    Nexus 5 with Lollipop impressions

    Chrome tabs being part of Overview doesn't really work well and it's far less efficient. Before I switched Chrome back it was driving me insane trying to organize the tabs because I ended up with half a dozen tabs with the same title, which made it hard to figure out which page I'd read and...

    Nexus 5: 4.4.3 rolling out now

    Re: 4.4.3 rolling out now Has nothing to do with T-Mob. The update for your Google phone comes directly from Google.

    Things I HATE about my phone

    So you need wider keys but you're contemplating an iPhone with that ridiculous thin screen? At least with Android you can download new keyboards.

    OT: Port landline number to Google Voice... workaround?

    IIRC you can port the landline to a cell first then to GV. Prolly using a no-contract cell service and dirt cheap cell fone off eBay. Still gonna cost a few bucks tho. I thought about porting my number when I switched my landline to GV but decided most people that had my number were companies I...

    droid razr maxx & jelly bean update problems

    If you were keeping important data in your phone, didn't back it up and didn't email it to yourself, I agree, go get an iPhone - I heard they're perfect and wouldn't even lose your data if you dropped and broke your phone or drowned it or lost it. Anyone that smart should definitely get an...

    4.2.2 Auto Display Brightness - no joy.

    I think it's mostly 'cos Google's head is up its ass. It used to work, now it doesn't. Put the old code back. Not difficult.

    4.1.2 REAL update

    For crying out loud. Vzw sent the update over the air. It's official whether they're happy about it or not. Do you seriously believe they can just say "well sure we sent it out but we didn't really want to so sorry but there's no update path for you"? This is not the same as someone walking out...

    4.1.2 REAL update

    Newsflash: your phone was outdated the day after it was released. Get a Nexus phone if you want frequent updates - or root and flash whatever makes you happy. Verizon and Motorola make $0.00 providing updates and they don't include "you'll get updates" in your contract so if you get one...

    Support useless - I guess I'm throwing out my tab and buying something else

    Google knows your s/n. Call them back and tell them you need it for the ASUS warranty repair.

    This plus the terrible auto-brightness bug they introduced.
