    Help Sometimes I don't get texts.

    As the title states. At first, I thought it was just an apple thing. I had a couple friends with iphones sending me texts and I never got them. Then my other friend with an HTC sent me a text I never got and so did my dad who owns a flip phone. I'd say I miss 1 in 5 texts from only some people...

    Any damage to your Nexus 6 (water, drops, screen scratches, etc.)

    In this thread, I'd like members to post damages to their N6. Weather it be on the back, on the glass, water, droppage, etc. From previous experiences with Gorilla glass 2 and 3, I've found the glass to be VERY prone to scratches from even very light use. I can't find a case or screen...

    Help Nexus 6 randomly turns off

    Not even a week old and my phone has shut down twice for no reason, and not restarted without me turning it back on. I'm stock, no root, barely any aftermarket apps installed. I had a similar issue with my N5. Should I return it for another one in my 14 day window? Or is this common on the nexus...

    Will Lollipop bring us wifi calling?

    Pardon my ignorance and I'm doubtful, but is there a chance? I have almost zero reception in my apartment to send pictures, videos and even make calls. I've been with every carrier and I must be in a dead spot. May switch to the N6 if otherwise....

    Android 4.4.3? (ITS OUT!! 6/2)

    Heard rumors of this due to people still having battery drain issues due to the camera. I have no issues myself, and Google has failed to actually announce this update. What do you guys think? Who's having issues still on 4.4.2?

    Help Google Play Music keeps turning on?

    So every time I get in my car the Google Play Music icon appears and starts running. I am connected via blue tooth for calls, so I don't know what's happening. I'm also experiencing terrible battery life while the phone is sleeping. If I turn the phone off and on it seems to solve it. I have...

    Notification bar Not always transparent.

    Anyone finding that once in a while the notification bar will be dark or even a light dark. I have this happen a few times a day, but touching it or pulling down remedies it. Just wondering if I'm the only one, and if not, will there be a bug patch for this?

    N5 keeps adding a home screen by itself?

    So my nexus has 5 home screens again, when all I wanted was 4. It keeps adding one to the far right. The screen indicator shows 4 dots and a + sign to the right of the 4th dot. What is going on? Am I somehow adding it by accident? Every day now this has happened. Also, how do I delete it easy...

    Do you think we will see 4.4 Kitkat as our last update?

    So the S2 started life with gingerbread, then got ICS, then it's final update was jelly bean. I know we are rumored to skip 4.2.2 and go right to 4.3, but do you guys think the S3 will ever see Kitkat? Just wondering because I may buy out the remaining 10 months of my contract w/ verizon and...

    New droid razr m for my girlfriend. Opinions?

    Hey guys. I'm coming here from the S3 page (what I own). My girlfriend is getting her first new smartphone for free on Verizon, droid razr m. What does the m stand for? Is it maxx? She wants a screen protector and case. She drops her phone often, so I figured the otterbox defender is her...

    Just watched the S4 unveil in NY. Total let down.

    I just watched the Galaxy S 4 unveil in New York City Times Square. I must say it is a total let down. Although there are many new improvements to TouchWiz, none are significant and none will be used in daily life to be realistic. It's safe to say that I will be using my galaxy s3 for a long...

    Is Verizon stuck on 4.1.1?

    My friend has a Verizon gnex. I know he's 3 updates behind and I'm aware of how laggy vzw is with updates, even on the gnex. He said he read somewhere that vzw is done with nexus devices and he won't upgrade to anything above 4.1.1. Anyone know what I can tell him? I thought for sure he would...

    When is Verizon getting Jelly Bean?! Official thread if you're PISSED OFF!

    Saw a leak that a final build was made in October. Posted on their Facebook and they said "if". What does "if" mean? Like we won't get jelly bean? Come on! Anyone heard anything? Also heard Google is trying to pair up with Dish to have their own wireless carrier because they are tired of US...

    What you (WISH) 4.2 would have brought.....

    What is 4.2 missing that you would have liked in a new piece of software? I'll start. - Allow infinite scroll of home screens -Add or Delete home screens. Who needs 5? 3 is enough for me.

    Thinking of switching from S3 to Galaxy Nexus. Help me decide.

    2 months ago I was lucky enough to find a Nexus 7 at game stop. Once I enjoyed the pure google, I felt spoiled. I enjoy my S3 a lot. I know hardware wise it's the better phone. But the GNex is calling my name everyday. And before you say it, yes, I know the Nexus 4 is coming out on Tuesday...

    Root [Verizon] If I root and install jelly bean, what happens when the official update rolls out?

There is a shop here in Houston that roots and installs jb for $40. Thinking about going there on Saturday to have it done. I dont mind...

    Why even bother with 4.1? Straight to 4.2!

    So I'm on Verizon here in Texas, US. Now I don't know a lot about software development, but I've been reading and I'm semi savvy with how things go. My question is, with 4.2 supposedly being released on 10-29, why even bother with the 4.1.1? Why not just skip it and release 4.2 for everyone in...
