    Android tablet as carpputer. Can it do what I want it to?

    You might want to read through this thread for some ideas: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet/199787-has-anyone-installed-nexus-7-car-dash-best-mounting-options.html HOWEVER, I really don't think you're going to get what you want out of a tablet, since you are looking for...

    Changing companies at the end of a contract?

    Just a few important steps. Make sure your contract has expired, which puts you on month-to-month. Do NOT cancel your existing service. Start your service with the new company FIRST, and ask them to port your number over. Only ACTIVE numbers can be ported. You will get a temporary phone number...

    HSPA+ 42 data speed on Tmobile.

    Just got my Nexus 4 today, and once it was set up and activated (T-Mobile pre-paid, $30 plan), I did a Speedtest. This is in the eastern edge of the San Francisco Bay Area, indoors sitting at my computer. It's better than my 12 MB Uverse home service! T-Mo has HSPA+ 42 rolled out almost...

    Which carriers are you using the Nexus 4 with? (T-Mobile & its MVNO or AT&T and its MVNO?)

    Re: Which carriers are you using the Nexus 4 with? (T-Mobile & its MVNO or AT&T and its MVNO?) I've got a T-Mo micro-sim in front of me awaiting the arrival of the big brown truck that will drop off my Nexus 4. I'll be using the $30/mo 100 minute/5GB data plan, along with Google Voice and...

    T Mobile 4G no contract & Google Voice App outgoing calls?

    No one is going to be able to tell you if your speeds will be fast enough in your particular home, because that's a radio issue. The Wi-Fi hotspot is somewhat short range, as you might imagine, but it would probably work for a house if centrally located. I just suspect that you'll burn through...

    eBooks on nexus?

    Perhaps a better way (and also an easy way) to get YOUR content into your Kindle app is to download "Send To Kindle". Amazon.com: Send to Kindle This installs a "context menu" (aka right click menu) option to send files to your Kindle account. It natively supports DRM-free .mobi (the format...

    Nexus 7 pust-to-tv, Miracast working?

    Guys, Understand that the Nexus 7 was intentionally designed with certain compromises to keep costs down. Removing things like a rear camera, wired microphone input (the headphone jack is output-only), HDMI output, and dual-band WiFi were cost-cutting decisions that had to be made to get the N7...

    Nexus 7 TMobile sim card?

    As always, it's largely about location. TMo has lots of areas with HPSA+ 21 or 42, but there are still lots of areas, that don't have them yet. Industry-wide, a market is generally considered to be "active" on a higher tier of service, such as HPSA+ 21 or LTE, when 40% of the cell towers in that...

    Removing Photos from Gallery

    No, because they are the same pictures. Google+ uses Picasa as its image hosting/management service, though it's so tightly integrated that it seems like it's actually G+. It's not, it's really Picasa, so if you delete a pic from either G+ or Picasa, both methods affect the same, shared file...

    Dimensions: Optimus V vs. Optimus S

    The Optimus S and V are, other than aforementioned button order, identical. All Optimus "x" phones use a plexiglass screen (not fiberglass, which wouldn't be clear).
