I've always wondered, what do you even do with the data you collect in here? You had a lot of surveys, I'm surprised you never asked about the age.

Nothing which is funny cause I guess I do ask a lot of survey like questions. Topics just arise which make me then want to ask said question such as the age thing which came up in our Google Hangout.

Somehow someone has managed to make the ugly iOS 7 icons even worse with its Androidification.

It's definitely the worst part about iOS 7 despite everything else in the UI being beautiful.

Never understood the fascination of launchers when everything aside from the homescreen stays hideous.

I wish they made beautiful customizable Custom ROMs.

You can install 3rd party themes on most custom ROMs these days.

Don't know about that specific ROM, but I think the ROM itself has to support the AOKP theme engine. If it does, you can just download CM themes from the Play Store and you'll more than likely have a Theme option in your settings menu.

I'm switching from Verizon (loyal customer, unlimited granfathered plan) to T-Mobile and going on that web-exclusive only $30/month prepaid plan. Only 100 min talk time, but you can turn the phone into a VoIP and make/receive calls using data. Unlimited text and data, throttled after 5GB. First 5GB gives you LTE though.

The one major difference between prepaid and postpaid however, is that on prepaid plan, you will not be able to get data roaming as you would on postpaid plan. There are no data roaming charges on T-Mobile.

For all those switching from Verizon to other carriers, let us know how it goes. I rely on my connection for work so not brave enough to make the switch yet. Good luck.

let me re-phrase. People dont buy prepaid phones from a different store then they are getting their pre-paid service from.

Meh, Bootloader unlocking IMO absolutely should void your warranty. If I want to tinker with my shit, let me, at the expense of not having it covered if I fuck it up.

My only issue is when I'm not allowed to trade my warranty for the freedom to do whatever I want with my hardware. I'm not out to screw anyone over by unlocking my phone, busting it, then expecting the manufacturer to cover the costs of my screwups. That's not their fault its mine. I don't think I'm entitled to fuck up flashing a ROM then having the carrier or OEM foot the bill for that.

why should bootloader unlocking get them out of repairing faulty headphone jacks, charge ports, defective panrels, batteries, etc, especially now with sealed batteries on so many handsets...

plus that detects ROOT, not even bootloader unlocking!

And their touchscreen hardware, combined with iOS1 was better than anything anyone else was using for phones. I don't even use an iPhone anymore, but when I bought the iPhone 3G, it WAS magical.

So regarding the Nexus 5 (LG-D820)

4PNMce1.jpg


Earlier I wrote in this thread that the Nexus 5 won't support Verizon Wireless, but I think I might be wrong about that.

Verizon is starting to roll out AWS (which is on LTE band 4), and the LG-D820 just so happens to support that band.

Based on this FCC communique (i felt like saying communique), the LG-D820 will support CDMA voice calls. Additionally, documents from the FCC show tests done on CDMA2000, which is what is used for Verizon as well as Sprint.

In essence, the Nexus 5 is fully capable of being on Verizon Wireless, as long as your neighborhood has the new AWS spectrum (1700Mhz) that Verizon has been rolling out since the summer. Verizon also recently purchased AWS spectrum from AT&T which included western cities (Los Angeles, Fresno, Calif., Phoenix, and Portland).
