It isn't. It's an issue with notification granularity. By default, Android 7.0 only gives you the option to silence the notification entirely. What others want, including myself, is the ability to stop a notification from "peeking" but still have it provide an alert via sound/vibration. This is...

Re: Now that it's announced, will you be buying? I'm leaning towards no right now. I'll definitely handle it a bit in stores once it's released but I can't really see myself using a phone that big. I've played around with the iPhone 6 Plus and that was massive enough. All in all, I'll...

Does anyone have an old iPhone 4/4S IMEI that they wouldn't mind sharing? I'm not sure how long I can wait for Solavei to add the Nexus 4 to their database. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Got my 8GB earlier today. Played around with it for about an hour after I got home from work. It's an absolutely fantastic device and completely puts my Captivate to shame. There's not a hint of slowdown or lag in use. This phone is everything I hoped it would be and more. Now I'm just...

I really thought I was going to get screwed on this one. Managed to grab my 8GB Nexus 4 though! For those who missed out, hang in there. I'm sure Google will get plenty of stock soon. For those who managed to grab one, congrats!

Just sitting here watching MNF, staring in disbelief as KC managed to force OT.

eBay or Craiglist is pretty standard fare. If you don't want to mess around with having to decide shipping options or meeting people locally, Glyde is also a great way to sell old devices. You simply list your device at a price of your choosing and, once it sells, Glyde will send you a mailer...

You can request a rewards program conversion. It might not do you much good now, depending on when your statement date is, but you'd have the cash back program going forward. I used to have Miles as well and, trust me when I tell you, cash back is 100x better.

Yup, I'll be using my Discover card. All online purchases, up to $1500, are eligible for 5% cash back during Discover's 4th quarter promotion. I can't see why Google Play wouldn't be considered an online purchase. For me, it should be about $16-17 back on my card, enough to cover the cost of...

To more directly answer the question: an 8GB device has 7.45GB of useable/logical storage space (8,000,000,000 bytes as advertised / 1024^3 actual logical bytes). I would imagine JB to take up anywhere from 1-1.5GB of storage space, leaving you with anywhere from 5.95GB to 6.45GB of actual...

I'm for Sony or HTC getting a shot. Samsung has had more than enough chances to get things right; it's time for some new blood and design sensibilities.

Um, yes please. I'd kill for a Nexus 7.

If someone other than Samsung gets the design, yes. We all saw how the Galaxy Nexus debacle turned out. Samsung neutered the hardware because they were more interested in selling their own flagship phone, namely the Galaxy SII. I fully expect the same to be done again with respect to the Galaxy...

I anticipate going the pre-paid route when the successor to the GNex is released. I originally had my eye on 3 different MVNOs: Straight Talk, Red Pocket, and T-Mobile. I've ruled out Straight Talk because they seem far too draconian. Here's what I've found that stood out: TERMINATION OF...

It's not a zero sum game though. Unless you're telling me that you have absolutely no need for a phone in your life, it's not a realistic assumption to believe that someone would have to choose between a phone and a tablet. I also fail to see how you can't compare Google products to Apple...
