No I definitely can understand the overall data usage. I would use that much or more if I could but 14 GB of photos is a lot! Haha.

Do you store movies on g photos?

I've only recently became aware of this problem because I quit using Wallet but now I want to re flash the phone because i'm selling it to a friend and I don't want to break the secure element for him. I'm not understanding what is meant by the "browser method" for uninstalling. I'm rooted and...

So I never really found anyway to solve any of these issues with built in settings. The strength of android however is its customization and that is why the perception is that "standard" features are missing but the truth is the android OS leaves things like this completely up to apps. A quick...

I'm currently researching this but I haven't found anything yet. I know that certain apps have options to have "quiet times" when they won't push notifications so one option would be to get a third party SMS app that has this feature. I searched through the Gmail app but couldn't find any...

I've noticed this as well. When I'm in my car I plug my phone in while I'm streaming music and the phone barely stays even. It even discharges a little sometimes. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

That actually sounds like amazing battery life. Or was that your point? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but your Android OS battery usage being so high seems really odd to me. Are those standby stats or is that from steady usage? Personally I've never seen (on any android phone I've had) the screen use any less than twice the battery of any other...

Icons on the homescreen don't use the battery at all, except for when your screen is on when your looking at them. The stuff on your homescreen that drain the battery are the widgets that use data to update the information they display. Also live wallpapers can drain the battery as well by...

This might be entirely in my head but I remember thinking that the battery life was horrible when I first got my GN but it seems to have improved considerably. Almost as if the battery life improves after a few full charges and discharges. I will say that the standby time of all android...

I was curious though is it still true that you will shorten your battery life if you leave it plugged in more than it needs? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Being offended that you characterized the entire android community as unhelpful proves your point? Riiiiight..... Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

I'd prefer this over fully stopping the process. The facebook app for instance sometimes stays running and drains the battery so the ability to close the app easily but not prevent it from receiving updates would be nice.

I'd be interested in an answer to this because I'm trying to figure out how to get hulu running on my Xoom. I'm starting to get fed up with hulu claiming that there are "many variables" involved with bringing their app to new devices when they can have an app for the kindle and nook the day...
