Galaxy Note II is amazing phone

[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;38478592]lol "effort" how do you even wake up in the morning[/QUOTE] Without downgrading, using ADB and downloading a load of files [editline]16th November 2012[/editline] It's a lot of effort compared to using say SuperOneClick or visonary, but neither of them work so I just can't be bothered to do all of that shit for a phone I'm going to abandon after christmas

Does anyone have any experience installing key sensors in phones? I got my replacement key sensor and installed it, but none of the lights popped on, and it was unresponsive. Did I fuck up the install, or was it a DOA?

Alright so I'm switching to T-Mobile and I can only get the free phones, I was looking at the Galaxy S Relay as its the only one with ICS 4.0 on it. Is the Relay any good or should I get something like the blaze? I do most of my shit on the computer but I just want a phone that will last as long as possible.

[QUOTE=FlashFireSix;38478520]I've been putting off trying that because it's just so much effort involved I'm getting a new phone at christmas (hopefuly) but it'd be nice having a rooted phone till then[/QUOTE] Well, it's the method I used, so yeah. I don't think I'd even waited a full week before rooting it.

[QUOTE=Drag0nSnak3;38479171]Well, it's the method I used, so yeah.

So Shadowgun: Deadzone can actually run on my phone without crashing on the loading screen but it lags like shit on low graphics settings. The latest Dead Trigger update also caused lots of lag during gameplay... Damn it.

[QUOTE=benjgvps;38476629]Anyone get an Ingress invite yet?[/QUOTE] Nope but I want it, can't see it happening here for the next 5 years though.

so in 4.2 google hid the developer options. Upon googling it you have to go to about phone and tap build number a few times to get it back (with a quirky little message). Also tapping android version does a thing too try it out.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;38480227]Holy mother of late batman, that's coming from me too![/QUOTE] I've never done it before! why would I go to the about phone and tap stuff multiple times :v: until now when google decided to hide the dev options obviously

Heh, there's only like, five portals in my city for Ingress. Somehow I don't see this catching on here.

Got my Nexus 10. Loving it so far.

Hopefully, I can get the Nexus 4 this weekend. If not I'll probably get it sometime next week.

who are all you people who can buy a new phone as soon as Google releases it? I thought only Apple fans did that

[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;38481568]who are all you people who can buy a new phone as soon as Google releases it? I thought only Apple fans did that[/QUOTE] I'm not paying a ridiculous amount for it nor am I waiting in line for like 12 hrs just to get a phone. I'm a sane person unlike Apple fans.

I just mean, it's odd that so many people happened to need a new phone right when it was released (sold out within 30 minutes in a lot of areas). My phone is going to last me at least six more months. Unless they're all buying it just because it's a Nexus 4 and then selling their old ones. I guess that makes sense too. I just happen to wear out my phones to the point where they don't have any resale value.

I don't think I'd be getting the N4 if my Triumph still worked, especially since there's a surprisingly large dev community keeping the phone alive.

[QUOTE=Doritos_Man;38481585]I'm not paying a ridiculous amount for it nor am I waiting in line for like 12 hrs just to get a phone. I'm a sane person unlike Apple fans.[/QUOTE] Yeah, no offense to you. I just see a lot of people absolutely freaking out about it being sold out, as if it were never coming back in stock again. (Some people actually did stay up [B]all night[/B] to wait for the N4 release, which borders on Apple crazy.)

Some can get the latest and greatest while others (as in most) cannot.

GifBoom not compatible with the Nexus 7? Can I get confirmation and perhaps a fix?

The newest CM10 FINALLY has the TV Lock effect. You have no idea how happy I am.
