Who in here knows much about cell signal boosters?
Bought a house, moved in last Thursday. I was judging cell reception by what I was getting on the property (5+ acres), and never checked inside the house. There's two rows of really big pines that ostensibly exist for privacy and to reduce road noise, which is great. However, they totally destroy my signal. I go from 4 bars of 4G to 1 bar of... something, when I move behind that tree line.
There is a spot on the roof that should have a clear shot out of there, so would probably install it there.
Right now, looking between this, and this.
The amazon reviews aren't very helpful, as one would imagine.
Makes me miss the WiFi calling/data I got with T-Mobile.

Computer Science, I suppose.
Call your provider and see if they can set you up with something. People have had success with getting them to give you a powercell for free to boost your signal to something acceptable. It's worth a shot.

So what the hell happened to KLP? They just changed the name?

Isn't there meant to be a conference today where the Sony 'honami' and Samsung Note 3 will be announced ? Any details?

I had this countless times on my Galaxy Nexus. I thought of it as part of the pure Android experience.
Should be tomorrow considering that is the start of IFA 2013.

Damn. Yeah just had a look around and all the sites I saw mentioning the date were going by a converted US date ...

I love the design of the 4.4 homepage even more. Can't wait to see it on a phone.
Right. I've got an HTC One. I fucking love it. However, there's one small problem - I'm running out of space, and theres no SD slot.
So, I need a solution. Is there any way to access another location via WiFi/home network and have the android system treat it as storage?
For example, if I booted up an emulator I could go onto the file browser and navigate to it as if it was removable storage and load a game.
My phone is rooted. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, it's nice. Apart from fucking Youtube, all Google services look better and better (even though I hate a lot of their functionality changes in Search, Maps and Gmail).
Looking across the smartphone landscape today, who would've thought that at some point in history MS would be the company that leads a whole industry forward with its design...

I don't know about loading games. It depends on the emulator you're using, but I'm guessing they're all coded to only load from local storage, and that read/write speeds would get in the way of loading from a NAS, for example.
However, there are plenty of solutions for storing other files. Astro and most other good file managers will let you add network locations.
Yeah, I use Astro a lot already. Well, at least I used to - ES File Manager is much, much better. All my music is streamed from my PC too, same for video.
the issue is games. Android native ones take up a surprising amount, and I've ripped a whole load of PS1 games for epsxe too.
Cool thought I was going crazy.
Got the perfect solution for you!

the adapter is small (smaller size of a quarter in US apparently), just a bit bigger than a micro sd card and can fit up to 64gb
They're now taking pre orders for non backers, the colors come in black, white, orange and metallic silver (perfect for the HTC One!).
Compatible with these devices:
Its 12$ plus 2$ shipping, so about £9.
Comes with this as well
App.net:Twitter::Google+:Facebook
Despite the cute analogy, it's a Twitter clone that was made because they hate that Twitter is basically shutting down 3rd party development and becoming commercially-focused. So it's like a nerd's Twitter that you pay for.
It's not shipped to backers yet as they are starting to ship now, so non backers will have to wait a few weeks /1 month. But yeh, seems like a great device. Getting one for my HTC One. Reason I chose it over the S4.
It probably will impact battery life a bit though, but probably a negligible amount.
? I'm confused

something like twitter, but more open.
So it's a series of apps designed around a stream of social media updates? How does something like pocket (in their directory) work with it?

Alright so what's new in android today, just got back from work. I read about kitkat, or at least I only read that there will be a 4.4 named kitkat. Which once again makes me believe 5.0 is going to be the bees fuckinf neez if they keep pushing it out.
Also are they paying for that name? any details on it? Nexus rumours? FILL ME IN.

it's an ad-free social network API designed around not screwing with 3rd party devs and end users. it's not popular because ... well, there's not enough reason to switch from twitter and also they charge devs and users, though there are free user accounts to be had now.
at first people thought Nestle was paying, but aparently no money has changed hands and it's just a mutually beneficial international cross promotion.
Google bought RIM.

Think Willy Wonka.
Staring this week specially marked Kitt Katt bars will have Android on the package. Inside will be codes to enter online to win stuff like a new Nexus 7 or Google play credit.
It is ad cross promotion.
Also shit leaked ahead of the conference surprise surprise.
Also we got more blog posts.

Made by LG again, good move as the Nexus 4 has been the most premium feel Nexus device so far.
Could be a trend going forward? Asus and LG working with Google on new Nexus device each year.
I know its just a screengrab from a video but the Nexus 5 looks to be wider than the N4, same screen as the Optimus G2?

That's clearly a Nexus 7 in the hands of a very large man, plus camera perspective trickery.

Nope. Google took down the video. They know they goofed.
