    Post Durable Galaxy S6 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

    iCarez 0.2 thin temper glass works perfectly for me. It almost feels like regular plastic protector but it is supposed to be glass. I got some brand "yooloo" or something like that and it is way too narrow so I returned that immediately via Amazon prime.

    Post [Q] How do you like Lollipop?

    After many years of using Android. We should all know by now not to rely on developers catching up with Google updates. If you depend on small apps in the Nexus World then you are playing the game wrong. You are better off with iOS or even TouchWiz.

I use this device as my home internet and the difference is night and day between MJE and newer NC2/NC4. Just wanted to share and thank...

    Post Difference of NC4

    Thank you for the reply. So I am on Beanstowns latest NC4 ROM with NC2 firmware. I was curious if this setup may be less optimal than 100% NC4. I don't like to flash ROMs, I just need to be rooted with Wanam Xposed

    Thread Difference of NC4

    Apology if I sound like a noob, but the more I read the more confused I get. What is the difference between these two scenarios? Which one is preferred? 1. Take OTA all the way to NC4, use Towrlroot. 2. From any rooted rom, flash Beanstown NC4 ROM and ODIN updated NC2 firmware.

    I came from 4.3 stock. Then rooted via vroot, SS 3.65, followed instruction step by step except step 8. So I omitted SS 3.72. No mod at all.

    Thank you (and others who helped). BTW I reset within the OS (Safestrap 3.72 was no installed) which caused the soft brick. Be aware!!! I flash firmware again using Odin and the phone booted (no data reset). I am glad I didn't brick the phone. Also I immediately ran speedtest and got 3 rounds...

    $#%T. I just did a factory data reset, and now the phone is stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Custom" with "recovery booting on the top left". What do I do? Did I soft brick the phone? All I did was factory data reset.

    Can I simply flash mje modem? I downloaded the modem file but is hesitant. I have flashed countless roms but never just radio modem. Anyone have pointers? Directions?

    What is "tether provisioning hack"? Does it mean the built in wifi tether (not FoxFi or some other app) will bypass checking of tether subscription? Specifically for those with unlimited data. Can anyone confirm this?

    S5 has abandoned Sony sensors right? That would explain OP. Maybe new Samsung sensors are just not as good as Sony's. We all know megapixel is secondary anyway....

    Post Buy N7 or wait for N8?

    Well we just have to agree to disagree. My Nexus 7 definitely outperforms the S4 and Note 3 which I currently still use. "Laggy" is not a WOR I would use to describe Nexus 7. Quite the opposite since I feel it is one of the smoothest Android device available.

    Post Buy N7 or wait for N8?

    1st of all the Nexus 7 FHD technically has a lower clocked Snapdragon 600. All the latest and greatest Qualcomm SoC are just evolution and higher clocked Snapdragon S4 Pro anyway. The biggest performance gain is on the radio side which is meaningless for those of us using WiFi only tablet. Yes...

    Post Buy N7 or wait for N8?

    The performance difference between Nexus 5's Snapdragon 800 and Nexus 7's lower binned Snapdragon 600 is essentially marginal and negligible. They are on the same die size. Real performance gain will come from next die shrink.

    I got myself a G2 to play with hoping it can replace my Note 3 but I am dissapointed to find out it is stuck on 4.2.2 and yet FoxFi does not work at all. I guess I am stuck with Note 3 even if though G2 gas the better footprint...,sigh.,. Verizon.,.

    Post Assurion is Backordered for G2 replacements

    They said 3 to 7 days. This is my 1st Asurion experience so I just took their words. I asked if there was any thing similar I can get but they said ball they have are lower end which I think is BS. I couldn't believe they are okay if a customer like me out there without a phone.

    No case here and still in prestine condition. I do baby my phones and make sure my pockets are clean with no key or sand. The faux leather back really helps. I understand why people use cases. I just hate using cases.
