My Galaxy Nexus (bought December 2011) has just started dying, complete sudden switch off, no normal power-down sequence, for no apparent reason. Happened maybe 8 times since yesterday when it started. It will re-boot (if Power-on pressed etc..), seems otherwise normal. Running 4.2.2, stock...

Readers may be interested, particularly in UK... I'd had three repairs done by HTC (or their UK agents, Regeneris..) on my little 'droid... one for free (as it should have been..), the other two charged for (almost

Anyone got Sky Go working an a stock Galaxy Nexus in UK?? Any suggested links for .apk?? had a look on xda but completely confused.. Regards & thanks in advance.. PS "Sky" is a UK satellite broadcaster: "Sky Go" is their watch-TV-on-Mobile App. It seems to be available for some 'droid...

Well, just got my old Nexus One back from HTC after (hopefully) getting fixed (weak 2G signal...). Giving it to the wife & set up a new Gmail etc ID for her (she's got an old, very dumb, Nokia she uses for voice & txt only...). So, power it back on, stick in a spare SIM I'd happily used...

Don't seem to be able to find where the status bar symbols, particularly network, are documented.. e.g. like they were for my old Nexus One here.. *** NB This is NOT repeat NOT true for Samsung Galaxy Nexus *** i.e. so I can not guess what this lot means... (recent clip off my 'phone... )...

Guys: I've found the "Quick Start Giude" (24 pages, UK I think..on Samsung website..) and both a Verizon-front-paged 108 page User Guide and as-far-as-I-can-tell-same-last-107-pages Google ICS User Guide, 107 pages... http://www.google.com/help/hc/pdfs/mobile/AndroidUsersGuide-40-en.pdf...

Sadly after 18 months+ happy ownership I managed to trip over the charging cable yesterday and, whilst the glass survived ('phew!!) the micro-USB socket is now much looser and appears a trifle bent. It works, data transfer etc & charging, but the charging cable falls out easily, especially...

Hi guys... This is weird.. Had the dog for about 6+ months now, love it. Runs stock, 2.2.1. I have different ringtones for 'phone ringing, gmail notification & calendar alarm... In last week or so these have changed a couple of times for no apparent reason (nope, it wasn't me!!): Easily...

Guys I've had a few times (6?) over 3 months found my N1 will "wake-up" when power button touched, but the unlock screen is entirely unresponsive. It then won't power off fully & only solution I've found is a battery pop... sounds very like this guy with the Droid...

I usually use my car's inbuilt SatNav (well, bigger screen, bigger buttons 2 press) but ran good 'ole Google's a couple of times recently... (it does things the car's doesn't... ) and found the beast was hot / very warm afterwards & the battery only @ 70% whilst being used plugged into a...

A weird one this, Gallery displays a couple of folders of pics that are not on the SD card that I didn't want. I was cleaning up my folders & pics etc. etc. and couldn't delete these.... Found the names, the dates, hunted for them on the card, couldn't find them (including hunting from...

Guys 'n Gals.. (drove past one of Jimmy Savile's houses today.,..) My Nexus One reports "My phone number" (Settings => "About phone" => Status ) - as the SIM number before my "previous 'phone" number was PAC'd and ported... The PAC transfer happened about 3 weeks ago.,... The phone appears...
