    An ACTUAL screen problem

    My Pixel XL 2 arrived last night. The screen has a persistent gray band across it, as well as a little bump at the right edge of the band. When it goes into or out of ambient mode, you can see the little bump at the border pulse for a brief moment. So pissed. It appeared immediately during...

    Help Purchased Pixel from Google, but it has Verizon bloatware and no WifI hotspot on the phone

    I purchased a Pixel XL for myself and a Pixel for my wife, both directly from the Google Store online. Our carrier is Verizon. Our phones arrived today and we inserted our SIM cards and transferred data from our old phones (in my case, a Moto X Pure Edition, her old phone an S5). I did the...

    Help Unbelievably crappy luck = cracked glass

    Section 1 (optional reading): The Vent Ordered an Otterbox for my GNex last week; it arrived two days ago; I cracked my glass last night before I had a chance to put on the case. It's a little frustrating because it was such a short fall. I had my phone in my left hip pocket and as I sat...

    Help Weather app temperature notification in task bar

    Has anyone found a weather app that is stable with respect to the temperature notification in the task bar? I've tested several and in all cases, the notification runs fine initially, but it eventually goes away and does not reappear unless I run the app. Stock GNex.

    Help Camera not responding/cannot connect to camera

    I'm running into this error with increasing frequency. I did some Googling and the closest solution I could find in various forums is that there may be another app that utilizes the camera which is interfering. I haven't be able to identify such an app on my stock Galaxy Nexus, however. Has...

    Here's a brief review of my initial impressions of the Boxwave ClearTouch

    Month view calendar widget similar to Sense calendar

    This may appeal only to a niche few, but I was a big fan of the HTC Sense Calendar widget on my previous Android phones and it is one of the few things I miss in transitioning to the GNex. In particular, I liked the fact that that widget could be set to appear in month view as a widget (not...

    Help Phone coma?

    I ran into a new bug today and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered it. I plugged my GNex into the charger last night before bed and my phone was still on at the time with a partial charge. I set my alarm on the phone as usual and went to sleep. This morning I woke up late and...

    City ID = Mystery $1.99 charge on my bill

    I noticed a charge for $1.99 on my Verizon bill today that had no explanation except "data," which made no sense. I looked back through my past bills and sure enough, the charge was there in April, May, and June, associated with my Thunderbolt, which I purchased in March. Not a coincidence...

    Help Anyone else having difficulty with GPS?

    At least I think it's a GPS issue. When I open the Google Maps app on my Thunderbolt, it pinpoints my location to -- at best -- 2400 meters. When I do the same thing on my Incredible side-by-side, it pinpoints me to within about 3-8 meters. In both cases the little GPS icon in the notification...

    Help Screen Mode Widget Lite + Alarm clock + TB = fail

    This is a bit obscure, but I ran into my first bug this morning with my new TBolt. Keep in mind that I am coming to the Tbolt from the Incredible and I am using essentially identical applications from one to the next. I use Screen Mode Widget Lite (hereafter SMWL) to disable the screen lock...

    Help Slow charging through USB?

    I drained my TB down to zero not long after getting it today (installations, sync, etc.) and I currently have had it connected to my PC via USB for several hours. Charging seems to be incredibly slow -- I am only at 50% at the moment. It is set at "charge only" in the USB settings...

    EVO:EVO Shift :: Thunderbolt:Future Phone?

    I was reading today about the HTC EVO Shift 4G on Sprint and I didn't realize until now that it is a new phone, essentially a smaller version of the EVO. I'm a little behind, because as a Verizon customer/Incredible owner, I don't really follow what HTC is doing with Sprint. When you consider...

    Want the speed, not sure about the size

    I have a 4G Verizon USB modem (by LG) and I am getting insanely good 4G speeds here in NE Ohio -- significantly faster than my Time Warner "turbo" home cable Internet connection, even on its best days. I would love to have a phone with that kind of speed in my hand. But on that subject -- the...

    Safest way to wipe Android phone before selling?

    I pre-ordered an Incredible and I plan to sell my Eris. I scanned through some posts and I see that there have been just a couple of short responses to this question in other forums, so I will ask the question here in the hope that it is useful to others. Question: for safety/privacy, is it...
