What's this ROM city you speak of?
52% of the country is unlocked. That's a market that's been dominated by carriers. Let's take some of that market. I call it "ROM City."
It's, like, "Hey, you want to tether" "Yeah, I don't have carrier restrictions" I call it "ROM City."
How do we filter out those below 4.0? We don't let them in. This goes for the guys, too. Because sometimes the guys are tapped out. But check your lease, man. Because you're living in Fuck City!

A lot of apps I use have the overflow Menu bar. Even Google Play has it to access My Apps. Once the dev figures this out, I'm back in. Until then. Someone keep me updated.

AGAIN Copernicus? C'MON SON!
Probably means we'll get good AOSP ROMs quicker than usual. It won't be any safer than flashing any other ROM, though.
Impossible to predict what Verizon will do. They probably won't get an update out fast.

You stole my fricking joke!! >:|
Isn't the main issue with verizon's slow updates that everyone has to wait for them for the radio updates? I'd assume 4.1 functions identically on both versions aside from that.
on the bright side, the boards will be free of WP launcher...until his return

AOSP drops for Fatty Tuna and the first JB stock builds appear the same day. I love this phone.

yeah, after days in ROM-Nightmare-City I installed the AOSP rom and couldn't be happier so far. GSM Tuna here.
Hmm.. I haven't used my new Galaxy Nexus for some days, primarily because, I find the keyboard, BiteSMS and size of my iPhone 4 to be better for me. I'll try exchange the SIM cards and use the Nexus as my primary for the rest of the week - I just have to install that screen protector ugh.
You will continually think about all the things the iPhone does better until you put it away and use the nexus for a week or two without going back. It's not easy to really understand the ins and outs of a platform and device if you just toy with it.
Maybe you'll find the iPhone works better for you at the end, but you might as well try since you have a nexus.

My Bose MIE2i works flawlessly. I know Bose gets a bad rap but hey...
edit: sorry, volume doesn't actually work, at least not in JB.
there are BiteSMS equivalents on Android (even before taking into account the nifty notification improvements in Jelly Bean) and there are much better keyboards you can install. I guess you're under no pressure to look for them since you can just pop the sim out anything you think something is missing... take a leap and sell the iPhone
Yeah, that's basically what I said. I have now exchanged the SIM cards and installed a screen protector which I am not impressed by unfortunately. I am now looking to use my Galaxy Nexus outside as well.
I tried SwiftKey3 and didn't like it but I guess I'll get used to the stock keyboard.there are BiteSMS equivalents on Android (even before taking into account the nifty notification improvements in Jelly Bean) and there are much better keyboards you can install.

I have had the BiteSMS equal-ant installed on my Nexus since the first day but I'm not impressed. I don't know how to make it so, that I can press the volume button and then click the screen to make a Quick Compose - I think it's lacking that feature on Android.
Add to that, that all the RSS apps are a chore, and seeing that SMS and RSS are the two most important features of my iPhone, it'll get hard to adjust to my Galaxy Nexus but I'm definitely not giving up on it - now I'll bring it with me outside as well.

how long did you use Swiftkey for?
To be fair, not counting features, the iPhone keyboard is pretty freaking brilliant. I think the spacing and sticky logic help a LOT.

Finally someone with sense.
My bad!
Not really, especially on more recent iOS firmwares where Apple gimped the prediction logic a bit—there have been complaints in the Apple threads. On Android I prefer Swype (for small screens) and A.I. Type (for larger screens) to Apple's iPhone keyboard.
Which BiteSMS equal-ant did you try? Quickcompose is missing you say
Does that look familiar? It's actually from chompSMS on Android, not bitesms
My point is: Reeder is not preinstalled on iPhones. BiteSMS is not a native capability of the iPhone. You have to jailbreak, search around, test a couple of alternatives, search the communities (or Gaf threads) before you found that. That knowledge didn't just fall into your lap a few days after buying your first iPhone. Don't get me wrong; there is a clear advantage to having intimidate knowledge and experience with one platform over another and that's a good enough reason to stick with your iPhone. Just don't assume another platform can't do something, or does it wrong, just because it's not exactly
like the way you've become used to.

