    Anyone try Paypal NFC?

    Three vending machines right in front of my office at my job had Paypass reader. It even showed the message 'Please swipe or tap your card." However, nothing happened when I tried to buy some snacks and drinks with my GN. Probably, the vending machines are not hooked up for Google Wallet...

    Sad battery life

    As a matter of fact, your battery life is not too bad (as others mentioned). Of course, it is not too good, either. The cause of it is, I believe, your WiFi. When your screen is off, your WiFi also should remain off. However, your phone keeps WiFi always on which eventually drains your battery...

    Can't get the battery cover back on!

    Consider this back cover of GN as a type of zipper. Just align the very bottom, then continue squeezing both side from the bottom to the top. It is extremely important you start from the very bottom to the top all the time. Once you get used to it, it just take 2 sec to remove, 5 sec to put it...

    Who's GN is Naked besides mine??

    Started with fully naked. Dropped it on a taxiway of an airport while doing the preflight at night (with the torch app). Scratched almost all four corners of my GN. :mad: Now, I am using Otterbox defender (to cover the scratches from being seen). Probably will replace the unit via insurance soon.

    How many GN users are rooting?

    Bought it on 12/15. Rooted on 12/20. Was thinking about using it stock for a while. However, I faced a need for WiFi tethering on 12/20. So I defected to the dark side of android that date. Now, I am using the unofficial CM9 with 4.0.3 baseband. Couldn't be happier!!!

    Does pentile make the screen not truly HD?

    Upps. My examplification of 30fps was not accurate. :D

    Maybe I needed a pet to feed, out of boredom? :D

    Does pentile make the screen not truly HD?

    Um, I have to disagree with your point about purchasing goods, at least for electronics. Purchasing a product with the greatest paper specification is very costly. Virtually all electronic merchandises tend to drop its price extremely fast for the first one or two years after its introduction...

    Does pentile make the screen not truly HD?

    I didn't even bother to take a look at this thread until now. It looks funny. A decade old pentile debate on a phone with higher than 300ppi? Human eyes are limited to certain abilities, like 30fps, 300ppi, etc. Once technologic advancement of display panels reaches certain level, it does not...

    Problems transferring files to/from gnex

    I know. As far as I remember, this MTP or PTP transfer is going to be a lot slower by nature than USB Mass Storage transfer. While I understand why Google removed SD card and used this MTP for more available app installation capacity, it will become another bottleneck for Google in the future...

    Problems transferring files to/from gnex

    Just out of curiosity, have you tried dragging and dropping the files to a folder WITHOUT OPENING THE TARGET FOLDER? A few other members mentioned that they were successful in transfering files to GN with that method. If you are not familiar with this method, let me rephrase it. You select the...

    Do you really experience signal issue with your GN?

    Glad to hear that. You mean EK04 radio? I have been using that radio baseband for a week so far. I have seen one signal drop since I flashed the new radio, and that was it. Since I didn't really experience the signal drop issue even before flashing the new radio, I couldn't see whether it was...

    Do you really experience signal issue with your GN?

    Good input. Thanks! As I keep using my 3 GNs in my family, I am more and more getting convinced that the issue is hand-off / authentication problem in the GNs' baseband.

    Don't wait on backorder of Amazon/Letstalk!!!

    For those who are about to order to Amazon, it appears that Amazon got GN back in stock. Amazon website shows the pricing on the website if you put your number. With that, you can do the price matching at the bestbuy.

    Do you really experience signal issue with your GN?

    Really? Interesting. I would recommend you to try a couple of times. It seems to settle down to the certain number eventually. The app basically seems to do what you just do manually with the airplane mode, but more batched process with some clean up of cache.

    Do you really experience signal issue with your GN?

    In another thread, someone posted about an app called 'Fresh Network'. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.freshnetwork Out of curiosity, I tried installing it onto my GN. Before running it, my LTE signal was -103dBm. After running it, it became -83dBm???? Well, it got back to somewhere...

    Getting owned on airplane mode.

    You might want to see your battery history "Settings>Battery>Click Graph." Check at the bottom part "Awake." See if your GN has been completely in sleep during that 4 hours. If it was completely asleep, then I would suspect the battery display may not be accurate. You may need to delete battery...

    Do you really experience signal issue with your GN?

    I'd like to suggest one good strategy to send a message to VZW. When your GN drop the signal connection totally and won't restore (when you see completely zero bar), try calling VZW CSR from another phone. Explain the situation and ask him/her to call your GN. He/she will end up getting to your...
