Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[jasaero]

The app does NOT go full screen like the market version of the Netflix app, but the quality is 10x better. For a test I watched both Tron and Toy Story 3 for 5 minutes each on both apps to allow enough time to buffer. There is no graininess on the HD app and it just pops more. Test both out and see the difference!

Totally awesome except for the lack full screen part. Wonder when we get an ICS HD one that'll go fullscreen? Anyone have an MHL adapter to see if it does just send the video feed to a TV and go fullscreen there? That's what I would want the HD app for more since I don't have any box or TV or anything other than a mediacenter pc in a couple of my rooms for Netflix. Still totally annoyed HD streaming is still blocked on PC's other than Youtube and Vimeo.

yeah, not funny. However, big bang theory is hilarious.

Love that show!!

I am actually considering getting a case, something I usually don't do, because this phone is so wide and slippery and I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before it slips out of my hand. It's really a problem when I try to use it one-handed.

I wasn't going to get a case until I held it. That's when I knew I would need one. I love the incipio one from Verizon

I'd like to know this as well. I hate having to burn a million cd's just to listen to my music in the car!

This takes a little doing, but it works well. Had it in my old car. New one has an AUX IN, thank goodness. Really you're best off just replacing the head unit if you can, but my old car had Bose speakers that only worked with the factory head unit.

How are you making nandroid backups? CWM does not seem to be able to find /sdcard? Is it because I encrypted the phone?

Im helping tluley51 unlock and root his phone and he is having the exact same issue. I had him use the Maguro version and it mounted. I tweeted Koush about it.

How pathetic is it that I stepped off the cruise ship and went directly to the nearest VZW store to get my gnex?

 

[brocktice]

Woohoo, got my MHL adapter, bluetooth keyboard, and bluetooth mouse all hooked up to the TV and GNex this morning. Works pretty well. Some apps insist on portrait orientation (looking at you, Netflix!) which can be problematic. Mouse is a little laggy. Otherwise, great to finally have HDMI out on my phone.

Why can't I get light flow to work?? Am I missing something?

I picked up the incipio case for my Gnex and the wife's love the fit of the case adds just enough bulk to fit in the hand a little bit better and the peace of mind that the phone is well protected under normal circumstances. Also picked up the otter-box defender case for when I'm out in the field under more arduous conditions.

Make sure its turned on in settings -> accessibility

I did! Lol.

 

[woodraskam]

Not sure what else it would be. I think that's the only setting I had to change to get it to work

LightFlow actually made my phone's screen not turn back on when locked. I disabled it for now.

Did you get it from the VZW store? They're backordered on Amazon.com.

hmmm... curious. has worked perfectly so far for me. it was really bothering me there wasnt a charging/charged indicator already setup, so that was a must. also the stock blinks were way too slow, so getting all of that fixed made it much better

Yeah I don't know what the deal is. I have it unlocked/rooted. Maybe I should not give LightFlow root access?

Try and confirming that Direct Mode is unchecked in the Settings -> General Settings of Light Flow.

Morning everyone! It made me happy to open my subscribed threads this morning and see that I had 2 pages to catch up on.

Good morning! Woke up at noon today just rooted and CWM'd gonna check out a few ROMS then unroot the Inc back to stock!

It worked great for me for the past day I just rooted and unlocked and haven't installed it.

Did you check for the "direct" setting it should be unchecked

ninja'd!

There are some settings (it tells you most things to try in case your having issues) that need to be set properly for it to work right. Nice little app don't know if I'll be using it though.

Loving the nexus! Anyone have a suggestion for a good grocery app, free or paid?

Oh, I think I told it to control the s6e8aa0 LED. Turns out that's for the display. Probably that was the problem. Trying now with that disabled.

EDIT: Yep, all in order now. Nice! Don't know why the LED is used so little by the stock rom, nothing at all like the N1.

I just do as I am told the best I can. I don't know about encrypting the phone. You will have to ask the experts about that.

Anyone know of a way to turn off the option when you download an app and it automatically puts it on your homescreen? It is driving me crazy.
