HBOGO is now avialable for ICS and the Galaxy Nexus for those that have been waiting for it like I have. I can now watch, Game of Thrones in class!

FINALLY! Thanks for the update.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

Was supposed to be picking up my EVO 4G LTE tomorrow but nooooo. It and the One X for is getting held up in customs. ****ing Apple and their patent BS. Why wasn't this dealt with way before release date?

sux for grandfathered in Verizon customers, Verizon is like the Devil. No more unlimited plans if you upgrade to 4g from 3g.

It's why I hope Google goes through with its plan to sell their phones directly through their Play site.

Add to that the fact that 5 1/2 months later Verizon STILL has not released an update for the "Nexus". Such bull****.

Question is will Google sell CDMA devices and if Sprint and Verizon will allow them to run on their networks.

I'm really thinking about going back to to T-Mobile and an unlocked phone.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

I've got a few "relic" CDMA phones from my time with T-mobile. I remember taking my pebble to Australia with me. Didn't even have to pay that much extra for the calls I made down there. I love CDMA but, T-mobile service was so ****ty back then I had to switch to Verizon.

Finally gave up on using Face Unlock...It's a neat idea, but was way too slow if I was in a darker area, and just wasn't perfect enough in recognizing me.

I kept adding photos at different times/locations to make it better, but just wasn't great for me.

Was really annoying in the dark to have to wait for it to realize it's dark and let me type a code. Now I can unlock pretty instantly with a swipe.

I have T-mobile, living in a heavily populated area, it does its job.

I save money, have a great phone and good service!

when you say save money, what do you mean, what plan do you have?


The HTC evo 4G LTE looks awesome though. To bad the LTE is not available yet.

T-Mobile has good coverage where I live. Also, the only other GSM carrier in the States is ATT. Eff going to ATT.

Anyone have a Razr Maxx? About time for me to update my old phone and have been casually looking. Any pros/cons from you guys?

I have the nexus, but this site does really good android phone reviews. The link is to their MAXX review.

I've read some reviews and haven't found many negatives minus the older software which should be getting upgraded sometime in June I hear.

How are you liking the nexus? Its already got the ics software right? The main thing pushing me towards the Razr maxx is it's battery. With 4G lte really straining a battery, it'll be nice not worrying about finding a charger at some point during the day.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

I got the extended batter for the Nexus and I haven't had any issues with battery life. It isn't as big as the battery in the Maxx, so while for me it will make it all day, some on wifi, some on the 4G network, it doesn't always have a lot of juice left when I get home after 8-10 hours off the charger. That said, with the extended battery I can make it all day. The best thing about the Nexus extended battery IMO is that the phone still looks slick. Which is really nice, since it is such a slick looking phone to begin with.
