    Looking into the S3. Couple of questions!

    I am due for an upgrade next month and can only afford a phone that is under $100. Thankfully, technology has reached a point where I no longer feel far behind if I don't have the top-of-the-line phone. I am looking into both this and the Droid DNA, however with the DNA's SIM Card Error being a...

    Looking into the DNA. Is the SIM Card error still happening?

    The SIM Card error I have read about it is a real deal breaker for me when it comes to this phone. The hardware is beautiful and with Sense 5 on the horizon, the software is top notch. However, my GNex currently also has a problem with the SIM card that requires me to pull the battery, pop out...

    Update coming up, best Verizon phone?

Right now I have the Galaxy Nexus and am looking at the Droid DNA and the Galaxy S3. Which of these phones would you all consider to be "better?" (at this point...

    Girlfriend just got the RAZR and has some questions

    Verizon Wireless didn't give her an SD Card with the phone so she is unable to use apps like Zedge that save wallpapers/ringtones to the SD Card. Is there any way to change it so that she can save these things to her internal memory rather than the SD Card? Also, her phone seems to be...

    [Verizon] Is the information in this walkthrough correct?

    I am a noob rooter/mac user. I have been wanting to root the Nexus for a long time but held off because none of the ROMs out there really seemed worth it to me. Now though, JB is out, and I do not want to wait however long it takes for Verizon to push it. I noticed Wugg's Toolkit only works...

    Apps Brand new Dev...little overwhelmed

    Hey guys. I am looking to get into developing apps for Android. It is super interesting and I think I would have a lot of fun/enjoy doing it. The only problem is that I have NO coding experience at all. I learned extremely basic HTML in a computing class I took, but even then I had almost no...

    Sim Card Error?

    Lately my phone has been going nuts. I am unable to make/receive calls/texts because my service goes completely out. My phone says that I do not have a SIM card in, but I do. I have to reset my phone, sometimes twice, in order to fix the problem. Anything I can do to fix this? New phone?

    I exchanged my RAZR into VZW a few days ago and realized I forgot to wipe my SD card before I did. Do they wipe it when they factory reset it?

    Hello, my precious little Nexus!

    Should I Buy the Nexus?

    Currently I have the Droid RAZR. It was originally a Rent-A-RAZR, but then I sort of fell in love with the phone. The form factor is amazing and it is everything I could hope for a phone to have. Fast, no lag, and is the Android I know and love. The battery is even pretty good for a 4G phone...

    New phone this fall/winter

    What's up guys! I used to be on here quite a lot (lurking mostly). Started with an Eris, went to a Droid X (that got stolen.....), and then ended up with a Thunderbolt. However, I ended up switching to a Verizon iPhone because the TB just had too many problems that were deal breakers for me...

    I never knew about wiping the battery stats when I first flashed the ROM on to my phone...this was quite a few weeks ago when I did it. Is it ok to wipe the batt stat now? Or should I wait until I flash a new ROM?
