Search results

I'm addicted to tech, so I think it was a fair comparison.

It's just that the constant “use the search” type of replies are about as effective as the war on drugs. You can take a dealer or user off the streets, but that will not do anything to actually impact the level of drug use or distribution. Likewise, there will always be people who don't use the...

Which will direct then to all of the threads with the same content, of which they will choose the wrong one to use. This will result in endless..... Never mind. I don't know why I'm even bothering.

Why would you post that comment with the hope of stopping repeat posts without linking to the original post you referenced?

Thank you for the quick reply. Do I need root for this to work?

I tried looking through the various development threads, but I'd be ready to purchase the Nexus 5 by the time I finished sifting through them all. What I would like to know is how I can set my menu buttons to auto-hide or if there is a way to just hide them completely. The reason being that...

Just an update for me.... Turns out I'm just oblivious. I was trying to book using the NookHD files and not the NookHDplus files... Hana. When I had the right bootfiles on my SD card my Nook immediately booted to CWM. I felt like a moron once I realized my error. It wasn't until I went to unlock...

I'll fire up my laptop running Ubuntu later on tonight and give what you suggested a shot and then let you know if I was able to replicate your success.

I did the same thing initially and then when I fixed it, still no dice.

Yeah I've tried about 40 times so far and have no had any luck with the three SD cards I've tried. I'm thinking of trying an 8gb Patriot mem SD card I have in an old phone or even a 32gb SanDisk. Obviously I wouldn't want to make a 32gb card a permanent boot card, so that would just be temporary...

I'm curious how quickly I should see the clockwork screen upon booting up in order to save me some time trying to boot and reboot over again? Should the very first Nook screen popup with the little Adobe Systems disclaimer below it before the clockwork screen, or should the clockwork screen be...

Alright, well here is the update on my previous posts. I got a text message today saying I'm at risk of losing my data services for violation of the ToS. The exact amount that my phone reports for my data use is 2.45GB. Even though I would not usually use this much data on a normal month, I...

Yeah that would be crazy fast for EDGE. I get ~15mbps down and ~3mbps up normally when I have the H. So my getting .25mbps down and up would indicate something is wrong.

Yeah I should have mentioned that. When I'm getting my slow speeds, I'm still showing an H for HSPA+.

Also thought I would do a small update on the throttling thing. As I said earlier, I'm at 2.5GB and it seemed I wasn't being throttled. Anyways, my Speed tests have really slowed down to only .25mbps down and up with 60ms ping. I called Simple Mobile and the rep I spoke with told me that...

Yep. Wife and I are full-time students with a 16 month old daughter. Money is tight, so I need to cut costs where possible. No sense in paying more for the same thing PLUS being locked into a contract. Truth is, with prepaid I have the option to cancel if I can't afford my phone any longer, but...

Just an update, but I'm at 2.5GB of data so far (over a GB in the last 24hrs) and there is no sign of throttling. Still getting my normal speeds. I'll keep pounding away with Google Music. When I get closer to the last day of my month I'll go ahead and download a larger file from Dropbox...

Which root method did you use?

On the original Kindle Fire I know that root did break this feature, but I'm wondering if that is still the case with the Kindle Fire HD (8.9" if it matters). The only reason I want to root is to use the Google Play Store for obvious reasons, and to add a lot of the Google apps such as Google...

I ported my old number from Boost Mobile and it wasn't an issue. In fact, it was all said and done in about 45 minutes, including the time it took me to get in touch with a CSR at Simple Mobile. I might give Solavei a shot though if things don't pan out with SM. Right now I'm streaming tons of...

Right now I'm at 1.09gb for the month. Next payment is due on the 5th, so I'll see if I can use the heck out of the mobile network over the next few days just to see what happens.

I thought I would report back since I started this thread about Simple Mobile. I'm currently using them on my Nexus 4 and have been since around the 5th. With speed tests I'm pulling ~15mb down and ~3mb up with 60-120ms latency. I've used a total of 588mb according to my phones mobile data...

I'm just wondering if the reasons that this section doesn't exist is because the questions for the 7" tablet will generally also apply to the 8.9"? Or is this just something that has been overlooked? Just ordered one off Amazon for 200 dollars (offer code + $50 gift card for the credit card...

OK thanks, I'll give that a try.

What are my backup alternatives then to keep all those settings? I've only ever rooted one device before and I thought Titanium Backup (which requires root) was one of the only backup methods for this sort of thing? Or is there something I'm missing?

