[QUOTE=Rong;38220264]Well, I was told that the whole reason HTC is coming with the One X+ is to keep up with the current hardware, which proves that the [B]One X that I'm thinking of getting[/B] (Or perhaps, Galaxy Nexus instead) is considered obsolete by HTC (not really so, because JellyBean has just been released for it)[/QUOTE] plz no
[QUOTE=garychencool;38221358]My first app was SwiftKey X, best purchase ever. It was 10 cents and I had a prepaid credit card anyways. I never bought so many apps in one day in my life. [editline]28th October 2012[/editline] You hae a mini pro, the hell when did you get that? Man in need to keep some sort of list or something. Also in believe you can but really? You can use the keyboard to enter cheat codes,[/QUOTE] He has the Galaxy Nexus, unless something changed over the past month
Don't get not-Nexus Android devices [del]EVER[/del]sometimes
[QUOTE=Ezhik;38222086]Don't get not-Nexus Android devices EVER[/QUOTE] Are you saying people shouldn't get a non nexus device?
bluergh I'm getting an S3 second hand for christmas hopefully, but it's so far away and I keep seeing billboard adverts for it stop rubbing it in samsung
[QUOTE=Ezhik;38222086]Don't get not-Nexus Android devices EVER[/QUOTE] Hey, Samsung's flagship devices are great.
[QUOTE=Ezhik;38222086]Don't get not-Nexus Android devices EVER[/QUOTE] 16GB max storage? Nexus devices are a joke until this changes for each device on release.
[QUOTE=Ezhik;38222086]Don't get not-Nexus Android devices EVER[/QUOTE] So phone makers can't make Android better such as when Sony made multitasking better with adding some mini-apps when you switch apps.
[QUOTE=garychencool;38222353]So phone makers can't make Android better such as when Sony made multitasking better with adding some mini-apps when you switch apps.[/QUOTE] This is actually a very valid point. Not sure if Sony will give that feature to other phones than the Xperia T, but those mini apps are fucking cool.
[QUOTE=garychencool;38222353]So phone makers can't make Android better such as when Sony made multitasking better with adding some mini-apps when you switch apps.[/QUOTE] and then you'll need to buy a new device to get 2 more mini apps they can make android better i like what samsung did with note 2, for example, it's just that it'll always have stupid bugs always have laggy updates then there's shit like one x and one x+ and i can 100% guarantee that x+ will get more updates than one x
I haven't found any bugs and I always flash updates from samsung-update and not from KIES (lol).
So I'm going through offline navigation apps for Android. And every single one [B]lags[/B] and is terrible in a load of other ways. The only one with Google Maps/Navigation comparable POI number (obviously still less than Google Maps) and quality of search is Sygic. Also lags the least, even though it's still slow and filled with bad UI decisions. Sygic is probably the best choice for offline navigation, and also the most reasonably priced one. [editline]28th October 2012[/editline] Seriously, Google should make offline Navigation. I'd even pay monthly for that. [B]IF IT WAS ACTUALLY OFFLINE.[/B]

At least they have Offline Maps so loading is faster and such. I mean I can download all of the Greater Toronto Area at around 80MB, not bad. Although I would like more detail like more locations and such. And offline searching, and a bunch of offline stuff only because I don't have mobile data. Wow.

Didn't have to jump through hoops trying to select sections of an area.

Are there any other sites like XDA?

[QUOTE=SweFox*;38223114]Are there any other sites like XDA?[/QUOTE] Some phones have forums devoted to them (droidforums for instance), googling should get you there.

Galaxy Nexus: The female Mini Pros overprotective brother. He also lifts.
I wanted some hot mini pro on mini pro action Would they give birth to an Xperia pro? or y'know, they could have a "special" child such as the Xperia play..
Or the Sony SmartWatch. That slowly grows up into a phone.
