Boom goes the dynamite.

Found this on YouTube...Phandroid has the same video up as well, ALSO they report that Indirect Stores have had the GN added to the Cellebrite system.

Folks, I do believe that go time is almost upon us!

back up assistant? I don't want to complain because I know I'll get rid of it either way... but isn't that one of those apps that can't be uninstalled by normal means? Where as the MyVerizon is install able from the market. Do you guys see what I'm getting at??

I've seen videos of LTE up to around 20 mbits, and my friends usually get 10-12. It's definitely a massive jump over the 1-2 mbits I get on 3G

I've had 70mb in Baltimore City. 50 isn't un common...

That is from someone else cause I haven't screen shot my speed test.

I realize Motorola tends to use better radio hardware there is no reason the GN won't get similar results...

My thoughts exactly. This (probably) won't stop me from getting this phone (perhaps), but definitely makes me think twice (maybe).

Never experienced a Nexus device before, but do other carriers have similar respective apps on their Nexuses (...Nexi?)

No xero, most other manufacturers leave the nexus barebones, no added software.


I would also venture to guess that you cannot uninstall those programs by regular means....myverizon and back up assistant are two progs that cannot be uninstalled on vzw smartphones by default (if they are on their by default that is).

Well, damn. There goes that "pure" google experience.

if you don't mind rooting there are ways to remove these programs I believe. I really want to find a way to get rid of them manually anyways, time to do some digging.

I'm pretty sure you can just hit up applications and uninstall. I don't think they're locked down into the phone to require root capabilities in order to remove.

Why can't I just get a terminal emulator and go rm -rf <program>? Android is linux isn't it?

No you can't, at least not on most vzw android phones.

If you look at my link there is a method to remove via linux, but you gotta download the android SDK and risk bricking your device. You also must be rooted for it to work.

You don't need root anymore with ics to do this. While you cannot free the storage taken up by the app, ics allows you to deactivate any app that is baked into the rom, it will not show up in your app tray and it will not use any background resources. The app will remain in your app list in settings were it can be reactivated if you choose to do so.

LTE speeds do vary depending upon your location. NYC is a little slower than Cleveland for example, but I always seem to get 7 mbps down minimum no matter where I am so long as LTE is available. In NYC over Thanksgiving, my sister's iPhone 4S didn't see nearly that speed. Reception and speed depend upon so many variables, so testing it out where you are is a must.

Pretty much the first thing I'm doing when I get the GN is disabling Backup Assistant. It doesn't beat being able to uninstall it, but close enough.

1. if you do root, i think titanium backup can uninstall system apps
2. what is 'videos?' the red icon makes me suspicious.

I want it uninstalled, no traces. Rooting is the only way to do so.

This has been addressed before, and no, it's not something that can't be uninstalled.

I honestly don't get the "outrage" over the 2 apps that verizon will include. It's 2 apps, and has no impact on your experience with the device. To me, the "outrage" is the same as people who like or dislike something purely because of the brand name, not because of the capabilities/characteristics of the product.

Not so much. For me the case is not allowing VZW the possibility of accessing all my data and storing it on their server. It does impact my experience because every time I open up my app menu I'll see that ugly little red refresh sign with a lock in the middle....what a ing joke, a lock in the middle of an app that steals all my information and stores it on a VZW server (which btw if you don't opt out of VZWs marketing BS they may very well use this information).
