What are your toro custom rom recommendations? I am getting sick of waiting for 4.04 OTA.
How do you turn off animations on the Google Nexus? Is that only for rooted phones?Turning off the animations on the Droid (since they were choppy anyway) made that thing greased lightning.
Funny enough, I can't bring myself to do the same on the GN, despite the same benefits. I guess its different when the animations are actually smooth huh? I can bear the extra second or so for the data to display in this case.
Check this out guys!!
True Nexus freedom!! I want them to re-think this!!
But they are not going to piss off their net neutrality buddies (Verizon).
I agree with the concept, but that article and specifically the title are misleading.
They estimated 'unlimited' users would use about 15MB per month. Most of us use that much overnight while our phones are sleeping.
Brought more in today's terms, though, I agree completely with the idea.
Oh god, I really want this phone but $399 is a stretch =/ Damn you ATT! Not really phone knowledgeable and this is probably a little off topic but what phones are comparable to the Galaxy Nexus that are available/coming out on ATT? Been sitting with my 3GS and was kinda waiting on the iPhone 5 but I'm yearning for something different from iOS.

Awesome, thanks!You can disable transition animations on damn near every unrooted android device running Froyo and higher.
For the GN, go to settings then developer options. Go to the transition and window animation scale at the bottom and set them to off.
there's a lot of variance in the screens unfortunately. Unmodded GS2s had green tints, so I'm not really sure which is worse.Ok so I picked up a Galaxy Nexus, slightly used, still like new though. Is it normal for the screen to appear grainy when the brightness is low? White looks grey. Welcome to Pentile? :/ GS2 is not like this.

Do your grays look purple at low brightness?

There are at least 2 very different GN screens. Everyone I know that has one besides me (4) has a more washed out, lighter screen with more purple. I can only assume that's the more common screen.Ok so I picked up a Galaxy Nexus, slightly used, still like new though. Is it normal for the screen to appear grainy when the brightness is low?

So is the Verizon GN ever going to be updated? I'm tired of my phone switching from 4G->3G->no data when I need to use it.

I knew that there was no way that Verizon wouldn't fuck anything up. Seriously, why is it that them and Comcast are the only two companies that annoy the hell out of me. I'm only sticking with them since we have a family plan. As soon as I work full time, I'm seriously going to consider leaving and going the GSM route despite not having their LTE and "reliable" service.
you're not going to get much better unless you only buy unlocked GSM.
I actually switched to Verizon because i work at comcast, and with the what is basically a merger but not a merger between them and VZW i figured my bill would lower dramatically shortly.
there are variations in the screens and they don't all turn purple at low brightness. There's a picture on the Internet showing 3 GNs side by side at the same brightness and all 3 screens have different colors of grays. Some kind of flaw with the green sub pixels but I wish I knew the reason they were affected.i doubt you're the only person who doesnt have an issue, I think its more likely you just dont notice it

Of course I don't think I'm the only one. I can definitely notice the difference, I'll post a picture tonight.i doubt you're the only person who doesnt have an issue, I think its more likely you just dont notice it
Copernicus.....that name seems familiar...
Indeed. Welcome back.
Is there a way to get Google music to recognize your album art?

You can add it after the upload too in Google Music on a computer browser.Sounds like a trouble maker if you ask me.
Thanks. I think if you embed it in the mp3 before uploading it should show up in Google Music.

Mine may still have a purple hue, but the 4 others I have access to are definitely worse along with more washed out overall. You'll notice in the pictures that are soon to come, I'm sure.i've seen 5 Gnex's, one GSM and 4 LTE, none had the purple hue. All have banding with gray backgrounds, that's just pentile. I've never seen the comparison pictures, but since it seems EVERYONE has the purple hue i just can't see it
So I ended up rooting my phone in order to install the 4.0.4 update without wiping the phone. However, I lost root after the update(expected that), but now SuperUser app is still lodged in the /system/ directory, but I don't actually have root. How do I get out of this? =(
Anybody using an MHL adapter? Netflix seems to ouput at only like 480i through the MHL, but still displays 720p on the phone itself. What the hell dudes?
The other day I plugged my phone into my projector, connected my bluetooth zeemote, and boom I was playing 100" Tetrisphere through my Phone. Modular computing...mmmm so good.
DAT DRM!
(i don't know if this is true, just guessing)
What if the songs are just local on my phone?You can add it after the upload too in Google Music on a computer browser.
Ohhh, sorry. I'm not sure about that. Is it not recognizing any of your album art? I know it can since my cousin uses Google Music that way, even though his album art is all messed up from bTunes, but that's another thing.What if the songs are just local on my phone?
So when is jellybean expected to hit? You guys think it'll be to ICS what GB was to Froyo? What improvements are you wanting most at this stage?
fuckin booooored

Easy answer to any sort of these issues: Don't install upgrades without wiping.
