When you update it also overwrites the APK. So reinstalling apps via Play store would be the same as this. Also saves time and precious data (if on a capped plan). Also I have ~ 400MB of apps installed on the 2GB internal of my Rez. Noticed it takes half the time to go through them all and install from SD card. Will start using the Windows app though as coming acrossed USB is 3x faster.

Looks like that does it. No more wifi problems and I get my apps back after doing a reset. Now though it begs the question: why did a problem appear in the first place???

"Restoration" of data from a different/older rom. It can potentially cause any kind of issue. If you're on the same base of firmware. Restoring data for the apps will be fine.

Not sure what else you can do. Maybe flash a proven stable ginger rom....

Looks like it's just one app that causes the problem. Uninstalled it first, and THEN backed up those remaining, did a factory reset, restored the backed up apps and then the problem's gone.

Just got a Samsung galaxy nexus with android 4, it is amazing. It has a 4.7 inch 1280x720 OLED screen that I cannot say enough good things about. OLED is the future for monitors and TVs. Period. Phone also has 16gb storage, from what I can tell, a fast processor (much smoother motions than my old iPhone 4) and Im with telstra (best/most expensive carrier here in oz), and its only $60 per month! As a comparison the iPhone 4 is $80 per month with the same carrier, and there is just no comparison between that and this. Makes the iPhone 4 look like an ancient brick with a puny screen.

One annoyance though, I had to download an app to be able to set my ringtone as one of my songs, apparently you can only choose the default ringtones. App is called Tone Picker for anyone else with this issue.

i hate using songs as ringtones. for a few reasons but mostly:

a) work
b) it makes me hate the songs. When i hear that little 10s clip 50 times a day, I start to skip the song when it plays and get sick of hearing it. I don't want to do that to my favorite songs so I just use the tones. I like the sonar type ones

My phone's always on silent. Vibrate mode is turned off when at home (since it's just in front of me, like right now), and turned on when I'm not at home (since it would be in my pocket).

That would be the case if i received lots of calls but no one likes talking to me.

Plus I choose a song with a really good intro that I will always love... but I'm just a bit more passionate about music than most people so I dunno.

heres my current ringtone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKyl2Xs3GxM

Can one ever get sick of that intro?

there is nothing worse than a person with a song as a ringtone for receiving a text message.
