    Accessories Recommended After-Market Extended Battery?

    So I've been without my phone for almost exactly one year (screwed up ROM, then I lost the damn thing in my house and only just now found it). Now that I have it though, the extended battery that was in it seems to be completely dead, and I'm currently charging up the original OEM battery. Can...

    Rooted, running Sourcery (not sure which version anymore tbh), CWM recovery. I dropped my phone last night and originally everything seemed ok. I woke up today to see it saying that my SIM card had been removed... Ok no problem, happened before after dropping it.. pulled the battery, removed...

    New Charger?

    A relative lost their charger for their Nook HD+. On the Barnes & Noble website, it's listed, but not for sale. Checking the stores, it's out of stock, and can't be ordered at all. The best I was able to find was a data cable, without the charger, on Amazon for under $8. I haven't been able...

    Help Softkeys broke, need to backup contacts. (No Root)

    So on a relative's Rezound, their softkeys completely stopped working (which I see has become something of a common problem for the Rezound as of late). They made an insurance claim, and got a replacement Rezound. All is well with that phone. The problem is, that the contacts from the old...

    [Verizon] Swype on JB ROMs (any fix for funky behavior?)

    Is there any fix for keyboards acting all funky on JB ROMs? I've only run two JB ROMs so far. One of the ones based on the leaked GSM backup from Google I/O, and the problems with Swype annoyed the hell out of me. Been using Sourcery 2.2 for a few days and it's pretty much the same deal. The...

    Still holding off on rooting? You might want to now, before your Gnex gets nerfed.

    Google, is going to release an OTA to disable local searches from the search functions on the Galaxy Nexus. It's in an effort to avoid the ban that would result from the injunction granted in favor of Apple against Samsung and Google regarding certain (questionable) patent claims. Basically it...

    [Verizon] A few questions (backups, restores, etc.)

    So I finally got settled into a new ROM (This one, with the radios and the power menu + tethering mod, both linked in that post), and have both it and my old stock ROM as NANDroid backups. Most things are good so far but I have a few questions: 1. What's the best way to backup browser...

    Rezound GPS sucks?

    So a family member has a Rezound, and recently tried using its GPS to record walking tracks to know how far they walked. They tested several programs all with the same results. This is a screenshot (with streets edited out) of what happened when they went for a walk and mapped it with My...

    Hardware quirks/issues?

    I've noticed a couple things about my Galaxy Nexus and was wondering if anyone has anything similar going on with theirs. First, the more concerning of the two, there is a slight rattle when my phone is shaken front to back. The rattle is coming from somewhere in the vicinity of the camera...

    Recover account password from device?

    Ok so here's the deal. My mother had a Droid 2, setup a gmail to use with it and all worked well. Well, when her car charger broke the store rep talked her into upgrading to the Droid Razr. Only problem is she didn't recall her account details so he set her up with a new gmail account. Things...

    Help Random reboots?

    Yesterday I was browsing the forums on my Galaxy Nexus (on wifi), and the phone just randomly rebooted. Screen went black, I figured the screen timed out, but a split second later the white "Google" appeared on the screen. Today, I was sitting at the computer playing video games, with my phone...

    Google Earth doesn't work?

    In the market it says I have Google Earth installed. In the marketplace website it says it's installed. However, in the market there's no option to open, uninstall, or update. It's not in my app drawer, nor is it in my app list so I could try uninstalling it manually. I really wanted to test...

    Help Restoring/backing up apps via USB?

    So since the Galaxy Nexus stupidly doesn't have removable storage, we have to use MTP or PTP to transfer files. That's leaving me unable to restore some old apps I had on my old phone. Namely, Note Everything's folder doesn't show up on my PC with my Galaxy Nexus hooked up. I copied the files...

    Screen durability

    I'm considering the Galaxy Nexus as an upgrade from my Motorola Droid. One thing I LOVE about my droid is the screen. The amazing picture quality aside, I really dig how strong the Droid's Gorilla Glass screen is. In all this time, it still doesn't have a scratch on it, and I haven't exactly...

    Upgrade advice

    So my Droid is well past eligibility for an upgrade, and I'm finally considering taking the leap. Right now the only two contenders appear to be the Galaxy Nexus, and the Droid Bionic (I'll take a look at HTC's offerings as well though). I'm really not sure which, if either would be the way...

    "No downloads from Android Market" WTF

    Ok, so even before the latest update I've been having this problem and I just can't take it anymore. Every time I open my Market and switch to my Downloads, it shows no apps at all, and simply says "No downloads from Android Market". I have a TON of apps on my phone. In fact my phone is...

    Voice Actions

    So I was watching TV, and playing with my phone, and saw a commercial that mentioned how you can launch certain apps and do certain actions via voice commands. I had forgotten about that frankly, and have only used it to navigate before. So I tried to launch a song. No go. So, after a very...

    Youtube go boom?

    On 2.1, Youtube started acting up giving me the "This video cannot be played" message very frequently... but I could still play the occasional video. Now on 2.2, Youtube won't play ANY videos, and if I try to play enough videos it locks my phone up. It went black screen, killed my live...

    Help Internal sensors, Orientation, Finally pissed off.

    Ok, so I've been putting up with it for long enough, and now it's finally got me pissed. My droid's sensors (forget what the sensors are called...) are messed up. I can have my phone sitting perfectly level on a flat table and it'll keep flipping between Portrait and Landscape. Now let me set...

    One Droid down... Should I go for two?

    I want to start out saying I'm not posting this in the support sub-forum because I want open opinions on this, not help with an issue. I just returned my first Droid because the audio-jack was all messed up. I got a replacement that has a number of other issues, and am wondering if it should...

    Help Audio jack... worth returning?

    So, to start, I'm still in my 30day return period... for a little while longer anyhow. I've been noticing come crackling. I've noticed it with two different pairs of headphones, and it seems to mostly be due to the plug (I wiggle the jack and hear crackling and/or it clears up). I do not have...

    Playing streaming music

    Is there any way to play Streaming radio stations other than apps built for specific services (like Pandora/last.fm/slacker/imeem). To clarify, I mean online radio stations, that use .pls files to play streams. Some also have plugin players, but since Flash isn't on the Droid yet I'm not too...

    Problem with Brightness

    I did a search and didn't find this specific problem mentioned so here it goes. The Eris in question (isn't mine but I'm trying to help the owner out), has of course, horrible battery issues. So, first thing I wanted to do was see if there was a built-in power-manager app like on the Motorola...

    Music on the Bluetooth Headset VZW sold me (can it be done)

    So when I bought my Droid, the offered me a "Bluetooth Package" which included the LG HBM-210 headset, a case, and a car charger (I can't remember if the screen covers were included or seperate). Is it possible to play music on that headset? Right now, after I pair it with my Droid, it only...
