    Need to buy a new phone: Galaxy Nexus or Razr?

    I feel moto has one benefit and everything else is a negative. Superior radio programming is the plus. All of the negatives as they apply to the Razr, -Only $300 contract phone without a HD display (I read a lot of books, it makes a difference) -Most horrible workflow/feature set (takes more...

    Device feels sluggish?

    If you are having problems with transitions and animations try (Settings>Developer Options>Force GPU Rendering) and report back if you still have problems. The phone is running like butter for me. Much faster than the competition.

    Nexus Awake 100% of the time (Global Issue)

    I just purchased my demo line GNex. None of these issues. Use your store's replacement option if factory resets/update to 4.0.2 have not fixed the issue.

    Verizon LTE Down... AGAIN!

    Re: Domino effect??? Without a doubt this is a serious embarasment for reps of VZW. I had to apologize to far too many folks without any ETA, and expressed my personal bewilderment at the outage. The 4G outage domino effect was that the service switches went down the entire length of the...

    So here's the BIG question

    I hope you see that there are some of us who really take pride in what is trying to be accomplished, but honestly I've had people in high places telling me to only respect how ignorant I thought people can be instead of respecting them. It's people like this that cause a lot of profit, and also...

    So here's the BIG question

    Networks like this are not as fragile as they are complex. SIM registering and having two separate sim standards (std/micro) have had more unseen consiquences than I've been able to consider. At first I thought this would be great for customers, but it's proven to be only great if VZW gets...

    So here's the BIG question

    Thanks for clearing that up :) Yeah it'll probably turn into a smoke and mirrors sham, and when VZW drops more calls I'll get more irrate customers. Seriously I have faith in the company, but all of the cloak and dagger about their network just sucks especially when they are so far ahead of...

    So here's the BIG question

    The GN is actually the first phone that accurately shows signal strength of the current network. Something which is showing customers "too much" and VZW may "fix".

    Questoin about Upgrading @ the store....

    If a really ignorant rep tries to help him he could be stuck for hours with 0 results and then walk out with nothing. My method is tried and tested 100% successful. This also spells out the risks to phone warranty etc etc. The company will hold him to those rules if he chooses to get his...

    Music Distortion on GN?

    Turning off your screen is going to choke the phone's power consumption. Any audio device will use an OPAMP to drive sound to your headphones, speaker, etc. The OPAMP will get less juice because of the screen being off and as a result it will have less power. OPAMPs love juice and the more...

    Questoin about Upgrading @ the store....

    Hey I know how this process can work (employee). He will take the upgrade, ask to get the phone, and then activate it on his line. He will then have to switch the phone back to his previous phone. If he didn't have 4G before his 4G sim(recently purchased with the phone) will go bad. He must...

    So here's the BIG question

    I've said it in a few posts earlier, but the issue is on the back end of VZW and registering the device SIMs on the network. You can thank the expanding network and release of this phone for outages as well. It is a software related issue just like you mentioned. The OP needs to consider...

    My favorite part ICS

    Just how much more open the OS is than even earlier versions. Every app, the browser, home pages, and the camera are wide and spacious. My workspace is important for keeping thoughts straight.

    Poll: Scale of 1 - 10 Rate Your GN Experience so far

    Until the "Nexus" experience becomes more of a standard I don't think it will be ready for a 10. There are still some shortsighted design choices, but in all vanilla ICS is a noticable improvement over previous versions of Android. Stepping stones are rarely as rewarding to walk on as the road...
