Was looking at some Anker charging hubs, but wanted to make sure I'm shopping for the right accessory. My N7'12 has become *very* slow to charge without any changes in the adapters or the cables I use, so it's sensitive to power issues. Amazon has a big selection at Amazon.com: anker usb...

I have the 2012 N7. In the past few weeks the performance has deteriorated to where I can hardly use it at times. It's very slow to open apps, the keyboard can be slow to respond, and at times when updating apps, the estimated time is over an hour to download rather than just a few seconds. In...

I have the Samsung i500 Showcase from StraightTalk (Verizon towers). Am I in the right place? I can't seem to find a forum dedicated to this phone anywhere and I would love to talk (grumble, haha) about it! From what I've been able to find out this device is similar to the Fascinate and...

Is there a way to boost the wifi reception strength? My Android phone and laptop both pick up wifi signal great in the corners of my home, but the Nexus 7 drops the signal or just has a weak one dot in those same places. Seems like I have to be within 10-15 feet of the router to get a really...

I love the screen on the N7. It's 4x the size of my Droid phone screen. What's your favorite weather app with high res radars? I'd like something that uses this large screen well. Thanks!

My V is about 15 months old with the original battery. I'm down to 3-5 hours on one charge, no GPS, WiFi, etc running but doing occasional tasks and listening to some audio. I do airplane mode on/off after unplugging to help with "time without signal." I rooted the phone about a month ago, and...

Now that I've rooted, can I turn off USB debugging?

Could someone walk me through rooting my V? I'm a first-timer. Here are my specs: LG Optimus V Model: VM670 Android 2.2.1 Baseband: VM670ZV4 Kernel: 2.6.32.9 lge@android-build #4 Build # FRG83 SW Version VM670ZV4 HW Version 1.2 I want to root to free up space and allow some larger...

The last couple of weeks, the battery life on my V has been dismal. I'm getting 1/2 a day, tops, before having to plug in. When I unplug, I can't think of anything I've done or downloaded recently that was out of the ordinary to cause the poor battery life. I'm coming up on a couple events...

After a recent Market app update, my phone now associates all of the V's stock apps with all three Google accounts I use. When there's an update available, I have three icons at the top of the screen instead of just one. And when I go to each account to see which apps they are, it's always the...

I hope someone can help me diagnose this issue. I have a fairly new Motorola bluetooth earbud paired with my Optimus V. It works GREAT in the house and has fabulous range. My phone can be in the house and the bluetooth will work even out in the yard a little ways. No complaints there. But...

I use the Posterous app on my V to cross-post photos to Facebook & Twitter. The app is not movable to SD card, and every post increases its size. My app currently has 9.69MB of data that I can clear, but I don't know what that clears and I don't want to lose posts/pictures. I've emailed the dev...

Anyone have tips or workarounds? When I receive a picture text (MMS), the photo doesn't download automatically and I'm given a "download" button to fetch it. But most of the time, I get an error and the photo doesn't download. This happens even when wifi is turned off and I'm only on 3G. Any tips?

I'll be on a cruise next week, stopping in Nassau, Bahamas. I may take the phone into Nassau to connect to a wifi spot and send some photos, delete junk email, etc. Am I right in thinking the device won't be able to connect to any phone networks? I don't need to call anyone, I just want to...

(I posted this in another thread, but it's kind of buried. So ....) I use Stitcher probably more than any other app. After an update a couple days ago, the program now tells me it needs 25+ MB free on either the ROM or SD card to run and auto-closes most of the time. I have freed up about...
