Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Happy Saturday...first day off in weeks since the wedding was so busy last week. Family has all gone home, taking a day to sit on the couch, review the gifts we received and figure out what else we need....and mentally start packing to move to Austin...choosing a house, figure out what will have to be garage sales before or what to take...and oh yeah, off to take a nap now....see nice day off. Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far!!
 
evening everyone! Been busy busy here, got the new nexus all set back up. Decided to stay on the ota stock jellybean after i unlocked and rooted. I have to say, even with all my apps loaded back and the set up the same with Apex, I am getting significantly better battery life on the stock ota of jellybean than i was on any of the many JB Roms I ran before. I am not sure why, is it this new phone or is this stock version and kernel really that good? Any one else have any experience with this?

I would imagine that with a new battery, battery life would be great. Glad things are working out!:D

Thanks JMar, no new battery, just a new phone. Like Pup, battery life on totally stock JB is really good, I went all day, normal usage for me which is pretty heavy, about 14 hours without any charging. I never made it more than 7 or 8 hours on any of the ROMs or kernels I tried.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

So I just bought Broken Sword: Director's Cut from the Google Play sale, I've heard great things about it. It's downloading now - 533 MB! :eek: Still, I guess for only a quarter that's a good deal! I'll let you guys know how it is.

I downloaded it last night but have yet to try it out.

Field Trip - app


Field Trip, is an automated guide to the world around you as you walk down the street. The new app, available on Android devices (with an iPhone version on the way), is designed to run in the background of your phone, pinging you with notifications about nearby landmarks, surrounding restaurants and miscellaneous local trivia when it sees fit.

LOL I just installed Field Trip and went exploring the greater metropolitan Manchester, Tennessee area - all five square miles of it!

"No places of interest were found nearby"

:rolleyes:

Thanks for the heads up BB, unfortunately I won't be.

i just got back from hunting defenseless antelope in Wyoming. I've been out of the loop for the last week with no cell phone or internet.
