    Why does mobile hangouts suck to videochat?

    I was wondering about that, too... I just tried out video hangout on my Nexus 5 and it stutters quite a bit. My WiFi is pretty fast, too (around 12Mbps down and 9-10Mbps up usually)

    Nexus 5 owners with T-Mobile $30 Prepaid Plan Thread

    I am seeing really horrible LTE speed with my Nexus 5. With 3 bars and LTE I am getting around 5 Mbps down and anywhere from 1.5 - 4Mbps. This is downtown Denver. I talked to T-Mobile and the rep said that my device is a 'non T-Mobile device' and that my speeds are 'normal.' That doesn't make...

    What version of Android does the EVO 4G come with?

    I don't actually have the phone, and the store doesn't have EVOs out on display anymore so I can't check. Are either one of you using an EVO? If so which version of Android are you running?

    What version of Android does the EVO 4G come with?

    My parents are looking to getting the free offer for the Sprint HTC EVO 4G, and they want to know which version of Android it ships with and is capable of running WITHOUT rooting. I've been searching everywhere but can't seem to find the info. It's only listed as 2.3 and not 2.3.x so I have no...

    Push email is not instantaneous?

    All of my email accounts are, or rather were, set up as IMAP. After about 10 days of playing around with the Nexus S and Android, I've come to the conclusion that it's not for me. The past few days have been particularly frustrating as I thought that this app or that app could solve the issue...

    Push email is not instantaneous?

    So... back to my original question. Do people just not care about having push email that works properly?? I am hating this phone more and more with all of these random little annoyances.

    NoLED Notification app disables email & SMS sounds?

    I have a very specific behavior that I am trying to get working on a NS4G, that doesn't seem like it's possible. I am hoping that I am doing something incorrectly and that someone can help. I have a unique notification sound set up for SMS, each of my 5 email accounts, and each of my Instant...

    Manually updated to 2.3.5, still get 2/4 bands for Wifi

    Are you able to connect your phone to wifi via WPA at all? From what I've read, it seems like the NS4G has problem connecting to WEP and will only connect to WPA. But my experience so far has been the exact opposite so I don't know what to make of it. I would rather use WPA for my wireless...

    Keyboard suggestions please

    ok, a little update... I gave SlideIT a full testing and found it to be not as good as Swype. I made a ton more errors and correcting/adding words to the dictionary is more difficult. Also, the fact that you have to manually switch between slide mode and tap mode is a huge inconvenient. On the...

    Push email is not instantaneous?

    What about for non-gmail accounts? Any luck on that front? UPDATE 1: I'm currently using the K-9 Email client because I have gmail and non-gmail accounts, 5 total. Using separate email clients for different accounts is just not an acceptable workaround for me. Anyone have tips or thoughts on...

    Push email is not instantaneous?

    I came from a Palm Pre, where I have 5 email accounts (2 gmail, 2 google, and 1 of my own domain via google apps) all pushing to the phone. Email is always pretty much instantaneous as I have it set to be deliver "as it arrives" I'm trying to get the same thing going on the NS4G but there...

    Manually updated to 2.3.5, still get 2/4 bands for Wifi

    I got this phone on the 3rd, with 2.3.4 preinstalled and was never able to get wifi working. Then the 2.3.5 OTA update came, which I thought might fix the issue. It still did not. A few days ago, I decided to change my router's encryption method from WPA to WEP to see if it would make a...

    Keyboard suggestions please

    What is the difference between Swype and SlideIt? I can't seem to tell the difference in the way they work. Does SlideIt just have a much better word recognition algorithm or something? I've been using Swype for about a week now, and notice that when it works it works well, but when it fails...
