    Help Google Now Question

    How much data does it consume? i see that it might be useful to have enabled when out and about, however if it uses a ton of data, it's a no-go for me. i can always plug the phone into the car charger if it uses too much battery because of how fast it charges, but data, that's another story...

    Insurance?

    Okay, i bought a Nexus 5. My old phone is still subsidized and has water damage. It had mobile insurance. Two questions, is it covered, and is the Nexus 5 covered for anything? I'm contemplating just getting rid of the insurance but won't if anything's covered. Thanks.

    Launcher question

    I have apex launcher. No matter what theme I choose, if I download apps after I downloaded the launcher, I get the original icon rather than the themed one. Is there a way to get the themes icons for recently downloaded apps without uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher? Thanks!

    Once I purchase an app...

    ... is it mine for life? or would I have to purchase it separately on each device I use, assuming I use the same Google account for all devices? Sorry, I know it's a newbie question, but I couldn't find a definitive answer. I want to purchase an app and be able to use it on future...
