[QUOTE=FlashFireSix;38841232]My dad is like a little kid again with his iPhone 5, he keeps askin silly questions like "beam me up scotty" and then exploding with laughter when it replies "Energizing.."

On the topic of voice assistants, does anybody actually use any of them for daily tasks at all? They're fun for playing about but All I can think is to set timers and trivia questions[/QUOTE]

I don't.

even in my car I prefer buttons for media control, and the GPS is only being set-up when parked.
Kind of a gimmick with a limited target group really.

I ordered my Nexus 4 this morning. It said 6-7 days time till delivery. Four hours later, the 16GB Nexus 4 is out of stock.
Anyone got experience with delivery times on this? WIll it be 6-7 at max or less?

[QUOTE=PyroCF;38840582]I'm actually starting to find Android fanboys worse than Apple fanboys (mainly because there are like none on FP). It's always the same old boring arguments! Blind fanboyism about anything is annoying anyway.[/QUOTE]

Best example is XDA-Devs.
They always make some thread in the General Discussion that bashes Apple like this:
"APPLE DID SOMETHING!"
"LOOOOOOOL!"

Change it for a One X+ :v:

[QUOTE=PyroCF;38841871]Change it for a One X+ :v:[/QUOTE]
And in a few months, change that for a OneX+ 2.0 FullHD Advanced? :v:

Don't give HTC any ideas now, they're [B]TRYING[/B] to clean up their act.

[QUOTE=iCole;38842498]And in a few months, change that for a OneX+ 2.0 FullHD Advanced? :v:[/QUOTE]

HTC Desire XSV+

But seriously all HTC need to do is just do, One X/S/V then next year Two X/S/V. They need an iconic naming system and less models.

HTC uses Qualcomm throughout 2011, phones fall behind because Qualcomm chips are behind the competition. HTC switches to Tegra 3 in 2012, Qualcomm makes a comeback and makes some of the fastest mobile chips.

I'm looking for a good, free music player for Android.
I have the Motorola Droid 4 running ICS, and I've tried: the default player, Google Play (Which is great, but seems limited in my opinion), and PowerAmp (Which is also great, but I can't buy it).

Any suggestions?

I never understood people who can't settle on a music player :v:
Surely all you want it to do is well, you know.

Have you looked at WinAmp?

Well sometimes they either have a interface that bothers you, or either the wrong features or simply lacking in them.
OR just massive resource hogs.

[xmariusx]

My device (Xperia V) won't stay in fastboot. It launch in fast boot, then after a couple of seconds it continue to the "charging stage".
Help? :)
