My google Nexus One stopped responding to the power button last week. The charging LED was red all the time, and for a couple of days the screen did not display properly. Why?

me:  baby shorted out the nexus one
    with drool
Lucas:  that's a lame superpower
me:  super effective against electronic equipment
Lucas:  yeah but imaigne the adult version

Luckily I qualify for the promotional upgrade to the Galaxy Nexus (for a small fee plus a 3-year extension to the contract). It’s shiny, I love the Ice Cream Sandwich, but the whole thing is on the big side.

A bit of a quirk, too — when I first turned on the phone, it had data reception but no connection. Upon closer inspection, I found that it was connected to the chatr APN and not Rogers. Not sure if the network provider auto-filled the settings or if someone at the store (London Drugs) had played with the settings.
