    Nexus 5, usb port semi-broken, can't connect to computer, Stuck on original L preview.

    Okay, so my USB port still charges the devices, but the data connection pins appear to not be working. Reason for Thoery: I tried multiple ports, 3 usb cables, and they all work fine with my Cracked-screen Nexus 4. My computer can detect the Nexus 4 fine, and not the Nexus 5. Even in device...

    [Closed] Win one of two Nexus 5 devices from Android Central!

    2/15,000 about. so one in 1/8000. Beats any lottery prize in odds, is free, and, prize. I mean, even if you got a million dollars, you'd have to wait 4-5 weeks for a Nexus 5. I guess I don't really Need one. about 40% of my Nexus 4's touchscreen still responds to touches (the other 60% doesn't...

    "Moto X has features no one has revealed yet"

    I think you are right about Tizen, and firefox, but Samsung forking Android has got to be a serious threat to Google. The biggest obstacle right now has to be maps, and the app store. App store they can partner with Amazon, or even get their own one going; which developer wouldn't submit their...

    I have a Nexus 4, and am going to Google I/O; need help with prepaid data plans.

    Thanks. Yea, it's hard to beat the $3/day for unlimited everything. (well 4g data limited to 200mb, but there should be wifi most places. I mainly need it for maps. Though I don't think my hotel has free wifi, there's a Starbucks that's a 2 minute walk.) Great to hear! Do you know around what...

    I have a Nexus 4, and am going to Google I/O; need help with prepaid data plans.

    Hi, I live in Canada, and DO NOT want to use my current plan because roaming prices are ridiculous. The best deal I've found so far is t-mobiles 3$/day with 200mb of "4g" data. I also know there are a bunch of smaller carriers that use on the bigger networks, but don't know much about them...

    Nexus 4 Shutter Sound

    but that requires you to turn down the volume every time you want to take a quick photo, then remember to turn it back up. Quite honestly, I'm baffled that they have fake shutter sounds; I struggle to comprehend their usefulness.

    texting..

    Not sure what his situation, and I've never had to text that many myself, but potential reasons: Teacher/coach for field trip/game times. Boss needs to email all employees. Worker needs to email colleagues working on big project. Business owner needs to contact a group of clients at once to...

    nexus 4 available in canada noon PST

    I got 3-4 week shipping. Was refreshing like mad. then got distracted for split second, by something, look back, it's there, so I buy it. Looked at what I'd bought and had somehow ended up with a nexus 7 instead of a nexus 4. so Then I went back and bought the nexus 4 and cancelled the nexus 7...

    GOOGLE Please Learn from Apple!

    Re: GOOG Plz Learn from Apple! I agree. Here was my list sent to a friend: 1) Actually email people with time, and not make a useless registration, where you don't actually email anyone with anything ever. 2) Don't start early. Use the time you emailed to people. 3)Do preorders. So even If I...

    High demand..or low supply?

    very poor supply. I only knew two people who wanted to buy this, and that's including myself. I'm not sure if it's artificial, or if that'd be even smart. For many of us who stayed up late, then woke up early, aren't too happy with Google. We'll still buy the phone, but be much less excited...

    What a F'ing joke!!!!!!

    No, it is not just a phone. It is my night, and my morning gone. Yes, I was willing to sacrifice those to get a phone, because I'm currently using someone elses', but I didn't get the phone. It would be just a phone, if Google had said pre-orders start at 12, and everyone preordered, and as a...

    Are you excited? I am excited!

    Am I excited?.... Well, let`s see, I passionately hated gingerbread when I first got my Nexus S (Phone before was a palm pre). Then it got ICS, which made it so much better. But it broke (or I broke it) before It could get Jelly Bean. So, I then went without a phone for a month, found an old...

    I have a Nexus 4, you have questions. Fire away.

    Hi, I know this is very unlikely, but any chance Google decided to adopt the iPhone standard for the 3.5mm headphone jack since no one makes Android headphones? (in other words, does the iPhone's headphones' 3 buttons work on it, or only the middle one?) I'm expecting a "no", but thought I'd ask.

    Good pair of headphones/headset with 3 button controls?

    wow, that does seem like a good deal. But I forgot to mention, I live in Canada, so that is not available to me... Also, as I stated, I really dislike in-ear headphones. Will however keep track of that website for buying family's and friends' gifts in the future.
