You are lucky to see it in person. What pisses me off is that Verizon is an asshole company. Google Wallet will not be usable on the Galaxy Nexus for Verizon because Verizon wants to implement Issu? Their own version of it. <-- Stupid....oh well, hope CM9 makes it usable..I will not let Verizon keep track of my transactions My main reason for getting a Galaxy Nexus was because of the NFC via Google Wallet mobile payments. Google needs to punch Verizon in the face for this~ I use Simeji keyboard. Its a little better when typing english on it compared to stock Gingerbread keyboard on CM7. Although, ICS has international languages built into its single keyboard and converts when needed... :) Quote:
I have an HTC Incredible. PK, try out the latest versions of ICS, its really good aside from the random reboot every 60 mins or so. They are daily drivers. No GPS, camera, and a few other things, but def can browse web, download from market, use gallery (on and off), and one more thing..which i forget. I agree with your iOS vs Android comment. |

Yes I messed with the min/max settings, brightness was all the way low (0%), and I ran Cyanogen. |

kidding!! Well, you're in the right thread on here. Some of the members here are very knowledgeable about Android, ROMs, hardware and all things android. here are a few links to get you started: XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/ (huge forums for Q's about all android phones, ROMs, etc.) http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ Cyanogen Mod is the most widely used ROM for those phones. You can follow them on facebook, Google+ as well. There are others who cover all things android: http://www.androidcentral.com/ http://www.androidpolice.com/ I don't keep up with them all, but those should get you started. You can also go on Google + and #android Google + is brilliant for stuff like that Hope that'll get you started |

Oh, I didn't charge my phone last night after a full day of use on my iPhone.. so about 36 hours now.. I'm at 85%.. And I read that the new iPhone's have worse battery life then the iPhone 4, hence the reason I went with the older model. |

something else I can add, although it's too late for some (we will miss you Ryan lol)
on some androids like htc phones, you can change the radio software (the software that allows for communication/signal for data and voice). ::read:: baseband version in settings/about phone/more info I changed mine ( sometimes it is actually changed with over the air updates on your phone, hence why they say back up your stuff on the phone) the radio can help increase/decrease battery life as it determines where and which signal you get.... also other things to do include: -keeping caches cleared out of apps -turning off background data (usually only google apps need this running when you open them i.e. the market) unless you have to constantly have your phone syncing you can tell it to manually let you sync data which believe me, works in the batteries favor or set it to mimimal auto sync rate -if you know for a fact the area you will be in only gets a certain data speed, you can tell the phone (rooted or stock) to use only a certain speed (edge, 2g 3g, 4g, lte) just find the setting on your phone that deals with connectivity and data ///otherwise the phone will constantly search for a better signal (only tell tale sign to you will be freefalling battery levels and data icon constantly changing. -turn off your wifi (it will constantly be searching as in above post) -you can also turn off g.p.s as it isn't necessary unless an app specifies it when you open it -contrary to popular belief keeping the phone plugged in or charging on and off throughout the day is actually fine and won't cause the battery to develop a memory you don't have to run the battery down unless you want too... -I set my phone to auto brightness or minimal brightness -I do not use any haptic feedback or vibration except for calls and messages -task killers and or battery apps (essentially the same thing anymore) are up to you, there is no right answer for this, some apps are battery vampires, others close when you tell them to close one app I can reccommend that pretty much covers all these bases for you is called "llama" it uses a-gps (tower to phone locations) and maps where you are and you tell it when and what you want to the phone to be doing (i.e you're at home and only want wifi turned on and vibration mode on the phone [or you're at work from x-o'clock to y-o'clock and need medium ringtone, 4g data and wifi tethering for your other devices and your navigation app opened]) @Shinare: To be completely honest I don't think sprint's plan will be offered anymore here soon...>>>LINK<<< & >>>LINK<<< I do think you made the correct choice, however, as discounts and your phone choices and signal reception should be a non-issue.
