I'm very careful with my phones and just need something to protect against a drop from waist height, or maybe a door...

    U.S. Nov. 27th orders, did you link your google account to your phone?

    When you order the nexus, Google gives the option to link up your google account. Maybe if you linked your account, it's taking more time to ship. This might shed some light on what the delay is. From what I'm reading in the forum I see that some people who were in the 2 - 3 week time bracket...

    Is anyone still getting the GPS issue that was somehow created out of the blue with the Jelly Bean update? I don't understand how Google/Verizon so easily created this glitch and they haven't fixed it yet. Basically anytime I want to use GPS, I either have to wait about 10 minutes for it to...

    Extremely Slow Internal Memory/SD Card

I recently revised all of the tags and filenames in my music library and am transferring all of my music back to my internal memory and sd card. Both of which I usually keep 90% full, with 90% of my data being...

    How to know what makes a better home theater system receiver and speakers

    Ok so I'm pretty tech savvy, and can find my way around various tech products. For example, I know: -Higher megapixels in a camera does not necessarily make it better than a different model camera -A 3ghz AMD processor isn't equal to a 3ghz Intel processor even if with the same number of...

    What's with so many negative reviewers with android apps.

    What I'm referring to are all of the people who give 1 star reviews on apps like adobe reader when there is an update that asks for permission to read gmail, or even apps that are updated without a changelog. Do people understand that when an app says it needs permission to read your gmail, that...

    Who else have stopped buying apps...

    ...at least until amazon stops giving the free app every day deal. As of now, all of the apps they have sponsored are top tier apps...angry birds, shazam and soundhound, fruit ninja, doodle jump. I'm afraid that if I buy something, it will be free the next day. How long is Amazon going to keep...

    Touch buttons on replacement aren't as yellow colored, much brighter

    title says it all. I was kind of bothered by the dim piss colored lights on my old one. They are almost as white and bright as the touch buttons that were on my old droid inc Still wish the time out on them could be longer.
