Oh well, I guess some weather related stuff cannot be predicted as well.

Will probably be watching the WP8 event.

I think cracked screens kind of look badass V:v:V it's like "yeah I survived a drop what of it" kind of like a scar on a muscly guy

My dad is trying to decide between the SGS3, HTC One X and the Note. He just needs it work work, GPS, searching, and pictures. Pros and Cons of each?

Maybe I'm just a rebel but I think the Nexus 10 looks fine and the 4 looks goofy with the glitter back [QUOTE=Van-man;38211398]Live wallpapers suck you battery dry like it's a small juice brick given to a college senior. And phone manufacturers [B]STILL[/B] insist on manufacturing phones that doubles as a shiv.[/QUOTE] I ran a LWP for a few weeks and my battery life was exactly the same, about 2% drain per hour under normal use by my standards.

I could see how certain LWP's may affect those things though.

I keep wondering if that really is a glittery back. Like, that would be such an annoying texture...

IMO LWPs are pretty much like any other program that's constantly running. The battery life most likely depends on the dev's code quality, then on the complexity of the LWP.

Good live wallpapers pause when they aren't visible

[QUOTE=Hunt3r.j2;38207766]Not stock firmware. If you modify system/firmware data in any way OTAs will not work for the most part. CWMR doesn't support the OEM's OTA file structure, so it won't work.[/QUOTE] Alright now how do I switch it back to standard? Preferably without having to set everything up again.

[QUOTE=lavacano;38212728]Alright now how do I switch it back to standard? Preferably without having to set everything up again.[/QUOTE] Download the update from xda (or wherever you can find it) and flash it, it'll update just fine.

[QUOTE=jlj1;38212184]Good live wallpapers pause when they aren't visible[/QUOTE] Exactly. That's why I never understood why people always say they drain battery. There should be next to no difference unless you sit at the home screen constantly with your screen on. EDIT: Would it possibly be because when they were brand new, they were often poorly coded and didn't pause in the background?

It lags the phone more as it uses a bunch of resources to render it. I decided to use the ICS Beam live wallpaper for a day and it drained 20 percent of my battery based on the Android battery stats. It also lagged Nova launcher, like a lot. So I'll stick with my normal, static wallpapers.
