Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Quick question. My brother has a galaxy nexus, Verizon, and looking for an extended battery with a tough case (like a kraken) or should he just have multiple batteries for backup?

Hey TJ,

I have the single extended battery in the phone, and maybe you could suggest to him one of these as backup:

Amazon.com: New Trent: iCarrier IMP120D - (12000mAh) Heavy Duty 2A/1A Dual USB Ports External Battery Pack for the Apple: iPad mini, the new iPad 4 / 3 / 2, iPhone 5 / 4S / 4 /3GS, iPod Touch all gen; Samsung: Galaxy Note, S4 / S3 / S2, Nexus ; HTC:

Now he may not NEED 12,000 mAH ( :eek: ) but I have a New Trent 5000 mAH extender and it works great.
 
Yeah, he works in the field so that isn't going to work well for him. That's why he was looking for a rugged case to accommodate an extended battery
 
Anyone hear any rumblings of Straight Talk launching a "CDMA BYOP" - Bring your own Verizon phone - option?

From what I'm reading it was to happen back in March?

Upon further reading they had it back in April for a short period of time and the stopped it with no answer of if it will be back. And it was for non SIM card Verizon phones. That pretty much means phones no Geek would want.
 
So I updated to JBS 5.3 and all text messages in SMS are white and it won't let me change the color. Barely readable.
 
Hey y'all. Sorry about the last release of Sourcery. Never took the chance to try it. Maybe they make a comeback when KLP is released? Ya never know!
 
Hey Jmar!

I have restored Ginny with 5.3 on it, I must say this Black Magic thing is pretty amazing: go from stock Gapps to inverted Gapps with the flick of a switch! So keep it turned ON and the MMS text won't be white on white.

All is good so far...
 
I mentioned it a few days ago, but here is a Yahoo story on the guy that is walking across the US. He is a really nice guy and I'm glad I met him. He stayed a week here in Altoona so his girlfriend could come visit. We hung out at a sports bar a few nights and today I took them to the train station so that she could head back home. He should be checking out of his hotel right about now and starting the walk again. Somewhere around 3,000 more miles to walk.

His first interview was here in Altoona then someone from Yahoo found out. I even think some news station in Utah might have done one also? It might become bigger than he anticipated?!

If you Twitter, follow @McHrebin

With everything wrong in the world it is nice to have a feel good story. I mentioned to him before I dropped him off it seems kinda fitting that he's a Veteran and he's starting the walk again on Memorial Day. He laughed and said yeah it is.

Question for those of you who have installed Sourcery 5.3 and BlackMajik Gapps. Is there a way to get GTalk back? It installed Hangouts, but I haven't moved to it, because of the issues with contacts in Hangouts. Is there a way I can go back?

I did use TiBU to b/u GTalk before updating, for fear that I would get Hangouts. Can I just re-install? Or am I going to BORK things all up?
 
Can't help you there. I don't use GTalk so someone else will have to chime in.

Today was a very good Memorial Day. Our annual ceremony on the Courthouse Square was attended by over 200 people in the sweltering sun- standing room only! My speech was well-received (as were the others), there were bagpipes and white doves released. Well worth the sunburn I got.

I hope you each took at least a moment out of your holiday to recognize and remember who paid the price for your freedom to spend the day as you like.

:)

A friend had her U.S. last week and they took a picture of her baby that was unbelievable hi-rez. Could see all the details of the face, and resemblance to the parents. Looked like a portrait. Make sure you get one to take home. Enjoy!

Wireless went out on laptop and I can't seem to bring it back to life. Hear I am without a long Ethernet cable.

Then its time for a new toyyyyy so it should feel like Christmas yaaaaaa
 
Yep, work starts at 5:30am.
Haven't tried it on the Chromebook, but I'm guessing it'd stumble even more than it does on my laptop. I'll give it a shot later today.
