    using Maps and a car charger

    I've noticed that when using Google Maps to navigate from one place to another and my phone plugged into a car charger, the battery will still drop. Does this mean my charger isn't supplying as much power as the Nexus 5 can take? Or that's just the nature of using GPS/Maps -- it's...

    Interesting.. I just got the OTA update, but it clearly said 4.4.2. It was about 50mbs -- installing as I type. I never got 4.4.1 -- hope that doesn't matter! Edit: added a screenshot post update. It is 4.4.2. K

    BBM -- does it matter?

    So.. now that BBM for Android... I'm asking myself, does it matter? Once upon a time I had a Blackberry and recall liking BBM, but that was when I didn't have unlimited texting. Other than seeing when a message is seen.. is BBM really better than a text/SMS? Isn't it really the...

    The App: MP3 Music Download

    So.. a friend of mine uses this app and says she can just download pretty much any MP3 to her phone for free. This seems... 'too good to be true' -- what's the catch? I see the App in the Play store so have to take it as more or less legit, but just don't see how it can work given all the...
