    Notification light not working

    Mine never worked. I went into a Verizon store and hung around with the folks there for about a half hour while they scratched their heads. Finally a gal came out from the back room who had a RAZR Max and she said she downloaded a widget that took care of the problem... sure thing, we found it...

    New Google Maps 7.01 doesn't work.

    It doesn't work at all for me. For some reason the GPS and the new Maps app are out of whack and the location icon always shows me driving out in a field somewhere quite a distance from the road. Also no turn by turn directions. Terrible! I have used the old Navigation app for years and loved...

    Things I miss about Gingerbread

    Recently I had to switch phones from a Samsung Galaxy Nexus to the Razr Maxx because of problems caused by an ICS update that Verizon and Motorola couldn't fix. I was so happy to get the Razr because I thought the Gingerbread interface was lots easier to use. I'm cringing now that my phone is...

    Google Maps/Navigation no longer speaking street names

    This is illegal in some states... including the two I drive in all the time. I called Verizon technical support to find out if there was any way to be upgraded to 4.0.4 outside of the normal schedule but of course the answer is no. Was told would probably be rolled out within the next month. :'(

    WIFI HotSpot w/out a plan CONFIRMED TO WORK! No root needed.

    I am sympathetic... most of the people here are pretty advanced! You use a hotspot to create a wifi signal with your phone that you can pick up with other devices. I use it for work while traveling to get Internet on my laptop. I was lucky enough to get in on the old offer of $30/month unlimited...

    Feeling played on the 4.04 update.

    Apparently the update will solve the problem lots of people are having with the Navigation App suddenly not announcing street names. This is pretty big for me, I use it a lot.

    Google Maps/Navigation no longer speaking street names

    I noticed this topic on the forum a couple of days ago, and this morning it happened to me too! I know it was working correctly last week when I was on a long trip and I really relied on those turn by turn instructions. If anyone investigates this further, it would be good to hear what is going...

    Whew! Thanks! Looks like several of us fell for that bad tip -- I was too trusting!

    Galaxy Nexus Workarounds, Tips, and Tricks

    I also did this... should have read the entire thread before taking this bad advice! I disabled Google Search and can't download it because it's already downloaded... but it doesn't show up in my app drawer, app drawer in settings, or in my widgets. Do I have to do a factory reset to get it back?

    Help! Lost my Google Voice Search!

    I took the advice of someone who added to the thread of Ice Cream Sandwich tips that he disabled the built-in Google Search on his GN. The poster said he disabled it on his phone, then downloaded the app from Google Play so it wouldn't take up so much room at the top of the screen. What a good...
