CMIIW but the amperage is decided by ho much the phone pulls. So it using it with a 2.1 A will not help as the regular charge amount is ~1A
Correct. My phone has a custom kernel that allows 2A IIRC.

Sometimes I forget they don't come like that with stock :P

It says it in the screenshot!

That's the server being used, not the location of the device.

First of all please turn off that annoying tapatalk signature.

Sweet!!!! 29mbps+ is impressive! I'd be afraid of those speeds with a data cap (and overage charges), it could get out of hand very quickly...

The GNex has custom warning settings when you pass data thresholds you set and you can see how much data any app is using and block any apps from using data.
Even at those speeds 2GB is fine if you take it easy on the streaming.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

FYI at the rate of  29 Mbps you would use up 2GB in 9.41 min (or 564 seconds) of usage 8)

Considering I use data quite heavily (tethering, streaming Amazon MP3, etc) and over the last 30 days have only used 1.65GB I would say that's some funny math.

The math is right it just doesn't "add" up!  :P Simple answer is that your not consistently streaming at 29 Mbps.
For the record here's the math: 2Gb=16384 Megabits / 29= 564.96 / 60 = 9.41  8)

Deff true. Most streams yoo wont get close to that speed.

@Dan - were you getting speeds of file downloading of 29Mbps? I have Verizon Fios in my house and I only get 15Mbps

For Bionic:  Screen grabber from the market works even though the description says it requires root. Under advanced settings, uncheck root required and it works fine on stock bionic

The irony is that all of these screenshots with insane speeds still show high latency (ping). How do you guys fare when video-chatting?

What does the ping result have to do with video call quality? Also I was always wondering if there is a way to measure the quality of the video call while video-chatting to get real-time results. Obviously a myriad of variables must be factored in like:
1) Camera quality
2) Processor speed & power
3) Screen pixel quality
4) Data speed
5) 1,2,3 & 4 of the other parties phone/computer
did I miss anything?

1 & 3 affect quality whereas 2, 4 and ping all affect how much of a delay there will be.

Delay = bad quality in my book.

To clarify, when I say bad quality I don't mean unclear video, I mean bad overall video-calling experience.

I have had the same experience with skype on my phone as i do on my netbook at home. I have had some issues with gmail video chating to a computer but I think that is an issue with ICS or just my nexus...
