    Help identify gel/blob game

    I was in Barnes and Noble and my kids started playing a game I want to find. I didn't get a look at the name. The game is set up on a grid (maybe 8x8). And there little blobs spread around. You have to swipe the blobs so they run into each other to make a large blob. If you miss, the blob...

    I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus, I have a ton of games on my device that I never play. I really only get them so my kids can play on my phone sometimes. For Christmas I'm getting my daughter a Nexus 7. Basically, I want the games and a few apps on the Nexus 7 and not on my phone. So, how does this...

I have found that there are typically...

    [Verizon] Phone Abnormally Slow After Flashing JB

    EDIT - Nevermind, I figured it out. It was my live wallpaper. Apparently it's fine for ICS but there is a problem when it runs on JB. It's Paperland Live Wallpaper. The developer is aware of the problem. I rooted and flashed Bugless Beast on my Nexus a few days ago. It was my first time rooting...

    Case Chafing the Phone

    I got a TPU case because I wanted to protect my phone and keep it looking new. So I'm disappointed to find that dust in between the case and the phone is wearing down the finish on the edges. There are a few small spots were I can see the plastic underneath the paint, larger areas appear dull...

    Punctured My XO Skin Screen Protector

    In my pocket was my phone, an extra phone battery, and a quarter. I was at work wearing jeans (not very tight, not very loose). I took my phone out of my pocket and I saw a horrible bubble and tear in the screen protector. It doesn't look so bad now because I worked the air bubble out, but the...

    The Thing I Like Least About My GNex is...

    For me, it's a tough call between the ultra weak speaker or the ultra weak vibrate motor. Even with Volume+, the speaker is still too weak for my liking. I miss so many calls and text messages when my phone is on vibrate only, it's ridiculous. I even use Lightflow to generate multiple long...

    Disappointed with the onscreen buttons

    When I first heard the Genes would have a massive screen with onscreen buttons, I was excited. I thought it would be nice to play games, watch videos, browse the web on such a large screen. I also figured the screen buttons would be customizable in some way. It seemed obvious to me, otherwise...

    My "Custom" Diztronic Rev. 1a Case

    I originally bought the Rev. 1 Diztronic Black Matte case and was pretty happy with it. When Rev. 3 came out I got one too, and like it even better. But... I really bought a case to provide some protection around the edge of the phone in case I drop it. The smooth back, although nice, doesn't...

    Phone Specific ICS Updates

    I'm new to the Android universe and have a question. When are we getting the 4.0.3 update??!?!?!?! j/k My understanding is that 4.0.3 has been available for some time on other devices and "unofficially" available for the GNex if you install a custom rom. Does that mean that 4.0.3 is done...

    Is Handcent always so slow?

    I got a G-nex about a month ago. It's my first android phone. I installed Handcent a week ago and noticed its pretty laggy. I notice it most on the text popup screen, where the keyboard is so slow i can barely stand it. Is this typical of the application? Edit: i forgot to mention that im...

    Most Common Keyboard Mistake?

    An onscreen keyboard has taken a little getting used to after using a physical keyboard for years (BB). I cant type nearly as fast and make several more typos than I did before. I still love my phone and dont regret making the jump to an Android based phone without a physical keyboard. The...

    Help Power Control Options

    I've looked but couldn't find any sort of "power management" section under settings. I know individual items can be tweaked to increase battery life, but I want to have different settings depending on whether or not the phone is plugged in. Basically, whenever the phone is plugged in, I'd like...
