I have one left and only 2 out of my 9 eaten were winners so far :(
Completed my first survey for google. Got a dollar. However my note 3 still randomly reboots and I can never catch it. >Take out note, take a picture or run an app. Check messages >lock phone, put in pocket >Take phone out, samsung boot screen -OR- >Feel note 3 reaching supernova temps in my pocket >take out phone, yup screen on, rebooted for no reason. Tempted to go return it and get a replacement, or just grab a nexus 5
Sounds like it could be a possible short? My nexus 7 heated up a lot when data was constantly being used but that's about it. I had a phone and it got abnormally hot and rebooted like yours and about a week after I got it the thing shit itself so I got a free one under warranty. I know I would be pissed if the phone decided to take a shit after the warranty ran out, just exchange it to be safe imo.
I tried out SwiftKey on my Nexus 5 and it works better than the default keyboard, however I think it kooks pretty ugly, is there a way to skin it to the same style as the 4.4 keyboard?

It's blue holo though.

This might come out as stupid, paranoid etc. question but is [url]http://gsmnation.com/[/url] okay?
How's the battery life on the Nexus 5? I've read some reviews that suggest it's not very good. I'll be using the phone regularly for web browsing and email, maybe some gaming and video streaming. Will it last me through the day? I'm really in love with the phone but I feel like the battery is a huge letdown.

Hey guys I recently got an Xperia but I cant get it to connect/charge on my pc? I get a question from windows asking to find software for it or something so I tell it to search but it says it can't find anything, so the phone just doesn't do anything. won't even charge when it's connected and it's not recognised on the computer. Anyone know how to fix it?

I don't tend to play games though and I'd imagine that would drain the battery fast due to the 1080 resolution. Audio playback is the total opposite though, it uses hardly any battery.

My nexus 5 is raping data, like seriously 500mb in like 3-4 days. I got 5gb tethering plan but still just the phone itself is raping my data plan with just FB,Twitter,Instagram,G+ It may have been G+ Backup but I only took like 3-4 photos since I got it so we will say. Also charging this phone is slow as balls.
I find facebook and gmail like to constantly update and shit, I just usually leave my data off because I'm on a 300mb plan and shit gets expensive if I like, watch a few youtube videos.

What's all this about surveys giving you money on Google Play? US only I'm guessing?
Fuck maybe I can win enough money to earn one month on google play music, subscribing to that is the shit. Unlimited downloads it's way easier than obtaining Linux Distros and I don't have to worry about cease and desist letters.

Well what the fuck I told everyone to get me google play gift cards for Christmas just for this reason. Fuck am I supposed to do get a bank account and a debit card like a real person?

For me I was prompted to install after first plugging it in, software was on the internal storage of device.
