Yeah. Need to use a VPN to access the store and you need an international credit card to order

So if I were to change the billing address to that of my skybox on my credit card, will that be enough? Also, any recommendations for a proven working VPN that I can use for free?

Initially you can use hotspot shield (free version) to access the play store via your web browser.

I am not sure if you will be able to purchase anything without setting up your Google wallet account (you can use your skybox address).....this is a bit of problem because google has to verify your identity before allowing u to use our wallet account to make purchases......right now i cant use mine cuz they want a US ID card and social sec. number from me


once u connect to google play (via VPN) activate Google music and any other services u want.....after that u wont need to use a VPN to access the US play store via browser.

US ID card and social security??? Is that a problem unique to you, or is that something that they're asking everyone for now?

Which 1 d vibe z2 pro. ...

[M_2NR]

Padna of mine upgraded from a z1 to a z3. night and day yes. He getting an average of 6-7hrs SOT with mixed usage. Plus for a phone that is 152g it doesn't feel like it. It feels iPhone-esque. And the stereo speakers are not half as bad as what reviewers make it out to be.

But its just a few steps behind the nexus. Id rate them a step behind the Samsung s3 which is not bad at all. I actually prefer it over the s3 truth be told.

[PapaC]

Anyone here attempted to change the screen on a 2013 Nexus 7?
Or can point me in the direction of someone to do it?
Thinking to attempt it on my own though.

So I charged my phone to 100% and decided to really test Sony's power saving mode.

switched on stamina mode + extended battery mode and used my phone as normal.

used my phone mostly for reading comics, very little use of processor demanding apps aside from facebook :/


still cant believe I actually pulled this off after 22 hours (WIFI Only):

max i normally get with normal - heavy usage is 24+ hours with 4.5 hours SoT

phone lagged like hell with the extended battery mode on though.


Stock 4.4.2 ROM + Kernel. - Used Xposed boot manager to disable some bloatware as well

Dan, what model u talkin about that's "a few steps behind the nexus" but "a step behing the s3"? Those phones are nowhere close in specs or performance. I highly doubt that even tho some of the specs of the high end models might be the same or similar to the N6, that the performance will be the same.

[Ted_v2]

Just the processor and the screen spec is lacking i thinks

You really don't know what you're talking about...I suggest you just keep your thoughts to yourself right now.

Hadda rate up the blu phones. Friend didn't want one. Got her a studio 5.0 ce. Now she can't shut up about it. It actually running faster than my s4. Stock android 4.4 > samsung bloatware. I doth begin to tote. Want to try flashing custom roms now.
