    Six months and counting and no responses, huh? I'm in the same boat. Have you figured this out yet by chance?

    Verizon offers GNex online for $99

    My frustration level as a VZW GNex owner not interested in rooting is already pretty high to begin with, so this doesn't bug me as much as it might otherwise. I kinda feel like $99 is all it's worth at this point anyway, given the other options available today. How do you feel about this...

    How will you feel if VZW Galaxy S3 & HTC get Jelly Bean first?

    Re: How will you feel if VZW Galaxy S3 & HTC get Jelly Bean first Couldn't agree more. Based on all the responses here, I think it's fair to say that the Galaxy Nexus is many things to many people, and I think that's a good thing. What I can say for sure (and I don't imagine I'd get too much...

    How will you feel if VZW Galaxy S3 & HTC get Jelly Bean first?

    Because the WHOLE point of having a Nexus is that you shouldn't HAVE to root/flash to get the latest updates (IMHO). I have nothing against doing it, it just defeats the purpose if you ask me. You get a Nexus precisely so you don't have to jump through any hoops to stay current, I think. As for...

    4.0.4 OTA has Arrived!

    Got the update a few minutes ago. FINALLY. My original Galaxy Nexus died this weekend (put itselfout of its own misery) and they shipped me another one. It came Tuesday and I was beside myself with anger that it was also running 4.0.2. Yesterday, VZW sent me a survey in which I REAMED them on...

    Instant upload no longer syncing to Google+?

    Recently, maybe within the last month or so, my photos are no longer automatically uploading to google+. I have them set to automatically upload when connected to wifi. Used to work fine. The cache has been cleared on both the gallery and g+ apps and still no luck. I don't want to delete the...

    Why Does Facebook for Android Suck?

    Same problem here. Judging from the range of devices experiencing this issue, (I'm on a LTE Galaxy Nexus), must be something going on on their end. Strange behavior. I've always hated the Android app and hated it on iPhone too but it works fine on my iPad (even now). Guess now's as good a time...

    FACEBOOK in app notification problem.

    Same problem here on my VZW Galaxy Nexus. Doesn't work no matter how long I wait or how many times I tap. I'm bummed that this is happening but glad I'm not alone. I have also reset everything and reinstalled to no avail. The FB app has always been kinda shoddy. Was just as bad on my iPhone...

    more facebook app shenanigans.

    boy do I hate this app. The only mobile facebook app that doesn't make me want to break my device is the one for ipad. The one for iPhone sucked as much or more than the one for Android. ANYWAY recently tapping on notifications has stopped taking me to the post/pic/etc. I tried force stopping...

    Chrome for ICS

    Loving it so far but having a weird issue where I keep getting the Sync: Password required notification and every time I try to put in my password it says it's incorrect. And on top of that, when I go to the App's settings pane, it says I'm already logged in. I'm away from home and haven't...
