    Post [Q] Nexus 4 Random Power Off

    Hmm. That is a good idea. The PITA part would be to get everything loaded from my phone to hers. I really wish I could run Titanium backup without root as it would make it super easy to move the apps over. Though I don't have that much loaded on my phone. Things that are a pain to set up have...

    Post [Q] Nexus 4 Random Power Off

    I don't want to root and have my mom run a modified ROM. They live about a half hour from me so I haven't tried a wipe of the phone yet and because of the distance I don't want to deal with the issues that sometimes come up when you go with modified ROMs when I am not there. She is a very basic...

    That is what I am kind of thinking. Either the battery or the smart battery chips. I think I will try a wipe first but like I said but it is odd.

    Post [Q] Droid Incredible 4G GSM question

    Thanks. I saw some posts from a while back that hinted at that but it mentions an upcoming update which may change some things. To be safe I will test it with my new T-Mobile SIM when I get that. The Nexus 4 also uses the micro SIM. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    I'll try and keep this from turning into a book. Basically I have a HTC Thunderbolt right now. It is being replaced under the extended warranty that I have with Verizon. Since they don't have any more T-bolts they are sending me a HTC Incredible 4G under my total equipment protection policy...

    Ordered the 29th and got a shipping notice from Google Play this morning that it has shipped along with the tracking number. UPS says I will have it on Monday. Still nothing from UPS My Choice. Maybe Google is getting better with their shipping notices.

    Crap, I forgot about the check block also. I don't know that the would need to open up the box. I would imagine that they know which device they are shipping to you and they could just watch for the device to show up on the web.

    I have the same issue and mine isn't rooted yet so I don't think it is an issue with that. A wipe of the device doesn't help but a reboot usually does. This is my second N7 as the first was a warranty replacement for the headphone jack issue. The first never had the issue so I think it is an...

    No I was wondering why they pulled the ability to order from Google Play. I was looking locally but couldn't find anything so I was going to just order off Play and wait for it.

    I am mainly using Class 10 as that is what I had laying around in the Micro SD Card Format. I have a 32 GB Class 4 in my Thunderbolt and it is fine. Do you really think it would slow it down much if it is Class 10? I could always toss it in an adapter and use it in my Canon T3i.

    Post [Q] Possible Droid OTA 2.2 Update Issue

    Yea, when you root your phone you typically break the OTA updates. This is done on purpose so you don't loose root with an update. Typically there is a way to go back to the official build but I don't know what that is on the Droid as I don't have one.

    Yeah, I see where I missed that it wasn't included in R22. :o Well I am back on R22. Things seem OK. For some reason I can't get into the market right now. I will play with it later. Other than that it seems to be working fine. I might want to make sure I am on the current radio build.

    Thanks, the one that resembles the Google mount where it wraps around the phone more might do the trick. While the bar mount included does me no good it looks like it has a ball on the end that may work with a RAM mount. If it doesn't I am only out $20. I think I will order one up.

    For those of us that went into the boot loader to repartition the SD Card there is the option for creating a swap partition. What did you use for that? I did 64MB because that is what I had when I did Apps2SD on my G1. Just wondering if anyone else configured that and if so what size they used.
