Apparently the LG Nexus tablet is actually a [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1sjtx7/lg_v510_not_a_nexus_after_all_just_a_lg_g_pad_83/"]G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition[/URL]. The G Pad has really nice hardware so I would actually consider buying this, 8" is the perfect size for a tablet.
Whoo! (Sorry if I'm late) [quote]We've just launched two new devices, the Sony Z Ultra, Google Play edition and LG G Pad 8.3, Google Play edition, available now on Google Play in the US: goo.gl/5JXvX4 & goo.gl/KHBqPw•[/quote] Too bad there isn't a z1 play edition though
I wonder if it'll launch with Android 4.4.3. [editline]10th December 2013[/editline] wait what they're out already?

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;43136819]Welp, that seems to be a downgrade compared to the 2013 Nexus 7 to be honest, and for the price I don't see why would anyone take it over the N7[/QUOTE] In what way is it a downgrade? It has better internals all around

[QUOTE=Starship;43135206] Only negative thing ive found is an HP printer app keeps reinstalling, Google keyboard has no suggestions at alot of apps that SwiftKey does. And last, the phone gets insanely hot when using it and charging at the same time. [/QUOTE] That HP printer app was acting up on my S3 running 4.3 as well, I just disabled it Why is it even there
Newest version of Nova Launcher has transparent status bar if you're running Kit Kat.
[QUOTE=Chains!;43138793]Newest version of Nova Launcher has transparent status bar if you're running Kit Kat.[/QUOTE] Why can't they just make it appear on lower android versions? Like hide the actual one
[QUOTE=Chains!;43138793]Newest version of Nova Launcher has transparent status bar if you're running Kit Kat.[/QUOTE] The real Nova, not the beta?
[QUOTE=garychencool;43139058]Why can't they just make it appear on lower android versions? Like hide the actual one[/QUOTE] they'd need a notification listener and there's no way to access your default status bar when it's hidden on <4.4 aka you can't actually view your notifications
I really want the Z Ultra but I really don't because I have normal sized hands.
I once saw this iOS 7 notification shade app, where it obviously added the iOS 7 notification centre to Android. When you pulled it down, it made it so your nav bar buttons couldn't be touched. Wouldn't this be able to be implemented on custom lockscreen apps?
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;43132350]Could someone enlighten me why are there people that are big advocates of LTE? I mean, I know it's a good concept but it just doesn't work out in a world where you have to pay a premium for it, have data caps, drains your battery and is fast as HSDPA[/QUOTE] Where in the world do you have to pay just for LTE, that's silly as hell. Elsewhere in the world LTE speeds can be above 100mbps. Here though LTE gets over 55mbps which is far faster than my midtier Comcast which for a stupid as fuck $100 a month you can get "50mbps" that might meet LTE speeds.

T-Mobile was the first to have "4G" in my area and 11mbps was blazing fast. If I had stuck with a 3G phone instead I have been missing out on data speeds over 10x faster now. LTE is the future and if you have it in your area, you plain shouldn't get a phone that doesn't support it. LTE speeds are only going to go up in the near future and it's going to leave the ever struggling shit cable connections far in the dust within the next 3 years. If you're only planning to keep whatever phone you are buying for maybe 6 months or a year tops and toss it in the garbage then go for a non-LTE phone. But if you plan to make the phone last at all you would be absolutely shooting yourself in the foot to not have it compatible with LTE's current 144mbps potential.
COULD IT BE? [url]http://androidcommunity.com/the-nokia-made-android-device-is-full-steam-ahead-according-to-sources-20131210/[/url]
welp I failed at quoting that [quote=that post]Sources are also confirming that “Normandy” is set to be the Asha of Android devices, pushing low-cost hardware that can run many current apps and services[/quote] Haha, nope, it's gonna suck shit through several bricks.
Can I ask for phone-related help in this thread? I only ask because I have a goliath of a post to sum up audio problems I am having with my Note 3.
Shoot.
Alright, first off, it seems either the phone or Google Music is having some problems which I can't seem to fix nor find any details about online. There are many strange problems to list, so I will start firing them off from what I observed. When I listen to music, let a song finish, and the next song in the list comes up, the audio will sometimes get either quieter or louder. I fix this by going to Google Music's menu and manually selecting the song and the volume goes back to normal. What is even more bizarre, is that sometimes songs will play distorted as if someone set an equalizer to play only the upper frequencies and turn down all the rest. Again, I fix this problem by re-selecting the song from the menu. Even stranger, sometimes re-selecting the song doesn't fix this issue, and I have to go to the equalizer in Google Music and turn it on then off to "reset it" (Which also only fixes it sometimes, hah). What is even more bizarre is that the "User" equalizer doesn't work (As in, I move the sliders anywhere and it makes no difference. Bass and surround controls work though). I tried to fix the audio issues by just setting the equalizer on Flat and hoping it fixes these issues. All that does is give me the same problems as before, only sometimes the audio will get A LOT louder (Like, first volume notch would be considered normal listening volume, highest notch could destroy my IEM's). When the song gets much louder, I can hear a lot of white noise in the background as if somebody just cranked the gain so I think this is a software conflict or something. The most ridiculous part of all of this, is that any permutation of these errors can happen depending on whether or not I turn the equalizer on/off depending on whether I am listening to a song or not AKA I have no clue what exactly is causing it. Oh, and I also noticed that there is a lot of hiss in the background of this phone when I play songs. This hiss doesn't increase when I turn up the volume, so sometimes it isn't audible but if I am listening to a quiet song, it is quite irritating since it fluctuates and distorts in the background. There is no hiss if there is no sound playing. I thought I had tinnitus for a second but I play music through my Galaxy Nexus and there is no hiss at all, which was a disappointing discovery since I thought this phone was supposed to have better sound quality. These issues only happen when I let Google Music play songs through my headphones and the next couple of songs come up. It seems to happen at random, as in no particular songs have these issues but it could happen at any time if I am letting Google Music play through an album or something. I have yet to test the speakers, and I want to test Samsung's default music player but I have to bring over a bunch of songs since I only use Google Music. These issues are bad enough that I pretty much can't listen to the audio for fear of A) Songs sound like fizzy mush or B) I lose my hearing. Okay, maybe that was an exaggeration, but I don't want to have to fuck around with Google Music and equalizers every other song. I'd rather not send it back for a new one since I have everything set up on this phone, being that I've had it since launch. I am currently listening through Westone 3 and Sennheiser CX500 headphones, and the problems persist on both of these. I do not have any third party audio-related software, just the stock Samsung apps and Google Music. Sound Adaptation is turned off. All the equalizer settings, from what I could find, are turned off. My phone is a Verizon phone.
Google now sells the nexus 7 in white and they also launched the Google editions of the Sony experia z and LG pad 8.3
Only for the US I imagine

Either way speeds are only going to increase and your HSPA+ phone is going to be as brutally left behind as 3G phones were 2 years ago and HPSA a year ago. What carrier are you with anyways?

Oh wow: [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19779215/Photos/Facepunch/wow.jpg[/img] I apparently get $20 for having the misfortune to own an LG G2x at one point.
