    kind of weird I know, but my screen/digitizer is completely destroyed and I still need to use my phone. It turns on, makes noises, gets signal (I assume because i can still hear it getting calls/notifications. I remember a long time ago I had some program where I could essentially use my phone...

    Post some pics you've taken with your GNex---

    We had one of these over in the DX forums, so I'm going to try to start one here because there has been some debate recently about the quality/worthiness of the GNex's lowly 5MP camera. I, for one, couldn't be happier, the pictures it takes are MORE than good for what I need... i'm not printing...

    MHL >> I didn't even know our phones did this!

    How is this not a more hyped feature of the phone? MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) is a new proposed standard of media signal transfer for high-end mobile devices. Instead of having a separate mini-HDMI port like is featured on the Droid X, MHL makes use of the pre-existing mini-USB...
