what is up with the location? i usually don't geotag photos but i accidentally said "allow" for location, and i'm seeing this in my photo info (i don't live in China...i live on the west coast of the USA):

Does anyone know what this dummy_account is? I can manually delete it from this list by long pressing, but it seems to come back after a reboot, maybe. It doesn't appear in Settings > Accounts, or any other place that lists accounts, so maybe it's some weird Hangouts thing? It's only accessed in...

after sitting on stock rooted 4.1.2 for the longest time, i finally bit the bullet and went F2FS with SlimKat 4.8, 4.4.2. It. Is. FANTASTIC. it seriously breathes new life into my Nexus 7. i used to just use the tablet to save battery life on my Galaxy SIII, but now, i prefer using the tablet...

issue with acting on notifications i have "disable lockscreen" checked within Gravity settings, and my global setting is to only enable lockscreen after 30 minutes. the lock screen doesn't come up when the screen turns on, but if i tap on a notification, the lock screen will pop up and i have...

sorry to hear that. i thought my nexus 7 died a few months ago (it would only show white static and stuff) but i just left it plugged in for 12 hours and it magically started working again. how did you pay for your nexus? if you used a credit card that has some bells and whistles, it may extend...

i'm still on B14...should i upgrade? after messing around with my friend's Nexus 5, i'm getting the itch to either flash B20 or go with an AOSP ROM. the N5 is so fast, so smooth, and so responsive, while my B14 is just...very good. would there be any real performance gains by going to B20 or...

first, install something like GSAM: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm&hl=en or better battery stats (BBS): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en charge to full, unplug, and let it do its thing for a day and see what is...

any reason to flash B19 when i've been using B14 for the past ~year? i have almost zero complaints about B14 and it was before the 50% volume booster thing which i definitely do NOT want. is there any real reason for me to flash B19? i'm not crazy about having to set up screens all over again...

i have been running B14 for months and i don't want to go up because of various issues that people have been experiencing. i have used pie launcher within LMT before but i did "disable" it in manage applications at one point. i re-enabled it today but i cannot seem to get it to work. anyone...

i'm not sure if they lied - my understanding was that you can easily swap a local SIM in to get access to voice and text, but that data does not work (at least out of the box). there's another post that talks about swapping APNs, which is what you would need to do. i thought that the latest OTA...

What? This happens with local music files. I don't think it has anything to do with "all access" and "the amount of traffic the servers are getting hit with." This is one if the few bugs I have with Beans. I live with it but I might go back to the stock ROM eventually.

the card isn't going bad, and sometimes a nandroid to internal storage still goes funky. if i try to verify the md5 before restoring, i get an error every time. what could that be a symptom of?

sometimes the backup is 1.2 GB, sometimes 1.5 GB, sometimes 1.6 GB, sometimes 2.1 GB. could it be that sometimes i'm creating a backup with only ~3 GB free (either internal or external SD card)? i'm back and running because i found a nandroid from two weeks ago that works, and it was right...

it seems like i have a 30% chance of creating a proper nandroid backup (as in, maybe 3 out of 10 i have made in the past month seem to work, and the rest either give me errors when trying to restore, or they'll just sit on the splash screen upon rebooting, or they'll just "restore" me back to...

other weird quirks going on with B14 i've had the phone start talking to me (like driving mode style) immediately after a power up for no reason, and i haven't been able to replicate it. also, today i went to unplug my phone and i got a message that said something to the effect of "switching...
