[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;45339445]I think the S5 is the way to go if you want to take really cool pictures and frequently use your smartphone as a camera (live HDR video..!!).

I found LG G3 another great choice, but what puts me off is the lower battery life and the screen seems big.

As I've seen in the store, the phonebook takes like 3 seconds to load up, and other clunkiness, which is mostly non-existant in comparison with LGs and Xperia variants.

Guys i got my Sony Xperia Z2 today!!
I have to (try) and RMA my Moto G :/ The vibration motor died and I think my antenna/radio is being funky. I hope I get away with the unlocked bootloader. They already said they're shipping me the new one in advance (Good guy Motorola) with no CC info needed, and then I ship back my malfunctioning one with a prepaid shipping label.
[t]http://puu.sh/a45He/a09b836d0b.png[/t] annoying ass dots of dirt or something that I can't get out of my screen, not even with glasses wipes :v: maybe it's under the screen somehow, i dunno
I had a shop repair a screen on a phone I bought(htc 4g evo iirc) and when I got the phone back there was a lot of dust under the glass. I drove by again recently and they went out of business.

Oh and they just shipped it. Woo.

[QUOTE=Sivics;45338138]There's better ROM support for the non GPE version anyway.[/QUOTE] Are they different in any way though?
I'm looking for a good white theme that would work on PA

I found LG G3 another great choice, but what puts me off is the lower battery life and the screen seems big.[/QUOTE] G3 by far, it's a very improved G2 and they basically polished the phone and fixed near every issue or weak point with the phone. The battery life should really be better than or equal to the Z2 and is far better than the S5 with it's silly AMOLED battery sucking fancy screen. The G3 is the most screen put into a device period and first only to the G2, do not be intimidated by the numbers because AFAIK it's right inbetween the S5/Z2/M8 in size and significantly smaller than the Note 3. If you're not planning to use a custom rom I'd stay far far away from the S5 since Touchwiz is a plague. If you're interested in the G3, I'd watch these videos as I felt like she was one of the few reviewers who actually liked the G2 and bothered to give it a trial run rather than instantly disliking it because the button placement was different and went back to the Samsung/HTC cock for more money and views. She picks up nearly every flagship and popular phone and gives them a good bit of use to get familiar with them.

What the hell? I installed the Twitter app and it cleared my homescreen and broke my settings app.
Well something happened
Anybody know of any simple games for simple people? My mom got a tablet and she's really into this Bejewleled clone and I want to get her games she might appreciate. Any ideas? I would get her stuff like Plague Inc or Alchemy Classic but I'm not sure if she'd appreciate those.
I got my mom playing clash of clans

[t]http://i.imgur.com/M7dnpdm.jpg[/t] Got it! The display is beautiful, performance is solid tho it does stagger on intensive games but its minor, ordered a case and a microSD, so far nothing has made me push to change it to stock though the layout buttons should have recent apps instead of the context menu
How about any good games with Google Integration? Already have a few on my account (Super Hexagon, Deemo, Flappy Bird)

The only game I've played recently is clash of clans, it helps having a whole clan of people you personally know. It also does in fact have G+ integration stuff too with acheivements and cloud saves. I play on my phone and tablet.

Didn't Crazy Taxi come out for Android as well?
LG video app picks up my media server but says no files in it? Is there any apps that stream from media servers?
On a different conversation Went through some /data/ I already know that if I put a .nomedia file in a folder it gets excluded from the media scan, But can this string be placed on a individual file? snapchat uses it as the extension for it's mp4s I noticed that when I had a .nomedia file in my ringtone folder, my selected file was not able to be used strangely. So now I'm looking for an alternative way to get my custom ringtone in without having it show up in Music [editline]10th July 2014[/editline] Also all these games have shitty in-app purchases or [B]SOCIAL BULLSHIT[/B] shoved down your throat Where's the fun in games these days
