What's worse is that the app has a secondary Back button on the screen once you get past the waiting thing.
Anyone having problems with chrome's sync feature? It hasn't worked for me on my phone or my tablet since the 5th of October. My desktop and laptop are doing just fine though.
What makes BBM better than, say Google Hangouts anyway?
[QUOTE=Protocol7;42607883]How accurate's the touchscreen? It sort of blows on my SW1.[/QUOTE]
It's not bad actually; and it's fairly easy to read. Sure it could be a little higher resolution, but honestly it's not meant to be a replacement to actually using your phone. Since the screen is so small it can be difficult to swipe certain elements, sometimes it takes a try or two but the movement is nice a fluid.

It already has millions of users.

Well, since having a Google account automatically gives you a Hangouts account, BBM has zero chance in that regard.

Million of people that actually use it.
If it wasn't for Ingress, Hangouts would be useless to me, got over 30 Hangouts just for Ingress

I generally prefer hangouts to texting. And I've done 2 video conferences in as many days, and I have an ingress hangout. I really like it.
I would use hangouts, but noone uses it. It's so much better than whatsapp, but you can't tell your whole contacts list to move to hangouts.
The one thing I miss from Hangouts that whatsapp does is voice clips
Hangouts seems really unstable for me. It was alright in the beginning but I now seem to get notifications more than 30 minutes late.

On another not, any Int SGS3 users here on the latest CM10.2 nightly? I'm stuck on 11/10 because whenever I upgrade I get random screen freezes (screen doesn't update at all, doesn't turn off either, still receive notifications (notice on pebble), needs reboot) after 10-15 minutes of use, every single time.

I get that on any ROM I use on my i9300. If you leave it for about 20-30 minutes it'll respond again.

It's quite a bit faster to restart the phone you know :v:
But the 11/10 nightly doesn't do that for me so.

If you let it unfreeze itself, after two or three times it will stop completely till you next restart your phone. Thats how mine got to 500hours uptime even though my S3's motherboard appears to be fucked.
Are there any solutions to apps turning off my music?
So, I want to upgrade from my Galaxy Y and I have been looking a the Xperia L. Are there better options?
Is it good? The specs look for the price
[sp]It will get 4.3, so there is that[/sp]

My friends are willing to use it, so I'm basically alone on Google Hangouts
I've yet to actually use Hangouts since nobody I know uses it. I use mostly texting + Facebook Messenger + Skype + Occasionally steam chats. Then again I'm in the U.S. with unlimited texting so there's that

Exactly the same except here each text is worth around 20c however I get $700 worth of credit on an $11 plan so I am limited to a few thousand.

I use Hangouts with like, one dude, and that's it.
Then again, I don't really hang out with people like that, if you actually want to have a legitimate conversation with me, either catch me on IRC, PM me somewhere, send me an email or just talk to me in real life.
Unlimited text, unlimited calling, 2 gigs of data.

AT&T GoPhone? That's what I've got for my nexus 4
[QUOTE=cubis;42614482]AT&T GoPhone? That's what I've got for my nexus 4[/QUOTE]
How is that by the way? I've considered GoPhone so I can drop Verizon and have the freedom to move between devices at any time and not deal with contracts. And AT&T is the only other provider that has decent coverage in my area. Then possibly get the Nexus 5 since it should be available by then. That is if its in stock.
Unlimited everything except data, of which I only get 1GB. Thanks Verizon. Having great reception is nice, but I think I might drop it when my contract is up. We'll see where I'm at in another year. I've only ever come close to using up my Data once, and that was from spending lots of time on Facebook while I was at work. Now when I'm at home I use Wifi, and I've got access to Wifi when I'm at work. I use Pandora while I'm driving and I still don't use more than 3/4 of my Data in a month.

I may need to learn to curb my data usage a bit. Dammit Google Music. There is virtually no Wifi except at home and at school. And the time I'm using the most data is while driving. :v:

Nah, AT&T regular family plan
God, if Aviate had a landscape mode I'd be using that shit all day every day
How well does Black Berry Messenger work on Android so far? i have it but no contacts to test it with.
