Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Ha ha! Reminds me of the Darling Bride when we first got married. She was a Culinary Specialist in the Navy and I came home one day to find 3 pots of stew on the stove... for the TWO of us! Apparently she had difficulty converting meals for 1000 down to 2 so we had stew for like... years :D

Ha! That's so funny.
 
I have been leaving wifi on throughout the day. It auto connects to my home network and the office network but otherwise scans throughout the day but never connecting (by choice). When away from work and home, I just use 4G or 3G -- whichever is available.

I am not an expert on this at all, but I think since LTE is such a battery hog, that once that antenna/radio is turned off, then battery performance would improve. I don't see how having LTE running and WiFi constantly searching would provide a better battery performance.

I miss thousand island dressing. I cant eat mayonnaise anymore. It and my stomach have a grudge. So now I eat my reubens with mustard.

I love mustard as well. Would be hard for me to carry on living if I couldn't have mayo though :p
 
Anyone know when HBO will come out with the HBO go app for ICS? Just got my Galaxy Nexus it turns out the old app isnt compatible.
 
Hi all -- thought I'd ask this here and make sure I'm not missing something... any help at all would be greatly appreciated! I'm planning to try to exchange my lte Nexus for another one due to problems with the display. But I've already put quite a bit of time and labor into this phone and I'd like to return to exact state of my current device on the new one.

I'm unlocked/rooted on 4.0.2 (and havent flashed any roms) and will soon relock/unroot following the instructions in the root forum. Here's my plan: make a nandroid backup prior to relocking; move the nandroid to my computer; unlock/root new nexus; move nandroid to new nexus and restore from CWM. Will this do the trick?

I'm a noob to android (this is my first smart phone period), so I just wanted to make sure I've got this right before I proceed.

A related question is will a Titanium backup be necessary (or useful) for my purposes? I don't quite get what Titanium backup does that isn't covered by a nandroid backup. I've tried to read up on this, but I'm afraid it's all a muddle in my head. Does a nandroid backup not backup apps?

Thanks again!

For this particular case TiBU won't provide any additional benefit. It's useful when swapping ROMs around. A Nandroid will restore everything.
 
Moving backups/nandroids from phone to PC then back to phone and then restoring I've never had luck with. They're touchy/fickle at best fwiw. It might work though that's the problem. Nothing wrong with starting over from scratch I can't think of a better way to learn!

The nandroid is a "system image" just like system restore on a windows machine. It takes a snap shot of everything on your phone just the way it is when you create the backup aka everything.

Congrats on your first smartphone what a way to jump in! :)
