    [Closed] The Android Central non-sexist, non-spammy OnePlus One contest

    My GNex is starting to show its age. This would be a great replacement.

    Verizon Galaxy Nexus - Installing Roms Improperly

    I've heard TWRP currently doesn't play nice with 4.4. Swap it out for the latest version of CWM, which does work with 4.4, and then try flashing the ROM again. CORRECTION: TWRP evidently does play nice with 4.4 since version 2.6.3.2 was released last week. Update to the latest version and try...

    4.3 surpise

    Google just confirmed the GNex will not get 4.4 at all, so there goes that theory.

    Google: Samsung Galaxy Nexus won't get updated to Android 4.4 KitKat

    That's disappointing, but I guess this day had to come eventually. I'm sure we'll get some 4.4 ROMs from Cyanogen and others, but it would've been nice to have an official one. For that matter, it'd be nice to have an official 4.3 update.

    Non-destructive root for Verizon Samsung galaxy nexus

    Technically rooting isn't destructive. It's unlocking the bootloader that wipes everything. If you're unlocked, root away and you'll be fine. If not, I think you're out of luck. There was an exploit that allowed rooting the G-Nex without unlocking the bootloader, but Google patched it in 4.2.

    Best Buy (in store) still offering 3 months free of Netflix!!

    When I got mine, they were keeping it behind the counter in the home theater section. I'm guessing they didn't bother setting up a display since they sold so quickly. I overheard one of the employees saying their system showed 19 in stock even though the actual number was 0 because they sold...

    Choppy video when casting from a chome tab

    It can be choppy if the WiFi signal isn't very strong or if you have a lot of traffic on your network. You can try setting the video quality to 480p instead of 720p in the Chromecast extension settings. Obviously the video won't look as good, but it should help to smooth out the playback.