ICS keyboard is just as good and I hear JB is an improvement over ICS.
I still prefer the spacing of the ios one.
If I could increase the height of the JB keyboard just a tad, and bring the keys in towards the center just a hair more, it would be perfect for me.
As it is, I make more mistakes with it when typing
words that require letters on the very edge of it.
And grey, I'll give that keyboard a shot.
For anyone using JB: if you go into the Dialer settings, there is an option at the bottom for "Use Internet calling." The options are:
-For all calls when data network is available
-Only for Internet calls (this is selected by default)
-Ask for each call
Any idea what this option is for? It seems like it would be for built-in VOIP, but I would think it would have to be tied to some kind of app or service.

Yeah. If you have a Google voice number, you can use it for data calls.

Hmm, I noticed the Samsung Nexus is 50 dollar for a re-up on amazon wireless with a renewal on a family plan contract. now I just need to figure out exactly what kind of data they need from me/my wife (she's the plan head since she gets a discount through her job), as my info/pin is just throwing errors.
Man, that's crazy...Just dropped $149 on it last month to get my wife upgraded before the new share plans went into effect on Verizon. Oh well, that is a great deal!
Whaaaaat?! Really? I wonder why Googling "jelly bean internet calling" didn't yield anything that seemed relevant. (My search was admittedly somewhat cursory.)

You have to use a third party app like GrooveIP or Talkatone.
Hmmm playing around with it a bit... it doesn't seem to be what I thought. Now, something like talkatone or grooveip, this will let you do what I said earlier.

to be fair, SwiftKey 3 is amazing and only gets better as you use it.
I would have to agree with the others. While the ICS keyboard is pretty good, I don't know what it is about iOS, but I consistently make errors that I never did with any of my iPhone's, specifically when texting quickly. It's weird because I have large hands, and always felt the iPhone's keyboard was too tiny, but pretty much never made mistakes.
Another reason for the supremacy of iOS keyboard is the fact that in landscape mode, Android's keyboard takes up the whole screen which is incredibly annoying. Is it a patent Apple has?
2 days I guess but I like the stock Jelly Bean keyboard more, also design wise.
By the way, I had my Nexus out with me for the first time and it was cool it told me, that it would take me 5 minutes (even though it would take me 20 minutes) to get home from the mall I were at, and that it said traffic were light at 2 specific street. But still, it were way off the mark with how many minutes it would take me to get home. Why is that?
So far I disagree with the iPhone keyboard not being better, it's magnificent and always guess the right words for me.Not really, especially on more recent iOS firmwares where Apple gimped the prediction logic a bit—there have been complaints in the Apple threads. On Android I prefer Swype (for small screens) and A.I. Type (for larger screens) to Apple's iPhone keyboard.

Anyway, I can't see your picture? And I'm using ChompSMS, it looks great, but I just don't know how to use Quick Compose by holding in the Camera or Search button, where are those? =/
And I never ever said Galaxy Nexus did anything wrong, you're misunderstanding me here. It's just, there's no RSS app that's as great as Reeder on iOS. There's always more button presses on the RSS apps I have tried on Android compared to Reeder on iOS.
PS: I love my Galaxy Nexus and Android, but RSS and SMS keeps being troublesome for me on my Android device... so far. By the way, SMS'ing from my MacBook Air through the Galaxy Nexus is awesome.
Had to replace my first Nexus due to a wifi issue and had the replacement for about a week now. For some reason over the last 2 days my battery life(have the extended) has dramatically dropped. Today for example I took it off the charger at 100% and 3 hours later I'm at 57%. My stay awake is at 2 hours and 54 minutes so something is running and won't time out. I checked Facebook once and sent about 10 texts during the 3 hours.
Is there a good way to pinpoint which app is to blame? I've checked my running apps and nothing seems out of the norm.

ever since I upgraded to JB swiftkeys text prediction has just absolutely blown. All my settings are the same, but it's not even correcting the simplest of mistakes (one letter off, e.g.) Any else have this?
EDIT: Checked the swiftkey forums and I'm definitely not alone. I made a bug here: http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/...-word-prediction-markedly-worse-in-jelly-bean if anyone else has similar issues.

Good idea but I'd wait until the Fall if I were you and don't mind spending a bit more. There's also the GS3 if you like.

I downloaded CPU spy but the only thing I can tell is that my phone wasn't going into deep sleep. So I found an app that seemed to be the problem. But what does the 1200, 700, and the 350 MHz represent? Not really sure what that's supposed to tell me. 700 MHz is 60% of the last hour and 15 minutes.

The speed at which your cpu is running.
Ah OK cool. Thanks.
