    Emulation ...

    Okay, screw Tegra zone and PC streaming... let's talk about the REAL reason why many of us will be picking this up :) I know a lot of you don't see the value in a portable device with physical controls permanently attached, that can play almost every video game ever made from the late 70's to...

    Does your Nexus 4 slide off of flat surfaces?

    I recently upgraded to a Nexus 4 from a Gnex. I usually place my phone on top of the PC sitting beside my computer desk, and when I do this with my Nexus 4, it randomly falls off the PC. I guess that the slippery glass back of the phone makes the whole thing slide whenever it vibrates. As it...

    Help Is there a Nexus 10/Jellybean manual available?

    I've got a Nexus 10 in my possession that belongs to my dad; he's going to be picking it up soon when he comes into town, as an upgrade for his 1st gen iPad. He's a total Android noob, and so I'm looking for some sort of help/docs, other than the little quick start guide the tablet came with...

    Is the Miracast option available on the 4.2 Nexus 7 update?

    As I understand it, the Miracast option isn't good for much until devices start hitting the market, but was wondering if the option is available on the Nexus 7 with the 4.2 update, or is that just a Nexus 4/10 thing? Since the Nexus 7 doesn't have any video out capabilities, this would be nice...

    AT&T users in US... what kind of speeds are you getting?

    When I first got my unlocked GSM Gnex about a month ago, I could manage about 2mbps. But when I found out about APN settings and tweaked those, now I get 3.5 - 4mbps. And that is with full bars of HSPA+. Somehow, I was thinking HSPA+ was supposed to be faster than that? I don't know much about...

    So if vendors like Motorola are blaming carriers for the bloatware ...

    So if vendors like Motorola are blaming carriers for the bloatware on their phones, when are they going to start releasing tablets with stock Android and unlocked bootloaders?

    Root Any ICS roms that run relatively smoothly?

    My Galaxy Nexus is currently out of commission, so had to fall back on my Droid Incredible for awhile until I can get the Gnex fixed, and Gingerbread is killing me :) Anyone recommend an ICS rom that runs relatively smoothly? Somebody in another thread mentioned that AOKP lagged a lot, so not...

    Help Did I just get the wrong sized SIM from AT&T?

    Here is the SIM card that AT&T snail mailed me for my unlocked GSM Gnex: It seems too small, so wondering if it's the right size? If not, what do I have, vs what do I need? EDIT: I found a SIM card in an old AT&T phone, which seems to fit better: However, it still says 'No SIM card' when...

    Any place to buy this retail?

    After reading about the various problems people are having with the N7, looks like this device has more issues than Rolling Stone. Thus, I'd rather buy it locally in case I get a dud, so I can exchange it without having to deal with shipping it back. Anybody know where to get one? I know Office...

    Can I reactivate a rooted/unlocked Droid Incredible on Verizon?

    Well, my Verizon Gnex is broken (literally), and I still have my old Droid Incredible I was using before I replaced it with the Gnex, on the same Verizon account. I'm assuming I can just take the Incredible and reactivate it with my existing account, until I can find a better option.... But, it...

    Buying the unlocked Gnex in the US ...

    After being told for the 100th time that "You're breaking up.... I can't hear you..." my Verizon Gnex is being permanently retired, since it is utterly useless as a phone. I understand that the GSM Gnex doesn't have a horrible radio like the Verizon version does. That being the case, can I just...

    Help Person I'm talking to always tells me "you're breaking up"

    When I make/receive calls with my VZW Gnex, the other caller can't hear me because I keep breaking up. I've heard of mic cut-out issues, but this doesn't seem to be the same thing, since it doesn't cut out completely. I can usually hear the other person ok when this happens, esp if they are on a...

    Help Any issues with bluetooth 4.0 adapters?

    I just got this USB adapter for my PC, so that I could play audio from my Gnex thru my computer speakers (Windows 7 64-bit) from across the room: Amazon.com: Medialink USB Bluetooth Adapter - Version 4.0 (Newest Bluetooth Version Available) Class 2 Smart Ready Adapter w/ Low Energy Technology -...

    Help Touch screen not working?

    Just got my TF300 yesterday. Everything was going great until a few minutes ago... was downloading some apps from Google Play, when suddenly the tablet appeared to become unresponsive. I turned off and turned back on... it seemed to be operating normally, but the touch screen would not respond...
