Android thread V-garychencool finally rooted his phone and got ICS edition - Hardware & Software

So when I get my tablet sometime next month I have 2 options 1. Buy from best buy, prices are a little big higher, but it is local. If I get the extended warranty I can get a replacement from them on the same day. 2. Buy from amazon, prices are a little cheaper, but I don't know if they offer any good warranties. Does anyone know if Amazon has any good warranty programs for tablets?

[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;38252012]I'm still astounded by that; whose idea was it to put it there instead of on the back like most of their other phones? The Verizon logo is hideous as it is.[/QUOTE] Oh don't worry, it's on the back too.

[QUOTE=Cakebatyr;38249504]There's got to be some way, if the Nexus 4/10 video is anything to go by they at least have screen recording capabilities. Maybe just recording with no projection though, could just be timely editing.[/QUOTE] They added support for [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast"]Miracast[/URL] in 4.2, which is what they were using in the videos.

Speaking of Nicki Minaj, I swear she's getting darker and darker every time I see her somewhere.

[QUOTE=garychencool;38252647]My ears die a little every time I hear her name, or her sing/rap. It's horrific.[/QUOTE] I'd say how I feel about her, but the thread would get derailed, but to put it simply I agree

So one of the main reasons I'm considering the transformer over the Nexus 10 is the ridiculous battery life and keyboard dock. Can anyone tell me with any confidence that there will be a good keyboard peripheral released for the Nexus? Related: Star Wars ep 7 announced because Disney bought Lucas film. Don't derail the thread, just go Google it.

My issue with Bluetooth is battery drainage.

Wooo. Blue stuck pixel on my 1 day old S3!

massage it [editline]30th October 2012[/editline] give it a back rub

[QUOTE=sdwise;38254230]My issue with Bluetooth is battery drainage.[/QUOTE] Well it uses less power than wifi I wouldn't mind having a bluetooth keyboard in my phone, even though it has a slide out keyboard...

When I get my S3 I'm going to get an MHL cable, connect it to our projector, pair my PS3 controller via bluetooth and then play dead trigger/emulate snes games projected on the wall at the end of my bed shit will be [I]so[/I] cash [editline]30th October 2012[/editline] Attempting to play dead trigger on my broken HTC desire Z, this will provide amusement [editline]30th October 2012[/editline] Already failed I can't press the download button, then it force closed, but I managed to select it with the trackpad [editline]30th October 2012[/editline] Fml I can't press the accept mission button

[QUOTE=PyroCF;38253650]Samsung have released keyboard docks for all of their tablets so far afaik.[/QUOTE] How have they functioned? Bluetooth or asus style?

I want to sell my SGS3 from AT&T and buy the Nexus 4. I'll probably sell it for cheap to someone here, if anyone is interested. I've had a case and screen protector on it since day one.

I think I should buy the nexus 4, but I dont wanna give up my at&t s3, so instead of selling it, I think i might just buy it outright.

[QUOTE=sdwise;38254230]My issue with Bluetooth is battery drainage.[/QUOTE] The impact is so minimal, I use my iPad with Apple's wireless keyboard all the time. But honestly if you want something with a keyboard that'll actually be good for productivity, buy a Surface or an Ultrabook.

But the iPad has insane battery optimization

Bluetooth doesn't use much unless you're constantly broadcasting visibility.

Garry/Kaabii: I know you hate the look and feel of Sense 3.6. But if you want to use the device to learn the ins and outs and help customers without dealing with the aesthetic's of Sense, this might help a lot: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448255[/url] Go with Ice HD skin w/o transparent status bar, it really does make the skin so much better.

Hey how many charge cycles does my phone battery have ? I probably went through 1000.
