    Help Can't send MMS when WiFi is on

    Hi Folks, I've been having trouble with MMS on my Nexus 5 since updating to MM, and have been fussing with it for a couple weeks now trying to figure out what is up. Some time after upgrading to MM I noticed that I wasn't receiving text messages with pictures. I was also unable to send. When...

    Crazy good battery after Marshmallow

    I got the OTA a few days ago and did a factory reset. I let it restore, and was less than impressed with the battery the first couple of days. I know it takes a bit for the battery to calibrate, but holy heck the last couple of days have so much better than I've ever had before. Now, there...

    Anyone running M yet?

    I was wondering who was running M and what your experience has been. Battery has been really testing me since 5.1 and I'm thinking about loading M rather than waiting until the OTA comes. Thanks, Gary

    Just got 5.1.1

    I just got a notice about 5.1.1 on my N5. Hadn't seen much about it, so I tossed caution to the wind and installed it. Only had it about an hour now, so not much to report. Was curious if anyone else that got it has noticed anything yet. ~Gary

    New pricing not accepting discounts?

    Hi folks, Thought I'd check in and see if anyone else is seeing this. I currently have my wife on an iPhone 5c through Verizon. Have a little over a year to go before I can get her out, so I was pleased to see they were dropping prices $10 on all plans today. Currently I have this: More...

    Help What is this icon?

    Hi folks, Had this icon show up today in the notification area on my N5. Any idea what it is? I was using data just fine while it was on, so I don't think it's related to connectivity (note I have LTE in the screen cap I've included). I tried Googling it and didn't find anything helpful...

    Help Nexus OTA Updates

    I just received an OTA update for my Nexus 9 to v. LRX21R. I just sideloaded Q a couple days ago, so I was surprised to see the update notification. I accepted it and it went through the installation, but at the end I got the error message with the little dead Android guy laying on his...

    Can I get a SIM card at a local store

    Hi folks, I'm planning on porting my number from Straight Talk (AT&T) over to Cricket in the next few days. ST has performed fine, but the abysmal customer service just bugged me the few times I had to use it. Also, I intend to switch my wife over when she goes off contract with Verizon...

    Discount for auto-refill

    Does anyone know if there is still a discount for using the auto-renew feature? I had thought you got $2.50 or something like that off, but when I go into set it up it shows it's going to charge me $45 plus all the taxes. :( Crazy Game Time is out of cards, and I'm up on 1/3/14, so I need...

    Help Question about NFC tags

    Hi folks, I am making up my Xmas wishlist since I'm "so hard to buy for." I was just surfing around on Amazon and stumbled across some NFC tags and thought that would be a nice cheap one for someone to pick up. Anything special I need to know before I pick a set and put them on my wish...

    Google Now is tooting the Nexus 5's horn

    Just took a peek at my Google Now home screen to see what it had to show me this morning. Check out the news article it was showing. :-)

    Help No notification light...even with Light Flow

    Well, I'm starting to think I've got a dud here. I almost never notice the notification light on my phone. I think I've seen it twice in the 11 days I've had the phone. When I did see it I noticed it flashed unusually slow. I went ahead and installed Light Flow tonight to try and manage it...

    Questions on the Pay By The Day plan

    Hi folks, Just got my Nexus 5 and activated it on Straight Talk. I also ordered a free SIM from T-Mobile as I would like to give them a try. I recall several years ago a buddy of mine had them and coverage was pretty dismal where I live. So much so that he cancelled the service after about...

    Public service announcement - Speedtest uses your data

    I know this is probably obvious to a lot of people, but I thought I'd make a post to point it out as a warning. I just left Verizon and had an unlimited plan so I never paid much attention to what was using my data or how much I used. I've activated my N5 on Straight Talk and wanted to test...

    Data usages on Verizon's website makes no sense

    Hi folks, I'm hoping someone can help me understand what I'm seeing on Verizon's website for data usage. First, a pinch of background. My wife and I were Alltel customers that ended up on V when they purchased Alltel. We are still on our old Alltel plan for voice & text, but both have...
