    Anyone use Falcon (for Twitter)? Question...

    If you have multiple Twitter accounts, is there any way to access all of them via the Falcon app? Maybe I'm just missing it, but I can't even seem to figure out how to "log out" via Falcon from the account I originally logged in with.

    Google apps & syncing?

    I'm trying to figure out the culprit of some battery drain I've been noticing on my Galaxy Nexus for the last 2-3 weeks, and one of the things I had done in that period of time was enable syncing for a number of Google apps (via Settings, under Accounts). I've heard allowing apps to sync on...

    Push notifications

    I'm just curious about them, in general. From what I gather, instead of your device checking periodically for new information, push notifications are when apps/ services push the information to your device, correct? Seems like push notifications would be a lot more beneficial to battery life...

    Crescent Moon Games

    Anyone know if their games are going to stay Amazon exclusive? I'm interested in Aralon and Paper Monsters, but I'd rather have them via the Play Store, but I know some games are permanent Amazon exclusives.

    [Verizon] Is there a way to fix this?

    I'm currently running Jelly Belly, though I don't think that has any effect on what I'm posting about, because this issue was occurring even before I rooted and ROM'd up my phone a while back. Basically, the problem (well, more like personal annoyance, I guess) is that when I get a call while my...

    Primary line & employee discount

    I'm part of a family plan, but I'm not the primary line. Me and the primary line holder can both get employee discounts (not Verizon employees, but discounts via our respective places of work), and my discount would be a lot bigger than the one we're getting from the primary line holder. Problem...

    Are current plans going away?

    I'm curious, is this just a new type of plan Verizon is now offering, or is this replacing their other plans? Currently, I'm on a family plan (mine is the only smartphone), and I'm paying the $30 for unlimited data (we don't have, nor do we need, unlimited minutes and texts). Our contract isn't...

    [Verizon] Titanium Backup?

    I'm planning to unlock and root, and try out some ROMs. Since I've had the phone for a while, though, I wanted to back up all my save data from games, and whatnot, so I used the root method that doesn't require unlocking, and I used Titanium Backup to back up all the apps I wanted it to. I...

    Anyone know of an icon set like this?

    Basically, I'm looking for icons that are... well... transparent, I guess? Preferably something with a "glass" type look. The closest I can find are icon sets with a glassy transparent border, but I don't want something with a border. I want the icons, themselves, to have this look.

    "Push" notifications?

    I'm trying out FriendCaster, since I can't get the regular Facebook app to work on my Galaxy Nexus, and I'm just curious, for notifications, if I select "Realtime push", is that the same as push notifications? I don't really understand it, but I've heard that push notifications don't drain your...

    Amazon App store no longer updating apps?

    I have a Galaxy Nexus (not rooted), and just recently, I've ran into an issue with updating apps through Amazon's App Store. It's strange, because up to now, I never had this issue with their app store. Anyway, whenever I try to update any of my apps that need updates, the installs fail. The...

    Google Music won't let me upload...

    I use iTunes to manage all my music, and for my phone, I use Google Music. I uploaded about 700 songs to begin with, and when I would get new songs that I wanted to upload, I'd simply make a "New Music" playlist in iTunes, and have the Music Manager upload that playlist to Google Music. Now...

    Help Certain games not working... Problem with the phone?

    I've noticed a number of games I've been trying to run have an odd issue; they just continuously restart, usually right before or right as I get to the main menu, and I either have to hit the back button or the home button to exit out of that "loop". So far, the games I've noticed doing this...

    Is there a live wallpaper like this?

    The closest thing I can use to an example is the following YouTube video, from about 8 seconds to the 13 second mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4DNYgffzfM#t=8s Basically, a "traveling through a crazy vortex/ tunnel" kind of live wallpaper. Doesn't have to be exactly like the one in the...

    Any good pouches/ slip cases for Galaxy Nexus?

    I'm the kind of person that dislikes cases, in general, because I like being able to actually see my phone, rather than covering it up with some kind of bulky case. But, I've just gone through a very painful ordeal with Verizon due to my Galaxy Nexus having a crack underneath the screen (which I...

    Help More about Verizon, than the Nexus, but...

    Okay, here's the problem. I ordered a Galaxy Nexus online on the 15th (I bought it for full retail price, since I'm already on a two year contract), got it on the 19th. Over the weekend, I noticed that I have a crack under my screen, across the top right corner. It's strange, because you can...

    Looking for a particular kind of icon set...

    Thus far, I've been unable to find this type of icon set, but maybe someone knows where I can find it (or at least something very close). Basically, I want icons that look like "glass". I've found icon sets that have a "glass" border, and the icon, itself, is usually a transparent white. But...

    Apps Help with ABD (not sure if this topic goes here?)

    Okay, so here's the situation. I have a rooted Thunderbolt, which I'm no longer using, as I have a (non-rooted) Galaxy Nexus. I don't current have any interest in rooting my Nexus. The problem is, on my Thunderbolt, I had tons of games with save files in progress, and I'd like to transfer the...

    Whoa... How does that work?

    So, I used to have a Thunderbolt, and now have a Nexus. One thing that has pleasantly surprised me on the Nexus is that it seems to download much faster over wifi than my Thunderbolt used to. On my Thunderbolt, it would take hours to download roughly 500MB. Whereas, on the Nexus, it downloads...

    Help Trouble connecting to computer?

    So, I want to connect my Nexus to my computer to put on some wallpapers, pictures, videos, etc. Thing is, whenever I connect it, and navigate to it in Windows Explorer, it seems to freeze up Windows Explorer. I managed to get my ringtones transferred over just fine, but every time I try to copy...

    Help Does this happen to anyone else?

    Twice, so far, I've been unable to turn my Kindle Fire on. This is while the battery still has a pretty good charge left, mind you. No matter how much I press the button (or press and hold it for a couple seconds), it never comes on. I usually have to wait 10-15 minutes, and then try again, and...

    Couple things I'm wondering about Google Music

    First question, when you "make music available offline", where on your phone does it download the music to? I couldn't seem to find any folder for it afterwards, but I may have just overlooked it. Secondly, I wanted to use Simple Last.fm Scrobbler to scrobble songs to my Last.fm. The app...

    Simple Last.fm Scrobbler and Google Music?

    I'm confused... In the app description, Simple Last.fm Scrobbler says that it works with Google Music, but I can't get it to, for some reason. Anyone know how to make it work?

    Root Not specific to rooting the Thunderbolt, but...

    I'm considering rooting my phone in a couple days, and I'm wondering, when rooted, is there anything that can be done to make earphones made for iPhones work with Android? I'm talking about the ones with volume +/- and center buttons. As I understand, they won't work on stock, because it's an...

    What the heck is wrong with Google Music's Music Manager...?

    This is more about the computer program (Music Manager) than the app or service, itself, but I wasn't sure where else to put this. Anyway, I've been using iTunes to manage my music for years, now, so what I did was set up a playlist with all the songs I wanted uploaded to Google Music, and have...
