Guys, I just got a Xperia ZL (known as ZQ here on Brazil), and fuck, it's glorious, now I'm updating to 4.2.2, and I managed to make my old SIM card into a microSIM, and it worked!
Well I've been doing some thinking. Maybe not having great on screen battery life on my nexus isn't so bad. I don't need to be constantly staring down at my phone and I've got a fully functioning iPod touch at home that gets 6-7 hrs on screen time. Do all android phones have sucky battery life though?

Good thing I never needed to. I did the opposite though (putting a microSIM into a SIM slot, basically using an unwound paper clip so I could get it out again).

WHEN is ZeroLemon launching the Nexus 4 battery case : / They're saying it'll be "in two weeks" for the last two months.

I don't even NEED a battery case since I get around with the N4 battery just fine, and I have a little nokia portable battery (the DC-16) that I carry around in my backpack if I'm going somewhere for a longer time, but I figured that if the reviews for ZeroLemon were good, I'd pick one up as a backup, in case I'd really need that power. Speaking of reviews, anyone here have any feedback on ZeroLemon? or ZeroLemon vs Mugen?

EDIT: in fact I've been torn between the ZeroLemon internal and the Anker external... I still haven't decided
Can't ship that through Amazon into this part of the world :( Plus I kinda liked how the extended battery case can stay on the phone and you have no cables or batteries lying around. Sure, it'll look like a tumor, but [I]in case of emergency I can live with a tumor.[/I] [I]that's probably the first time anyone said that[/I]
My friend bought some cheap Chinese tablet which doesn't even have home button and apperantly is already rooted. Is there any way to get one without taking the whole screen (Screen size is 4,3)
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;41321098]So I might have to switch to PowerAmp. I've been using Winamp for a while, and I paid for pro version and the lyrics add-on. But it's been skipping and stopping randomly. I see that PowerAmp also has replay gain, lyrics, and album art downloading. Edit: Winamp also has a habit of skipping two songs forward or back[/QUOTE] PowerAmp is great, I highly recommend buying it The default UI is kinda bad-looking though, but these skins fix it: [url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ikorolkov.poweramp.skins.ics[/url] [url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ikorolkov.audioplayer.icsw[/url]

In the Android world, that's considered Mini.
[QUOTE=nutcake;41326490]Isn't that smaller than most phones nowadays?[/QUOTE] It's a tablet in the sense that it can't make calls :v:
Oh my god, guys, this is possibly the nicest Nexus 4 case I've ever seen. [url]http://www.casefanatic.com/lg/lg-nexus-4-e960/casefanatic-nexus-4-kommandant-ulta-thin-aluminium-metal-e960-case/[/url] [editline]5th July 2013[/editline] Other than the text on the back.

It is not ugly, it is just plain. Usually the Album Art fills in the rest of the Player UI nicely. [editline]5th July 2013[/editline] Also PowerAmp is the only Android Music App that can deal with albums that have songs with different album art for each one. You don't know how annoying it is that every other app fails at this.
[QUOTE=person11;41328285]I must be the only person in the world to stick with default. It is not ugly, it is just plain. Usually the Album Art fills in the rest of the Player UI nicely.[/QUOTE] I prefer the default skin too.
I find the ICS skin for PowerAMP to be very nice. Clean and easy.

But it does look sexy as fuck. Just too bad there's no NEXUS version with the text in the same place as on the phone itself.
I got my dad one of those types of cases for his S4, since his S2 looked beaten up as hell when it finally gave up
Anyone else try to convert their friends to android when they lose/break their iPhones?
My little sister and older sister both are due for upgrades and I said "I should not try, right?" and they nodded, knowing they'd get iphones
[QUOTE=person11;41330244]My little sister and older sister both are due for upgrades and I said "I should not try, right?" and they nodded, knowing they'd get iphones[/QUOTE] Honestly, it doesn't matter too much. iPhones are hardly bad so who cares.
moreso of an app question than a specific hardware question, did anyone notice the new update for Snapchat changed a lot of shit? When you're on your list of sent and recieved snaps, tap on the "snapchat" title on the top left near the back arrow thing, does yours switch to a number like mine? "1689 | 981"
[QUOTE=person11;41328285]albums that have songs with different album art for each one.[/QUOTE] Let me guess... Nine Inch Nails?
[QUOTE=Hunt3r.j2;41331382]Honestly, it doesn't matter too much. iPhones are hardly bad so who cares.[/QUOTE] It's just annoying when some people have the mindset that iPhones are the only phones in existence. Yeah they're good but at least take android into consideration.
