Everyone is working with a dumbphone line because that is the key to facilitating the loophole. The dumbphone line is used as a conduit to temporarily activate a new smartphone. Once active the dumbphone is reactivated leaving the new smartphone without a line. From there the new smartphone can...

Rooting is not always an option. For example I have rooted my N7 thus proving I am not afraid to root, but I cannot root my Maxx because getting work email is an absolute must, and my employer will only make work email available using Good For Enterprise. My Good Admin has root detection tools...

I have spent way too much money on headphones. I have a set of S4a's that sound good, but the in ear penetration is a little uncomfortable. I have Bose Q15's that I absolutely love when I travel on business but they are too big to be a regular set of headphones. I run approximately 40 miles a...

I made the move from the Verizon Galaxy Nexus to the Maxx a few weeks ago so I had previously been using JB. When the Nexus made the upgrade from ICS to JB I did indeed lose Fox-fi. I also had WiFi Hotspot And USB Tether by SVTP installed and that app continued working. When I moved to the Maxx...

I just finished a 200 mile Ragnar relay race. It was so nice to have the battery life of this phone during the 2 day relay. All the iPhone owners on my relay team were plugging in constantly so they could use their phones. This Maxx beat every other phone on the team. Sent from my DROID RAZR...

Great comments that are good to hear. I am a fed up Galaxy Nexus user that recently purchased a refurbished Maxx on Ebay. My shipping information says the Maxx should be delivered tomorrow. I can't wait to begin playing with my new toy. I looked at the Maxx HD, but used prices are still too...

That may not be an option if the phone is being used in a corporate environment. For example, I am required to use Good For Enterprise for my work email. Good has root detection tools that my IT administrator can use to boot me off the network if I am rooted. Since I have to receive my work...

I agree. I don't see how Apple can roll out a new version of iOS on the same date to all carriers, but an Android update has to be delayed for special Verizon network testing. When iOS 6 rolled out on whatever date it was last fall it was available to everyone on all carriers. This is easy to...

I can't provide a list of banks that do this, but most of the big banks offer mobile deposit using the camera on your phone. My bank is USAA and I have been making deposits with my mobile phone for a few years now. And yes, it is pretty cool. From your phone I would use something like Astro to...

My understanding of the X phone is that it is intended to be a consumer device where as the Nexus line has been developer devices. With that in mind I would expect the X to offer a terrific user experience, but it may not be on the bleeding edge like a Nexus. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Another option that I could see becoming available is Verizon getting pure Google non-Nexus device. I am thinking something similar to the original Droid. This would allow users to still have a pure Google experience, but tempers the expectations of quick updates that come with Nexus devices...

For Christmas I am finally making a much needed upgrade to the stereo deck in my car. Gone are the days of using my GNex to listen to music through a cassette adapter. My new deck will have a 3.5mm aux in and a high powered USB charging connector. The location of the charging connector is very...

This is not a $500 tablet or a device requiring you to sign a 2 year contract. For that reason I elected to forgo any protection plans. If I do something to break my device I will lick my wounds and spend another $200 on whatever happens to be the latest 7 inch Nexus available. Sent from my...

I recall that blackberry makes a nice bluetooth device. It works fine with Android products. Android Central did a review of the device and they really liked it. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I was one of the lucky ones and received the update very early on Friday morning, buy my wife also has a GNex and her phone has not received the update. This has been said before, but this proves that geographic location has nothing to do with Verizon's OTA rollout process. Sent from my...
