I recently upgraded to a Nexus 4 from a Gnex. I usually place my phone on top of the PC sitting beside my computer desk, and when I do this with my Nexus 4, it randomly falls off the PC. I guess that the slippery glass back of the phone makes the whole thing slide whenever it vibrates. As it...

I've got a Nexus 10 in my possession that belongs to my dad; he's going to be picking it up soon when he comes into town, as an upgrade for his 1st gen iPad. He's a total Android noob, and so I'm looking for some sort of help/docs, other than the little quick start guide the tablet came with...

As I understand it, the Miracast option isn't good for much until devices start hitting the market, but was wondering if the option is available on the Nexus 7 with the 4.2 update, or is that just a Nexus 4/10 thing? Since the Nexus 7 doesn't have any video out capabilities, this would be nice...

When I first got my unlocked GSM Gnex about a month ago, I could manage about 2mbps. But when I found out about APN settings and tweaked those, now I get 3.5 - 4mbps. And that is with full bars of HSPA+. Somehow, I was thinking HSPA+ was supposed to be faster than that? I don't know much about...

My Galaxy Nexus is currently out of commission, so had to fall back on my Droid Incredible for awhile until I can get the Gnex fixed, and Gingerbread is killing me :) Anyone recommend an ICS rom that runs relatively smoothly? Somebody in another thread mentioned that AOKP lagged a lot, so not...

Here is the SIM card that AT&T snail mailed me for my unlocked GSM Gnex: It seems too small, so wondering if it's the right size? If not, what do I have, vs what do I need? EDIT: I found a SIM card in an old AT&T phone, which seems to fit better: However, it still says 'No SIM card' when...

After reading about the various problems people are having with the N7, looks like this device has more issues than Rolling Stone. Thus, I'd rather buy it locally in case I get a dud, so I can exchange it without having to deal with shipping it back. Anybody know where to get one? I know Office...

After being told for the 100th time that "You're breaking up.... I can't hear you..." my Verizon Gnex is being permanently retired, since it is utterly useless as a phone. I understand that the GSM Gnex doesn't have a horrible radio like the Verizon version does. That being the case, can I just...

When I make/receive calls with my VZW Gnex, the other caller can't hear me because I keep breaking up. I've heard of mic cut-out issues, but this doesn't seem to be the same thing, since it doesn't cut out completely. I can usually hear the other person ok when this happens, esp if they are on a...

I just got this USB adapter for my PC, so that I could play audio from my Gnex thru my computer speakers (Windows 7 64-bit) from across the room: Amazon.com: Medialink USB Bluetooth Adapter - Version 4.0 (Newest Bluetooth Version Available) Class 2 Smart Ready Adapter w/ Low Energy Technology -...

Just got my TF300 yesterday. Everything was going great until a few minutes ago... was downloading some apps from Google Play, when suddenly the tablet appeared to become unresponsive. I turned off and turned back on... it seemed to be operating normally, but the touch screen would not respond...

I've heard a lot of whaling and gnashing of teeth about how craptastic and laggy the stok browser is on this tablet. Has anybody tried running Chrome? If so, how does it compare?

Just curious if anybody is using this for the GNex, or something similar: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-Blackberry-Smartphones/dp/B004CLYJ2I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329119058&sr=8-1 I've seen one report that says it works well with the Gnex. Supposedly, you can press it...

I have a Galaxy Nexus, and have a 4g signal almost everywhere I go. But when I lose 4g, instead of falling back to 3g gracefully as I thought it would, it usually goes into a coma for several minutes where no data is available, and when it does come up, 3g speeds are a bit underwhelming when...

I'm in Austin, TX and I've gotten speeds anywhere from 3mbps to 17mbps. Is it normal to have such variation in speeds just driving around town, and what is considered fast on LTE? Even standing in one spot, I've had speeds ranging from 3mpbs to 9mbps, and a couple of network errors in between...

First I got 'no SIM card' error because I didn't know it wasn't installed. Once I installed it, it tries to activate, and I get: Your mobile data service couldn't be activated. This may be a temporary problem, and may be solved by restarting the phone. Well, restarting/re-installing the SIM...

A friend of mine asked this on Google+... just wanted to get everybody's thoughts here: I know the standard answer will probably be 'well this is a Nexus phone, so Verizon can't mess with it', but do we have any PROOF of that? Is this an unwritten rule, or are they contractually bound to not...

I have a rooted Incredible running Ruby, a vanilla Froyo ROM (Yeah, I need to update, but haven't gotten around to it yet). I am having problems with my GPS crapping out and Google maps displaying the message 'Your current location is temporarily unavailable'. I also tried a GPS Test app and...

Should be getting my Transformer tomorrow from Amazon, and have a couple of questions ... - I currently have a (rooted) Droid Incredible, and wondering how the account setup works. Do I need a new account for the Transformer, or can I just use my existing account and/or transfer my paid apps...

Hey guys, I'm currently using Ruby (Froyo AOSP ROM) and have been for months, so figured I'd try out some Gingerbread AOSP roms this weekend. Just a couple of questions: 1. I remember having to update the radio when I rooted for 2.2, and my phone says I'm currently using radio version...

I'm currently running the vanilla Froyo rom Ruby, which was as close to a 'pure' vanilla rom as I could find. This rom still does everything I need it to do, and I am quite happy with it. However, I'm not sure how vulnerable I am to Android exploits that have been patched since I installed this...

When I click on a contact and choose to send an text message, my phone has somehow switched to using the native sms client instead of Google Voice, which is what I was using before. How do I tell it to use Google Voice instead of native sms? I've looked in the Google Voice settings, but I have...

I turned on my phone this morning and it said 5 updates were available, where 1 had to be installed manually. So I select to update the other 4 apps... one of the apps downloaded ok, two are reporting that the download was unsuccessful, and the 4th one (Fruit Ninja) hung on 'Installing...'. So I...

Read in the past where things weren't working such as camera, bluetooth, GPS, LED notifications, etc. And then I stopped paying attention for about a month :) But now, my phone is bugging me every 30 minutes that an update is available, so I either have to move to stock 2.2 or something else...

I'm getting the system update prompt every time I turn on my damn phone; I need to follow the guide that shows you how to keep root when going to 2.2: http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/162100-stock-2-1-fully-rooted-froyo-2-2-a.html But I probably won't have time to do that...
