    [Verizon] Crap - help needed with rooting

    OK, not new to root, so pretty familiar with CWM recovery, etc. Here's my problem. I should start by saying I am doing this on a Mac. I am pretty new to Mac (one month) so I am a little uncomfortable, but not terribly so. I unlocked the boot loader using the instructions shown above...

    Trying to love this phone...but not so far.

    So I am a launch day user of this phone. Well, I shouldn't say that. I am on my SECOND Nexus. I returned the first in hopes of improving battery life or signal. In any event, I've had the phones for a while now. This is my third Android PHone (OG Droid, Droid X). I haven't rooted this...

    So I've been experiencing the bad battery life, bad signal strength and crappy data connectivity and transmit speed as many others. I'm really disappointed in the performance of the phone so far. I've read just about every thread on here, done all the tips and tricks, and my phone still...

    So with all the signal issues, etc, I decided to try the old *228 trick to "update roaming". To my surprise, this does not work on the GNex!? Is this something to do with the 4G network? My first 4G phone, but the phone is the phone so... Thanks.

    Samsung Irony

    I've been seeing those Samsung commercials on TV lately, and the other day I was totally struck by the Irony. Here is a commercial making fun of the iSheep waiting on line for "37 hours" for the "latest and greatest" when the guy walks up with his SGII and says, essentially, my phone is...

    "Bionica" members, thoughts on DX replacement?

    So, trying to get a handle on your thoughts regarding your Bionic. I've read a fair amount of the threads here and gotten a feel for the phone, but of course, it's not the same as having and using one. My basics - heavy phone user (40-60 calls / day). Heavy email user. ON the road a lot...

    Battery Life - esp. vs. Droid?

    Searched and didn't find too much information on battery life. I guess that's normal with a new phone. :) In any event, I have a Droid for my personal phone. My work phone is currently a Blackberry and I'm considering asking the company to get my a Droid X to replace it. I have a...

    When hitting battery usage, would the LWP show up under display? I loaded in a new LWP from the market and checked battery usage and display was off the chart % wise compared to my normal use. And that was with some pretty decent phone activity. I disabled the LWP to check, but does...

    Root Do you need to "exclude" SetCPU from Task Manager?

    Do you need to put SetCPU on the exclude list? I suppose you would in order to run profiles. Otherwise what would happen, it would stay at whatever speed it was running if it was killed? Or would it default? Thanks!
