Is anybody having trouble connecting data on Fido?
My network says 3g/HSPA but doesn't connect data. It's grey bars btw.

Everything is fine until data won't work...
I had this phone for about 5 months and this happened.
I already paid off my monthly bill.

Weird. I'm on Fido and no problems here with the Nexus.
Unless Fido did something to your account (?) Try sim in another phone?

Maybe your maps froze in a open state .... restart your phone to close all the apps

yea that's the problem I constantly have as well, at least once or twice a day, it drives me nuts... full signal bars with 3G symbol but bars are grey and I don't have those up/down arrows. I have to restart my phone every time to get them to go blue again and get the up/down arrows working and my data comes back on.
Check a few pages back someone posted a potential fix for that I have thanked his post, you should see it there. I haven't done the fix yet myself, but the other thing I was told by Wind staff is to call the Wind centre and have them input just like Mikroft said, a few lines of APN settings that should resolve the issue.
So the other week I was trying to use some app from my phone right, I'm not 100% sure which one it was I think it was Notepad or some other connection irrelevant app that should have absolutely no need to connect to anything to work.... but in any case, I remember specifically because it blew my mind when it said it would not start because it couldn't establish a connection to Google, I thought Apple was bad....
Passing this phone onto my little bro, but my next Android I am definitely having my friend root the shit out of it, so I can have full control of my device.

CNA + Trinity seems to be my holy grail for things. (Fixed my screen off, wifi/3g drop restart issue)
Im still giving it a month till I decide to update from 4.1.1 though.

Both the keyboard and camera from 4.2 have been leaked and are available for download from xda. Keyboard is still not the final version but seems to work Ok. Still like swift key more personally.
Camera interface is nicer. Posted via RS Mobile |

I had an issue with the camera.. It drained my battery and made my phone hot. Just removed for now. I'm ordering the Nexus 4 anyways so it'll come soon enough hahah.

So I just got my Nexus.. rooted it and installed 4.1.2
Hate the launcher
So what's a good one? I used to use LauncherPro, and even have a license, but I don't know if they have been maintaining it...
Edit: Just saw that it hasn't been updated since May 2011 |

Edit: Just saw that it hasn't been updated since May 2011 | I guess it would depend on why you dislike the stock launcher.
I'm using nova launcher and it's considered one of the best.
I'm more surprised you're not looking for a different kernel. The stock colors are terrible with the gnex. Posted via RS Mobile |

I am just starting with stock for now, I'll play around with something else later. What are some recommended roms? Not Cyanogen though, I never had good luck with that.

Cyanogenmod10 is actually really good on the nexus and a lot of other roms use their enhancements.
Paranoidandroid is my preferred because it's the only one that is not affected by the stupid multi task/screen sensitivity lag problem. It's cm based though.
Aokp is popular but is more bloated now.
CNA and liquid are fast and feature filled. Rasbean is apparently very fast too. Posted via RS Mobile |

Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher are my preferences.
I also use Paranoid Android in phone mode.
Other good ROMs would be: LiquidSmooth, AOKP, Slimbean.

I'm running paranoid with nova and I love it. phablet/tablet mode for everything, it's great. Best way to use all the screen's real estate I've found.

Will check out some of the roms mentioned.
