The Android thread. Questions, comments, help, etc

Running Paranoid Android on my S3. Android is a great OS. Nothing against iOS, which is what I came from seeking Android’s freedom to customize and fuck up my phone as I see fit.

Anybody have a Kindle Fire HD modded to run stock Android yet?

Why does Chrome lag like crazy on my phone?

How is your connection? Mine only lags when switching between 3G and 4G networks, especially if I have 5 or more tabs open.

On Wifi its buttery smooth always.

Because Chrome sucks.

The only browser that didn’t run as slow as molasses on my RAZR was Dolphin.

I really like Dolphin but a few updates ago I switched to Chrome which so far seems faster and more stable.

Got a purple GS4 on the way. Just gotta port my current number over.

I feel like the bitch in my av. Despite being up to date in most aspects, other than having a HTC Mogul years ago, I never had a top tier phone. The GS4 is replacing a HTC Desire C, of which it’s literally 4x the phone.

Why are employees at carrier stores so dumb? Are they just acting that way to see if they can trick me into more sales or something? How could they be so wrong about sooo much stuff?

Note3 announcement on wednesday!!! Sony honami announcement as well. Ifa is pretty damn exciting as far as cell phones go. My enthusiasm for the galaxy gear has died. Ive convinced myself its going to be completely ugly and completely overpriced.

Are you getting the new Note Morph?

i’d say 75% yes. the note2 has been awesome but i want that snapdragon 800 (looking at basically 4x more power than the chip in the note 2) and 1080p display. will have to pay full price for it so i don’t know how much i could get for the note 2 or i could keep it and have a really expensive backup.

have they figured out a way to connect a galaxy to mac easily without rooting? i tried kies…comp doesnt recognize it

Androidauthority is reporting a rumor that the note 3 only has 2.5 gb of ram (not 3gb). This along with the lack of image stabilization in the camera is giving me some pause now :frowning:

Couldn’t wait for the new Nexus phone so bought a Nexus 4 to hold me down for only $199! This phone is so nice I felt like I scammed Google at that price.

dammit microsoft just bought nokia for 7.2 billion. there goes my dream of an android lumia phone with pureview camera :frowning:

is google making this phone?

i wish samsung was making the nexus

Maybe I shouldn’t ask questions, but why does Google sell the Nexus phones for so cheap unlocked while other phones are like $600-700?

Regardless, I’m buying a Nexus 5 next month… If I don’t stick with the family plan with my parents, I’m going prepaid.

What’s the point when there’s a Nexus Edition of the Galaxy S4 already.

there is? Didn’t know that
