Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole - Page 524

Stigy · March 11th, 2013, 10:23 AM

UGH jeez - now my text messages aren't sending out this morning.

This phone is lucky it hasn't met a wall at high speeds yet. I might just go back to a stock AOSP software or maybe JDX ROM.

If this keeps happening its new phone time or it may be time to go to the dark side, but that is the absolute last resort.

breadnatty08 · March 11th, 2013, 10:29 AM

I hear you.
Rhapsody keeps causing problems. Often it just closes, turns off. If I hit home or try to multi-task or have 4G switch over, it just closes. I've tried clearing data/cache, uninstalling/reinstalling. If I reboot it usually fixes.

Wife has never had a problem with it on her Bionic.

The_Chief · March 11th, 2013, 10:52 AM

Well, the Chief is having problems with Dragon Naturally Speaking today. It seems this remote microphone app on my Galaxy Nexus really doesn't want to cooperate with the program on my computer. Had to uninstall the app start all over. So far so good.

Hopefully it will behave this time.

Wow, DC Metro was a mess this morning!

So glad I don't rely on it for commuting.

Good! Maybe you can hand-deliver a few messages I have for our "leaders" up there

Anyway, Dragon appears to be cooperating now that I've re-installed the Remote Microphone app. Really cosmic how it all works.

breadnatty08 · March 11th, 2013, 11:57 AM

The ones at the Capital or K St?

AntimonyER · March 11th, 2013, 12:03 PM

Haha why do I think those messages would be lost in translation

I had to drive into savannah today at lunch, reminded me why I hate traffic so much, so I'm with Chief on the rural vs. urban.

breadnatty08 · March 11th, 2013, 12:04 PM

Ironically, I've no idea what's going on with the bus schedule.

Doing a happy dance right now.....I'm in week 9 of the Running for Beginners training I found and week 3 of Zumba classes.....I have a wedding to attend on March 23rd and couldn't figure out what to wear......my mother remembered a dress I wore for my brother's rehearsal dinner in 2008 and it's loose!!!!! Not so loose I can't wear it but fits better than it did!!!! And surprisingly....I have found I enjoy running, at least on a treadmill. I'm waiting for warmer weather to try outside again (I froze last time).

I thought it was going to be really bad and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. The overall story worked, for me. I never read the books of Oz so if there is a back-story book of him I hope it did it justice? If not, I wonder if Mr. Baum would approve? At one point I was reminded of Star Wars and Dragon Ball Z.

Hoping to go watch it in 3D.

ryancmatchett · March 12th, 2013, 06:56 AM

Morning all...
Glad I made it to Tuesday, Monday was rough. Hope everyone's week is going well!

AntimonyER · March 12th, 2013, 07:04 AM

Keep it up BB! I like to run too, just been do busy that it's hard to make time

Yeah that scam email thing pisses me off. Hopefully karma really exists

It's a gloomy, rainy morning here. Hopefully it clears up, I would like to see Comet Pan-STARRS tonight.

Stigy · March 12th, 2013, 07:36 AM

Good morning all - gloomy, gloomy Tuesday.

I saw Oz this weekend with my mom, she's a huge Wizard of Oz fan and I really enjoyed the movie. James Franco played a really good wizard and the story was really well done. If you have any interest in the movie at all, its definitely worth a see.

Also, I had a sample of my Blue Moon clone last night after three weeks in the bottle. So far its definitely an amazing beer, tastes just like the original. Honestly will probably only get better with time.

I think I may have finally lost my mind....in a good way. I'm signed up for a 5k Dirty Girl Mud Run in August AND I just registered for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk in NYC in October. For those not familiar its 26.2 miles on Saturday and 13.1 on Sunday. They are putting my information packet in the mail this week. I'm happy, nervous, excited and determined all at the same time.

breadnatty08 · March 12th, 2013, 05:49 PM

Best of luck, BB!

Those are great causes you should be proud of.

I do. I want to meet all of you! I feel like I know you....I love her pins on Pinterest and from what you've told us of her I'm sure we'd get along....and your little guy sounds like a trip!

The_Chief · March 12th, 2013, 06:24 PM

Wow, almost 40 miles - great job BB! I don't like driving that far!

AntimonyER · March 12th, 2013, 06:39 PM

Wow BB, sounds awesome. We have a relay for life coming up soon, I may try to walk all night, we'll see if my wife let's me.

By the way, kid destruction story of the day. This time is my youngest, Noah. First, took a hot wheel car to the back of my brand new laptop, scratched it all up.

then took permanent marker to the kitchenette table, and to top it off, created a crayon masterpiece... On my DLP tv.

In my living room are very few possessions of "value" to me: a 15 year old TV and a couch that looks like a piece of junk.

In the span of 27 months all of my "valuable worldly possessions" have slowly migrated to my bedroom.

Sorry about your stuff dread. I really am...but you gotta get it out of the way fast!

Remember, everything that your child can see or touch is theirs...never forget that. I learned that when my son ripped the HDMI cables from my TV, frayed in his hands, all while he laughed and smiled. That day I spent 3 hours removing "valuables" from the living room.

Thankfully he loves bacon. But he is a terrorist nonetheless

Nah Treb, it's just not my style to slam an entire website just because an editor let one lousy piece slip by. "Lousy" being MY opinion ONLY

I DID, however, send the author one NICE little love letter in the "ask the author a question" (or something like that) link. So if you feel inclined to throw a comment or two his way, know you're not alone... I'm way ahead of you

From the article:

You can get an iPhone free, but most people who get them don't.

Really?? That makes iPhone users real smartphone users because they spend money they don't need to? I don't mean this as in insult to iPhone users, to each their own. This article is an epic fail for complete lack of supporting facts.

I've tried so many commercial chocolate beers and honestly, the only one I've liked is from Rogue. I believe it's essentially Shakespeare Stout with chocolate extract added. But, man is it good.
