My dad got an iPhone at my advice so now we finally have a good data plan (2GB up from 150MB (technically 6GB shared divvied up amongst 3 people.)) So I experimented with 3G Tethering on WiFi. My battery life on my Fascinate absolutely plummeted. It wouldn't have lasted for more than 30 minutes at that rate. [editline]12th January 2013[/editline] I made its SSID "rrtangentabacus" [editline]12th January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Doritos_Man;39148125]I got my PS3 Controller to play games on my phone now :v: Time to save for a Nexus 10/7[/QUOTE] My only problem with that app is that the analog's threshold is at around 50% or so, so I need to really jam it far to get it to register and it feels like there's a huge input delay.

There's a few things wrong I'll excuse the Asus rather than google 7inch actual size

[QUOTE=Doritos_Man;39193875]It's not just that It's the 8GB Model for $230 for a ONE DAY ONLY SALE[/QUOTE] I think there's only one thing wrong, and that's it saying Nexus 7. It's a picture of an Acer tablet, with pricing that matches, and it says Acer. Rather than those three things being wrong, it would make more sense to assume it saying Nexus 7 is the error, correct?

[QUOTE=Doritos_Man;39194035]But if it's not the Nexus 7 then it would be false advertising?[/QUOTE] Pretty sure it's false advertising either way, since Acer doesn't make the Nexus 7. It's not REALLY an important circumstance of false advertising, companies mess up in their flyers all the time. But the 8GB Nexus 7 isn't produced anymore, so I think it's more logical to assume when you go to buy this mystical tablet you'll be told it isn't the Nexus 7.
Okay why is it that when I change the scaling to 768-1024Mhz that I get more lag than before?
because you're actually changing the setting for how much lag you want and with that thing once it goes up you can't bring it back down
I see things messed up on the Newegg website before. It tends to be things like a dell laptop has a picture with an hp in it.

[QUOTE=garychencool;39196274]wat[/QUOTE] taw
I don't get what you mean. Maybe it's because since stuff is being processed in a faster rate, the RAM, GPU, storage is slower so the lag is there, not the CPU? I dunno, explain further.
he was joking
Hey guys, remember Launcher 7? The really crappy mock WP7 launcher? Well today I just tried [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lx.launcher8"]Launcher 8[/URL] (don't know if it was posted already, haven't read all 242 pages) and it kicks ass [IMG]https://lh6.ggpht.com/LD-rCun0Lry3Oml5-pM1HMwQOK_ZYMfdnVRausIZNuW1HQFQbXDZTyleclWWcl0FQZOU[/IMG]

Okay, I'm really angry at my phone now. I still have the same tethering problem, the device can connect fine though I can't access the internet. If I enable wifi on the phone, the device its tethered to will get internet access through that, so my phone acts as a USB wifi dongle. However, it won't get an internet connection through 3G. My mom called Rogers and according to the person on the phone, tethering should work with that data plan. And it did work fine with my Nexus S with the same SIM. So, tonight I said "Fuck it" and wiped my phone after doing a backup. I got the official files from Google and flashed all of them through fastboot, putting it back to stock Android. Tethering still doesn't fucking work over 3G. I'll try using my mom's crappy Samsung slider running android 2.3 with my SIM in the morning, if that doesn't work I'll go into a Rogers store and hope they can fix this shit.
[QUOTE=Kaabii;39192963]HTC One V gets zero updates, stuck on 4.0.4 forever. Now I see that on Bell the One S is listed as EOL after only getting the Jellybean update. HTC sure has done a magnificent job with software support this year.[/QUOTE] One V was an awful choice of device, it's basically the Nexus S with Sense piled on top. The One S really shouldn't just get dropped at 4.1 though, that's like... 3 updates.
What would you guys say is the best phone I can get for Under 300 dollars? (Something that is actually in stock some where)
Just got a nexus 7. it is awesome.
