I wish I had more than the 16GB which is really only around 12 when you factor in the normal apps I have installed and operating system. I'll be on vacation this week and since I'm not sure how well the wifi will be there I loaded up a few movies from google play including a couple I purchased...

You will likely have a great experience with the GNex because it's a little older and has all the bugs worked out by now. The specs are more than capable of taking you a couple years without feeling regret. As someone that bought a Thunderbolt shortly after they came out and a Nexus 7 recently...

I wish I was bug free. I love the Nexus 7 when it works but I'm on my third device as of yesterday. The new one is flawless so far but it's only been up for about 12 hours. First one got a dead pixel line down the center the third day and the second had the oddest operating system glitch I've...

Re: Received 7 defective Nexus 7's and Google is now refusing RMA I'm actually pleased with the RMA process but miffed that so many are having major issues. I almost never have had to return an electronics device within the first two weeks of ownership and my third Nexus 7 was just delivered...

I had the same issue as Richard_RSP. Almost word for word. I have messed with the thing enough and will be getting a replacement. It's good to know at least that it's something that may be an issue that will get a firmware fix soon. The more that get returned with this issue the faster the...

When I first got my TBolt last year I waited everyday for an update to fix known issues. The phone rebooted itself, certain apps like skype video calling didn't work, and the batteyr life needed two charges a day even on basic usage. I'm happy to say it took a couple long months but eventually...

I really like my TBolt but next time I'm getting a Nexus model since Google supports it with day 1 updates when they come up with something. All other hardware makers get on the eventually list so it's just a waiting game with them. I still have about a year to go until I get an early upgrade...

I bet Netflix was required to keep the bandwidth buffer really low to please the cell carriers so that no unnecessary usage is wasted once a user backs out of the app. Keep in mind with data caps if you have an extended buffer and you don't finish to that point you may be paying for bandwidth...

I got a bit interested in battery technology when I got my first smartphone a while back and read that a group of geniuses at MIT patented a way to charge a lithium ion battery in seconds by developing a way for the ions to quickly return to the cell. Now I may not be saying that right because...

I'm glad I saw this thread. I've had the same issue and figured all along that the app needed to be tweaked. Other video services like google's rental service, IMDB trailers, Vevo, youtube are all perfect but Netflix always had this odd out of sync lag with their player after viewing anything...

The reboots are terribly annoying since I've never had a phone that simply decided to do it on its own like this before. That said I still love the Thunderbolt and hope a patch fixes this one issue. The other annoying thing about them is that even with the phone plugged in during a reboot the...
