    Help Problem #2038217, charger keeps breaking

    This tablet has been giving me nothing but grief. It lags like shit, crashes every 5 seconds, reboots at least twice a day, has a battery life of slightly less than four hours, and on top of that is built like a kid's cardboard art project. For the money, I REALLY wish I'd just bought an iPad -...

    Help Oleophobic coating worn off?

    Some reason I have a real serious problem with rainbow smudges in recent times, even when my hands aren't that oily. Was fine when I first had it. Is it possible that the magic coating has gone?

    Splashtop over WiFi

    Does Splashtop connect directly to computers running the streamer when it's connecting over WiFi, or does it still go through other servers? The video lags a lot more on the tablet than it seems to on the computer - there shouldn't be such a disparity over a 100Mbps WiFi, especially when the...

    10 inches of OCD glory...

    Does anyone else find themselves struggling to keep the screen free of tiny bits of dirt/dust/whatever? This was a problem for me using my Nexus at maximum brightness, and now I've got four times the fun.

    Help Can I charge it with a Sammy charger?

    The tab arrived today - and despite the odds, there was no cracked screen, the metal wasn't peeling off and it wasn't on fire. Anyway, I had it shipped from the US and so it came with one of those US chargers that doesn't actually work. So I was wondering if it's safe to charge the tab with the...

    Screen saver app?

    Is there an app that will allow me to play a live wallpaper full screen, without the notification bar or the nav bar at the bottom? I often leave my phone on the alarm clock screen saver so that WiFi speed doesn't go to sleep when I need it for significant cloud syncing or app updates.

    Google Shopper in the wrong country

    For some reason Shopper delivers all results in USD and from American shops even though I'm in Birmingham and it knows it. Anyone else had this issue?

    Will using a 2A charger damage my phone?

    I have an external battery from PowerGen that has two ports. One outputs just 0.6A, which charges very slowly, and the other does 2A, which can do 0-100 in under 90 minutes. Will that last one damage my phone? I've heard that the other amp simply won't be pulled, but then I've also seen...

    Android Beam/PC compatibility?

    Has anyone ever heard of any software that allows you to tap your phone onto a USB NFC reader and, say, beam web pages onto your computer? It'd be neat as hell if you could.

    Call-only mode?

    Sometimes I lend my phone to people who need to make a quick call, but I don't want them to have access to anything but the dialer. Any ideas?

    How could I get this shipped from the U.S.?

    I live in the UK, and want to get this tablet shipped from the US, so I was wondering how I could go about doing that? Seriously, it's ridiculous that it costs twice the price over here as it does there and releases more than a month later. There should be some sort of law on overpricing. $500...

    Google Drive Folder Syncing

    How would I go about syncing a folder between Google Drive and my Galaxy Nexus automatically? I want to sync my music collection between all my devices, and being British, I don't have access to Music. If I can do this, I'll actually buy a subscription to be able to store all 6.2GB of eargasmic...

    Play Movies Movie still consuming space

    I rented a film on Google Play and downloaded it to my phone because I was going on holiday. Once I finished and deleted it, no space had been freed. It is not saying that Movies is taking the space, but I know that it is because before I downloaded it I had like 4GB of space and since then I...

    Help Google Now's fussiness with flight numbers

    I have a flight that only has a 3-digit number, but from a bit of testing it seems Now only works when there are four digits (and leading zeroes don't count). Is there any way I could get it to work with my 3-digit flight number?

    How does autofocus on a smartphone work?

    I get how it works in a normal camera, but what about on a phone? My phone's camera clicks audibly when it's focusing, so it must be mechanical, but how do they move the lens in such a small space? I recorded the sound of the phone focusing on my laptop and amplified it, and it sounds sort of...

    Root Likelihood of a JB ROM?

    What's the likelihood of a fully functioning Android 4.1 ROM coming out for this phone? I'm mostly just curious to see how well this phone would handle it, since a Nexus S running JB seems almost as smooth as my Galaxy Nexus. Though I do know that it only has a 600MHz processor, so perhaps it...

    Help Voice Search in JB not working fully?

    Every time I try to navigate or something with voice search, it just does a web search. Is this feature disabled because of the injunction or am I just having bad luck with the software? I'm thinking it's the latter because I can still get a card if I look up nearby restaurants...

    Help Google Now cards?

    Just wondering how exactly the Google Now cards work? It doesn't seem to show directions/route before appointments as it does on the website, and I'm wondering why that is. How does it know where 'home' is, and where 'work' is, and when you're going to be travelling between the two? Also, how...

    Non-in-ear earphones?

    Mine got waterdamaged and it's now as if they're 'out of tune', where can I buy some earphones that aren't in ear (they don't fit me. I've tried a number of them with different attachments and they fall out in seconds; I have no intention of ramming anything up my ear either, what a stupid...

    Help Nexus thinks AC is USB

    Even though it's plugged into the AC charger, my Nexus running AOKP M5 on the Franco kernel keeps reverting into USB charging mode. It will recognise AC for a few minutes, but go straight back into USB after. I don't have fast charge enabled (or rather, I didn't, but now it seems I have to...

    Is a black image akin to the screen being off?

    I know that the phone itself will still be on and still be processing graphics data etc, but if I display a black image is that the same as being off as far as the sAMOLED display is concerned? I download large torrents with it since the phone kinda replaces a proper computer, but I'm paranoid...

    Help clear permanent notification?

    On my Galaxy Nexus, I accidentally started a download for an image on Google Images through Chrome Beta. Now, there is a download notification that can't be removed and won't go away on its own - even after a reboot. How can I get rid of it? (I'm assuming that, on a phone this expensive, there...

    Help Won't switch on

    My Galaxy Nexus just arrived, and I've plugged it in. I tried to switch it on, and it showed a battery symbol and I haven't heard from it since. The screen is blank, and there is zero response to holding the power button. I removed a tiny transparent plastic tab that looked like part of the...
