Yeah, according to their livechat (which doesn't mean much) they'll also do it for you even if you're on a family plan and the only line leaving it. Same deal, you just gotta send them the invoice from when you paid the ETFs and they'll pay it back.
Are more recent phones like the M8 and G3 able to handle Imgur albums in the format of quite a few images being displayed on the web page at once? On my current S3 it crashes the browser if I attempt to do something like that. (Similar behaviour is also displayed on the FP ticker)

My M8 seems to do pretty well. I've looked at imgur albums with 50+ images with no fuss. Your waiting for them to download more than anything.
Same with my Nexus 5, I don't think I've ever seen Chrome crash. It can get a little laggy at times but scrolling and zooming are always smooth as butter.
From what I understand the Nexus 5 was leaked in a similar fashion.

After a thorough inspection (and realising there's a code check thing) I can determine it's legit
I just scored a brand new 2013 Nexus 7 from Staples for only $106. Holy shit.
They are running a $100-off promotion for clearance tablets if you have a coupon.

Ah shit man, I'd pick one up if I even had $100 to throw at it.

Actually no I wouldn't. I just sold my Nexus 7 a couple months ago because I never used it. This is why I never have money.

Where did you order it? I'm scared of exploding ripoffs...
[QUOTE=tempotempo;45792162]Where did you order it? I'm scared of exploding ripoffs...[/QUOTE]
I got it from some Australian ebay seller, I went with somebody that looked generally professional with real high feedback ratings. I checked all the negative feedback for anything suspicious but it seemed clean
I think you'd have similar consumer protection laws to us. If you got a knockoff one you could get a refund pretty much no questions asked

Used the same tactic when buying a replacement battery and got one that apparently has two plus poles... :v:
[QUOTE=tempotempo;45792162]Where did you order it? I'm scared of exploding ripoffs...[/QUOTE]
The ripoff won't necessarily explode, I had one. It just charges like shit :v: The legit bank is like a new world.
Also, kaze4159, that's the sexiest photo of the power bank I have seen to date.
Hooooly shit so I figured out a potential fix to the Nexus'4 ever eating battery crisis on 4.4
As you can see it's dropping way less, by now it should be at 60% but the battery isn't consuming a fuckload like it used too, evidence:

hokay i got the fix from some reddit user, don't have the link on me but nexus 4 users try this out
Sign out of Google+ -> Uninstall all updates from Hangouts (this won't erase SMS's btw) -> enable location services (any setting doesn't matter) -> reboot
Sign back into Google+ -> update hangouts and sign in
Your phone should somehow stop chewing a lot of battery, make sure your screen setting is low or auto and apps your not using are swiped
It is working good for me but I'll give it a trial run when I'm at school tomorrow with my 3G on

how do you do the code check?

Says playstore crashes tho, is it a viable fix?
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;45794040]Says playstore crashes tho, is it a viable fix?[/QUOTE]
I've noticed absolutely no side effects over the last 3 days. Also I updated my post above, somebody made an Xposed module that can handle the wakelocks from Google Play services

This label on the box, scratch off the silver bit on the left, then there's 4 rows of numbers
Enter them here [url]http://order.mi.com/service/dyscode[/url]

If you see a red warning, it means somebody's entered that code already, and how many times it's been done
Green check means it's an original code
Anybody know the best way to fix a laggy as fuck Nexus 4?
Don't know why but lately runs like shit. Hangouts takes like 2 seconds to open and also when I get a message it takes about 2 seconds to load the message into the message list. Clicking on anything that brings the keyboard lags and takes a second also and using Swiftkey swipe movement seems laggy too.
Any ideas what I could try before factory resetting?

Remove apps you don't use, or clear their cache, data too if you want (will remove logins/savedata)
Clear out memory with file manager (ES File Explorer is great for this, also shows handy information)
Check RAM and CPU usage
Close/Stop apps
If Else, backup what you want then Factory Reset

ummmm
I never got that label...
yeah mine didn't have it either, even though the powerbank itself IS legit.
Maybe the fact that I bought the legit one from an electronics shop in my country instead of buying on eBay had something to do with it?

Same reason I buy my SD cards from Best Buy all the time, they seem to last a lot longer than the cheap ones off Amazon/eBay...

I haven't got any off Amazon or ebay yet (because USA deals are so much better) but I got a sandisk extreme 32GB UHS-1 card from this Chinese camera store that had it for much less than every other place for $39 at the time and a legit canon lp-e6 battery during some canon birthday for like $60 each and both of those were legit and did work fine.
Most cheap electronics especially cables are shit when purchased online (and a lot of unofficial ones in-store, but I think the only manufacturer who sells official cables in store is Apple with their Lightning cables.)
I got a 16GB SD card online for $5. Died in 6 months. Got a 64GB SD card for my T100 from Best Buy for $50, still going strong. Different brands, of course. Mine's also a Sandisk. They seem to sell reliable stuff.
I'm going to get my first Android/smartphone ever, my ISP sold me a Sony Xperia E1 for only €50 because of some member club points thingie. Even though it might be shit, I can't complain to get such a phone for that amount of money.
