Well, I found out why the new apps I've added to my android phone don't show up on the screen. It seem that when you put an app in a folder, it still counts as an icon on the main screen. So if you add an app it won't display even though the screen is empty of other apps... the OS thinks the screen i s full. Very strange. I got an app that gives me more home screens, so that problem should be gone. If this behavior is documented in the User's Guide, I missed it.

On a non-related note, my 2007 Honda Civic is incredibly noisy. The amount of road noise on some surfaces (mainly chip seal roads) is incredible. My 1997 Volvo was virtually silent, and I miss it.

I've ordered the under-hood nose/heat pad that the more expensive Civics have as standard. We'll see if that makes any difference. I also have some stuff I bought at Home Depot that can be used inside door panels and other areas to absorb/dampen noise. I may have to wait for the weather to warm up a bit before I try to install it.
