for the price the N5 is a great phone...

[Jonathan_337]

anybody running custom roms on their s4?
if so what kernel and what rom?

If you're looking to stay stock based.. Check wanamlite and perseus kernel.

If you want AOSP, halogen or Pacman. Halogen is more stable.

Nexus 7 16GB was as low as $199.99 a few times today on Amazon. You guys think it will go any lower?

[ZeroOne]

Got my Sony Xperia Z1 today
.must say...I am very satisfied with my purchase

[Ted_v2]

How much did it cost you?

[trinitachi]

I sold my "me too" S3 and put in the rest -$4700..

[ismithx]

gj man... sony xperia really have some sweet stuff

[Jonathan_337]

So my S4 is completely stock, just a handful of apps downloaded. From ever since before, my old rom as well, everytime I open a notification from the notification bar there's a quick flicker of the screen and then it opens. I know it's an app causing it cause its fine for the few days stock but I can't isolate which one. Anyone had this problem?


Edit : got it. Was a stupid widget causing it.

IT'S HAPPENING GUYS!!!!

so apparently google is trying to fix one of the biggest issues with android, which is the inefficient dalvik runtime. it makes development easy, but uses more resources and power when apps are executed. Project ART in Kitkat promises to solve this.

Get ready to kick yourself bro.

I came to the realization tabs aren't for me. My Note does the job and Note 2/3 will suffice after.

[Ted_v2]

Yea i agree also. a note or a high end android phone will do what my tab does,maybe even a bit more.

[ZeroOne]

I do a lot of presentations/speeches/lectures the note screen is too small for me to read an outline from, even a 7" screen is too small for me, 10 inches to good but I can do with a little bigger.

Note 12.1 is to be announced soon by Samsung!

That's gonna be expensive

[SiR8081]

Anyone know where i can get a Lifeproof case for my S4? Looking for one locally. If not amazon for it. If anyone has it currently, I would not mind a small review.

http://www.amazon.com/LifeProof-nuud-Se ... ud+s4+case

[ZeroOne]

90USD for a case???

[SiR8081]

Yes. This is the nuud series. There is also the lifeproof fre series. The nuud has no screen protector whilst the fre series has one. The fre series is US$80.

Both cases protect against water(6.6 ft), dust, snow and falls(6ft).

The only other case that offers these things is the Seidio obex which is US$80.

I currently have the Otterbox Defender (US$23) (available locally for TT$250) series which has a screen protector and is shock resistant to 9ft i think but is not water resistant or dust proof. I was hoping otterbox would bring out an armor series case to protect against water and dust but so far they are still behind.

You spend a lot of time in the water and need your phone to be waterproof? Why not just get a waterproof pouch for when the chance of getting soaked is higher?
