    "Made in the USA"?

    OK, I am 100% for anything made in the USA and willing to pay a little more for it. However, I am not sure that this phone really is made in the USA or is it just partially assembled in the USA? 1. The US does not have the manufacturing infrastructure of Taiwan, China, and others. 2. The...

    VZW: How to diagnose and debug the radio issue!

    You can come to my house, walk over to the Verizon Tower 500' away, connect your analyzers to my phone, and use what ever other equipment you need. There is no worry about recreating the problem because it is consistent. It is always poor at best. Your engineers can quickly determine the...

    Nexus vs Rezound - Speedtest.net

    My office mate came in to work today. With most people out, I was able to perform a side by side test with no interruptions or bothers. I ran the test again and the Nexus was still 50% the speed. Wait.... I looked at his phone in more detail and found that he was going to a different server...

    Help Reasons to return the GNex

    OK, before everyone goes ballistic and disagrees with this post, this is strictly my observations over 4 days with the GNex. I do understand it is new and updates will come. However, if it is hardware related, there are no updates. Poor signal strength: My office mate has a Rezound that...

    Help <1Mbps down

    I know it has been slow, but at my house with a tower 500 feet away, I am getting <1Mbps down. I am not going to wait around for the updates that "may" fix the problem.

    Promo codes?

    I have called VZW CSR 4 times trying to find some promo I qualify for on a new phone. They say there is nothing out there for my number but I will get the 2-year contract pricing. 3G to 4G LTE upgrade "CH4GE": does not show up for my phone Customer Loyalty: No $50 discount No other discount...

    3 VZW Stores, all same answer...

    I called 3 VZW stores that open at 9AM near me. All are giving the same canned answer: go to the website to register for updates and "within the next few weeks". It is interesting that they are all saying the EXACT same thing. I guess they have to read a queue card or risk getting in trouble.

    Retail stores on 12/19?

    Will the retail stores have the Nexus Prime on 12/19? The reason I ask is that all pre-orders are pretty much gone. The only way to get one on XMas is through retail stores. I am hoping Best Buy, Game Stop, and/or Tiger Direct. I really want one for XMas for my daughter.

    12/08 - Is it a pipe dream at this point?

    We have rumored, dwelled, and hoped for 12/08 to be the release date. Now, 3 days away, VZW has not announced the phone, made any communication of its existence, or any other information. 1. The sign up page has not sent any notification on the Galaxy Nexus since it went up weeks ago. 2. If...

    VZW Announces they will skip the Nexus now!!!

    VZW has announced that due to on-going bugs that they are going to forgo the Galaxy Nexus for the Samsung Galaxy S3. The reason for this decision is that the Samsung Galaxy S3 better aligns with VZW's marketing plan to continually offer shitty smartphones with the false promise of flagship...

    Euro Benchmarks

    OK, now that this thing is out in the UK or soon to be, can some of you great people over there post benchmarks? I know it may not be a valid test due to multiple cores. At least it is something on a production level unit.

    Mobile movement to clouds...

    With Apple and Google pushing this cloud initiative, why are carriers not doing the same? What I mean by this is if much of our data is to be stored on the cloud, we will be constantly downloading and chewing up our data. Fortunately, I have unlimited data on VZW. However, those with 2GB...

    VZW Announced, now when?

    VZW announced the GNex already. Although no date was given, doesn't VZW usually only announce when there is a week or so to go to launch?

    Benchmarks?

    Are there any benchmarks out there of the announce level phones? I have been searching a little and have not found anything.

    What is ICS?

    My village called and want me back. They are having a hard time finding their idiot. I am trying to understand what ICS is? The reason I ask is that it is supposed to be in or part of Ice Cream Sandwich. I have to be the slowest person on the Android planet not to have seen ICS as the...

    Raleigh, NC 4G LTE (slow?)

    I was at the Brier Creek Verizon store today looking to see if the Bionic met the hype. I do not want this to be a Bionic discussion. What I did while there was test the 4G LTE speeds with Speed Test. The results were horrible (5M/1M). Devices tested: LG Revolution, Samsung Charge, HTC...

    No Fanfare

    I was expecting to hear something from somewhere on the release of the Droid Bionic other than Android sites yesterday. All I can say is that I saw nothing on it any where other than these sites. Pretty much what came out yesterday was expected: people saying why they like it or hate it. The...

    Original Droid...upgrade

    I keep getting emails and texts to upgrade my original Droid (today is the 1st day for the day 1 adopters). The problem is there is nothing out worth upgrading to. Droid 3 has no 4G LTE support. TB has battery issues and is a single core. Droid X2 is dual core, but no 4G. The next logical...

    Android vs iPhone

    I have always been a dangerous techy. I know just enough to destroy the world without knowing what I am doing. In other words, I think I can do anything without knowing enough to do it. I am a tinkerer and no where near as technical as many of the people around here. My wife was due for a...

    Motorola Phone Portal

    I am such an idiot. Can someone tell me where the Motorola Phone Portal application is so I can sync my computer to the phone wirelessly?

    Charging accessories...

    Since the Droid is a micro-USB connection, I am assuming that we do not have to purchase the over-priced Motorola/VZW accessories? All that is necessary is standard car/wall adapter that accepts USB input. Then, any micr-USB cable will suffice. A quick look at different sites has the...

    No VZW News?

    OK, all this hype to hear about a VZW phone and all they drop is a stupid T-Mobile phone? Sorry a little buzzed, it is not stupid, just stupid no VZW phone. What a waste waitin gfor 09/10 to hear about Sholes.

    What to do while waiting...

    OK, like many people out there/here, I am waiting for Android to come to Verizon. To be honest, I am not too familiar with Android other than the little bits I have read on several sites including here. Since I do not have a device, it is almost foreign to me. 1. I know it has a bunch of...
