What can I do to find out which app is using the wifi like crazy causing my Nexus 10 to die in two days without ever turning the screen on? All the use is under "Android OS" and I've tried to turn off everything I can think of that was sucking power (Currents for example) but still was not able to nail it down.

Hey AndroidGAF,
Considering moving away from the whole Microsoft ecosystem and coming to the Android finally. Would it be possible to move my sim from the Lumia 920 to a Nexus 4 even though the 920 is LTE?

You will need to call AT&T when you get your phone. The LTE plan and the 3G plan are actually different plans entirely, so they need to shift you over.

But they'd be able to without a fee right?
Yep, won't be a problem. They're happy to take your money.

Good. You guys think the Nexus 4 is the best choice?

its a good choice if you aren't too worried about camera quality.
and happy with HSPA+. Might be best to wait till MWC in 2 weeks before you dive in.

Hmm, what do you dislike about Lumias? Is it the OS?

pretty much lol. Android >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Windows phone as of today. One is still kind of in its early days, the other one is already full of established awesome.
Plus the Nexus 4 has stock android on it. That's always good times.

Chrome for Android may soon have a Dev channel for avant-garde web viewers
You can already get Nightly, Aurura, Stable, Beta versions of Firefox on Android, so Chrome should release all of theirs.

If you unlock your 920 and sell it, you should have enough money to get a N4 without losting much money.
If you wait for a ATT Galaxy S4, you probably have to wait till June, May best case. HTC M7 should come out 2 months before that. Althought you can get an unlocked Galaxy S3 for 500-ish, which is still better than N4 IMO.
Sony ZL should be out very soon, maybe less than a month. But I doubt you can get it under 600.

not like AT&T or T-Mobile are rolling in DAT LTE plus T-Mo's HSPA+ is pretty fast.
average battery life is bad now?
fuck no, get the Nexus 4. you can get a better device, but that would mean either a contract or paying twice the price. don't let a few shortcomings scare you.

I agree with Faceless. Just because you won't necessarily get the absolute best phone doesn't mean you shouldn't upgrade. $350 will get you a nice, new device that's top of the line. Maybe the Galaxy S4 will come out tomorrow but I can guarantee it won't be $300 off contract. It might even be $300 with a contract.
Don't let "best" stop you from achieving "better," especially when "better" will cost you far, far less. It's a way better choice than sticking with the Lumia, IMO.

Well I'm gonna be using it with my existing ATT contract. Maybe I should just go for the Note II or S3.
I mean, are you just desperate to switch to Android right now?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
This is the bigger thing. Unless you are desparate now just isn't the time to buy an Android phone sans Nexus 4 or maybe the GNote II. At this point you should wait for the 2013 flagships from Samsung, Sony, HTC, LG etc...
LG Note--erm, Optimus Pro spotted:

Sounds good. What's a good guess of how much will those be off contract? 700?
The Faceless Master
Member
naaaaah, menu/back are swapped.
and no wacom or are they just out of wacom?
700 is a good bet.
Oh so this is where the Lenovo K900 screen come from. Does it have a pen though? I hope Verizon doesn't call it Intuition 2.
LG really gets the worst names.

Jesus, that's as shameless as you can get from a hardware design standpoint.

So the HTC M4 leaked and it resembles the OLD render that was apparently deemed fake of the M7 rather than the reliable M7 casing leak.
If HTC has managed to pull a shoopdawhoop fakeout I'll give them props on it. Or maybe they just look very different for some reason.

I don't want to hear anything out of you except X phone rumours!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So I stand by the fact that I deem Life is Magic as the best game I've ever played on an Android device.
PS: I also hearby state that all mobile games should have at least the option for server side saving.

What kind of game is that? I bought super hexagon on ios a few weeks ago and I loved it (first digital I've ever bought), but I saw that there were N7 issues for android (lol android).
I need something to keep me busy during down time.

Interesting that you ask Coper since I liked the game so much I made a thread about it over in gaming!

Oh the m4 mystery was solved by the way. That's just some random phone for china apparently. So no shoopdawhoop by HTC. The M7 leak is legit.

so i was looking at the brief history of an app/game that seems to be all the rage on Instagram nowadays... i mean, seriously, i only found out about it because of Instagram...
What's The Word?
anyway, it was released sometime last year on iOS, and i dunno when it happened exactly, but it shot up in popularity on iOS at the end of the year and then ... some other companies launched similar games on Android
and now that the developers of the iOS app have finally made an Android version, there are already three more popular similar games on Android, and one of those has even been ported to iOS recently!
anyway, what is my point? it looks like some devs will lose money if they aren't prepared to support popular platforms. some other dev out there who wants the money left on the table can make something similar on Android when they see a popular app on iOS and cut the check!
of course this is really conditional and won't work on everything, especially if the app is based on community, like Instagram, or branding like major games, but some devs out there need to watch out, they may lose the first mover advantage...
