I LOVE driving in the Snow! I grew up in IA, MN & ND... I live in AZ right now. it's Raining and 42 Degrees right now.

My first car was a RWD 1976 Chevy Nova that I used to drive in the NDak Winters.

See I have a Grand Am with performance tires on it. Thus, I HATE driving in the snow!

Can someone sincerely explain to me what the point of the hide/show ish is? Actually let me rephrase that, does it really save people that much time reading through this thread? Just wondering, cause it seems pointless...

To all those stating that they don't use Facebook sync because they don't want 1000+ contacts in your phone:

You do realize you can select "sync with existing contacts", right? It will only pull down pictures and information about people that are currently in your contacts.

I really like this feature because when friends call me, the phone displays their default Facebook picture. If they change their default Facebook picture, the next time my phone syncs with Facebook, it will update their picture.

So...if my phone has already done the sync, and I have so many contacts...and multiple of some contacts...is there an easy way to clean it up? Or do I have to go entry by entry and delete them? :confused:

Nice job. I finished mine today too. I broke the - don't string more than e strands of lights together - rule. Still on though, so I think we're OK

Oh yeah, I break that like crazy. all the clear lights are plugged into one outlet, and all the colored ones are plugged into another. Haha, 4th year, haven't had a problem yet.

Thanks! So can you tell the screen is pentile?
Click to expand...

Absolutely not!

I have noticed it on every Motorola device since the Droid X2 (including the RAZR) and my vision is perfect but there is no pixelation here whatsoever. I even brought it up super close to my eye (that you would never ever do) and was not even to make out the grid of pixels, let alone each individual one. Perfect size, perfect colors, perfect PPI, perfect everything! ;)

TLDR: This screen is the most gorgeous screen I've seen on any recent smartphone. :D

If I recall there is a way to get rid of duplicates from the browser version of your contacts... I cant remember for sure though.

EDIT: I was right, you can go to Gmail, go to contacts, and under more is the option.

Nope, I pack everything well each year. Did have some not working, that is always the worst part, as I am kind of cheap when it comes to holiday decorations, so will spend an hour or to trying to fix instead of just getting a new string.

Also the icicle lights are the twinkling kind, adds a nice touch I think.

Very nice, my house looks like a frat house compared to the Huxtable's and Bank's on my street who deck their houses with full blown decorations. Every year this one guy syncs his music & lighting with an FM transmitter and you drive by, put the station on that is posted on the lawn. And you see an amazing light show :).

Might be a dumb question but do you think I should have this checked on my old phone before activating the GNex to prevent it from automatically starting to sync upon logging in to my Google account?

If you DO NOT want the new phone to sync, then keep them unchecked.

Please do a comparison between the Charge's screen and the Nexus' when you get it. I'm very interested to hear the difference between a low res. SAMOLED+ display and high res. SAMOLED display.

Also, are you a big Lupe fan? I LOVE him...when I listen to his raps I find it hard to stomach some other modern day rappers' music. And what's a "Lupe fiasco station" btw? F&F up!:)
Click to expand...

Sure thing. Ill take some charge shots before I return it. I'll be doing an informal camera comparison too.

I love Lupe! The station I'm referring to is on Pandora. Pick an artist you like and they make a station for you based on similar artists, then based on what you like and dislike, it changes to suit your tastes :) [

Eh, I always hated facebook sync. Of course, I have like 1000 friends, most of whom I don't ever talk to anymore.

You guys do know that with the Gingerbread FB app you can choose to sync only your FB contacts that are already in your contacts, right?

Ah, ninja'd again. This thread is returning to ludicrous speed...

Point is that Phases has called for this so that on-topic phone stuff is right there for those wanting only that info now as close on release and off-topic is still there, but can skipped by not clicking - as per the statement in the OP.
 
Why did Samsung just have a TV commercial for the Galaxy S2 on during the Va Tech / Clemson game? I guess they might not be allowed to advertise the Nexus yet. I'll bet they had bought the time for a Nexus ad, until the release was pushed back.

Well crud! It has gone through my hotmail and gmail, AND Facebook. No wonder I have multiple of everything! Any ideas how to easily clean this up? I'm thinking for my GNex, I will just start over fresh! :(

I got mine in the mail today. It looks great. Can't wait to get my shiny new nexus to put it inside

Mine was supposedly picked up by USPS on 11/26, but I still haven't received it. Apparently it takes more than a week to ship from Wisconsin to New Jersey. I guess it is being delivered by horse - pony express. :(
