Are there any good apps similar to Adobe Illustrator? I already have photoshop, but I prefer Illustrator.

Hey lookit this:

 

[vdlow]

I'm trying to understand that +/- button on the back.

 

[zedge]

I'm trying to understand that +/- button on the back.

Volume likely. Kinda makes sense in a way. Interesting.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It makes sense during phone calls...it's kind of stupid for everything else.

 

[vdlow]

It makes sense during phone calls...it's kind of stupid for everything else.

Exactly what I thought. There must be something else. And I actually don't change the volume during calls very often.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

pretty much. I'm going to guess that this wasn't done on purpose but rather because they had to because of the internals or something.

 

[kinggroin]

I want the ZU

 

[Courage]

When should I expect the HTC One Google Edition to be up on the Google Play store tonight? I fear they're gonna be sold out by tomorrow morning.

 

[VanMardigan]

Unless they ordered a tiny amount from HTC, I doubt there will be a sellout on a phone that's $650.

Consumers in the US just aren't conditioned to drop a lot of money on phones.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I wouldn't underestimate enthusiasts.

Back when the device was just a rumor, I remember that GSMArena sources told that Google would sell only 50k Ones.

 

[Courage]

Yeah, that's why I'm worried.

 

[Bboy AJ]

anyone know if I need to/should wipe to go from CM 10.1 RC to 10.1 stable?

They're on the same track so no need. It's not like going from 4.2 to 4.3.

 

[shinshoryuken]

Yeah, that's why I'm worried.

pssssss...buy the Dev edition with 64gb for 50 bucks more or get the ATT version subsidized.

S-OFF and change the CID to superCID and flash the google edition RUU....now you have a Google edition that has twice the internal memory and OTA.

 

[Nakazato]

Hey android gaf,

Im looking to abuse tmobiles unlimited data since my internet isnt so hot right now. Is there anyway to hook up my GF's S4 to hdmi to my TV ?? Could you guys point me in the right direction.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Just got a tablet and am wondering some good games available for free for them. Any recommendations GAF?

Rise of the Blobs

Wind-Up Knight

You'll need an MHL adapter cable. S4 fortunately supports MHL 2.0 and so you don't need to deal with annoying dongles which also connect the phone's charger in some weird Frankenstein arrangement like on my Note II. Just one cable from S4 to HDMI input on TV.

 

[Groof]

Hey lookit this:

Are they ditching the hardware home key?

 

[Nicktendo86]

Are they ditching the hardware home key?

According to the leaked shot from ages ago, yes. Going software buttons.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Are they ditching the hardware home key?

Looks like it, but they are moving the volume buttons to the back. One step forwards and two steps back...

 

[Groof]

#teamsoftbutt 4 lyfe yall, this is good news. Haven't even been a day without my N4 and I'm missing them already.
The volume buttons on the back are a weird touch, but in a market where phones are all starting to look the same they need something to differentiate themselves with, so I guess this is LG's try... but I'm more interested in that oval light ring that lies between the buttons.

I just hope, if this is the base for the n5, Google tell them to out the buttons back to the left side. I'm sorry but putting them on he back makes no sense whatsoever, even when talking on the phone as my fingers rest on the volume rocker!

Looks like fingerprint reader that you see on laptops.

You don't know though! Might be the most ergonomic thing in all of history!

Or not. Either way I would rather they be on the side too though.

What are these even good for? Security?

Where do I buy the dev's edition?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Those laptop fingerprint readers are actually not that secure. It's pretty easy to fool them, which is why nobody uses them for real security applications.

 

[gcubed]

So, the x is basically the RAZR M with a 720 screen and slightly updated internals. If the leaked picture is accurate it even looks like one

 

[DrFunk]

http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41599

Make sure your carrier supports the right 3G bands. LTE can be used for Tmo/ATT, but only ATT 3G is supported

 

[brotkasten]

That's truly a 12.5 billion dollar phone.

 

[Sqrt_minus_one]

That's truly a 12.5 billion dollar phone.

7 billion person phone

At least that's what I think the hello from the 1 billion that are not internet connected meant

 

[zomgbbqftw]

That's truly a 12.5 billion dollar phone.

Well to be fair Google got $3bn for the boxset division so $9.5bn phone.

 

[VanMardigan]

When are the Google edition phones showing up in the store?

 

[zomgbbqftw]

When are the Google edition phones showing up in the store?

Today supposedly, and according to my source at SMC, along with Android 4.3, let's see what happens when Mountain View wakes up in a few hours...

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Well to be fair Google got $3bn for the boxset division so $9.5bn phone.

I actually wonder if Google purposely isn't letting Motorola release phones which would be competitive with their OEM partners.

 

[Courage]

Would 12 EST be a reasonable assumption? I'm gonna have to buy this in the bathroom of my job using a Lumia 920 #androidedication

 

[belvedere]

So are the Google Edition variants going to ever be sold through carriers?

No way I can pay $650 for one of these.

 

[Courage]

Nope.

 

[SimleuqiR]

No. What would they gain out of that?

Carriers don't want your phones still getting updates a year plus into you owning them.

If vanilla Android doesn't get too bloated in the next year or two, these phones should be getting updates long time coming with those specs.

 

[The Faceless Master]

you're paying more than that for a phone by just being on a big 3 carrier. they just bleed if from you over a 24 month period.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Well I've had that theory for a while as have a lot of people in the City. Google need the OEMs as much as they need Google. Android is a truly symbiotic ecosystem. Without Samsung, Sony, HTC, Huawei, ZTE and others Android turns to shit so why risk angering them for hardware profits that may or may not come to them. Look at how quickly the bottom fell out of Windows 8 tablets after the release of Surface, and the Surface division doesn't even receive special treatment from the Windows division, they are treated like any other OEM and have to pay the same licence fees.

Notice pctx has gone quiet? Hope he is hanging his head in shame.

Somebody's got a new logooooo:

Motorola Mobility is making changes to its well-known brand this week, switching to a new, all-lower-case typeface that's both thinner and softer than the classic bold and italic "MOTOROLA" that has been used for decades. The famous "M" badge persists, though it'll be presented in colorful new versions. The tagline "a Google company" now appears below the logo as well. The logo first appeared on the site of Techweek, a technology conference Motorola is co-sponsoring in Chicago later this week.

The last time the company tweaked its image was when it split with Motorola Solutions, moving from a monochrome "M" to a bright red one — by all appearances, that's now being sidelined for a gentler image that dovetails better with parent company Google. The move comes at a key moment in Motorola's history: the American-made X Phone is coming later this year, a major multi-carrier flagship device and likely the first Moto hardware to be released with significant input from Mountain View.
