    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"...

    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...

    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...

    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 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...

    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...

    Help Any 3G/4G toggle widgets out there?

    So I blew through 70% of my battery in about 3 hours - phone was in my pocket. It was actually hot in my pocket. The only thing I can find that caused it was the phone being in 4G mode. I wanted data on but didn't need 4G. I know how to switch it through the settings menu but would really...

    When I scroll down a long homepage, the screen gets goofy. Below is a screen shot taken while the screen was scrolling. To clarify, I flicked it down (to scroll), then took the screenshot. You can see how some text looks bold. When the screen slows down, it looks normal but this is how it...

    LTE GNEX - stock with Go Launcher and Handcent?

    So I turned on my new GNex this morning, hit home and it asked if I wanted to use Go Launcher or Stock Launcher. I then went to send a text and it asked if I wanted to use Hancent or Stock Messenger. Why does my brand new phone have these apps on it already? I use both of those programs on my...

    Explain "Bloatware" and "watered down".....Prime on VZW

    If the Prime comes to Verizon as the Droid Prime or Galaxy Prime, many speculators have said it will be "watered down with TouchWiz and Bloatware" - what exactly does that mean? Having only ever had the DInc with Sense, I don't know what a "pure UI" looks like. Is it really better? Why? Does...

    Why such limited activity on xoom forums?
