Got none of the ones in the list, that's for sure. I'm in Sweden, so using a provider called Telenor. Guess I have to wait.
And was about to use my 16 gb sdcard to download play music playlists and it can only use internal memory. Why? I mean, why would you make a player store it's music only in the internal sdcard? Biggest nonsense I've ever seen. Maybe it works for nexus devices and other mid end phones, but what about people with sdcards slots?

But seriously, I'm sure you could make a link from the internal storage cache folder and tell it to create a symbolic link to a folder on the SD Card. Its the "ln" command in Linux.

[QUOTE=nikomo;43059926]My cheap little Chinese piece of shit charging case thing for my i9100 came. And it's actually good. I'm surprised.[/QUOTE] Be warned though: those cheap Chinese ones can start out really good and then quickly lose their ability to hold charge.

[QUOTE=slayer3032;43062839]If it's a Samsung phone I honestly wouldn't be surprised as their open source support and drivers are generally buggy as shit anyways.[/QUOTE] The problem is mostly with Exynos in particular. I have a Canadian S3 with Snapdragon, and CM is much faster than stock (although I haven't tried stripped stock, CM is blazing fast)

God I love Symlinks. Its like shortcuts, but on steroids because 90% of the time the program accessing it has no clue.

But those have more restrictions.

[QUOTE=garychencool;43051983]Does anyone here even use g+?[/QUOTE] I purposely avoid it due to the shitty and forced integration of it with Youtube. It has enabled idiots from bickering on a even bigger scale.
Who here uses evernote? I stopped using it months ago, I should probably start using it again for school notes.

[QUOTE=ikermitkiller;43071442]It's all about Google Keep. Get with the times, geez.[/QUOTE] You can't put pictures in specific areas of the note in Keep, so the photos you have in a note on Keep are basically attatchments. You also can't bold, underline stuff, etc.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;43071520]I don't like Evernote purely because I need to have offline access to my notes, and that's a paid feature. I default to Springpad as a result. [/QUOTE] It's only if you want to download entire notebooks for offline use, like when you flash your phone or something. You can still open every single note and it will stay in cache if you set it to. That's what I've been doing.

It's better organized than Evernote and I use drive everywhere. It's better integrated than Evernote, especially on the desktop. But you're right, Evernote's picture feature is great.

[QUOTE=sdwise;43072360]But can't evernote insert a picture into your notes?[/QUOTE] Can't drive let you embed a picture into your documents?
Yes, Evernote and Drive will let you put images where ever you want. It's just that keep doesn't and it lacks stuff I'd use a lot.
