Since I got the OTA update to 5.0 my battery has been draining much quicker than it did before the update. I used to get thru an entire day without having to charge, now I can barely get thru 6 hours. Related, I've noticed the battery is running very hot, somewhere between 90-100 degrees...

I've tried locking and unlocking the auto rotate button in the upper task tray but my screen remains locked in portrait orientation unless I open an app that goes into landscape, and vice versa. Have tried rebooting to no avail. Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a solution? Not rooted...

I read on the blog yesterday that the LTE variant of the nexus 7 was finally getting updated to 4.4.4, yet I am still stuck on 4.4.2. I've checked several times for updates over the past 12 hrs and keep getting the "you're up to date" message. Am I the only one?

I just got my N5 yesterday and am excited about digging in. Coming from a Samsung Galaxy Nexus I got very used to carrying two spare batteries with me at all times since that phone was a huge battery hog. Wondering if you guys make it thru a full day with one charge, or if not, what are you...

i've had my nexus 7 for about three months and have loved it. until recently, that is. i was traveling last week and tried a video gchat for the first time on it, and my girlfriend was unable to see or hear me despite the fact i was able to see and hear her. i put it aside and forgot about it...

Typically i keep my phone on silent and vibrate but lately I've had reason to leave the volume up more frequently to receive audible notifications. I've recently noticed the phone making a notification sound I've previously not heard, kind of a high pitched two beat ping, but when I check there...

i was watching election returns and tracking things on twitter while trying to respond to a text message when suddenly my GNEX disconnected from the verizon network and now i cant get it to connect. i tried shutting it off, pulling the battery, etc, and it just wont connect. im going nuts here...

I've tried connecting as a camera and all I get is the spinning wheel of death, it never connects in iphoto. Anybody know a solution?

When I reach the top or bottom of a screen I get a splash of blue color where I was scrolling. Is this standard on this phone or is it an issue I should address with VZW? thanks

When I start typing my password to connect to my home wifi, the connect button fades out and there is no way to engage it. Has anybody else seen this? Is there a solution?

If you could go back to release day would you purchase this phone again? My DInc is crapping out and I can't put off upgrading any longer. Have been reading all the pros and cons and just want assurance I'm doing the right thing by going GNex. Thanks!

was psyched to get the 4.08 GB update finally loaded up and thought the phone was fully operational, but noticed this weekend that gmail has not been pushing to my phone. if i refresh within the app i get new messages but they are not being pushed and ive missed several important messages. ive...

I was one of the "lucky" few who got the original buggy version of GB on my DINC and had to do a factory reset to make the phone functional. since then, ive been running the old version of market, 2.3.4, and cant get the phone to upgrade. can somebody tell me how to get market to upgrade itself...

i just noticed that the shortcuts to angry birds and seasons on my homepage have disappeared and been replaced by the android robot. when i tried to click on the app i got a message that "the linked program is no longer installed on my phone" and its no longer showing up as a downloaded program...
