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

[QUOTE=Vault;38483675]The newest CM10 FINALLY has the TV Lock effect. You have no idea how happy I am.[/QUOTE] My CMx installations have had it since CM7.

[QUOTE=Kaabii;38483708]My CMx installations have had it since CM7.[/QUOTE] Well, on my device the lock effect just disappeared for like 10 nightlies. Then it came back on AOKP which is utter shit on my device but now it's back.

Oh hey it looks like the N4 has an LTE chip on it.

my phone apparently has DLNA and MHL and all this shit I'll never use

I probably could get a Nexus 4 if I asked the right people very nicely, but I'm not particularly inclined to. My Skyrocket serves me well.

the s3 is smooth as heck really like this

No give it to me. Clearly my phone is shit and I need a new one.

[QUOTE=garychencool;38483962]Oh hey it looks like the N4 has an LTE chip on it.[/QUOTE] Useless without a proper antenna for it etc. Shares the same stuff as the Optimus G, removing it would be extra effort. Might also be future proofing for a Nexus 4 LTE version in the future once LTE spreads more.

An LTE world phone is impossible really. Google wants to make one phone, just one, so LTE is out the question at the moment.

Just bought a Nexus 7 32gb! Takes forever to charge the battery :o

FUCK I dropped my tablet this morning by accident and checked it with a sensor app so far everything is working fine, but the tablet says there's a usb plugged in. There's no USB plugged in and the only way to plug one in is though the charging plug (fuck you too Samsung). Now I don't know if I'll be able to charge it since my tablet says it's already trying to charge through the USB port when in factit's not plugged in at all.

that's the alt text :v:

micro-usb [editline]17th November 2012[/editline] fuck

A universal camera lens system? Good luck with that. Universal motherboard for a computer? Oh please. Universal car tire? Probably not. Universal ammunition. Nope.

Managed to convince r/nexus4 to pitch in to a public google spreadsheet to help figure out what the fuck is happening to our orders, 177 contributors so far [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-m_R4viLEMR8/UKfCgcowOGI/AAAAAAAAFBA/Lo48tbvRJlg/s0/2012-11-17_11-59-23.png[/img] welp [editline]17th November 2012[/editline] Here's the link if you want to see all the data/add your order [url]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al-xFAKJdvdhdFYwcUZyT1JiQ0VtSTlPeklsVUwxNXc[/url] 29 collaborators right now, we were up to about 45 for a while

[QUOTE=garychencool;38488256]A universal camera lens system? Good luck with that. Universal motherboard for a computer? Oh please. Universal car tire? Probably not. Universal ammunition. Nope.[/QUOTE] Pretty much all mid-sized japanese cars from the 80's and most of the 90's used both the same car tyre size and wheel mounting hole pattern and center hole diameter. Even when i went from a japanese car to a german, it was just a matter of changing the center ring in each wheel and buy some wheel bolts instead of the wheel nuts i had laying around. Also motherboard size form-factors. Imagine if we didn't have those.

[QUOTE=Mr.Egg;38487773]Just bought a Nexus 7 32gb! Takes forever to charge the battery :o[/QUOTE] You know, I have to say that I bought my Nexus 7 at the wrong time. I got the 16 gig model for $250, and half a month later there's a 32 gig for the same price. I'm kind of ticked at myself.

[QUOTE=TippZ;38486722]the s3 is smooth as heck really like this[/QUOTE] Dunno if it was just the one I tried in Phones4U but I thought the UI was pretty ugly, especially the font. But it was quick, I'll give it that.

I got bored of playing Order and Chaos Online in like a few weeks since Arcane Legends came out.

[url]http://event.asus.com/2012/tablet/nexus_7/[/url] Can get a £25 asus store voucher if you got the 8GB next 7 close to the nexus 7 32GB release. Note that it won't work if you got it from google play.

Bought Nexus 7 8GB not too long ago. I was seriously torn between paying an extra 50 for the 16GB. A week later they announce that 16GB is now 200 dollars and they add a 32GB. I hate everything. The one time I buy a brand new up-and-coming product it gets obsolete a few days later. Well, it's not like I need the space. I store all my music on the cloud and only save my "Favorite" playlist. but still...
