    Marshmallow on the big screen (and be back to a Nexus).

    DNA Massive Data Usage

    If it's Sense, I'll have to deal with that. So far, the only plausible explanation (although it doesn't sound like anyone else has this problem). It's a nice phone, but using 800Mb a month for nothing is not going to be acceptable. Since "unlimited" became not, we are usually within 500M of...

    DNA Massive Data Usage

    She has had background data disabled for about 2 weeks now. We're 8 days into our cycle now ... Jun 1 - 8. AndriodOS has used 142Mb on her DNA, my Galaxy Nexus has used 10.1Mb. We use a similar amount of total data usually. Cutting out that 130Mb, our numbers are otherwise close to the same...

    DNA Massive Data Usage

    Not quite sure what you mean here? I've had 4G essentially since Verizon introduced it and have never had AndriodOS eating up my data plan.

    DNA Massive Data Usage

    My wife upgraded from an Incredible2 to a DNA last month. We pretty much immediately got a message saying she was hitting data use limits, which we chalked up to her doing a large amount of app and music downloads. This month she got another 3/4 of the way through the billing cycle. So, I...

    Verizon Galaxy Nexus Signal Loss on sleep

    Both those options are Ok. It really only happens after it has sat for an hour or so. Also doesn't seem to happen if I keep it in a pocket and it is moving around with me. Just if I leave it on the desk and/or charger.

    Verizon Galaxy Nexus Signal Loss on sleep

    This problem happens when I'm at home and my phone goes into standby for a significant amount of time. When I hit the power button, there are signal bars, but no 3G. I've tried setting the phone to CDMA only and CDMA/LTE with no joy. This has just started happening in the last month or so...

    BN Customer Service

    After a few emails they claim I should have a balance on the GC now. Each email has a 3 or 4 day response time. But I refused to sit on the phone for another hour. I thought I would be OK without even rooting the thing, but now can't wait until I can turn it into a pure Android tablet and...

    BN Customer Service

    Anyone else have to deal with BN customer service? My problem was seemingly simple. I had put a $25 gift card on my account, bought one $15 book and had a gift card balance of zero. I only talked to one person. It started with her asking a bunch of questions about the Nook, serial number...

    HOW-TO OEM unlock the Galaxy Nexus

    I figured it out for me. I downloaded the drivers in the link from JoeUserTX. But, his instructions for installation didn't work. When I plugged in the phone and went to device manager, I selected browse my computer for drivers. Then I browsed to the unzipped version of the drivers and the...

    HOW-TO OEM unlock the Galaxy Nexus

    Been at it for a while. I've pretty much done everything and don't have a device that shows ADB or that works. I've been working my way through all the Samsung Android devices on my computer, but it is dozens. None specifically say ADB.

    Who's buying a Verizon Galaxy Nexus?

    I've got about 15G of music I keep on my DInc to play over BT in my car. Being in a Verizon only area, I'd like to finally have a Nexus. It all depends on how much memory the thing has. That seems to still be an unknown ... unless I missed something.

    Win another Droid Incredible from Android Central! (contest)

    BB Tour with a wonky trackball. It's slow, and even slower when the trackball starts acting up worse than usual.

    Win a Droid Incredible from Android Central! (contest)

    What Incredible things will I do? I'll run Trackaroo's TrackMaster for data collection on my track car. My old Dell Axim died and I haven't been able to run MaxQData for a year or so. I'll finally surf the web with a real browser, instead of the BB Tour browser I have now. I'll finally ditch...
