Best keyboard case for note 10.1. price not a huge factor. Will rep

[jinda628]

samsung such a master race for the sheer fact that it has so much support from the average joe coders making all these roms.


got the 1st version galaxy s3 and could easily get 4.3 right now but I have bugs and random reboots. Chit will be stable in a month or so.

Ye I tested like 2 4.3s and I'm getting random reboots on Note 2 as well. I am testing Paranoid Android 4.3 now posted by one of our brahs here. So far its stable. Kinda same with the one I'm using for a long time, Rootbox 4.2.2. Its from the same dev so check it out maybe they have one for S3.

Ordered a Nexus 7 (2013) last week. Was tired of waiting for the LTE version to be released. Still somewhat regretting that. But when it gets here I am sure that I won't mind.

I dont see the point of lte nexus 7 if you already have a smart phone you can tether

Depends how much you use it. Tethering chews up so much battery it can be prohibitive to do so.
Also many carriers put restrictions on tethering not to mention limited data per month.

LOL. Missed it by a few days.

That was kind of my thinking in all of this. I have the tether option on my phone. I also have a mobile broadband device if I were to need it.

Probably not straight up. He's likely getting trade in value and paying the rest. Why don't you ask him?

[Dachampknown]

It's been a week and a half with no phone after breaking my iphone 4.... I'm leaving work today to grab one, note 2 or s4??? Which would you get???

you can carry a small battery bank that is like $30 which is alot cheaper then setting up a new monthly data plan.

s4. better screen/camera/performance . unless you really need a big screen and stylus. if you can wait then get note 3 as its a beast.

He might think it is part of the Jump! program. You have to wait 6 months after you signed up for the Jump! program to do a trade in, so he likely won't be able to do so until Christmas. I see no way he can do it in October.

Jump program is like 12 bucks a month (includes insurance) and you can trade in your phone every 6 months. When you buy a new phone you pay the deposit ($200 for a high end phone) and then pay 20 bucks a month until it is paid off. With Jump! you can buy a new phone when your 6 months is up. You pay the new deposit ($200), Tmobile forgives the rest of the payment plan of your old phone and you start a new payment program for your new phone.

It's not the best deal IMO, would be cheaper to just sell your phone on ebay and buy a new phone outright

Plan - $60 per month (2gb data)
Jump! - $12 per month
Phone Payment - $20 per month

so total of $92 per month plus $200 bucks every 6 months for your new phone

Is there any way to get stock Android on a Verizon s4 or HTC One? Preferably the s4. This doesn't work anymore: http://pocketnow.com/2013/07/15/veri...google-edition

[TheMarshall]

Finally got around to buying the (two pack) 3000 mah zero lemon s4 battery since it was down to $20 on amazon. I do wonder though do batteries lose their charge over time. If I left it in my backpack or car would it over time lose charge? I read somewhere it does. And is it safe to keep in my glovebox if it's going to be hot, or even cold outside, or does it need to be left in fair temperatures?

What doesn't work. Unlocking the bootloader, flashing the rom? If you've got an unlocked bootloader already you can just flash a different rom.

[Krispy1]

I am pretty sure verizon did an update that re locked bootloaders and its using different encryption. there a bounty out there for devs who can do it.

I had 140,000 coins on Temple run 2 and had my phone plugged into my pc to charge and played the game but after removing it now I'm down to 25,000. wut do?

plugging in the phone to computer in no way could have done that. it could be a glitch in temple run but most likely this is something they do to people on purpose to make them spend $ to buy the coins.

[shredu]

Think they will bring out a nexus 10 (2013)?

[Realomegablaze]

Think they will bring out a nexus 10 (2013)?

Can't say.. I wouldn't be looking forward to it..

The Nexus 7 HD camera is TRASH.

The Build quality and having AOSP Android is always good with the Nexus tho.

Camera performance on a tablet hardly matters IMO.
Nexus 7 is the best small form factor tablet you can get right now for the price.

[Clockwork123]

Sup droid brah's.. I want to pull a prank on one of my buddies...I remember back in the day Android had apps like " prank dial" where it was an app that you got to change your number and voice and call the person and mess with them.

Also.. I am trying to find an app identical to text bomb apps where the app sends like 100 texts to some one in under one minute.. I would greatly appreciate the help If anyone could help me out by finding a text bomb app . Will rep for life!!

[LGeX]

Think they will bring out a nexus 10 (2013)?

Yup. Whenever the Nexus 5 is announced. Still don't understand why Google doesn't host one big event and release all three (Nexus 5, 7, 10) instead of the staggered Summer-Fall system in place currently.

Unlocking the bootloader.

I see your point, but I would love to have a good camera on my tablet. I use a couple of apps to video my sons in baseball. I analyze their swing and throwing mechanics. A poor camera makes this task a bit hard.

[TheMarshall]

Unlocking the bootloader.

What build number are you on?

[blip63]

What build number are you on?

I don't have one yet. I'm buying if I can find a way to load stock(or close to stock) Android on it.

Received my Nexus 7 a couple of days ago. Rooted it yesterday. Still wishing that I had the 4G version.
