Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[HanSolo]

While on the subject of gaming, do I need to play the earlier Elder Scroll games to understand Skyrim? Or will I get as much out of it going in fresh?

 

[clearym]

Was wondering if anyone new of an app that that can be used to create a widget that will perform multiple tasks? For example, when I go to place that I get little or no signal but can connect to wifi I will turn airplane mode on (with a widget), then turn wifi on (with a diff widget), then in call settings I check the "receive internet calls" option (use google voice and native SIP integration). I'm wondering if anyone knows of an app that would allow a single toggle widget to accomplish this all in one???

Thanks for any and all help.

Sounds like you want to check out Tasker. It is a multi function app. I don't use it but have heard only good things about it. Check to see if Llama does what you need as well. I'm sure others here can suggest additional apps as well

While playing the other ones helps with some of the lore and how some of the organizations work, you'll be fine without having played the rest. All of them hold up well on their own and all you need to know is in the game somewhere.. like in the books you run across. Since each game is essentially a different country each time, there isn't really a lot linking them together beyond the world/lore.

is there an outage on verizon today or something? I flushed the new radios and gummynex yesterday through cwm and 24 hours later, I have no 3g. 4g works fine but 3g says it gets a good signal but the bars stay gray and no data. Any suggestions?

Have you tried flashing back the older radios to see if it corrects it?

not yet...trying to do a little research first...would you suggest I try that? I was actually thinking of flashing the new radios again.

I would flash the older radios and test out your 3G. There could be a 3G issue in your area who knows. I wouldn't try flashing the same radio atop one another. With the Inc, although quite different, flashing the same radio twice could brick the phone. I don't know what it'll do to the GN

Something that was posted a a few days ago about the camera was instead of just tapping the button to snap off a quick pic is to HOLD your finger on the release button till the camera focuses and then release the button.

Thanks, easy enough to test. I like that the picture taking is instantaneous, I don't mind holding the shutter button and give the camera time to focus. that may improve the focus, but will it improve the image quality? I think HDR will actually improve the image quality. But I haven't tried it in daylight yet.

well that's good to know, haha, glad i didn't try that. what about something less drastic first, like pulling out the simcard? could that help reset it? In the status it says eHRDP:13, in service, and either connecting or disconnected. Signal strength seems good. it looks as if it is on 1x but thinks it's on eHRDP13

anyway, how would I pull out the simcard on this thing? I've always had verizon, this sim card stuff is new to me.

Sure you could try it, that is supposed to reprogram (or reactivate) the phone afaik. Also updates the PRL, if needed, from what I have read.

Pop the back off, pull battery, push the little sim card inward till a click to release it and slide it out. Kind of delicate and tedious it's a little awkward removing it. Leave it out for a bit then put it back in the same way it came out & making sure it "clicks" and locks in place. Install battery and boot her up

 

[mistermojorizi]

tried it, did nothing. guess the next step is to try and flash the old radios back...my battery is low and i'm charging the phone, is it bad to flash with the phone plugged into the charger?

edit: I charged it up to 17% and said OK, enough's enough i'm gonna plug it into the computer to flash it anyway, so it'll be getting some juice. All of a sudden 3g magically came on (about 5 hours after it disappeared). So...the phone knew what i was planning and got scared? I'm gonna go to sleep now, and see how it does overnight I guess. Don't know if I should still flash the old radios back tomorrow. Don't want it to go out on me again. I was in an area tonight with low 4g and couldn't get any data b/c the 3g was out.

I already miss being able to roll over and go back to sleep.

Good Morning Nexlings.

Having a little alarm problem -

After your alarm goes off if you accidentally leave the alarm screen the alarm just keeps going off with no way to get back to the screen? What am I missing here?

Not sure about that, but one thing that bothers me about the alarm is the volume /power buttons don't quiet it

It should show up in your notification bar. Pull it down and click and it will give you the option to snooze or dismiss.

Well I just used Google Wallet for the first time to get a drink from the vending machine. Pretty awesome. Back at work today, eh.

Good morning everyone -- happy new year!

Took a break from the internet for the past few days, just basic stuff on my phone, but really didn't jump on any forums. Wanted to hang with friends and family to start off the new year and it felt great to get away for a few days.

Back at work now and looks like we're gonna have a real busy year.

Hope everyone is well -- missed you all!

 

[Lucky Armpit]

You got the 4.04 update? I wasn't aware that 4.03 had been officially released yet.

Did I miss something?

/agree. I'm on 4.0.2, unrooted/stock, and mine says there are no updates available...?

Welcome back! We missed you too.

The radio on this thing is really starting to get to me.

Where I sit at work has 0 bars of service (sits at -120dBm sometimes) and my connection times out such that when I do get to an area of service I have to toggle airplane mode sometimes for it to work. I just wish they would move my desk (unlikely) or fix this radio or something.

Grrr.

Check out this re-worked ICS browser. Tons of new features including extended quick controls.

Do you guys have comparison to places you went with your "old phone" versus the nexus and compared how well it holds calls.

Mine is sort of 10 years ago, in it's reception. It doesn't drop many, but they fade in and out for 2-3 seconds, like they used to.

Same stretches of road, that sort of thing.

Is that the Radio, you're talking about?

speaking of signal... especially Han and any others who are in the chicagoland area...
I get crappy 4G in the city but glorious 4G in some of the suburbs. What gives? I've seen some amazing speedtest results and really low dbm... in say, Schaumburg, but in Chicago, I'm lucky to keep 4G, inside, outside, north side, downtown. I would think it'd be the opposite. I even installed that BAMF 4G LTE toggle, but switching to LTE only gets it stuck, trying to find signal, here in the city.

I'm currently on the EK06/EK04 radio (4.0.3 leak) on Axi0m 2.3 ... is anyone getting stellar 4G on another radio/rom combo, in Chicagoland, that I should try?
