Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

I'm home alone. Getting over a nasty bug of some kind and didn't want to spread it to friends. Kids are with their mom.

15 more minutes. Considering a 7 round salute to J.M. Browning at the stroke...


We would have invited you, bug and all (cause alcohol kills germs). You just live a little far.

We just decided my brother and his wife are hosting Superbowl Sunday too.

Happy New Year for those of you east of the Pacific time zone. Those of you in the Pacific time zone only have a few more minutes.

Somehow while flashing some roms while I was in Japan I ended up with some Japanese keyboards on my Nexus. I have no idea how they got there. I guess I should have practiced "safe romming." :eek:

Any ideas of how to get rid of them?

Does long pressing on them do anything? Or if you hit the Settings button next to each one, is there an option to delete it?

Happy New Year Gnexers! Yayyy 2012! :D

CES is coming up soon, quads are gonna start showing up, and - oh yeah - our kids might move out this year! :D :D :D

Chris just finished up a recording session with his band in Nashville and Athena will wrap up her home school courses in a couple of months! And then... who knows? Travel? More volunteer work? Lots of extra snugglebunnies? ;)

NEXUS NOTE:

If you haven't been following the Nexus forum closely, there's a great trick that Droidfan1 posted for extending battery life. Don't ask me how it works... it just seems to work for me:

Just turn on Wi-fi. Even if you don't have a wi-fi network to connect to.

My extended battery was dropping power like nothing I'd ever seen until I did this. Seems to have extended my battery life by a factor of 2 or 3! :eek:

Try it and let everyone know YOUR results - and if it works, pop in the forum and drop him/her a thanks :)

i had thought I noticed better battery when i had wifi on, but i just shrugged it aside as a random occurance, never thought it was actually better.

Okay, so I pulled the trigger on an HP quad core laptop. I read the reviews for it from PC Mag and others, and it seems really solid graphics-wise.

I'm excited to finally have something other than a dinosaur. Plus, it's work-related so I can either write it off for this year still (just ordered it!), or I can have my work reimburse me.

Can someone tell me how "turbo core" works on a laptop? When does the turbo in GHz happen?


I just got one too. I upgraded the screen to 1920 x 1080p. The one bottleneck in this system is the 5400 rpm hd, so I'm upgrading it to a 120 gb solid state drive. The thing's gonna fly.
