    Help Disgusting Wi-Fi Strength

    Well, the title says it all. Since I bought this phone (i9250), I've gotten dismal signal with it. HSPA+ is comparable to my iPhone 4S, but WiFi is so weak that I can't get a proper signal half 20 feet from my router (Apple Airport Extreme). Does anyone know how to fix this issue? It's...

    Help Absolutely Horrible Lag

    I've always been a stickler for smooth UX, which is why I didn't really like Android ICS when I first dabbled with my Galaxy Nexus. Then things got ironed out with some ICS updates. I was enjoying my GNex. Then, Jelly Bean came out. Everything was smoother, except for the multitasking...

    Nexus 4 Display Quality?

    I was considering picking up a Nexus 4 to replace my Galaxy Nexus and supplement my iPhone 4S. However, after checking out my friend's Nexus 4, I'm less certain - the display appeared awful. For some reason, the colors were washed out (not just against the Galaxy, but also against the...

    Help Get HSPA+: 21?

    I've been fiddling with my APN settings, and I got them to go up to HSPA+:15. However, shouldn't this phone be supporting HSPA+:21? Anyway, I'm on AT&T. Does anyone know how to get your phone up to HSPA+:21?

    Help Constant Browser Crash?

    Since the clean install of AOSP 4.2.1, I've been experiencing extremely frequent Android Browser crashes. It is nearly guaranteed to occur on Engadget, sometimes happens on Time, and randomly happens with other sites and forums. I also can't access Facebook, as the request results in a message...

    Help Android 4.2 Multitasking UI Lag

    When Android 4.2 came out, I complete wiped my phone (used CWM) and flashed a completely stock setup - system, boot, and radio, etc. I've noticed that my battery life has taken a dump, but more troubling is the lag when closing apps in the multitasking bar. Swiping away apps shows a 2FPS...

    Verify SIM Unlock?

    How can I check if my Galaxy Nexus is SIM unlocked? I bought it in South Korea, but when I put my AT&T SIM into it, it recognizes the phone number and network type but says my Network is "unknown," my Service State is "Out of Service," and my Mobile Network State is "Disconnected." My AT&T...

    Help Device Regional Identifier?

    I bought my Galaxy Nexus in South Korea while here for three months. When I try downloading certain apps, especially those that deal with restricted services (Spotify, Hulu, Netflix, etc.) I can't. On Google Play on my Mac, it says that my device is incompatible, but it lists it as a "SK...

    Help Jelly Bean Browser?

    Google announced that Jelly Bean would ship with Google Chrome as the default browser. However, I just got 4.1 on my Nexus, and it's still Browser, not Google Chrome. Would Google have rebranded it to look like Browser? Or did they just omit Chrome from the version they gave to Google I/O...

    Help Bluetooth PAN Disconnecting?

    On Mac OS X, I can't seem to keep a Bluetooth PAN connection going for more than a few minutes. After a few minutes, network traffic drops to 0KB/s and eventually the actual Bluetooth connection disconnects. At this stage, the Bluetooth tethering icon disappears on the phone, even though...

    Help Galaxy Nexus Assorted Problems

    I have some problems with my Galaxy Nexus, all of which seem related. First, my phone gets really hot, particularly by the front camera. What's weird is that the phone is either just texting or idle in my pocket. I think its location services - I've sometimes found three maps processes...

    Help Regional Galaxy Nexus?

    I just got a Galaxy Nexus (HSPA+) in South Korea. Unfortunately, there are some problems that appear to be regional in nature. Attached are some pictures that demonstrate what is happening - I cannot download such apps as Netflix, Hulu, or Spotify. I think the problems are traceable to...

    Change Google Chrome Search Provider?

    I got a Galaxy Nexus on SKT, in South Korea, and I love it. It's a refresh from my iPhone , but I have a noob question. On Google Chrome, how can you change the search provider? It's set to Google Korea, but normal Google English is my preferred engine. Thanks!

    Clean Install ICS?

    I'm going to South Korea for a few months, and my iPhone is locked to AT&T. I was looking to get the Galaxy S III when it comes out. This will be my first Android device, but I have a moderate amount of experience with them. I was wondering if I could clean install ICS and get rid of all...
