No one thought the home button logo could be true until we started to discuss it. Don't do it again.
Hello guys and gals, I bought a Nexus 4 recently and I'm going through the motions of installing and trying out apps. One thing I'd like in particular is to stream videos from my computer to my phone through my Wifi router. I've been browsing the google store and saw Plex, Emit, AirStream... Which app of this kind would you say is the best? If there's a good free one, that would be even better. Thanks.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Most people I see seem to all use Plex. I'd wait for more suggestions though.
I thought that was already the general consensus on Samsung products

Verizon people looking to upgrade Amazon has the HTC One for $119 for new customers and $129 for upgrades. That'll save you a tiny bit of cash and might push some.

PS: It's still $99/$119 on AT&T as well through Amazon.

Business as usual.
At least they've been consistent with their shit plastic up til now.

At least the phone won't feel like it's going to fly out of your hand anymore.
I really hope they stitch a Verizon logo on the back though. That'd be laughing material for weeks if not months.

Talking about the glossy, slippery as fuck plastics on the S3.
This isn't the first generation of smartwatches... unless by you set the calendar by when Apple does their first generation.
FFS this is Sony's third iteration
Ugh People really think the plastic Pebble looks better than that Samsung Gear? Seriously? Do you guys wear one? The black Pebble is plain and the colors are much worse.
In the real world loud and conspicuous watches are popular:
I'm interested

Samsung gonna Samsung.
but their previous phones didn't feel like that, it was all in people's heads...
me too, it would be AMAZING!!!
We set the standard by a product that redefines the category and makes a dent.
IE the first "good" product.

You mean the first popular product.
At most companies, you copy good features.
At Samsung, you copy every feature.
Good products tend to succeed in the marketplace, yes.
It's funny because it's true.

hey at least they didn't make it take up an entire page in the launcher!
Grey, let's not pretend that the Sony smartwatches are not selling well because of lack of marketing. They're not redefining the category and giving people a reason to need or even want one. I'm pretty bearish on smartwatches - I have a hard time imagining a watch that will appeal to such widely different tastes, but I am bullish on the idea of wearables subsuming smartphones.
The way I see a smartwatch really defying expectations is some sort of full band display that's closer to a bracelet than a watch. In the vein of the Fuel band.

well, if you had it unlocked or on any carrier except AT&T or Verizon, you wouldn't have a bootloader problem...
No. <ost products tend to fail, good products included. The first popular product tends to be a good one but that doesn't mean that there weren't other good products before it that couldn't find an audience.
i use plex, in my experience its the easiest and prettiest set up
i get to do my first S-OFF tomorrow. I'm so excited... (not really). Lets see how i can mess up the phone
edit... to a conversation i had a week or two ago... OSX is pretty damn awesome on my new MBP. Definitely took some time to learn it (and still am), but man, its much better then windows for what i use a laptop for. Long live the terminal
Isn't there a way to get around that or has that exploit been plugged up?
I hope the Xperia Z1 comes out to more carriers in the US. That thing looks gorgeous.

Where are the speakers on the new Note 10.1?
The Faceless Master

nope. you can get root, but the bootloader in the newest updates on Verizon and AT&T is still undefeated. no custom recovery or roms for now, just root access and root apps...

Lol they made it uglier, slower and laggier than blinkfeed
It's like their trademark now.
Hold up; that's your personal opinion of what a watch/smartwatch should be. As should be self-evident many people wear fashionable watches that are much larger and bulkier than that. While such a full band display might indeed be the tipping point to get everybody to wear a smartwatch that technology isn't possible right now and will require multiple generations of smartwatches before the it is miniaturized to that level.
Of course that's assuming that we don't all end up wearing arm thingies (like Leela from Futurama) instead smartwatches..
A better iteration of the Casio calculator watch is not going to set this market on fire. There needs to be real innovation.
Sure, it's my opinion, but it's my opinion based on observing meager innovation in the space since people were playing around with iPod nanos on watchbands.
Hypothetically this is a high margin business with sizable volume.

Back, fill me in on all the nexus rumours NOW! And anything else interesting. You guys are always good for it. Come onzzz.
made by Huwaei. 5.2" S800 64gb internal (no sd card), dual sim, LTE-A
Bleh...I guess I could go for the HTC One then. I'm just so used to having a removable battery these days.
The Z1 sounds nice with the 3000 mAh battery built in. That feels like it could last a full day.
At least it's not cheap plastic? Just cheap fake leather.
But that is gonna rip over time.
Samsung just needs to start using an aluminum unibody frame already.
The Faceless Master
Member
it's still "cheap plastic" though.
you can already buy phones with that shit. why does Samsung need to make the same thing as other manufacturers?
What's 'real innovation'?
I agree but that doesn't mean that the smartwatches that failed (and the current crip that will fail as well) aren't innovative.
The Faceless Master
Member
so where's the HTC One Max? still waiting on people other than Samsung to make phones with proper stylus input and not just big phones...
Aluminum unibody so that people will say they're ripping off Apple again?
At least it gives it a different look. I'm surprised the Note 3 in general doesn't just look like a bigger S4.
