    Thread Local video streaming?

    What do you guys prefer as a method to watch locally streamed movies? For the iPad, VLC streamer worked great. I tried using VLC and watching it directly as a mkv file saved on the SD card, but was lame for 2 reasons; 1. Took time to transfer the file before watching 2. VLC, being beta and...

    Thread US Shipping time

    Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on what to expect for shipping based on having bought a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 from the play store in the past. Google tends to ship at 5am after processing orders the night before and much progress is made on the first day. So at least for the Midwest...

    Thread Fastboot does not work but ADB does

    Hey guys, The power button on my phone stopped working this morning (without water damage). I'm preparing the phone to return to Samsung warranty, and in the process of reseting to stock and re-locking the OEM I noted that the phone does not respond to fastboot commands in the bootloader...

    Thread No iphone discussion policy

    we need an area for general discussion. just redirecting us to an apple fan site won't do. i understand the value of keeping these threads organized but there has to be some outlet. i propose every device has an unrestricted general sub-forum or something along that line.

    Thread Remove text messaging limit

    How do you remove the error message "A large number of text messages are being sent. Press OK to continue or Cancel to stop" Is this gone with custom ROMs (I'm on stock). This is really frustrating and coded really poorly. I have to send a text message, WAIT, and if I click anywhere other...

    Thread Chrome OS

    What do you guys think of the new Chrome OS release, demoed on the new 5 series samsung laptop? After playing around with ICS on my galaxy nexus for the last few weeks I've begun to be incredibly impressed by Google's capability to make an operating system. Never thought of getting a chrome...

    Thread Blue screen when viewed at an angle

    Is this normal? I want to know if this is a good reason to send the phone back for repairs. The phone has a warm, pretty reasonable yellowish tint to it when viewed straight on. This looks like it was designed this way. When switched to a 30 or 45 degree angle, which really isn't that bad...

    Thread [Q] i9000 Slow USB Connection

    I've found that anytime I use an i9000 ROM I have a painfully slow USB connection relative to what I get with a Captivate ROM. I tried a quick search but nothing came up for me. It's almost as if with i9000 it defaults to USB 1.0. Wondering if I should try installing Kies drivers or...

    Thread Preventing background mode

    Is there any way to prevent a commercial app from running in the background? Specifically, Pandora is buggy as can be for me - it'll just start playing when I'm on the phone, using another music app, etc. Force kill frequently is one option - another I'm looking for is to restrict...
