Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

What do you folks think of the "tiny houses"? Honestly, I'm quite the minimalist (aside from all my gadgets) and could certainly live by on very little. Wife would have none of it as her clothing collection is insane! :eek: Would be nice though once you're older and really need next to nothing.

That's awesome! It's like a little cottage :) Wonder how much those cost?

Interesting. I'll be sure to do that when I get back to the states. I assume newer is better.

That would be my assumption as well, but hard to say; that's why i wanted to see what everyone else is on and if it has changed any performance issues with signal strength.

Here is where we are now with
Running list of PRL's:
52686 Copacetic, Chief, Ryan, Svt_geek
15098 JMar
15109 Anti, Capt.

Good morning all - my PRL is 15109 for those keeping track.

gummyNex 1.0 became available tonight - might flash at work if I get some downtime, but I don't want to bootloop in the office because that wouldn't be too good although I could always take a nandroid to get back just in case. Also waiting on the changelog from kejar so I know exactly what has changed.

Working on some scripting at work today and then finishing up prep work on my wheels for paint this weekend. So excited!

Here is what I found on the Website "The roaming zone"
VERIZON WIRELESS
Note: Verizon issues several PRL's with each revision, and the one you receive depends on your plan, phone model and location. The order of roaming partners among all PRL's issued on the same date is virtually identical. PRL's in the '65000' range are generally sent to former Alltel customers who have kept their old Alltel plan.

March 15, 2012: 52686 - 52707 and others

December 8, 2011: 52631 - 52644 and others

October 20, 2011 (Includes 52549 - 52559 and others)

September 21, 2011 (Includes 52501 - 52526 and others)
52501 Nationwide/AC II EVDO

September 15, 2011 (Includes 52418 - 52440 and others)
52418 Nationwide/AC II EVDO

I'm glad you're the one who brought up performance issues. If I had used that phrase there's no telling how the Girl Guide would have responded.

Now, now captain, are you pointing a finger at our beloved BB?

I do believe he was. Especially since it was determined yesterday that I am the only girl guide right now. :p

Since I can't respond with a PG13 response I'll not say anything at all. :D

On that note, I'm off to bed. I apologize for sleeping while most of you are working, but since most of you were sleeping while I was working I guess it's okay.

Sleep well!

Good morning all. I had to stop at CVS this morning to attempt some self medicating. My sinuses have kicked my arse the past couple days and I can't try to wait it out anymore. Got sinus headache pills and a nasal spray. I know some of you swear by neti pots but I just can't do it. The nasal spray is much easier cause it is quick. Here's hoping it all works!

Are you close to the mountains?
It's actually a little chilly here today. About 40 now, high of 60 today which is just fine for me.

I am on Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau, so no mountains within 3 hours of me except the occasional Monteagle and Lookout Mountain. Up to 34 now, thankfully...

May I recommend taking a Claritin (I use the pharmacy brand) with an Alka-Seltzer Plus. I think that stuff will cure just about anything :)

Neti pot solves all - you can do it!
I've tried. Numerous times. The last two resulted in a not so pleasant time over the toilet. Its one of those things I can't seem to get past the gagging. (Yes, I'm well aware of ALL the comments that can be made :p)

If this combo doesn't do it then that's next Chief. Thanks!

I feel you. It was another morning of getting up early since I couldn't breathe. An employee gave me what she claimed was a Zyrtek yesterday. Yeah, I know, don't except drugs/candy from strangers :rolleyes: but I was desperate. It honestly didn't do anything. I've used generic Claritan in the past but the dry mouth is just too much.
Hope you feel better!

What's funny is that most of the time if ANYONE complains about sinuses then I am feeling it too, but today I am actually fine. *knocks on wood*

So supposedly I need to step away from my desk to flash gummyNex 1.0 since it has a boot animation sound so be right back, going to flash this now that I have a nandroid and Titanium Backup done.

Flashed gummyNex 1.0 - might dual boot (via Boot Manager with AOKP but we shall see). The boot animation is Nyan Cat with the music and it made me LOL. Restoring my apps with Titanium right now, but so far it seems snappy.

Hey y'all!

It is my understanding that dialing *22899 is a great way to fry your LTE SIM. Can't remember where I read it but I know that I did. Anyone with any info on that?

I read the same thing over at XDA -- I won't *22899 my phone, but it seems that people above have had no problems doing so.

Not sure how dialing a number that programs the phone could fry a SIM card? I guess it's possible, probably play it safe and not do that anymore then.

According to everything I read this am, that was a problem in the past, but no longer. Some of you will recall some phones were actually doing it on their own not but a month or so ago. Verizon says prls are pushed to our phones and we no longer need to force them to update. However they had me do the 22899 thing both when on the phone with them as well as in the store. So far I have not had any issue doing it other than getting to the latest prl..
