    nexus 6 price drop

    There is a difference to note on buying a Nexus 6 phone direct from Google vs any other retailer, even if it's unlocked. If you purchase direct through Google the phone warranty is intact if you root, and support is provided directly from Google, not Motorola, for the Nexus 6. I verified this...

    Verizon Note 2: Foxfi with 4.4.2

    Can you point me to the location on my service agreement/contract that says I cannot use either a OS built-in tether function nor a tether app to access the data portion of my phone? As for the FCC ruling, what it is is if you have a plan where you pay for the data based on usage, like the new...

    Foxfi on 4.3

    I have Verizon Galaxy Note 2 with recent Android 4.3 update and unlimited data. Prior to the update I could use Tethering Widget, similar concept to FoxFi, but free and it worked FLAWLESSLY. However, after 4.3 update, it stopped working and got the Verizon message. I've always had pattern...

    why is there no PhotoSphere on 4.3 for Verizon Galaxy Note 2?

    This link takes you to a post from June 2013. How do we know the link to the APK is the latest APK? I downloaded it, but I have a feeling there's a newer version of the Photosphere APK. How can I verify I have the latest version?

    Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE tablet

    Every day I search Google and Bing for news on Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE release date for Verizon. All I get is stupid rehashes of the same stories, like yesterday, how in Korea the Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE came out in Red for Valentines day. No where in any of my searches from February 1 through...

    No flash got you down? Try this fix

    Ok, I did get it to work, but this really sucks that as Android supporters we have to go through this crap. This is what I did: On my Nexus 7 I installed Firefox from Play Store. Grabbed the Adobe Flash Player_1.apk and Adobe Flash Player_2.apk from the links in this forum on my desktop PC...

    No flash got you down? Try this fix

    You know Im really disappointed at this and other forums. Please be precise on what you say. You accessed the Play Store from a Nexus 7 tablet and installed? Then you went to Adobe's site from your Nexus 7 within the Firefox browser? I can download Firefox fine. But within Chrome if I go to...

    [Closed] Nexus 7-a-day giveaway - Dec. 19

    My Droid X2 sports 3G slow, Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade is definitely a no-go, I really hated the implementation of Gingerbread, That Android OS version is really dead, Now I'm excited that Jelly Bean is here 'cause I got some cash to blow!

    Samsung galaxy s3 vs nexus 4 which one should i buy if i can get them for the same price

    One thing is for sure. Galaxy S3 can natively play MKV and AVI videos (in addition to many others), no conversion needed. Nexus 4 cannot, as well as my Nexus 7. Pure Jelly Bean is nice, but Samsung has a more user friendly interface. Even the weather widget on the S3 is sweet, allowing me to...

    get Video Player from Galaxy S3 into Nexus 7 ...

    Ok, had the Nexus 7 for a week now. It's my first tablet. I love a lot of things about it, but have a few things that get under my skin, especially since Google created Android. Like no support for Adobe Flash, the video camera app is set to 480p (but heard you can turn on the ability for...
