I’m still on the GNex and just cracked my screen a little bit (oops). I’m seriously disappointed that I can’t get the Nexus 4 on VZW. Reading online, the Nexus 5 is out and it’s the same thing… not available for VZW. Is there any other phone on VZW that I should even care about? I like to root and mod… is the Galaxy S4 worth it? :-/ I don’t want a huge screen like the Note 3… any recommendations? ---

Sorry, it runs 2.2.3 Native.

The Droid had been publicized under the codenames Sholes and Tao and the model number A855.

So I have S3 and ever since the software updated to 4.1 I’ve had a lot of issues with google maps working like shit. If you’re on the highway it thinks your always on a paralleling road, or when you’re in a neighborhood it thinks your in a backyard or another side street. It’s very annoying and has gotten to the point that it’s unusable. DO you guys think this is a software issue or and issue with my phone? Should I just warranty it or do you think a custom rom would fix it? I’ve tried factory resets, clearing caches and a bunch of other things I found via google searching but nothing has worked, ---

I’ve tried factory resets, clearing caches and a bunch of other things I found via google searching but nothing has worked, My Galaxy Nexus does the same thing with the Google Maps. It only happened when Google updated their software, so I’m going to guess that’s software related. I can’t remember the last time I saw it. I switched to a different ROM and updated my radios and kernel, too. Could be worth a shot to try a new ROM… ---

Get the Nokia one from AT&T. Easy to transport. Also some of them making beep noises that you can’t turn off when you take the phone on and off the charger. Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk ---
