Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Wow. Finally caught mostly up in the old thread and read the endings. Touching. I find it fiitting that it concluded on page 1776 as we celebrate independence from UI overlays with our (mostly) unadulterated Nexus! Thanks, BB, for giving us this calm place to relax and have fun. I'm stuck at work now til 7pm since I didn't get in til 10:30 after grabbing my Nexus. It's the end of my pay period, so can't make up hours later. No biggie, though. Save for not being able to have my phone in here with me. Alas, it's in a locker downstairs powered off with about a 39% charge since activation this morning. (At least I got to play with it during my short commute). It downloaded 4.02 minutes after it was turned on. Tonight I suppose I'll have to charge it the rest of the way before playing with it more. I wasn't enthralled by the low max volume level when playing a youtube video on the store's demo unit, but perhaps there will be a fix for that. I'll do some more testing this weekend with the knowledge that I'll be in good company with this lot when I do. More importantly, though, I'm way overdue for some rounds of Angry Birds from my saved games. :D
 
Just HAD to get some of these today (this was my third pic I took with Nessie...picked up the details pretty well I think, for taking a pic of the box!)

If Han's farewell was a blank, that is the most hysterical post of the entire thread.

I've had problems with the AF app FC'ng , plus the AF servers have been wonky. So just tell me if it really was blank.:)

Huh. It's blank for me now even after a page refresh. Too bad, I thought it was an excellent conciliatory post. I had thanked it, but that doesn't seem appropriate now. :confused:

No, those of us who bolted for Rezounds are the dirty, whorish, unfaithful tramps. :p

Well, I am enjoying my GNex for the most part, although I do have a couple of things that I do not like and that is with the contacts part of the system. I'll list those issues here in case someone knows a solution.

Whoaaaa, whoaaa there: You're not allowed to post on-topic stuff in an off-topic thread! j/k, but you'd be a lot better off posting it in the actual I-have-a-new-Nexus-pls-help-me location.
 
I picked up two Nexi today, with two extended batteries and a couple of double covers. They will be Christmas presents for the wife and I to each other. We have 3 kids, 1 who firmly believes in the guy in red suit, 1 on the fence, and 1 who knows the secret. So there will be no early opening of Nexus boxes. We must wait to put on a show for the kids.

But they are sitting in the Verizon bag, taunting me....

...must...wait...until...Christmas!!!

Hmmm..... since *I* bolted for a ReZound, said I was keeping it, sang it's praises over and over (it IS an AWESOME phone), and then ran out and bought a Nexus today (I DID manage to hold out...... until lunch), does that make me a LYING, dirty, whorish, unfaithful tramp TIMES TWO?!?!?! :p
 
so i don't get 4g here at work. boo.

couple questions:

anyone know if it's worth switching to 3G only (CDMA only in network setting) to save battery?

also, moto's got their smart actions you can set up. any suggestions on a similar app for our sexy g-nexi?

But you need NORAD to show you where Santa is on Christmas Eve!
 
Hello everyone, my appointment went as scheduled and I am the proud owner of my first smart phone. Oh boy, the things to learn....Had to go straight to work after purchase so will play and study new phone tonite. This new place looks kind of familiar to my former lurk zone which is sadly, but happily closed down.

No, that makes you a GOP candidate for president. :D
 
Argghhh... my order from LetsTalk has been back-ordered just like everyone else's. I wonder how many they actually had in-stock. :(
 
So I just went through to read any farewell posts I missed, and both mine and Han's are blank on my browser... Haven't read Han's yet, can anyone see it? If so would you mind PMing to me? Thanks!

I guess you are right, I'm just used to the other thread where the occasional on topic post was encouraged as long as you didn't get carried away with it.
 
So after owning for 5 hours, I couldn't be happier. Battery life hasn't been wowing me, but I never expected it to and it seems more than adequate.

If you didn't blank your post then presumably neither did Han -- especially given the short Edit time intervals. That really sux. Do you think it was a mod or some forum snafu?

Oh no, I was just kidding. (My bad.) You're certainly welcome to post that and I hope someone has answers for you Shades!
