    [Closed] Win an NVIDIA Shield in our Father's Day Contest!

    It's not only good for video games, but I hope to use it as a remote control for my R2-D2 prop replica. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9hwC4BaYl0 Ben

    Galaxy Note 2 vs. Droid DNA-- which Verizon device deserves our money this holiday season?

    I had the VZW Nexus and wouldn't have switched from it to the DNA... it's the Note II's features and the OEM crap is at a level that's still acceptable coming from a Google Experience device. I bought the Note II outright to keep unlimited plan and am going to sell the GNex. Ben

    Roadblocks on the winding road back to stock OTA ICS

    Yup, that's exactly how I got back to stock HLK75D. Problem is you need two OTA Honeycomb updates before you can get the ICS one. Ben

    Roadblocks on the winding road back to stock OTA ICS

    A few days ago I flashed my 4G Xoom back to the stock HLK75D image in preparation for the ICS soak test. Problem is I can't seem to get the interim OTAs needed to pull down the ICS OTA. Once I was able to get the update to HLK75F from D but then couldn't get the next update that takes it to...

    HOW-TO Compile ICS AOSP 4.0.3 (XOOM/GNEX/NEXUS S)

    I have a 4G Xoom and have been wondering why ICS hasn't officially come out yet. When I read Jerry's excellent instructions, it almost seems too easy and given there is no OEM bloatware... why isn't it out yet if compiling is this easy? Then I wonder why so many ROMs for the Xoom have one...

    GSM Galaxy Nexus 2000 mAh extended battery

    A little off-topic, but certainly related I feel... Personally I'd love it if review sites (always) reported whether accessories were compatible with the OEM extended batteries in their product reviews. Phil, if you're reading this, please make it a check list item for all your reviewers to at...

    How do you get ICS voice input when using alternate keyboards?

    Re: How do you get ICS voice input when using alternate keyboards OK, so it's not me then. I was hoping to hear I was missing a setting that would give me what I was looking for... sadly I feared it was yet another early adopter issue with using a new OS with third party apps that aren't up to...

    How do you get ICS voice input when using alternate keyboards?

    Demos of the ICS enhancements to voice input really impressed me so I was excited to give it a shot. But I am not a fan of the stock on-screen keyboard vs others I've gotten used to so the first thing I did was change the keyboard. I am used to Thumb Keyboard 4 on my Xoom and loaded it up on...

    ICS: Notifications won't stop!

    I have the Galaxy Nexus and it does the same thing so I think it's an ICS issue. I found if I use MP3 for notifications it doesn't loop. I have the problem however with the OGG files I brought over from my Droid R2D2 so I suspect it's an issue with the ogg format... unless it's something odd...

    Has anyone noticed their Nexus screen is blotchy?

    I've been able to see it since but you ave to look very hard in a very dark room. Frankly smudges on the screen are more likely to detract from the image in most cases. I'm probably going to chalk it up to part of the joys of today's cheap manufacturing processes and keep it... frankly with my...

    Will extended battery fit with the standard battery cover?

    Problem is I can't see that back lasting long if you remove it daily to swap batteries. Maybe I am wrong. the shell case I got from Verizon is easier to pop off, but I don't like that the back can't fit either. Ben

    Will extended battery fit with the standard battery cover?

    No, however if you leave the cover off the extended battery WILL fit in the Verizon holster and belt clip. But if the back is on it won't quite fit. The holster shell covers the back. I am doing that at the moment though I am not thrilled about it. I am amazed they didn't just use the...

    Has anyone noticed their Nexus screen is blotchy?

    This is my first AMOLED screen so I have no prior experience, but last night I woke up and messed with the phone until I could fall back to sleep and noticed some blotchy-ness on all black screens that after some research I've learned is called "mura" and apparently it is very common on the RAZR...
