    Is it possible the account for the nexus is in the 5% that gets throttled on high traffic towers?

    Thanks for that, I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help. I spent 20 minutes flailing about trying to root my gnex, only to find I had skipped a critical step. I'll probably read for a few weeks before I try anything else.

    Have you checked out the screen thread yet? You might have gotten lemons. My screen has none of what you've listed, and it's too early for burn in.

    I spend more than 10 min in the shower, I put a wireless waterproof speaker in there with me. I got it for like $20 online.

    NOW I'm a real nexus owner. Feels great in my hand though it's a bit more than I'm used to pocketing.

    Yes it costs money when you call one, but you make money if you are on the receiving end of that call.

    1. One of those liquify sealants put on at the factory. I had to throw my phone onto concrete once when a several drunk people decided to push me into the pool. Don't care about brand just make it waterproof. 2. Full sized USB port read/write, put it behind a cover or whatever you have to to...

    Oh yes, I spent over an hour online trying to make that work, and even called up my school's tech support desk. No luck. I tried on the droid email app, another one I can't remember, and k-9. I couldn't make it work. I eventually synced it to my gmail, tagged all the mail coming in TO that...

    That's the reason why you'd have a phone in the bathroom during a shower or bath.

    Post NEW Galaxy Nexus Owners, Introduce Yourself HERE!

    I'm not sure if I'm a nexus owner yet. I got one yesterday and it wouldn't say on, rebooted itself every 5 minutes even during a call and the screen wouldn't rotate. It may have been certified but like new it ain't. They're sending me another one, but I figured I'd say hi because I've been...

    Post Goodbye Bionic Hello Nexus

    From my readings it's a more energy efficient screen vs a better looking screen. The slim profile doesn't mean a lot to me, I hauled around an OG droid until January. One warning, the tech I was talking to told me they had had razr's calling in with the same data issue that bionic has...

    Post Goodbye Bionic Hello Nexus

    I never rooted my bionic and my reading lead me to believe that the dev community hadn't fixed this particular issue with the data. You can buy a 4k battery fro the nexus for $20 so that wasn't a big issue to me. They didn't offer me a maxx just the regular razr.

    Since the sticky will just get outdated when the OP gives up, like this and many many other threads, why not just put the links in the wiki and make a sticky that links to that? Then it can be updated by anybody from xda.

    Post [Q] [Verizon] Galaxy Nexus losing signal constantly - fixes?

    I've had one "certified" bionic and I honestly couldn't tell it from a new one. Six months later I'm having the data drop issues and they're sending me a nexus. Hoping we both have some luck with this. Are you getting the extended battery? They told me they were out of the regular batteries...

    Post Goodbye Bionic Hello Nexus

    To those who haven't had any trouble with the bionic, I envy you greatly. I think I've given the phone more than a fair shake at this point and it gave me a white 4g signal of doom in return. They want it back. I'd like to keep it, perhaps one day, when cars fly, moto will fix it and I'd...

    I just got off my 3rd phone call with VZW. 1st call- Told them some of what I had tried to do to fix the data dropping. (All of which I read about here or elsewhere on the interwebz) Removed battery, adjusted nighttime settings. Result- New Sim Card, no data drops for 2 days, then they came...

    Post [THOUGHT] The Nexus 7 Isn't Really the Xoom's Successor

    My next tab will either be a >10" GED with a full usb port, screen upgrade and a really good processor or I'll go back to using a laptop. I really see no value in a smaller tab. My phone has a 5" display, why would I buy a 7" tab? A whole other device to pay for, update, and tweak for a rather...

    Post [Q] Poor battery life with Team EOS 2.0.0

    I went from 2.0 to nightly 110 and I think that improved it. It'll take me a week or two to be sure but you might consider it. I can't be sure it's hard to notice a trend like that, it could be the placebo effect.

    Been waiting for this semester to end so I wouldn't need my xoom on a daily basis. Now I've finished my finals, finally, and run through these steps. I expected it to be a more arduous task than it was. However, it was a learning experience. For one I learned the difference between internal...

    Thanks for taking a look around, but those are different authors. Finding free textbooks in current use would be a neat trick though. I thought you were wondering about the subject matter. The only way to make sure you have the right book, normally, is the ISBN because all the books at this...

    That did it. I had tried this on firefox and dolphin but those didn't work. Not sure if I was doing it properly. I had read on the forums that dolphin was a better browser before I even got the xoom so I didn't use the default browser. It let me try as an ipad and a desktop using the wizard...

    I believe I've done my due diligence in trying to find this by searching. My goal is to eliminate as many textbooks as possible from my backpack, but there seem to be a number of arbitrary walls in ebooks. CourseSmart and Kindle both carry the book I need. CouseSmart doesn't allow offline...

    Post [Q] Why do YOU want the Xoom?

    I got my xoom in the mail this afternoon. I bought it because more and more college professors are restricting laptops, but allowing tablets. My handwriting is terrible so I prefer to type my notes, a bluetooth keyboard and I can type at full speed. I'm looking over the forums here for some...
