The specs appear to be the same, although I can't be sure. The XL charger is 18W, 3A. The point being, I have finally retired my original XL 128 in favor of a couple of 4a's. Believe it or not, my XL's original battery (ordered in Nov. 2016, delivered Feb. 2017) is still going strong, takes and...

Never mind I think I have some of it sorted. Thx

We have recently moved to Pixel XL 128G phones from my Galaxy Note 3 (Lollipop) and my wife's Galaxy S5 (Marshmallow) and am not excited about the photo handling. But, I have never paid any attention to Google Photos or whatever it is I need to be familiar with in order to use a Google phone. We...

I was totally surprised to see Lollipop on a Verizon S5. Last Saturday, I decided to finally retire my 3 year old Galaxy Nexus. I had been contemplating a change to the S5 for some time. Bought my wife one last Saturday and took over her Note 3, which she has never liked. After swapping sims and...

Galaxy Nexus w/ JB 4.2.2. I have on my primary home screen what is probably the original search app. It is a blue button with a white mic in it and is labeled Voice Search. It opens with the microphone active, ready to receive voice input. On a secondary screen is, from what I'm now reading in...

Thanks, I appreciate your reply. I am aware of where to look up that data, but when I list the firmware and kernel, I'm giving the all the data that is in About Device. I don't think this 'old' hardware (single-core, if I'm not mistaken) will support ICS. That's why I thought it was just a...

I was surprised to see a system update to my wife's Galaxy Tab 7" tablet (SCH-I800) last night. Bought it in Jan, 2012 for her birthday. Always regretted not waiting a few months for the GT 2 but that's when her birthday was. She only uses it on trips (can you say Bejeweled?) and email away from...

No kidding, thanks! I just got JB this morning, but I already hated the lack of punctuation. Had been through all the settings but didn't think to look there. The ICS method is fine for me, it was the punctuation bar popping up that I missed, 'cause I are a gud spelr! :-) Seriously, thankyew!

Nice surprise! Android 4.1 OTA this morning! Same here in the Houston area. Well, SW of Houston. I had managed to stop obsessing about the update and just decided to let it happen when it happened. It was a nice surprise when I turned my Nexus on this morning. I can't see a LOT of difference...

Haven't seen it in SE Texas. Yet.
