    I have no idea what you're trying to say. Corning officially states that it is more resilient to drops that GG3, period. Whether or not you believe them is your opinion.

    Thread S5 Developer Edition ROM with HD voice support?

    Anybody with a S5 DE have HD voice working? I called VZW and had them turn it on on my account, but I don't see anything in the Mobile Networks settings to enable it. I'm still running the stock ROM that came with the DE phone, so I'm thinking that I need to get a newer ROM to enable HD voice.

    Thread [Q] got a new VZW Moto X - root first or OTA to 4.4 then root?

    Hi All, I just got a new X yesterday and it's running 4.2.2. I heard there's a root method for 4.4 so I'm wondering if it's better to root now, then flash a stock 4.4 ROM or take the OTA to 4.4 and then root?
