Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Hi. It's me again :)

So I just got off the phone with Verizon and they are sending me a replacement Nexus...
This morning when I got to work, I plugged my phone into my computer (which I have done before) and the computer was not recognizing it. Hmmm...So I tried to just plug it into the wall outlet and I wasn't getting a charge. Hmmm again. So I get in my car to charge it on my car charger, guess what? No charge. Hmmmm. Get home and try the charger I charge with every night since release day. No charge.

Anyone have/know of a fix for this? Or any troubleshooting steps I missed? I REALLY don't want some junky refurb when my phone has been METICULOUSLY handled by me...not to mention having to unroot and relock it, then unlock, reroot and rerom the replacement...

What are the spec requirements for Android 5.0. I wonder if our Nexus will meet the minimum?

Never mind the question. I know the nexus should have problem. Typed before I thought :)

Think like a corporation (or worse, Verizon) and the answer will be obvious: pre-ordained obsolescence, thereby forcing consumers to buy the next-gen device. :afraid:

I hope this is not a new trend that makes it hard to find places not doing it. I have an awful reaction to the stuff - and I found that out by accident thanks to some people I thought were friends.
Had brownies a couple times. Stuff just makes me fall asleep. :eek:

Good night AF, I am at the moment exasperated. See you in the morning.:afraid:

Was it the call to action in the Guides forum that put you out? :rolleyes:
Sleep tight, we'll keep it rolling in here for a bit.

Woohoo, power is out. Thankfully two youngest are already asleep, because we only have one flashlight... Need to address that :p

I sorta miss those nights growing up. We're on completely underground power here so it's gone out a total of 2 times in the past 3 years.
Last time had to use the Droid to tether to our laptop in order to watch some Hulu. First world problems for sure. :eek::)

Quick possible silly question. I previously owned the Droid x and did root it without problems. A friend just asked me to root an x they own and it is not activated. Can I root a currently un-activated phone without issue? I just don't want to screw up someone else's phone....

Anti, we use to be a household with limited flashlights until Harbor Freight started giving away little flashlights with purchases when you had a coupon. I think we have about 20 of them now, they are everywhere! lol

Is anyone else a little worried about these phones coming out for Verizon now? First they gimp the hell out of the One X to make it the Inc. LTE, Note is nowhere to be found and the SGS3 is either not released or needs to have it's processor totally changed to work with LTE.
I guess, when it comes time to upgrade from my Nexus, I'm hoping Verizon either releases another Nexus or at least has a super phone that's not another Moto Droid.

i've been with VZW for 20 years. this is nothing new. phones here always suck but the network always rocks. the nexus is the exception that proves the rule of course.

Yeah, that sounds like something we would do, haha.

Good morning all. Going to be an interesting day due to some personal issues that need to be worked out. Going to have to be a little creative I'm afraid.
