12 pounds of ribs with my homemade rub ready to go in the smoker. Pam's going to make macaroni salad for a side. Hopefully I can time it for the end of the race.

4.8? that's waaaaay too big. Don't they know we've hit the sweet spot of 4.65?
Update: I have just wiped my 3rd Nexus (2nd replacement) and Verizon is going to send me a 4th Nexus (3rd replacement). I asked for a new in the box device but was denied. This Nexus, as I think I stated earlier, has a very dim display in low light conditions. It seems okay in normal light conditions but the display is so dark, some things can't be read. I don't think I mentioned this but the latest Nexus also didn't go through activation. It just turned on to the home screen and reported there was no SIM card. Thought that was strange. I wiped it and it did the same thing. Interestingly enough, when I wiped it this last time, it took a lot longer and now it's prompting for activation. Sigh.
I dispatched an email to Joyce at Verizon, as she was the one that initially promised we'll get to the bottom of this. She's also the one that told me I could pick another device should we not get the problem resolved, so I told her what the rep said today, which is that I'll have to contact Samsung myself if I want a new device and I can't go with another device since I'm not eligible for an upgrade. I'm waiting to hear back from her. I'd like a new device simply because I want to see if one that was manufactured later than the initial batch behaves any better or differently than the others.
It's very frustrating that I can't seem to get a device to work properly. Is it just me? Am I being too picky? Should I accept the fact that something isn't going to be right on one of these devices and shut up and just live with it?
Again, don't mind me. I'm just very frustrated.

Lol. Funny.
Android is how I met my bf though.
(I should probably say AF not just Android)
So if things work out will we all be invited to a virtual AF wedding?
(I'll need plenty of notice so I can find something appropriate to wear)
Knowing what I've seen, I would insist that they put you into a new RAZR or Rezound (and I have a strong personal bias for the Rezound).
What I'm about to say isn't scientific. I am even ok with being flamed (within friendly limits) for saying it, even though I have a red name tag, because I know it's not going to make sense to people.
But, bizarre as this sounds, it's the truth:
With several of the major phone releases I have participated in, there are always one or two people who have a karma mismatch with the phone in question. Not their fault, just is what it is. I have actually seen more than 4 cases (just off the top of my head) where they have gone through more than 8 replacements (I think that the record that I have seen is 14), and never getting a working copy. Refurbs, new, hardware version changes, different software - and nothing helped.
And then people start to question and flame them. And they were good people, not seeking insane perfection, not abusive - just living proof of the statistical adage that anything that can happen, might. In statistical terms, they are the -3 sigma cases.
So I just call that a karma mismatch, you call it whatever you want.
Maybe I am wrong, I often am.
But if I'm not, the sooner you get off this merry go round, the happier you'll be.
Sorry, I hope everyone trusts that I have nothing against you or the Gnex.
I just think that this is starting to sound like one of those weird cases.
I get the Rezound doesn't have ICS. Here's a ROM that does.

I'll go put on my asbestos boxers now.
I for one am following your story closely as I am in the same boat minus the phone swaps for refurbs. I am one dropped mic call from requesting a Rezound myself and the only thing I have going for me is that I am not a frequent talker so I don't have many opportunities to drop a call. However, I agree 100% with needing a phone to behave like a good phone when called upon (pun intended).If I had to pick between the two, the Rezoud appeals to me and I don't mind the HTC Sense skin as much as MotoBloat. I hope it doesn't come to that as I really, really, really like my Nexus... but I need my phone to act like a phone and if the Nexus doesn't do that, then I'll reluctantly have to move on. But again, I'm not ready to give up yet!
What would you possibly need 41 megapixels of data for?And, 41 Megapixel camera!! [/url]
Anyone else college baseball fanatics in here?? We're now full swing into the season! Couldn't be happier!
Not fanatic but I enjoy college and minor league games much more than MLB.
Logged into my Blackberry Appworld account to find out I've already sold 25 copies of my Weight Watchers app -- did not expect that at all.
Good way to start my week!
Morning all...hope everyone had a good weekend. Had some problems with reboots, activations, reboots, and apps closing all weekend....had to factory reset and reinstall ROM and kernal for whatever reason last night. Not happy with that.....but appears to better now.
Busy day ahead with boss and coworker deciding to take the day off....and notifying me at 5am today. Gonna be one of THOSE days I guess.
But I have new toys (new home build PC) arriving today so at least I will be able to have a beer and relax while I assemble my new beauty tonight. Hope everyone has a good day!!!!
