How do i add pages to Nexus?

I think it's the curve of the phone that makes it fragile. A flat phone that fell screen first will most probably spread the impact out the entire screen size.

With a curved screen, probably the impact did not spread itself out causing it to be concentrated on the edges. Or in other events, impact moves to the curve.

Just my two cents.

That's assuming if the phone without the curved screen falls
1) face down
2) exactly perpendicular to the ground and....
3) Hits the ground exactly straight with zero deviation and...
4) floor is completely flat without any form of protrusion in the landing zone.

Otherwise I don't see how a flat screen has any advantage over a curved screen if both are gonna have their point of impacts anywhere besides the perfect scenario as above.

All phone have equal chances of cracking the screen once drop..The problem lies with the area/angle in which the phone hits the ground..

How come mobile phones made 10yrs ago seems more durable

How come mobile phones made 10yrs ago seems more durable

because they didn't have glass screens that cover the entire phone?

Phone OS itself will also lock up a portion of ram. What u see is what remains.

Agree. Most people have trouble remembering phone numbers and appointments.

As an alternative to adding pages, you can drag the icons on top of another to form groups so you don't take up so much space.

I put all my games in 1 group or else they will take up 2 pages.

Hey, anyone has this problem of mms being unable to send? I am a star hub user. Every tine I try to send a mms, I immediately lose network and the phone will start to re connect to it immediately, but the mms will still not be sent.. I never check when will the mms be sent but the next day when I check back the mms status, it appears as sent. I have tried sending mms with goSMS and the stock messeaging app. Both cannot send.

I rooted my phone but this problem occurred even before I rooted my phone.I have not flashed any custom roms yet cause I want to try out the 'original' build first. Anyone have same problem as me? Is this a phone problem or star hub problem?

Battery life

How is the battery life for Galaxy Nexus?
Am thinking whether I should get the OEM 2000mAh battery or the 3800mAh Seido one.
I am medium to heavy user and I want to get at least 15-18hrs of usage per charge out of it.

the Seido one can be used on the GSM model? I went to see and it was only for the LTE model. Seriously, how do i tell the difference between the GSM and the LTE galaxy nexus?

Anyone can help answer the following? I noticed a few differences on Android 4.0 which didn't seem to be the same as on the one demoed during the launch, mainly, the People App.

1. Does anyone know how to set so that the "Starred" contacts are in the tiled form with just their images on the front tile like the Gallery App? Mine is a list like the regular contacts section.

2. I noticed in the demo, the images are in high res, all my images on the GNex are low res, so when I make a phone call, the image splashed across the screen is low res and pixelated, not high res. FYI for the contact images, I had them uploaded via google contacts on my laptop, not via my phone, is that the reason why it's not stored as high quality?
