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...

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

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.

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...

You were clamoring for this update - or have you forgotten?

Are you in the software industry?

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...

Newsflash: your phone was outdated the day after it was released.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...

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.
