll stay on this and let you know more as soon as we do.

If that turns out to be the case, we will get the new file so we can flash it; if not we can alway download the old 2.1 update file, flash and then let the OTA hit the phone.

Really? I thought everyone interested enough in tinkering with gadgets (aka nerds, JK ) knew Freeman, the famous silent protagonist armed with the mighty crowbar. Or maybe I'm just getting old and ppl don't play PC games anymore.
Anyway, hopefully a new rom will come. I still have problems mounting the SD card which sometimes causes crashes. And also missing market links.

[Q] Serious ?

Is it wrong for me to wanna make love to my phone with all these new ROM's, themes, etc. that everyone keeps coming out with?
Should I have put this in Q&A?
I guess it is.

Now now now... to be fair, I've sat there with my Hero comparing speeds vs and Epic and Evo, while it's definitely slower it's not slow enough on CM6RC1 to make anyone go "I would definitely prefer an Evo or Epic" unless you were A. A geek like most on here B. A and C. B.

Funny how as soon as fixxxer disappeared markus showed up.. and denied being the same person. Now that fixxxer has mysteriously and suddenly reappeared markus_del_marko's account is disabled for no apparent reason...
Did anyone ever watch Arsenio Hall?

How could I not? He stirred up more bull$h1# in the Hero forum than anyone I've ever seen.
I won't post any of the PM's I got from markus.. or fixxxer. But I do still have them.
I'll leave it alone now, I just have a lack of ability to ignore bullcrap, what can I say..
I hope fixxxer/markus likes his job with Sprint, sounds like a fun gig. But I hope to hell he doesn't get an EVO, and if he does and starts spreading his particular brand of antagonistic, unhelpful negativity around the EVO forum like he did here in the Hero forum then then I imagine I may just end up catching another ban..
Sorry to see he's back, wish he would get an iPhone, that's all.
LOL i think your right neb..

These are some really popular apps that i'm sure some of you might use and they have been found to be malicious.
