I just got my Verizon GS4, coming from an iPhone 5, both on Verizon. I want to transfer all of my SMS messages from the iPhone to the GS4. I believe there's a way to do it by hooking the iPhone up the PC, extracting the right file, and then importing this to the GS4. However, I thought...

As a VZW customer who switched from a Galaxy Nexus to the Galaxy S3 nearly 9 days ago, I wanted to give a specific report on battery life. One of my primary complaints about the GNex is battery life, despite using the extended battery from day one. For those that are interested, here are my...

I currently have a VZW Galaxy Nexus. Love the phone's design, screen, and stock ICS... but have really been disappointed by the radio/antenna and the camera. The radio is such that I am rarely on 4G, and even when I am, I'm barely getting anything better than 5-7 mbps down. Not to mention the...

I have a CDMA Galaxy Nexus running AOKP Build 31 (Android 4.0.4). I have a 4x2 Beautiful Widgets Superclock widget running on my home screen and it keeps freezing periodically. I can't seem to identify a pattern. Sometimes I'll turn my screen on and the clock will be fine. Other times I...

According to this leaked document from a while back, the first VZW Nexus update was supposedly coming out in "middle to late January". With only a couple of days left of January and not even a rumor of an impending update, should we now expect it to be sometime in February instead? Verizon...

I'm not referring to wifi disconnecting when the phone sleeps - that's entirely different. I mean, my wifi speed drops to near dial up speed immediately when I turn the screen off. When I turn the screen back on, it kicks back up to broadband. For example, I installed modern combat 3...

My only experience with rooting was with a Droid X over a year ago, and it was basically a 1-click method. After reading the root guide above, things seem a bit different on the Gnex, so I've come to confirm a few things before I get started. First of all, I have already unlocked the...

I noticed that Swype is now working on the Gnex thanks to a member of xda. I was wondering (before I install it) if Swype will use the ics improvements to the spell checker and voice dictation, or does it use it's own?

I searched the forums and Google but still haven't pieced together exactly how storage works on the Bionic. If I understand correctly, the SDCARD directory is actually stored in the internal memory of the Bionic, not on the sd card, right? So in this way, any application that normally installs...

Nationwide LTE outage I con confirm that LTE is not working here in the Quad Cities (IL/IA).

BACKGROUND I bought my Bionic on launch day along with the extended battery. I've greatly enjoyed the phone, but my battery life is mostly horrible. Specifically, there are many instances of unexplained battery drain even when my phone is idle in my pocket. I don't expect miracles when the...

Today, I used Google Maps Navigation in the car while listening to music via Bluetooth in the Mog app. On my previous phones, whenever Navigation would speak directions, it would pause (or at least reduce the volume) the streaming music and then resume when it was done speaking. On my Bionic...

I installed Google Voice on my Bionic, but I keep getting an error when I try to set it up. I only want to use it for Voicemail, so when I go through the initial setup, I tell it not to use for outgoing calls. Then when it asks me to use it for Voicemail, it says Unknown Carrier and that my...

I have the Bionic with the standard battery and an extended battery. What are my options for charging the batteries outside of the phone? I want to charge one while using the other. Specifically, is there a charger that will charge the extended battery when it is not in the phone? I saw that...

I cannot remove my Facebook account from the Accounts screen. When I click on the "Remove Account" button, it comes back and says my username or password is not correct. I have checked and double-checked and they are both correct. The username is actually uneditable but is showing up as the...

We previously thought the full retail price was going to be $589, but it looks like that was just Best Buy's cost. Apparently, $699 is going to be the full retail price. Though definitely disappointing, this definitely seems more likely since the contract price is $299 (which is on the high...

A friend that I work with has an Epic, and I wanted to ask you guys for help. She uploads photos and videos to Facebook, but they are all sideways. She doesn't know how to get them to upload in the right orientation. I told her there's probably a built-in app or an app from the market that...

The first couple of months with the Droid X were liberating. I swore I would never go back to iOS, and I really appreciated the customization that Android afforded. However, I now realize that most of my frustration with my previous iPhones has been with AT&T, not the phone itself...

I'm getting this error sporadically on my dx running the leaked 2.2 (rooted). It has something to do with the audio engine because it happens when I try to play audio in an app such as the stock Music app, Doggcatcher, Mog, etc. When it happens, no music will play... It just gives the error...

I've made a lot of changes to my Droid X over the last few days and I just want to make sure I fully understand the current state I'm in with my Droid X. First, I'll explain what I've already done. Then, I'll ask my questions! ;-) WHAT I'VE ALREADY DONE - 1) Started from a non-rooted Droid...

I remember reading somewhere about changes made in Froyo in how it manages headset binding in apps. In my case, I'm referring to my Bluetooth headphones that I use almost daily to listen to music and podcasts. I use an app called Doggcatcher to listen to podcasts. There are several options...

I've been eyeing the root subforum for some time now, internally debating with myself whether to root or not. Ultimately,I realized the only reason I'm feeling compelled to root is to get the free WIFI tethering. And I'm torn over whether I should take advantage of this or not? I'm not here...

I'm trying to figure out the behavior of the Bluetooth headphone controls on the Droid X. It appears that the non-removable (without root) "Music" app has default access to the headset controls when you are using Bluetooth headphones. I've been looking at alternatives, and most of them have an...

I'm not sure if this started after the update, but every time I use WIFI and Bluetooth, my WIFI connection dies less than a minute after using it. For example, I'll connect my Bluetooth headphones and then start up a streaming music service. In less than a minute, the music stops and my wifi...
