[QUOTE=Sivics;44577811]I think they might since the only reason they stopped galaxy nexus support is because the company that made the cpu stopped making mobile processors so Google didn't have right drivers for it to work perfectly.[/QUOTE]
I just read somewhere that Google stops support at 2 years, so I'm hoping for an extended year since Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 isn't too dramatically different in the internals
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;44577727]I know that but just seeing if Google will still. I run on Omni so I know they will always have me covered hopefully

Plus Omni is a major god send, battery life no longer drains with 3G on (even in idle) and really boosted performance[/QUOTE]
Is Omni really that good? I'm getting shit battery life still on PA with lots of draining on data
[QUOTE=cubis;44578814]Is Omni really that good? I'm getting shit battery life still on PA with lots of draining on data[/QUOTE]
I've been using it for about a month and a bit now, switched from modified KitKat stock to it, got to say I've noticed huge differences in battery life and performance
Get this, on the previous stock I had, data on idle would drain the battery and cause it to overheat if I did something simple like snapchat, on Omni I've never had this problem
It last me a full day with data on, coming home with it about 50%, and when I sleep it hits about 20% which is great
I put it on my N7 1st gen tablet as well, even though that thing has solid battery life, it upped the performance a lot
[editline]18th April 2014[/editline]
Just be cautious though, when I first downloaded the latest version of omni on my n4 it failed to start the google setup wizard which caused the phone to go in an endless error loop, I had to downgrade to fix that
So the new Google Camera update fixed the annoying as hell focus pumping in video mode. Yay.
Inherited my brother in-laws old HTC One S. First smartphone (been using an ipod touch for years + dumbphone), first time actually using android (have written an app for uni coursework).

[QUOTE=Del91;44577305]So! On my galaxy Tab 3 im trying to setup multiple user accounts but when I try and setup a new account it throws constant gapps/10 random other apps have failed/stopped responding messages and im unable to setup any other user accounts. Google doesnt tell me much, but I am slightly intoxicated so ill try on that front again tomorrow. If anyone has any idea what the problem might be it would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]
Figured it out. You cant create an account and set it up later, even though it gives you the option, you have to create and setup all in one go.
[QUOTE=Scot;44578056]That looks pretty shit though. The blur is all over the place.[/QUOTE]
This is why I used the '~artsy~' word, which implies the sarcastic tone.
god, I have the new phone crave again. The camera and nonexistent microphone on my Nexus 4 is fucking making me pull my hair out. If I have to take one more picture or video with it I think I'll just throw it under a train. Or myself.
Thinking of selling my Nexus 4 (pretty sure I could get around €220 for it, it's in a "no scratch at all" condition), and could get the Nexus 5 white/red 32gb (for some reason they're significantly cheaper than the black ones) for roughly €300.
help me

also I can't just be ok with living in a world where garychencool has a better phone than me! :v:
Aw how cute
Get the white one unless you want eye bleeding red.
The red is sexy as fuck, but I don't know if I'd be happy with it always. White is still kinda negative, and still cheaper than the black one.
I don't even need or want a new phone, but the fucking camera and microphone on my N4 will be the death of me.
I thought you said you wanted a better phone because you couldn't live with yourself with me having a better phone :v:
Is it normal for adblock plus to have very high amounts of data usage?

If I had the choice to buy the Nexus 5 again, it would've been a really close race between the black and the white. The white earpiece still bothers me, but the white back is sexy (and expensive)

A marker can easily color in the white ear piece. I haven't done it on mine but don't plan to anytime soon.
Red N5 is best N5.

Use adaway. Lightweight open source alternative. You can grab it on fdroid.
If anyone is in Canada and wants an S5 you can get it on Fido for the same 2-year on contract price but with a monthly plan that's half the cost of every other carrier.

If you are thinking of buying the white Nexus 5, buy the black one and an OEM white back cover for it. Honestly the matte black sides are much better than the glossy ones on the white version.
If you bitch about finger prints a lot, get the rubber black version. If you don't care, simply get the white.
I used a black Nexus 5 and I remembered why I disliked the grip feel. It's just me.
Also Costco has power banks now...

I got a white LG G2 and it's sexy as fuck. However it's locked away in the safe that is my Otterbox that I got somewhere around half off.
I didn't want to get the white G2 because I hate white bezels around screens, making them look ugly.
Although the white G2 has a black border around the screen, I'd prefer completely black front while the sides and the back would be white.

You need a direct link to it.
So, the "Share Image" link isn't what I want?

God what a pain in the ass.
I found something kinda weird, so the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 runs on 4.3 and has those wonderful little Daydreams and whatever right? So in order to enable them, you have to turn the dock homescreen off. Okay, fair deal, but if you put your phone in a dock with the daydream setting on, it goes directly to the TouchWiz docking screen.

How dare you ruin a beautiful phone with such a bulky ugly case.
Also use cubeupload, imgur compresses your images.
