[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;41332364]Let me guess... Nine Inch Nails?[/QUOTE] Partly that yes and the rest is even more embarrassing Even though 95% of the music I have has normal album art I still feel like music players should know how to deal with album art as a matter of principle.
I've been using Google music all access for over a week, it's nice. Like all of the music I'll ever need is on it.
Okay, wow, PowerAmp is amazing. So many settings. And it has a proper lock screen widget. EDIT: it even has settings for "use wakelock" and "keep service". I think my problems with Winamp on CM were being caused by not wakelocking properly.
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;41333045]Okay, wow, PowerAmp is amazing. So many settings. And it has a proper lock screen widget.[/QUOTE] I'm just waiting for proper Google Music support because I miss the equalizer.
Good thing I don't care about Google Music at all. MicroSD for life.
No more looking for music, it's all on Google Music All Access (for me at least). I don't listen to much music, I'm no audiophile or whatever you call it.
[QUOTE=Scot;41328401]I prefer the default skin too.[/QUOTE] Yeah, after using it for a bit, the default skin is pretty cool. I don't want every single app to look like Holo; that's kind of boring (as long as they don't look like Gingerbread or something) Gary stop breaking my merges
Streaming music is too unreliable for me. But if I ever did use a streaming service it would be Music Unlimited since they stream in 320kbps, which AFAIK is the only service to do so.
Spotify streams 320kbps btw.
Why does Swype have such a problem with the word "probably"? It always gives me "pregnant" instead. I feel like it's trying to tell me something, but I'm not sure what.
My swift key suggestion starts with "I" and then "love" and then "you" [editline]5th July 2013[/editline] and every suggestion in a conversation always leads to a confession of love
Google Keyboard suffers from the "probably" swiping problem too. half of the time it'll give you EVERYTHING apart from "probably".
So I decided to have an early night last night, using my S3 as normal, I sent a text and a few snapchats and then leave it on the table next to my bed charging. I wake up about 4 randomly and decide to unplug it because it's charged, then I see a few more messages but I ignore them because I'm tired. Then when I wake up about an hour ago and do my usual reach for my phone to check the time, it's completely dead, not even plugging the charger in does anything. I just tried to unscrew it all and prod any loose connectors, mainly the screen one but they're all secure, so I have no idea what's happened, has the battery shit out on me? I really don't want the phone to be dead immediately after I get a £100+ repair done on it

The notification LED should light up red for 2-3 seconds, and then the phone should vibrate and the LED will turn off. If that happens, then the battery is messed up. If not, the phone is messed up.

No LED :( [editline]6th July 2013[/editline] I really need this to work, my dad knew my phone was broken so I told him to not do anything about it because I know it's a really expensive repair, and money is a slight issue right now, but he didn't tell me and went ahead and bought it anyway without telling me, and now, barely even a week later, it's died overnight [editline]6th July 2013[/editline] It's got nothing to do with this has it?

[QUOTE=Flash_Fire;41333876]... No LED :([/QUOTE] Damn, that's a shame. I have no idea what could be wrong. Maybe the [URL="http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/samsung-user-group-136/samsung-s3-suddenly-died-after-charging-overnight-4036478-5.html"]motherboard sudden death[/URL] issue? When I opened my S3 to replace the screen, there was no "void" sticker that indicated that it had been opened. There was only a water damage sticker. So theoretically, if you have a warranty, you might still be able to send it in even though it's been previously repaired. No guarantees though. EDIT: I saw your edit, and yeah, that's the only thing that could explain it really
Ffffffffffffffffffuck just why I doubt it'd fall under warranty, the insides are white while the front is black I'm 100% boned
Oh wait... did you check with other chargers? Other USB cables? That's the most important diagnostic step actually
I've tried the stock plug and cable, third party plug and cable, cable just plugged in to my PC and a Nokia charger, all of them did nothing, battery in or out
RIP flash fire's phone
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;41334079]RIP flash fire's phone[/QUOTE] How am I going to tell my dad "Oh yeah you know how you dropped £100+ to repair my phone? it died by itself overnight, and the warranty is void" [editline]6th July 2013[/editline] I really need to find a job so I can pay for my own stupidity :suicide:
How girly is the Nexus 4 irl?

Maybe one day you'll earn enough to buy yourself an SK17a/i.

[QUOTE=Flash_Fire;41334216]I was gonna get phone insurance I just didn't get round to it yet, I guess that kinda bit me in the ass didn't it[/QUOTE] Yeah.. I had to get mine within 15 days of buying the phone
I got 3 year full replacement warranty for my tablet for $80 :v: The best part is, it's the same warranty the store uses to cover their TVs and Washing machines, so there's nothing about voiding the warranty by modifying the software I'm SOL if my tablet gets infested with ants though, that's a specific clause that voids the warranty :v:
[QUOTE=mokkan;41334165]How girly is the Nexus 4 irl?[/QUOTE] On a scale of girly to manly, it's manly. Unless we're talking about the white version, which is sorta half-way between those two.
