Pretty sure browsing twitter would use a crazy amount of bandwidth
[QUOTE=Banana Lord.;42738459]Pretty sure browsing twitter would use a crazy amount of bandwidth[/QUOTE] I've just checked on my current phone (android, 4.1) I've only used 94mb of data in the past month. I guess I'll just go for it and if I really need more data the provider might upgrade the contract at extra cost.
My Nexus 5 has shipped, aw yeah. Sunday tomorrow though :(
goo.im is down, damn. I wanted to test out a ROM.
Just done a Quadrant benchmark test, somehow got this. Nexus 4 on 4.4 with ART. [t]http://gyazo.com/5f334ebb410fb4294247bd19f2311630.png[/t]
[QUOTE=mobrockers;42738452]They were talking about importing one from the US, which might use different frequency bands.[/QUOTE] Oh, well yeah it'd be wise to know what LTE bands your country supports before ordering if you want LTE
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;42738902]well yeah it'd be wise to know what LTE bands your country supports before ordering if you want LTE[/QUOTE] Yeah for Australia we need LTE bands 3, 7, and 8. The US Nexus 5 doesn't have any of those bands
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;42730110]OMAP is incredibly open though, so you don't even need to rely much on the SoC vendor to provide drivers[/QUOTE] Not like it matters much at this point. Looks like the community is going to take over now. Going from what I've seen from the Droid Eris (which stopped being officially supported on 2.1 Sense after a year). They managed to make fully functional Gingerbread ROMs (some with Sense even) run at decent speed. Google dropping support seems to be fairly trivial in comparison. Us Verizon GNex owners just need to worry about 4.4 being ported to our phones.
Kit Kat can support half a gig of ram Sony make it happen

Still the point is it should be about a week or 2 and it'll be good to go.

[QUOTE=ikermitkiller;42737105]I have now realised how small and how much of a potato that phone is, God bless you, Gary, for putting up with that "phone".[/QUOTE] Save meeeeeeeeee
Got an score of 6750 on my Nexus 4 running 4.4 with ART. Not bad i guess.
Anddd there they are [url]http://phandroid.com/2013/11/03/verizon-galaxy-nexus-android-4-4-kitkat-rom/[/url] [editline]3rd November 2013[/editline] Weak as shit pageking. Making it better: I think part of the reason Google couldn't write the software for the TI hardware could be a copyright issue. It's still TI's software patents and what not, right?

Touchwiz...
It's sad to think that most people know Android as Samsung's Touchwiz. No wonder they go straight for iPhones..
[QUOTE=jaybuz;42741935]It's sad to think that most people know Android as Samsung's Touchwiz.

Man, every time I use an iPhone it is hard as fuck to do anything more advanced than opening a photo.

JUST GIVE ME ACCESS TO A FUCKING FILE TREE!!!
Oh goodie, now that ART is happening, we have yet another cache to wipe. when installing da rom, remembr 2 wipe cache & dalvik & art, factory reset, flash rom & gapps & then wipe cache & dalvik & art & battery stats

YES I've finally found a 4.2.2 rom for my phone. Oh god this is great. [editline]3rd November 2013[/editline] Only bug seems to be that it can't record video properly. Should I stay with it?

[QUOTE=mobrockers;42742636]How often do you record video anyways?[/QUOTE] Well, not very often, but I'm pretty sure it'll be a bugger when I need to...
[QUOTE=Ol' Pie;42742655]Well, not very often, but I'm pretty sure it'll be a bugger when I need to...[/QUOTE] Have you tried using other camera apps? Like the MIUI one? For me it fixed the problem with buggy camera after flashing 4.2 or 4.1
So what exactly is ART? A replacement for dalvik or something, can it be used with any rom or device or is it a part of the rom/system?
[QUOTE=B-Rabbit;42742746]Have you tried using other camera apps? Like the MIUI one? For me it fixed the problem with buggy camera after flashing 4.2 or 4.1[/QUOTE] Well, by default this uses one that's very similar to google's 4.2 one, but i'm not sure if it's actually that. How do you get those camera apps?
[QUOTE=MasterFen006;42742903]So what exactly is ART? A replacement for dalvik or something, can it be used with any rom or device or is it a part of the rom/system?[/QUOTE] ART is a runtime compiler like Dalvik, except it's way, way fucking faster. When a developer creates an application, he compiles it into Java bytecode, Dalvik or ART then take that, and compile it for the device, so you have one binary that will cover Android devices running MIPS, x86, whatever. It's a part of Android itself, so it'll be available in ROMs and whatever, as long as they're based off of 4.4
[QUOTE=:awesome:;42739722]twitter does a pretty fantastic job of caching all the user avatars and information type stuff while on wifi so you don't have to reload it on cell data[/QUOTE] Yeah I stand corrected, I believe I've used 60mb of mobile data on Twitter in the past 3 days. That might seem like a lot but my iPhone refused to connect to our router for 2 of those so it was all 100% 3G usage. and yes, iPhone, I'm likely going to blow all of my money on the G2 in 3 hours
So I was considering waiting for an OTA for the prime, then I found out if you try to install an official update on an unlocked device it hard bricks it, quality job Asus! What's a good 4.3 rom, PAC looks nice
