Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Checked all the fuses? Maybe a wire got cut somewhere to the back?

Yeah, I checked the trailer light fuses in the fuse box and they were good. I'm thinking it's a ground issue now, but it would take me hours to trace it. Father-in-law's trailer and he does not follow standard wiring conventions...he follows whatever convention he has laying around within reach at the time :rolleyes:
 
Got a 3' 12-14 gauge electrical line with alligator clips at both ends? Clip on the vehicle side of the hitch, and one on the trailer, usually the ball latch. I had a trailer that wouldn't ground, and that $5 dollar clip would ground it so you had lights. Never came off either.

Jumper cables work too.
 
So a little bit of WH spam, but I wanted to post this here too. A friend of mine on facebook posted that VZW moved his upgrade forward by 4 months, and so he was going to get either the iPhone 5, or the S3, and what should he get.

18 people so far have responded, and the results are:

16 - S3
1 - You choose what's best for you
1 - iPhone 5.

:eek: :party:
 
Alright, serious question.
Wife is tired of our massive desk in our undersized bedroom. It houses the desktop, monitor, printer and a ton of unnecessary junk.
Basically, that computer is used to watch Netflix and what not when we're in there and little to nothing else (printing when we need to).
Would like to get a new monitor, perhaps a larger one, wall mount it and either swap out the desk or take off the top part for some extra storage space.
Anyone want to recommend a 20-23" monitor that isn't very expensive? Really don't want to spend more than $200 (I'm cheap for these things). Looks like there's quite a bit out there in that range.
This one is available at my local BestBuy:

Question is, how easy is it to wall mount it?

Or go for a cheapo HDTV with a monitor in port. Oops, you added a link between posting and me hitting quote.

Dumb question, just checked and the tower does have an HDMI out. Should I assume all functionality would work with a tv vs. a dedicated monitor?

If you have HDMI out on the computer, all the better. Yeah, most HDMI tv's are simply LCD monitors with tuners in them. I saw a few at walmart with built in DVD players too for around $170.

Test it out on you main TV if you have one with HDMI in.
 
That's, I'll try to give it a shot with our tv.

Just found out about the Roku app for Android. Awesome! Using my N7 for all the navigation. Love this thing. :)

Haven't tried, but I'll give it a go once I get the JB OTA in a little bit. BTW, How have you been?

Been well Pup. I've been busy this week playing on one of there best video game platforms ever - a multi-million dollar full motion Airbus simulator. Granted, there wasn't a lot of "playing" involved, but it was still fun to do things that you wouldn't want to do in a live airplane and passengers on board.
 
Pup, looks like a go on the HDMI out!
Okay, time for tv shopping. Probably something cheap as we're only really watching Netflix which maxes out at 720p.
Anyone good with wall mounting a tv? Not sure which I'll get but looking at something between 8-12 pounds. Anyone recommend a mount? Will have to look for studs, and hoping to get one that swivels. They look pretty pricey though.

Good Morning Gnexers!

Well, it looks like this year's Nexus offering will be a "minor upgrade" to our Nexi. Better camera and a microSD card slot. But little else to excite me:

The 'Superior' Galaxy Nexus: Is the next Google phone on the way? - CSMonitor.com

*YAWN* Far from "Flagship" IMO

Good thing - I'm not ready to plunk down full retail yet. Maybe the 2013 Nexus will be a blockbuster.

Personally I'm happy there is nothing that I'm drooling over yet. I'm still loving my Gnex and don't mind waiting another year for the next big thing.
