    Another iPhone disaster

    The phone is using up customer's data plans rapidly even while they are hooked up to wifi. Who wants to bet this isn't a glitch, but something actually planned in the back rooms with the telecom companies? IPhone 5 Wi-Fi glitch leads to big data usage - Technology & Science - CBC News

    Help System Update - "Download failed"

    I was never prompted about downloading a new update. This morning I went to the system updates page to see if jelly bean was finally available. On this page it automatically said that an update was available, but it also said 'download failed.' I never even tried to download it before. I...

    What is wrong with the calendar widget?

    I would like to actually get some use out of this widget, but it keeps saying "no upcoming events." That is not true. I have plenty of events in my calendar. I can only assume that it will only show events that are scheduled for the same day, which is completely useless to me since I like to...

    Android icons as default for contacts

    Back when I had a phone running Gingerbread, I liked how the default icon for a contact was a green android guy. I never have real pictures of my contacts saved to my phone. Since ICS has been out I don't like how the default icon is some ugly silhouette of a person. Is there any way to...

    Does a factory reset sign out of your google account?

    Or does it only delete the contents of the phone while remaining signed in? I am asking because when I chose to do a factory reset it told me that I was signed in to my google and dropbox account. I didn't understand if the phone was telling me that I will be signed out of these accounts after...

    Just got a GNex-why no jelly bean?

    I switched to wind mobile (Canada) yesterday and had to get a GNex since my Nexus S would not work on their frequencies. My Nexus S has had jelly bean for about a month so I thought it was safe to assume that a GNex would instantly be ready for an update. I have tried the trick of clearing the...

    Tethering on Wind mobile (Canada)

    I am looking to switch to Wind from Koodo. I am interested in the Wind 40 plan which includes unlimited data. I really need to use this data for tethering since I am trying to avoid spending $50 a month on cable internet. Between my time on campus and with the tethering I should be fine...

    Help How do I access the internal storage?

    This is truly baffling me. I exported a file from my dropbox to a folder in my internal storage. But I cannot figure out any way to actually access the internal storage to open this file. I want to be able to access the file and then choose which application to open it with. I went into...

    Question about jelly bean

    When I was watching the Google i/o one of the features they demonstrated in jelly bean was the ability to reply to emails and text messages directly from the notifications bar without needing to open the app that performs these tasks. I can't seem to get either of my devices to do this. I have a...

    EzPdf reader

    This is the most confusing app I have ever used. I can't figure anything out. When I annotate something it is saving over the file without creating a new file. This isn't what I want to happen. There are simply way too many options to scroll through.

    SwiftKey tablet on N7

    I tried using the stock keyboard but I hated it, so I bought SwiftKey. One thing that is bothering me is that the predictions are so damn small compared to the phone version and there doesn't appear to be a way to change this. Does anyone know what I can do?

    Any harm in using phone charger to charge N7?

    Since the charger is way too small I am wondering if using my Nexus S charger would be safe. It plugs in fine but I don't want to risk it without asking first.

    Jelly Bean on Nexus S

    The Nexus S forum is dead, so I'm just posting here. We heard that the update would be coming in "mid July." I'm just wondering if there is any more specific news about when we will be getting the update.

    Stands

    I just ordered a stand that looks like it will work perfectly with the N7. Just thought I would share since it looks very nice. I'll post the link to the official website, but I actually ordered this off ebay for a pretty cheap price...

    Stylus

    Can anyone recommend a good stylus that I can use with the Nexus 7? I will be using it mostly to annotate pdfs.

    Nexus case not available in Canada?

    I find this slightly odd. The official case for the N7 is not yet available in Canada according to the play store. Will it be? If I go ahead and order the N7 I would like a case for it, and preferably I could order everything I need at once.

    A few questions

    I'm interested in ordering this because the price is great and I would like something primarily for reading (mainly pdf files, but also books and maybe some magazines). First, I want to know about whether Google is trying to fully control the revenue stream. If I wanted to buy books or...

    Phone not working properly after deleting usb storage

    I deleted my USB storage and then added some files from my computer to my phone. Most (but not all) of the files that should have been deleted are still present. All the music files are there, and the photos show up in the gallery but the files are actually gone. The files I added are not...

    Help Does it come unlocked?

    I'm always a bit confused about whether phones on contracts are unlocked, and I don't even know what it entirely means. If I get the Note on a 3 year plan with Telus (Canada) is the phone unlocked and am I the owner of the phone as long as I fulfill the contract?

    Is there anything a tablet absolutely cannot do?

    I will need a new laptop by September since my MacBook has serious hardware issues that I am tired of wasting money on. I was thinking of getting the Transformer Prime with the docking station. Does this function entirely like a laptop computer when docked? I need to know if there is anything...

    Changes to GetJar

    I have noticed that GetJar seems to have changed recently. The selection of gold apps has reduced drastically and there is also now some rewards program that I don't understand. What is up with these changes?

    Help I want a Note - a few questions for owners

    I am interested in upgrading from my Nexus S to a Note. I love big screens, and some of the functionality also seems useful to me. I will be starting a Masters program in September. As a student I have been interested in getting a tablet for the functionality of it, but I don't really want...

    Help with stock email app

    I'm trying to set up my university email account. I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't possible because my school uses very outdated software for all of their online stuff. The email client the school uses is called Birch. It looks like it was released in 1994 and never updated. But anyways...

    Still no ICS update

    As far as I know I should have got the ICS update for my Nexus S by now. I am with Koodo mobile in Canada. My friend who is on Telus (same company and network, different brand) got his update. Am I doing something wrong? I usually have my data shut off so I don't waste it. Could this be...
