Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Verizon is rolling out ICS to the Droid 4. Add another phone to the 4.0+ pile.

I'm about to drop Sprint. These 3G speeds are laughable.

I saw CyanogenMod 9 is finalized. Does it officially support Droid 3 now or not? Can't find anything.
To protect or lock installed apps, meaning you can't open them without a password or pattern. For example: if you don't want someone to read your texts or see the phone gallery or open your browser or GMail.

It works fine but it seems it drains the battery a little faster.
Having a bit of an issue with wifi tethering on my GalaxyS2 and hoping someone here can help out. I'm lost without being able to tether my iPad 
It has been working absolutely fine for the past 2 weeks but I woke up yesterday and tries to use it but, no matter what I try, I can't get it to show up as a wifi connection on my iPad or Kindle. The phone *says* that it's broadcasting a wifi hotspot, but nothing shows up (and the couple of times it has come up it has said unable to connect).
I've tried factory resetting my phone, tried installing a new rom,a new modem firmware, but nothing works.
I'm on CM9, on Orange in the UK and using a Galaxy S2.
Any ideas?

Haven't noticed this, but people say that bluetooth tethering is more battery efficient - try that and see if it works.
Hmm, it's worth a go - will give it a try when I get back from work. Thanks!

Have you tried deleting it from your iPad and then trying again? It might be trying to use a configuration which the phone isn't broadcasting anymore.

I've chosen the option to reset all network settings on the iPad - I presume that's similar to your suggestion. Or do I have to specifically tell the iPad to 'forget' the connection? Sort of new to iPad stuff, so sorry if that's a dumb question!

There any reason why the past few days my maps app has been the top battery user at 43%? My phone has been dying quicker and I keep finding maps at the top until I force close it...
I think that the more important piece of information in this article is that an international carrier branded device has the possibility of getting an updated to the newest OS faster then than a faux-Nexus device on Verizon.
I shall defecate in a box and ship it to Verizon HQ

Just found out about Maxathon browser that lets you play flash stuff in the background. This is a GODSEND. It keeps playing if you switch tabs and even if you switch apps.
Can believe i missed on this for this long.

I would love to know the answer to this as well.
This browser also burns battery like mad on the simplest web pages. I really like the ergonimic though.

I am not rooted.
Think so?
Will give a try if needed!
Thanks! Will try this when I get my new phone.
Interesting, but yet, not a very informative review overall. Sadly, the only two topics touched on with any semblance of depth were Project Butter and Google Now. Honestly, I was hoping for a more substantively critical review rather than a shallow overview of the stereotyped design philosophies driving iOS and Android, which is now a dated, and largely untrue, comparison.
Also, anyone have any idea what he means by this:
I'm confused. Every Android phone I've used alerts you of a text right in the notification tray.
Does he mean an instant text popup? That's something that default Android does not do that SMS apps can add. I don't know if the iPhone does.
So I went from Sony's ICS to CM9 and though it was a little better it wasn't as much of an improvement as I had hoped.
Now I found something called Polish Blood Project, which ships Jelly Bean and tries to stay as close as possible to Google's original open source code (AOSP). They even ship the good old Music app I was looking for a few days ago. No custom apps, launchers or any other nonsense like that...
Anyway, this is amazing! It's exactly what I wanted out of an Android distribution (stock Google Android), and it feels significantly faster than both CM9 and stock ICS.

That guy is fucking retarded hahaha.
What?
what?
What the fuck magic land is this guy living in? Half the restauraunts I go to don't have online menus and no one has info on road delays unless it's a pretty bad accident, even then info like that is hard to find out and collect in a simple "where should I avoid driving today?" or whatever.
Maybe he means to say: "Why don't I get a pop up like I'm use to on the iPhone?"
Yep, now that I think of it, I believe you guys are correct. I don't know why you would list that as a negative though...most iPhone users I know were happy when the iPhone notification shade allowed them turn off the obtrusive pop-up alerts.
I have an HTC Evo Shift and recently bought a 32 GB SanDisk SD card. The phone and extra storage work fine most of the time, but I get periodic warnings that it can't recognize my SD card. When this happens, I just tap the warning, the phone does some tinkering, and everything works fine again.
Is this a common problem? Is there anything I need to do to make sure my SD card always registers?

Just an update: mine shipped yesterday. Check vizios site again.
Do you know if it runs MLB.tv and NFL rewind?
he's bannned, but his did ship
So based on the recent reviews, the Samsung Note 10.1 is almost a turd of a device. Previous turds that I was excited about were Asus Transformer Prime, Acer 700 and Transformer Infinity....all were mega turds.
Now to upcoming tablets, Sony Xperia tab is supposed to come next month and Archos Gen 10, announcement later this month. If these two turn out to be turds...well then Androids tablets have been given enough chances.
