I'm having probem disabling Google voice typing. Every time I uncheck it, it will go back to check after some time (or maybe something I did). Thisis on a factory jelly bean image. Never had this problem with ICS

I like PA's Phablet. Works nicely for me.

What's the advantage of Phablet mode for PA?

I just use regular phone hybrid mode and just adjust the DPI of a few apps. I agree, tablet mode on phone is not really usable/useful.

Speaking of Chrome, does anyone else prefer using the stock JB browser instead? I find it renders pages faster, has way smoother panning, zooming, and scrolling than chrome. Aside from the syncing, does chrome actually do anything better?

Hmm interesting..
I remember using Bigxie's deodexed rom when it was first released as well and I don't remember it being bundled with Chrome.

Mind you a lot of that could be attributed to crappy software.

In addition to the LG there's probably gonna be an HTC Incredible X Nexus and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2.

Would definitely not disapprove.


I am, however, mildly disappointed/annoyed at the fact that more companies are moving to non-removable batteries.

stock was okay...but i want sync capabilities
tried firefox...was buggy...especially with hotmail...but then again hotmail was pretty buggy before on my pc's firefox

chrome is good

I do like how the stock browser closes the search tabs ie. i find something on google search..it opens the browser...when i hit back or sleep it goes away..but on firefox/chrome the tabs stay there and i would've to close it manually..i haven't looked into if there was a setting to disable that

And it'll be interesting to see which phones actually make it out to launch. I'm really excited and looking forward to the announcements.

I dislike this as well. Everyone I tell this to always goes "Who cares! It's not like you take out your battery often anyways."

The fact is that some batteries CAN be defective. If you've got a defective battery its not as simple as swapping it for a new one.

Side note: If anyone is looking for an awesome rom, check out the new liquid smooth release for Gnex. Been using it for a week now with franco milestone 5 and I honestly think this is the perfect rom. Stable, fast, great battery life, tons of customization. Best of all: Everything works flawlessly. With other roms there will always be little bugs here and there but I havent encountered any force closes or hiccups.

But if it's a non removable battery then you still are unable to go buy a new battery without sending it in somewhere.

I'd rather have a regular battery that can be swapped by me instead of one that has 300 more cycles available before it dies.

Besides, I'm pretty sure many of us here sell our phones off before needing a new battery

what's with this thing ?
more information please

ROM? (custom or stock? I've had GPS lock issues with some custom ROMs myself)

GPS Status fixes? (gpsstatus app)

on xda developers under Gnexus there's a GPS lock fix thread with suggestions, i'd suggest looking at that as well.
