    Help Wifi signal switching on and off....constantly

    In your notification bar, are the arrows constantly lit up? I have an orange down and green up that appears for about 5 seconds then goes away. For the first time since owning this phone, I was in a known dead zone for Verizon but I was on Wifi. It constantly dropped and i'd get error...

    Finding a charger for USB 3.0 speeds....

    I purchased an Anker 3.6A turbo charger. I also bought a USB 3.0 cable. When I plug the cable into either port - Apple and non-Apple, the phone gives me a message that says "Slow Charging, To charge faster, use the the original charger"...

    Help Google+ maps not loading

    I'm running AOKP M1. I just updated maps and joined their beta program - so I lost Latitude. My family all signed up for G+ so we can share location. Unfortunately, when I open 'Locations' in G+, the map won't load. It looks like this:

    [Verizon] Stuck in a bootloop...flashing AOKP MR1

    OK, I have had a hell of a time with this. I tried to flash MR1 last night and had problems when my battery died as it was flashing. I then tried to flash my nandroid and it said something about no partitions. Luckily, I was able to flash an older version of AOKP I still had in the goo...

    Does turning off Data while on WIFI save battery?

    Like the title says...does it benefit battery life to turn off Data when I'm on WIFI? I'm on wifi probably 90% of the day on most days. Just wondering if there is a benefit to toggle off DATA. The downside is that MMS messages cannot be received when the DATA is off - at least that is what...

    [Verizon] What is a safe overclock? LTE

    Can I safely take my GNex LTE over 1200? I don't care about battery life but I hate lag.

    Help Vzw - Google Voice search is TERRIBLE

    I can't get it to work at all. I say "call mark" and it wants to call walmart. I say"navigate to 315 Arthur drive" and it does a Google search for exactly that. I can't get it to pull any contacts or even do something simple. My wife's Droid Incredible works flawlessly. Anyone else have...

    Help (VZW) Mobile Data won't connect (randomly)

    Getting very frustrated with this phone... VZW Nexus - purchased on day 1... At random times, I am not able to connect to 3g (set to CDMA only). As I type this, it looks like I am connected but I can't pull any data. It says I have 3g with 3 of 4 bars - but its grayed out. I just tried...

    300% battery improvement....WOW

    I have been struggling with battery life for some time now. I have tried every possible combination of settings on Juice Defender but ran into issues where my 3g wouldn't connect - forcing me to power cycle. Anyway, I disabled JD but did not change anything else and now get a very noticeable...

    2 extended batts + charger = $25

    So I had pretty good success with these "china" batteries in my DInc and thought I'd give them a chance in my GNex. These are extended @ 1990mah and the package includes a separate charger. It doesn't say but usually these chargers also have a usb port on them so you could charge your phone...

    Text messaging.....ideas, thoughts, improvements, etc

    So maybe a solution already exists but I would like to have my text messages synced with my computer - maybe with Chrome. I do not like using Google Talk because it texts from my Google Talk phone number and my friends know my standard number. Can Google Talk handle my texts like they...

    Help Problem with Juice Defender....won't connect to Data after wifi???

    Frustrated with JD because I just can't get it to work properly. I have the Pro version and have set it up correctly - even following a guide I found on this forum: http://androidforums.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus/477968-good-juice-defender-tutorial.html The Problem: I sit on my wifi network all...

    Help why is it "searching for GPS"?

    I often turn on my screen and see the target icon in the top bar. Open the notification pull-down and it reads "Searching for GPS". What is telling the phone to check it's GPS coordinates? Or is it just having trouble locating the GPS signal (troubling)? I am using Juice Defender and...

    Rattle in the camera area - does your do it too?

    My phone has the slightest rattle in the top of the phone - near the camera. Is this common? My DInc did it too. Lightly tap on the back of the phone and listen near the top...does it make a noise?

    Why no 3-pin dock for the GNEX?

    It's hard to believe this phone would come with a 3-pin connector on the side of it and yet no dock would be manufactured to utilize it? Go ahead and tell me "it's coming...the phone is still brand new". Android phones are being replaced with superior models every 6 months (or less) and many...