I'm sorry if this has been posted already, but searching on my phone for this answer has been less than ideal, so I've resorted to making a post. I'm hoping someone can link me to a thread that has this available. I'm looking to root my phone, but I've already got it setup the way I like and I...

You know, there are other good reasons that people got this phone besides the dev support. The thing is a powerful phone at a killer deal, and should get Google updates hot off the press. I may root my phone, but that's not why I got the Nexus 4, because there are plenty of other phones that can...

I got my case today. I ordered it through Amazon since I get free two day shipping, and I'm really really impressed with this case. Its really high quality. It fits perfectly and made the phone seem even more like a premium product that it already did. I can see why some might be concerned about...

If this was asked already I apologize because I read the whole thread. I know you said you will still get OTA updates just fine with this, but do those updates then break root? Or will this retain root for the life of the device assuming you never do any other mods in the future? Thanks and I...

Well, I went ahead and did it and then checked the network type and it showed as HSPA+:15. I guess you were onto something there. Also ease forgive my HSPA newbiness. I'm coming to the N4 from a Samsung Galaxy Prevail on Boost Mobile. I was just haply if that phone started up and actually...

Alright, I'll start downloading an album of mine from Google music and see if anything changes and then report back.

I just checked and it said that I'm getting HSPA:10. Based on your info, that is not HSPA+. I am indoors though, and I can use Wifi here. I suppose I'll have to see how it does when I'm out and about and not stuck in the house studying for finals. :( Unless of course getting HSPA vs HSPA+ is...

So the H = H+ found in Roms? It's just for visual effect then? If so, how can I tell if I'm getting HSPA+ 42 and not just HSPA+ 21? Or perhaps I'm not understanding how it is actually implemented?

I thought I've seen others post here that they are able to see an H+ on their phones. Can anyone confirm this?

I should note that I'm actually running through Simple Mobile which uses the T-Mobile network on my Nexus 4. So far, I'm able to get the H to show up, and I get around 6mbps down and .5 up using Speedtest. However, this is lower than I would expect from HSPA+, not to mention I am not getting a +...

I feel sorry for anyone with a boring enough life to follow your directions. You typed enough to have summarized it all anyways. Next I bet you'll tell him to go read the whole Play Store orders and shipping thread. LOL

Thats it... I'm going to cancel my order and just go order an unlocked iPhone 5.

Actually, you can get a Simple Mobile SIM card on Amazon for like 69¢ shipped.

Wow.... My Nexus 4 was supposed to arrive on the 16th, but UPS lost my package. Now the second one I ordered was supposed to show up today, and my tracking number is showing that UPS doesn't even have the package yet. This is rediculous.

What?

Yeah, it's been frustrating. I had to order another one in the new frenzy, and it looks like I'll be waiting a few weeks for it to arrive. I have no faith that UPS will find my lost/stolen package. That screenshot is from today, and the tracking info hasn't been updated since the 19th.

Please... Look at my luck with UPS... At least you know yours will arrive tomorrow.

I wonder if anyone has actually read every single post in this thread?

I'm mostly upset that I had to go through this frenzy more than once due to UPS and their incompetence. I ordered a 8:44am PST on the 13th, and my phone was to be delivered on the 16th. Well, when it was at my local sort facility it somehow got lost after being scanned onto the truck. Fast...

I got the 16gb ordered today by clicking proceed, but I got the 8gb by using the tab and then "enter repeatedly" method.

Finally got an 8gb on order at 3:12 PST. Not sure if I should also cancel my 16gb order. I think I'm going to wait and see what's up first. I'm about to call Google to tell them to refund me for my first phone I ordered on the 13th that UPS lost on delivery day.

Shipping time frame for the 8gb is now 6-7 weeks... Up from 4-5 weeks. WHAT THE FUC|<! I actually got an order in, but it was a 16gb by mistake and now I can't get the 8gb to go through so I can cancel my 16gb.... =| I would just let both come and sell the extra on eBay, but I don't feel like...

Not sure if I even want the phone anymore. I'd almost rather avoid the headaches, and pay more for an unlocked GS3 and root it after the fact. I prefer physical buttons anyways... I dunno. I may give up totally after today and morph into an Apple zombie.

I wonder why it says 1-2 weeks for the 16gb, and 4-5 weeks for the 8gb... Lame...

About time they acknowledge us. Also, sorry for re posting the same thing others did. I got tree'd by all of them.
