I bought an MHL adapter using purely my eBay Bucks, I'm surprised they're so cheap.

I's terrifying how small my S2 feels.

[QUOTE=kaze4159;37918917]I think they make pills for that[/QUOTE] Hehehe. But still, when I bought it I thought it were big as hell, now it's tiiiny compared to S3/Note II.

I've often seen that error when i booted in stock recovery and tried to flash.

Is there any significant advantage to having a Tegra 3 powered device? I just went for the S3, it has a Mali GPU; my logic is that the galaxy s 1/2/3 are the most widespread therefore they'll get the best support for apps / games and whatnot... is it a wrong reasoning?

For games the S3 could have the power of a GTX 690 and it wouldn't matter because 3D games are always designed for iOS, and then ported over to Android, and they used to get some special graphical enhancements when Tegra devices had better GPUs than Apple ones. Any of those special effects ports that run on Tegra 3 should run fine on the Mali, but the problem is getting the special versions of apps if there's two like with Fruit Ninja and Fruit Ninja THD.

[QUOTE=1solidsnake2;37913477]Sony isn't what it was these days. The older Sony Ericsson feature phones were the shit. (Especially when you could flash the firmware of a Walkman phone onto your non-Walkman phone :v:)[/QUOTE] i had a k750i,flashed a w800i firmware on it, it seriously owned, great phone and the sound on it was even better than my sgs2 and you could even tweak the audio to become even better

[QUOTE=Justice;37919833]Anyone have any tips for reducing battery usage? My GSM gnex goes for maybe 6-8 hours on a charge with screen time if I'm lucky. Stock JB didn't really seem to have an improvement over ICS or CM9. Would CM10 be better, or should I be looking at other firmwares for this?[/QUOTE] I had to disable all the location reporting stuff (latitude etc.) in Google Maps for my phone to get a stable battery life again Before I did that it would never enter sleep (it would be locked awake)

god fucking damnit my s3 has a dead pixel like in the middle of the screen...

For fuck's sake. If LG makes a nexus phone, these fuckers will force me to reconsider LG. The main reason for hating LG is their god damn update policy, but I guess that problem shouldn't exist on the LG optimus G nexus. God damnit LG, why must you make my life so difficult.

Well the CM updater works pretty perfectly. No more manual installing of nightlies!

I loved how the camera cover turned the camera on, too.

Any news on the new nexus [I]phone?[/I]

How many times have they delayed ICS for their flagship phones already? No wonder people always go for the GS3 / One X instead of even considering LG's options.

If you can't get ICS or Jelly Bean stock Android apps, you can get them off the the Play Store. I got my nice JB calender off it

[QUOTE=kaze4159;37920389]Place your bets people, who takes Max's ban virginity[/QUOTE] he went from getting a month ban to being a mod [sp]though he's probably just dealing with gmod[/sp] now that's a promotion

The services work great, but damned if they don't do some shitty stuff in the background. I had the same problem on my VZW Nexus with Latitude keeping it from deep sleeping - which is annoying because I never even set it up, nor do I use it.

[B]EDIT:[/B] Ezhik have your tabs become sentient and set fire to you and your house yet today?[/QUOTE] Latitude keeps switching between my exact precise location and the radio tower from a nearby village when I'm at home. Thanks to this, Google believes that I've travelled 50% of the distance to the moon.

I'm on HTC Sense 3.6 and Latitude wasn't turned on by default

I dislike that you can only share your latitude check-ins with people you specifically invite to share with, I want to set them to public damnit..
