    [App help] New Maps app?

    Anyone install the new Google Maps app? I side-loaded the 4.1 APK for my AT&T HTC One and it's working fine for the most part. There's a lot of lost functionality from the older Maps app, but the interface is nicer and it is smooth as butter Unfortunately, I can't get addresses to open up...

    Trading phone numbers or transferring data plan???

    I'm on Verizon with 5 lines. Two of my lines have grandfathered unlimited data plans. The other 3 lines are just dumbphone lines with no data. My son wants to get a smartphone on his line (he currently just has a dumbphone). I no longer need unlimited data on my line, so I'd like to give...

    Help Transfer SMS messages from iP5 to GS4?

    I just got my Verizon GS4, coming from an iPhone 5, both on Verizon. I want to transfer all of my SMS messages from the iPhone to the GS4. I believe there's a way to do it by hooking the iPhone up the PC, extracting the right file, and then importing this to the GS4. However, I thought...

    Google Now Discussion

    Hopefully, this is the appropriate forum to post a discussion on Google Now, Android's Jellybean application that uses your search history to provide personalized cards on your Android phone. I have personally been using Google Now on both my Galaxy Nexus and now the VZW Galaxy S3 running...

    Battery Life Report (VZW)

    As a VZW customer who switched from a Galaxy Nexus to the Galaxy S3 nearly 9 days ago, I wanted to give a specific report on battery life. One of my primary complaints about the GNex is battery life, despite using the extended battery from day one. For those that are interested, here are my...

    Having second thoughts (preorder)

    I currently have a VZW Galaxy Nexus. Love the phone's design, screen, and stock ICS... but have really been disappointed by the radio/antenna and the camera. The radio is such that I am rarely on 4G, and even when I am, I'm barely getting anything better than 5-7 mbps down. Not to mention the...

    Quick Galaxy S3 preorder question

    I currently have a Galaxy Nexus and I'm transferring the upgrade from another line to my line so I can upgrade to the S3 at the subsidized price. I'm currently in the checkout process at verizonwireless.com and it is letting me keep my unlimited data plan (so that's good). However, a popup...

    I have a CDMA Galaxy Nexus running AOKP Build 31 (Android 4.0.4). I have a 4x2 Beautiful Widgets Superclock widget running on my home screen and it keeps freezing periodically. I can't seem to identify a pattern. Sometimes I'll turn my screen on and the clock will be fine. Other times I...

    No rumblings of an update yet?

    According to this leaked document from a while back, the first VZW Nexus update was supposedly coming out in "middle to late January". With only a couple of days left of January and not even a rumor of an impending update, should we now expect it to be sometime in February instead? Verizon...

    Help Why is WIFI throttled with the screen off?

    I'm not referring to wifi disconnecting when the phone sleeps - that's entirely different. I mean, my wifi speed drops to near dial up speed immediately when I turn the screen off. When I turn the screen back on, it kicks back up to broadband. For example, I installed modern combat 3...

    [Verizon] Before rooting, I need to confirm a few things...

    My only experience with rooting was with a Droid X over a year ago, and it was basically a 1-click method. After reading the root guide above, things seem a bit different on the Gnex, so I've come to confirm a few things before I get started. First of all, I have already unlocked the...

    Help Swype mod question

    I noticed that Swype is now working on the Gnex thanks to a member of xda. I was wondering (before I install it) if Swype will use the ics improvements to the spell checker and voice dictation, or does it use it's own?

    Help Help understanding Storage on the Bionic

    I searched the forums and Google but still haven't pieced together exactly how storage works on the Bionic. If I understand correctly, the SDCARD directory is actually stored in the internal memory of the Bionic, not on the sd card, right? So in this way, any application that normally installs...

    Help Battery Life - Unexplained Drain

    BACKGROUND I bought my Bionic on launch day along with the extended battery. I've greatly enjoyed the phone, but my battery life is mostly horrible. Specifically, there are many instances of unexplained battery drain even when my phone is idle in my pocket. I don't expect miracles when the...

    Help Google Navigation + Bluetooth streaming

    Today, I used Google Maps Navigation in the car while listening to music via Bluetooth in the Mog app. On my previous phones, whenever Navigation would speak directions, it would pause (or at least reduce the volume) the streaming music and then resume when it was done speaking. On my Bionic...

    Help Google Voice error

    I installed Google Voice on my Bionic, but I keep getting an error when I try to set it up. I only want to use it for Voicemail, so when I go through the initial setup, I tell it not to use for outgoing calls. Then when it asks me to use it for Voicemail, it says Unknown Carrier and that my...

    Battery charging questions...

    I have the Bionic with the standard battery and an extended battery. What are my options for charging the batteries outside of the phone? I want to charge one while using the other. Specifically, is there a charger that will charge the extended battery when it is not in the phone? I saw that...

    Help Can't remove Facebook account?

    I cannot remove my Facebook account from the Accounts screen. When I click on the "Remove Account" button, it comes back and says my username or password is not correct. I have checked and double-checked and they are both correct. The username is actually uneditable but is showing up as the...

    Full retail price $699?

    We previously thought the full retail price was going to be $589, but it looks like that was just Best Buy's cost. Apparently, $699 is going to be the full retail price. Though definitely disappointing, this definitely seems more likely since the contract price is $299 (which is on the high...

    Question about transferring an upgrade

    My wife and I are currently under contract with Verizon until late 2012. We want to add a new line for our son, but we already have a phone to activate. So we won't need to sign a new contract for his line. So here's my question: I know Verizon allows you to transfer your upgrade to...

    Will you lose Unlimited Data with Hotspot Tethering?

    I just upgraded my line and have Unlimited Data, so I should be grandfathered in. However, I occasionally add the Hotspot Tethering feature to my line if I go out of town, etc. Will I still be be able to do this after the tiered rates go into effect? Or will Unlimited data and the tethering...

    A friend that I work with has an Epic, and I wanted to ask you guys for help. She uploads photos and videos to Facebook, but they are all sideways. She doesn't know how to get them to upload in the right orientation. I told her there's probably a built-in app or an app from the market that...
