My aunt is finally going to take my advice and purchase a Nexus 7. She will be doing simple things with it. Such as browsing, email, etc. Problem is that she is vision impaired. Looking for advice on any kind of screen reader, etc. she can purchase or use. Not even sure what the proper...

I know this sounds like a dumb question and I should know the answer..... I purchased my Galaxy Nexus direct from google last year. Now I am considering getting my daughter one to replace her MyTouch 4g slide. As we know, google no longer sells this phone. So, my only choice to purchase...

I have searched for this (even on developer.android.com) and I can't seem to find a simple answer. I am hoping there is a guide out there for all the possible notification icons that can appear at the top on the notification bar in Jelly Bean 4.1.1. While 90% are incredibly simple to...

Running 4.1.1 on a Galaxy Nexus. When I connect my bluetooth headset the wifi cuts out and returns upon termination of the bluetooth. Is this a bug? flaw? feature?
