How is it it physically possible you're getting this many defective phones Liquidis. I refuse to believe it any more.

Has no one mentioned anything like this before? I'm breaking new ground here. It's freaking brilliant. I wonder if the recent GVoice update would have anything to do with this.
Expectations higher than the tower of Babel?

so... basically... integrate Google Voice?
because i don't think they would be allowed to do that with a number that isn't theirs...

Hangout would integrate SMS. So it would work with numbers that aren't theirs. You don't need GVoice to receive SMS from a GVoice user.

seriously, when people say the Galaxy S4 has microstutters, they mean like how if you sit there and analyze the phone while you're using it, you'll notice lag once every 15 minutes maybe instead of once every hour or so with an HTC One. if you're having performance that bad... i dunno man... must be some rare earth magnets under your house fucking up your phones.

what i'm saying is ... with a Google Voice number, Google is the telephone company of record in control of that number. they are allowed to send SMS messages originating from that number. if they were to send an SMS from your number when your number is controlled by .. say AT&T for example .. i don't think that would be standards compliant... it would be forging an SMS.
Well what if it just sent it from your phone instead of from their end? Which is how iMessage works anyway, right?

has calmed down a bit.
Some folks are more sensitive to lag and stuttering than others. Plus if you only use android, you would acclimate to it anyway.
I would be open to that if those same people noticed the stutters and lag in iOS. But they speak as if they don't. They certainly never mention it.
His "S4" could very easily be a Star knockoff:

Agreed. Both iOS and Android lag. They're both on par these days. There's no disparity anymore.
It's why I'm using my Rogers Sim in it:/
I told them to unlock it and they did. I'm a loyal customer.
Right. Telus orders knock offs from Amazon and sells them up here in Canada. Never knew that. Thanks for the pro tip.

even though android has greatly improved (at least stock has, and using custom launchers, there's still some lag in some skins), I STILL notice a difference between iphone/android. Iphone is very much 1 to 1 in movements. Android has greatly improved but it's still a slight difference. More than slight if you're using a phone with a heavy skin.
For instance I used the GS4 and I did notice some stutter, I then installed nova launcher on the store unit and boom no more lag for the most part. Not 1:1 but very close to it. It's like some people can notice 60fps in games more than others.
I think CloudSMS does that as a way to get SMS texts to show up on a tablet.
Sorry for the shit pic, taken with my N4:
You should quote those, and I thought your N4 stopped working?

Are those real wood panels? I can't tell.This is a really big picture:
As with everything else Samsung, it's just a fake texture pattern on the box.

hahah it's funny because it's true
I have two Nexus 4s. One is mine and the other I bought my gf. It's hers that crapped out this time.

no one is this cursed. I think god is just telling you to get an iphone and live happy man.
To think I have a PowerMac G5, 8 Blondi iMacs and a MacBook Pro but when it comes to iOS I find it dreadful.

You can't escape fate. You'll learn to love it. Or be destined with screwed up phones forever. Or you can just wait for...dundundun.

Seriously. I'd give up after 3...

Idk about that my Galaxy Nexus would reboot or bug out at least once or twice a day IIRC vs my solid as fuck current driver Note II on a Custom Rom
both on verizon
What's this mean?
Guess I didn't lurk hard enough back in the day.
I think that the X Phone is my only choice.

never heard of it, unless you mean FON. You spelled it wrong. XFON.
I wouldn't even put up with that shit after 1 replacement. But I guess I have the benefit of actually not minding iOS so I can take or leave android the day it pisses me off or get bored of it or something. And vice versa.
I don't like Safari, I prefer Chrome. I don't like the iOS keyboard on such tiny screens. The screens are too small. I also like being able to drag and drop files, HDMI out and more options.
Display, brightness, data on/off are all in the settings. No quick toggle is dreadful.

Chrome on iOS gets features before chrome on android lol.
Agree with the rest though, but not big deals for me. That and I expect iOS7 and iOS8 to change pretty much everything software wise. But yeah the main reason I use android more often than not is screen size. Once you get a glimpse of a bigger screen it's so hard to go back. Still waiting for a stock android device that is small and bezel-less and has great battery. That will be the day all phones become obsolete. Nexus 5 pls.

Wait, just saw this.
If you do it correctly, flashing is not buggy. And even if something did, you'd be stupid to not back up. :lol

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It's semi worth noting that Debian released their latest stable version this weekend in Debian 7 code name wheezy. A ton of Linux shit is all based on Debian so it's nice to finally get a stable version upgrade. That usually only happens every few years.
