Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Decided that I am going to start helping in the general Android Lounge threads when I have some downtime at work. It was nice when people helped me when I had questions so I figured I could give some back. Gonna do some looking for some other sections where I could provide help too.

You can always check the unanswered threads as well. Lots of stuff in there at any given time.
And thanks, I'm sure many will benefit from your decision

I don't think the story would flow quite right if she wasn't a bit helpless/damsel-in-distress/naive about things. Maybe that's just me though.
Last night wasn't new, was it??

Right, but I hadn't watched last week's.

It's more than her being helpless/damsel in distress. She is so self-righteous and yet does terrible things, and then cries when someone wants to call her on it.

I just hate her.

There, I said it. I hate her. I hope she dies.

In other news, it's a beautiful day in Chicago today! :)

You made me lol for real.
I do want to smack the crap out of her but no, don't hate her. I think too many women identify with her on some level to completely hate her. But that's my take on it, I have been known to be totally off base before.

Its gorgeous here today, except for the wind.

Hmmmm....

My extended battery has been misbehaving lately.

Ever since Launch Day, I've used Ginny as my bedside clock, plugged in, and awakened to a full charge for the day. For the last 2 mornings, though, I have been awakened by my alarm... followed by a low battery alert! :(

SO: It's either the Nexus charging circuits or the battery. I think I can safely eliminate the circuits, since the phone charges up fine during the day. That leaves the battery.

I'm back on the standard battery for 24 hours to see if it charges overnight. If it does, then it looks like a call to Verizon is in order to get a new extended battery.

We'll see what happens tomorrow morning...
Hey Chief, check your bedside charger, I have multiple chargers at my house and one of them stopped working.

worst part of it all. this D1 refuses to root. even after multiple SBF's :( i've never had to use stock android this long, i'm dying inside :p

My sincere sympathies. I have to fix phones in my house and troubleshoot for family so I feel your pain on stock and how different it is when you're used to playing.

I have never had Spam.
You must try SPAM, there are entire cook books for SPAM alone.

Exactly what BB said. I finally made my out of my device forum when my wife's phone had problems. I saw users in the Rhyme forum that had general android questions and I was able to help. Then I started using the Unanswered Threads link, which brought me all over the forums and into device areas where I otherwise wouldn't have wandered.

You can always find someone with a notification issue, a questions about why they should root, where can they get ringtones, etc.

You also do development as well, do you float around in the Applications Development forum? I would imagine you could pass forward some insight in there as well.

Took this shot on my way to work this morning - somehow caught this bird in the shot, which I was later told was a hawk.

Happy Monday Nexians! It looks like everyone successfully survived the holiday weekend.

BTW here is the text from Zuck:

Mark Zuckerberg said:
I'm excited to share the news that we've agreed to acquire Instagram and that their talented team will be joining Facebook.

For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests.

We believe these are different experiences that complement each other. But in order to do this well, we need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram's strengths and features rather than just trying to integrate everything into Facebook.

That's why we're committed to building and growing Instagram independently. Millions of people around the world love the Instagram app and the brand associated with it, and our goal is to help spread this app and brand to even more people.

We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience. We plan on keeping features like the ability to post to other social networks, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, and the ability to have followers and follow people separately from your friends on Facebook.

These and many other features are important parts of the Instagram experience and we understand that. We will try to learn from Instagram's experience to build similar features into our other products. At the same time, we will try to help Instagram continue to grow by using Facebook's strong engineering team and infrastructure.

This is an important milestone for Facebook because it's the first time we've ever acquired a product and company with so many users. We don't plan on doing many more of these, if any at all. But providing the best photo sharing experience is one reason why so many people love Facebook and we knew it would be worth bringing these two companies together.

We're looking forward to working with the Instagram team and to all of the great new experiences we're going to be able to build together.

Well, there goes Instagram. Goodbye. It was a fun week.

Yeah tell me about it. I ADORE the app and have an unhealthy relationship to Instagram. Now it just seems like they sold out. Although there is a small part of me that is hoping things will go relatively unchanged. Im not holding my breath though.
