Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

This seems to be the most logical reasoning they mention:
It's about stowing: If there's an emergency, the airline doesn't want the compounding fact of phones and tablets whipping through the air.

The wife always does what BB says. Puts in airplane mode, turns off screen during takeoff/landing but not completely off. So far, we've survived. ;)
 
Happy 12/12/12 to everyone as well.

BTW I do the same - my phone goes into airplane mode and just turn the screen off. I use it to listen to music for the flight. I mean there are some airlines that provide their maps on iPads now - the passengers need to be able to use electronics on the flight.

BTW on the beer related front, we have fermentation!

I had a mini panic attack this morning......I was browsing the interwebz and then realized it was time to get moving so I closed the browser and hit the power button to lock Nyxie. When I got out of the shower I went to check if my lovely insurance company got back to me yet.....but couldn't. Nyxie was unresponsive!!!! :eek: Power button didn't work. Had to pull the battery and it took forever to boot back up. Seems to be ok now but it was not a cool feeling to have a dead phone for a bit.

Hope everyone is having a good 12/12/12!!

Sounds like the screen of death / sleep of death that happens to me sometimes. Not sure what actually causes it, but my two fixes are a battery pull or to press the power button and volume buttons a few times and give it a minute or two. It usually kills whatever process is hanging up the device and starts to work again.

It is scary / annoying though.
 
You guys are my brain trust and I need your advice.

I turn the sounds off at night, but I would like to whitelist family members so their calls and texts can override the silent mode. I have found some whitelist and profile apps that let ringers through, but not text alerts.

Do you know of an app that will accomplish this?

Muchas gracias in advance.
 
Have you checked CritiCall? It's in the Play Store. After being in a wreck and stranded for hours because my Darling Bride was asleep with the phone by her bedside - ALL SOUNDS OFF! - I installed it on her phone so MY number would ring through despite her settings. Not sure how many numbers you can whitelist with it, but I like it.

I use Bedside. It gives me a night clock and silences the phone for alerts, calls and texts except for the phone numbers I white list.

Thanks guys. Heading to the Play Store now to check 'em out. Hopefully they allow texts to get through as well.

Chief,

Glad you like it. Like I said, once I found it, it has worked wonders for me.

And yes, it does work for text messages as well.
 
Howdy folks. Been a busy few days for me and I haven't been around much. Evan was sick and work was hectic. Hopefully I'll be around a bit more.
 
Evan's good now, though sleeping. Work is work, won't change. Here is a place I go to brag about or vent about RL stuff if you know what I mean.:)

Just playin with ya, bud. Wayyy too easy. :D

So on the way home, super packed bus. Woman about my age is sitting next to me and naturally I look over to see what phone she has (that's ALL I'm looking at!). And, she has a Nexus! :)
I ask her if she likes it and says she loves it. I mention I don't see them too often but she says she sees them all the time. :confused:
She has a really cool green android Cruzer case on it. :)
It wasn't rooted or anything so I showed her the "magic" of Sourcery. Yeah, I'm a geek like that. :p She was pretty impressed and wished me a nice night.
Fun times.

I hope you didn't ask her to beam with you, what would your wife say?! :rofl:
 
Since I bought mine on launch day, I've only seen 3 other nexus phones. One was my GF's, one was my cousin's (who just sold it to get the Note 2), and this one random guy in the cafeteria where I work.

Speaking of launch day, 3 days until the official 1 year anniversary of when us Verizon launch day users got our hands on them. Man time flies.
 
Wow, i can't believe we have hit a year in just a few short days. Made me think about the salesman at my Verizon store... He is probably already gone, but I love my nexus more each day. I really don't know if i could switch to a non nexus phone. Hmmmmm...... Happy almost Anniversary all you release day buddies!
