    [INFO] If your GMS Nexus from Google is DOA

    Received my Galaxy Nexus directly from Google last week. Tried turning it on immediately, no dice. Figured maybe the battery was completely drained, so I plugged it in overnight. Next morning, same thing. Tried popping the battery, made sure the connections to the battery were...

    New Nexus HSPA+ D.O.A.?

    I had this same problem, and call their support line. The fix (which worked): Take a cloth (I used the shirt I was wearing), and wipe the connections on both the battery and the battery contacts on the phone. Don't need to scrub, just wipe. The guy from Google said the remains of their...

    losing network

    I can understand if they are having problems with their 4G network, but the phone needs to grab a 3G signal if 4G is unavailable (assuming you are in a 4G/3G coverage area, which I am). That's how it's supposed to work. Sick of Verizon's crappy radios. If I hadn't returned the Nexus months...

    losing network

    Same thing here... Same thing that happened when I had the Galaxy Nexus too. Guess I'll need to stop at the Vzw store on the way home today and have them try a new phone/SIM card....if this keeps happening, this phone is going back (just like the Nexus). Love the phone, but it has to work as...

    Sales Tax Question

    In this case, the Communistwealth of Massachusetts is getting the money. For the record, I live in NH (no sales tax, no income tax)

    Just cancelled my S3 Pre-order

    I had a similar situation as the poster, but different result. Card was declined due to bank error (I had deposited CASH, but the bank still put a hold on the funds until I called and complained) yesterday. Noticed the email this morning, called, they put it through and it got approved. Two...

    ThunderBolt to Galaxy S3, anyone?

    I've got my life jacket on, waiting to jump ship (waiting for Vzw to ship my SIII to me)

    Bolt to SGIII?

    I pre-ordered, as to not see my cost (for less data) go up $20 a month, but figure I've got 14 days to figure out if this radio sucks like the Gnex. Had the extended battery for the Tbolt not made it look like some abomination (aka, usable), I might be inclined to keep my Tbolt a little longer...

    Would you buy a T-bolt today?

    No. No way in hell. From a software perspective, the Thunderbolt is the best I've seen, but the absolute horrid battery consumption would be a huge no-go for me. With the extended battery (which makes the Thunderbolt look like a paper weight), moderate use, and only a few apps running in the...

    Same here...no problems.

    BAMF Sense 3.0 GB or Cyanogenmod 7 - Which do you use/prefer?

    Used CM7 on my original Droid and loved it to pieces. Upgraded to the TB, quickly rooted, and loaded Bamf (now 3.0 RC4). Did a clear/wipe every time I installed versions of Bamf, and have had ZERO problems. I like the eye candy of Bamf, with it's Sense, so will probably stick with it even...

    POLL: how many homescreens do you actually use?

    I use about 4, but 1 screen is just a calendar, and 1/2 of another one is weather, so I guess you could say I use 2.5 screens
