    Help Activating the Nexus outside your usual coverage area??

    Got the Verizon Galaxy Nexus while on vacation (wet Droid X). Never could get decent data signals on the NC coast. On the way home it got better. My address on the Verizon coverage map is dark in the 4G color (as well as the surrounding area), but that obviously does not mean anything. I can't...

    Early Upgrade - Nexus??

    Have a Droid X that is eligible for an early upgrade. Not sure if I'll wait, but wanted to know a few things in making this decision. 1.

    Help Can you update to a specific PRL?

    I got 2 Droid X's last Saturday. If you hold mine and my wife's side by side (in the house), she gets 3G and 3 to 4 bars, while mine is 1X or lower with no bars 90% of the time. The folks at my local store did a *228, option 2 on my phone and asked me to the same when I got home. Distance...

All I can find on their site is what the per MB charge after the %GB you get with the monthly hotspot plan. Once I get more comfortable with it, I'll...

    Deciding on Which Android Phone?

    Thru my government employee discount I can get (thru Verizon) either the HTC Incredible for 0$ or the Droid X for $99. My wife and I would be getting the same phone. I've read both forums, many reviews about both till my head is swimming. So I'll approach this differently. My wife and I both...

    LauncherPro Install Question

    Can't find the answer to this anywhere. We are thinking of getting the Droid X and I like what I've read about LauncherPro. Question is... is this just an app that is installed from the marketplace and works OR does the phone have to be rooted before installing?
