So quick question, while extreme power saver mode is on, is there a way to change the default messaging app from the stock SMS app to, let's say, hangouts or any other SMS app?

So I noticed the other day that the front facing camera looked a bit odd, almost evil looking. I've attached a picture to help convey my concern. And pardon the fuzziness, used my sister's iPhone 4 and it can't focus in that close. Though the camera looks to mostly be covered up, it still shows...

So, I've just about given all I got into trying to solve the 2 big issues on my nexus 4... First the battery drain, doesn't get more than 9 hours of battery life on idle and lastly my phone will not connect to my win7 pc, no notification, no pop ups, usb debugging on, connections set to mtp...

As of recently (past few days) I've noticed horrendous battery life. So bad in fact, that my phone will not last 4 hours after a full charge O.o Also noticed that the phone is a bit too hot for being in idle. Running Stock 4.3 not rooted. So figured something was running in the background, at...

So as the topic explains, i need a new carrier. I just recently moved and using my Straight Talk T-mobile sim card in my nexus 4, Data is very patchy and im lucky to even get 2G, this will not help my fellow resistance in ingress to take back this town ;) But anyway, the real problem lies in...

So ever since the update, every hour or so, I lose all service, and it doesn't come back until after a reboot. I always have full service because of the cell tower across the street. I'm using straight talk through T-Mobile. Anyone else having this issue?

So i was driving around yesterday, getting to know the new area im currently living in and thought it'd be a great opportunity to test out google maps on my new nexus 4. while driving and listening to the directions, I've noticed a HUGE delay in directions. The area can get a little confusing...

So I, like many of us, have received the dreaded "back ordered" email. I had been planning my leave from verizon since the announcement. Buy the Nexus 4 with my saved up money, sell my Galaxy S3 to pay the Verizon ETF, and switch to straight talk. But that plan is foiled now and its hard enough...

If anyone here that's like me and feel they got screwed at the opening window to order yourself a Nexus 4, fear not! It is not sold out! atleast i dont think it is. Hit the refresh button on the nexus 4 page 15 or so times, and that blue "notify me" button will magically turn into "add to...

So, ever since i got my GS3, i have not been able to check for updates. I get a weird "service is unavailable" pop up when i attempt to check. Apparently this is a wide spread issue. So i need to know if my phone is up to date, because these build numbers always confuse me, and have no idea...

So I've been thinking about rooting my S3. I'm no stranger to rooting, and i haven't rooted yet because the S3 pretty much has almost everything i wanted out of rooting in the stock OS, smoothness and notification toggles and plus a few extra features. However, today, My sister got the jelly...

Hey all, Thinking of switching to the S3, by taking my sister's upgrade (from a seperate VZW contract) getting the S3 and giving her my LTE Gnex. Is swapping out the sim cards that easy? do both sim cards use the same form factor? Do i have to deal with Verizon about swapping the phones...

So my Mom asked me to help her pick out a new phone for my sister's upgrade, but dosn't want to spend alot on it. This is on VZW btw. So i figured I'd convince my mom to buy the S3, I would pay for, get the S3 and hand over my Gnex to my sister. seeing as they're both VZW 4G phones, i figured...

So a few days ago, I flashed the leaked Official VZW Jelly Bean update, and as i was restoring my apps from google play, i noticed the download speeds to be around 200 Kb/s, i figured that's odd? the router is in the next room over, so i move over to room with the router and sit right next to...

As the topic says, I open an app and it rotates upside down >.> they wont rotate back and is stuck... started this morning. I've tried restarting the device and reinstalled all my apps. The home screens are normal. Anyone else have this issue? Solutions?
