Screw that, get new pants to fit the phone!

I've been downloading apps like crazy and exploring this phone. I love it so much! So glad I didn't get an iPhone.[/QUOTE]

Screens 3.2" correct? Any difficult to type on?

[David Tennant]

Makes me feel better thanks.

[QUOTE=Cree8ive;33941870]Why? Isn't there a cheaper plan? O_o[/QUOTE]

Cheapest I could find with the phone coming free.

[TippZ]

you all have wicked contracts

[David Tennant]

I only get 250mb a month though so no youtube videos for me, think I can get 750mb more for £6 though.

4gb a month with 30mbps down, 10mbps up

[Mr. Sun]

Paid 150 for my HTC, no contract.35 dollars a month for unlimited text, data and 450 minutes.Thats an individual plan.I'm completely happy with my little HTC Wildfire on my modest Virgin Mobile provider.

[Ignatius]

Got an Xperia Play for Christmas.

There aren't very many games on the Xperia Play market, but I downloaded SNESoid and N64oid and it's absolutely incredible. I can now play Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 anywhere I want and it feels like I'm playing on a regular controller. Not to mention Star Fox, Mortal Combat, and Mario Kart.

Everything is so cheap!
And probably faulty!

[Mr. Sun]

You just reminded me that I can play roms on here.

This phone just got 10x cooler!

[Xylem]

Is it just me or does GalnetMIUI drain battery? Is there any way to reduce battery drain?

[Mr. Sun]

I don't like how large HTC sense is and GO Launcher feels kiddish.

Are there any others I could install that actually look good? I don't want too much of a change and don't want an "arty" phone but the GUI is killing me.

[David Tennant]

Pro launcher is my favorite, I've yet to find one as smooth as that.

[demoguy08]

Pretty sure I'm late with this but holy shit GTA3 is nice. Feels just like when I got GTA Liberty City stories for my PSP like 5 years ago.

Considering that it's absolutely free, you should totally give Go Launcher a second chance, it is [I]the best[/I] launcher around.

[Kingo64]

[QUOTE=Mr. Sun;33944094]GO Launcher feels kiddish.[/QUOTE]
That makes no sense. It's the most customisable launcher so you can fix any of your aesthetic problems easily

[Mr. Sun]

I think I will, I'm still getting to know this whole Android experience and just realized there are a ton of other themes or skins or whatever you call it to download that go along with Go Launcher.

Grab a custom dock from [url=http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/docks]here[/url] which you can mount in Go Launcher Preferences -> Visual settings -> Backgrounds -> Dock background.

Then change wallpaper to whatever. No need to ever use themes

Guys

Guess what

I got myself a mock model of a Galaxy note

You know those display models

What do I do with it

[TehWhale]

give it to me

[ignhelper]

[QUOTE=TehWhale;33945029]give it to me[/QUOTE]

Actually I stole it

The guy gave it to me. I don't even know why he did

Then I walked out

He's so fucked

[Mr. Sun]

wow. what the heck.

By the way, where do I go in order to change from Sense to GO Launcher?

Download Go Launcher, press Home, then you'll see

[Zedicus Mann]

[QUOTE=jlj1;33936068]hold the Back key (at least for a second or so) and then press Home (with the Back key still pressed).

If not: [url]https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.tomorrowkey.android.screencaptureshortcutfree&hl=en[/url]
May work[/QUOTE]
I have to pay $1.26 to take screenshots of anything where I can't see the notification bar... :|
I'll just go without screenshots.

Pocketnow said its photo test of Galaxy S 3
[IMG]http://cdn.pocketnow.com/html/portal/news/0000020751//Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-small.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE]

We have good reason to believe that the photo above was shot by Samsung's unannounced, but surely upcoming, Galaxy S III. Its EXIF data tells us that it was taken with a phone whose model number is GT-I9500, the highest, numerically, that the company has ever used. For reference, the original Galaxy S took up the I90xx range, while the Galaxy S II was slotted into the I91xx set of model numbers; the Galaxy Nexus, internationally, goes by model number GT-I9250. Adding further authenticity to the photo is the fact that the same shooter was testing a Galaxy S II back in January, weeks before it had been launched and months prior to release.

As is often the case when testing out handsets, the photographer here likely dialed the camera back from full resolution to five megapixels; we can assume, however, that the aperture of 2.65 and four-millimeter focal length are probably accurate.

The image was captured in Suwon, South Korea (claims the admittedly-fakeable EXIF data), which according to Wikipedia, is home to a large Samsung factory. Full-size picture located here. [/QUOTE]

[David Tennant]

If when I get my Galaxy note the Galaxy S3 is announced I will not be pleased, I know phones are never new for very long but at-least give me a week.

[Zedicus Mann]

Samsung Galaxy Player S2?
Maybe eventually when they need faster processors and stuff.

[editline]29th December 2011[/editline]

At least it won't go like Apple; "A speaker here now, little more space there now, Camera up here now, etc."

[editline]29th December 2011[/editline]

Now I need a good QR Reader. What do you recommend?

[editline]29th December 2011[/editline]

Hm. Samsung Apps looks pretty useless. I'll stay on the Android Market.
