Google Voice and their bullshit system right now is totally boning me.

I'm trying to set up a booty call and this voice shit is totally not reliable

e: this isn't the drunk thread

 

[JoeFu]

I was going to ask you guys about the connection problem, but I was too busy playing Borderlands 2. Glad to see it's not just me...

 

[The Faceless Master]

apparently, at least according to G+ chatter, Google Now is having issues, so JB users are affected?

 

[DXPett1]

Yeah its JB/Google Now (if you sideloaded Now on ICS it would affect you too) related. All fixed now though

 

[3phemeral]

Yup, it's gone.

 

[thespot84]

i had errors for an hour or so, seems fixed.

m friend wants to do a factory reset of their phone. I guess Verizon suggested this to her as her GPS has been flaky and her phone is running slow. She has a Droid 3.

what is the easiest way to back up her phone and apps? Titanium Backup? I've used that in the past but it seemed like it might be a little overwhelming for a non-techy person.

There is no other way to do it. She can just install the apps. Its probably just 5 apps.

Probably old but I just saw this....

Google Voice needs it's own dialer app.

Last night I gave up my real phone number to someone I didn't want. =/

This one is for you Coco:

Asus PadFone 2 to debut October 16th in simultaneous Taipei / Milan event

Taiwanese manufacturer Asus has sent out invitations for the unveiling of the PadFone 2, the successor to its ambitious PadFone product, a device capable of switching between smartphone, tablet, and laptop modes. According to a picture published by Italian site Notebook Italia, the event will take place on October 16th, running simultaneously in Taipei and Milan. Recently-leaked benchmarks suggest that the PadFone 2 will come equipped with a quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor, but not much else is known about the device — the teaser image included on the invite closely resembles the smartphone portion of the original PadFone.

Did the Padphone 1 ever go on sale? I have never seen one and it definitely felt like vapourware to me.

 

[kehs]

There goes my Nexus padfone dream. =(

Also looks like they went back to capacitive buttons? diaf asus

zomg: yeah, but like most asus products they get sold first in Taiwan. It's available in Asia, Europe retail, just not here in the states.

I'm in the UK and I never saw one on sale, was it available online only?

 

[kehs]

Oh, I don't think so, I assumed it was available at phone warehouse like places.

I think the bundled pricing was hard to swallow for people.

I never saw it there, or in any carrier shops either.

 

[BootlegSnackz]

Lol last night I saw that sign I. Error message on my phone but hadn't seen it until it was already back up and working...

Wondered why it happened but when i hit it my phone just signed right back in and started working....didn't even think of that when I read the news story early this morning...

It does. On iOS.

Told you guys the one X+/XL and whatever else is still gonna happen:

HTC has made no secret of its plans to launch Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for its leading HTC One phones, but so far it's offered nothing in the way of release dates. It looks like the manufacturer's getting closer to having its updates finalized, though, as veteran mobile site MoDaCo is reporting that the updates are due to being rolling out in October.

According to MoDaCo founder Paul O'Brien, the upcoming EE UK HTC One XL will ship with Jelly Bean, as will the rumored One X+ -- a refreshed version of the Tegra 3 version said to sport higher clock speeds. Around the same time, existing One X and One XL devices will get bumped up to Android 4.1, MoDaCo claims.

The site has no info on when the One S will get Jelly Bean, but given that it's already confirmed for an update, we're hopeful it won't be too far behind. As ever, take this with a pinch of salt until we've got updates rolling out to devices. Nevertheless, we'll be crossing our fingers come October.

BOOK IT.

 

[TheTowel]

Lets get that roll out to the evo lte

 

[kehs]

It does. On iOS.

I don't understand why the Google Voice team sucks so much. It's one of the few services that people pay google directly.

wired mic bug is fixed on epicmtd?! installing CM10!!!

they don't want to upset carriers? i think that's their excuse...

And it has a HD screen!(The first padphone was only 854x640). If Asus could make this a Nexus device it would sell loads

So how many times has it happened to you guys that you get prompted for a software update and decline because the newer version is a downgrade. Never for me on Android so far.

S4 Pro 4.7" 720p IPS screen. Impressive.

My balls are tingling.

pctx: padfone didn't have tmo bands so I have to begrudgingly skip it.

Turns out my upgrade date isn't november 1st, I was wrong, it's november 30th. So I guess I have more time to see how things unfold. Nexus plz.

[-Pyromaniac-]

4S. Just want better android phones to come out so I can decide whether I want to go back to android or just the iphone5.

mine's a day after that. i'd have to really be amazed by something to not go for the Note2

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'd have to be amazed to not get the iphone 5

So hopefully something happens between now and then. I like tough choices.

HTC will announce their 1080p 5" halo phone Verizon Droid One 5 on Dec 5.

No but seriously, where's the new nexus news?

HTC's phone is a hand kit car whereas pyro wants a hand ferrari.

WERD.

No but seriously, where's the new nexus news?

rumour initially stated "ready for the holidays" or something so the news best pop up sometime next month.

WP8 phones have gotten me all jelly for coloured phones. If we're actually getting 5 different nexuses I hope one of them has the balls to release one in something other than black/grey/white.

Totally, but I like the 820s system that has replaceable covers.

 

[Divvy]

They sort of did that with the S3. But for whatever reason, they just decided to make the colour back covers on the S3 out of even more hot plastic garbage than the regular back cover.
