I went to Walgreen's today and when the cashier asked if I had a Walgreen's card she said to just do the normal NFC payment instead of scanning the barcode in the android pay app. Lo and behold, my rewards card was not utilized (rest assured, one can retroactively add the receipt online). It...

How do I view my step count on the watch?

At my university I am one of the few who possesses both a PC (Lenovo) and an Android (Nexus 5). What can I say? I'm a CS major. And I've never looked back or felt regret....until now. I am extremely jealous of my Apple counterparts in their ability to send and receive texts from their computer...

Yeah, my 32GB black doesn't ship until Dec 2nd. Was the iPhone launch like this? Did they not anticipate this much demand?

What is the difference between straight talk and gophone?

Interesting. So straight talk gives me ATT's coverage including LTE and all I need to do is buy a sim from them?

Okay, so if I use AT&T do I need to setup a 2 year contract or can I do it prepaid?

Unfortunately it's time for me to say goodbye to Verizon. I'm jumping ship to go to a carrier that has a less tenuous relationship with Google. After the whole tablet fiasco coupled with VZW's decision not to carry the Nexus 5, I've decided that this is probably a good decision. But where do I...

A few questions pertaining to email: 1) In the sent folder, it doesn't say who I sent them to. It just shows that it was from myself. Well duh! 2) Can I search a specific folder? At the moment, it only lets me search the entire mailbox.

I've found out that the Android email app is fairly robust and a great competitor to say the iPhone. It's also way better than what companies do to destroy it in their skins, but that's another story isn't it. My questions is in regard to searching. I have all of my emails downloaded to the...

Excellent suggestion. K-9 is a good solution, and the conventional voice to text via google works. Thanks.

My dad upgraded from his iPhone to the Note II for the bigger screen and annotation capabilities with the pen. And email is paramount to him. But the stock app is a no go because the voice to text doesn't auto capitalize and doesn't know the new line or paragraph command (which is lame). So I...

~Solved~

I accidentally threw away the charger I had for my GNEX and I'm looking to buy a new one that is an exact replica of the one that came in the box. I went on Samsung's website and they have it, but the link is broken. Thanks, Ruben

Yay! The Galaxy Nexus came out today! The bad news, however, is that I can't purchase it at the subsidized price because my upgrade is in exactly 14 days. Now, I've had my lovely Incredible for 20 months, what's two weeks to Verizon? Is there any way to get around this and upgrade early? Ruben
