My contract with Sprint is up in January, so it's hyper reduced upgrade time. I'm currently using the HTC Evo LTE, so come January, what would be the best thing to upgrade to? I can wait a few months if some fresh tech is coming out of the oven soon. Loved each HTC phone I've had, so if at all possible I'd like to stay with them, but won't rule out others. A better phone is a better phone.

Hmmm...any info/rumors on it? I googled a few things, but have no idea how reliable the sources are.

I've liked my prior HTC phones, but they appear to be a dying company.
Note 3 if you are a manly man.

A few of you(you included) recommended this phone when I asked for someone about a month ago, and it was a great choice. Really nice.
It really seems like it. Hope things get better for them, but I'm not so sure they will. I still love their flagship phones so much though.
Nah, I carry my phone in my pocket, plus I'm way too active for such a large phone. It would get cracked in half I'm sure lol

It was leaked in the Nokia trial. We might hear about at Ces

Sweet. I can wait a few months for something new to drop, so that would be fine if it releases in Q1.

has calmed down a bit.
Anybody know how to set the Bing daily wallpaper? Its supposed to be available with the new update but I can't find the option.
If you take a picture with snow in it, it will add falling snow to the image.

That's both amazing and kinda creepy at the same time.

A few days ago I traded my N5 for an LG G2 and I think I made a huge mistake. I am not liking the G2 as much as I thought I would. I can say for a fact that N5 stock is smoother than the LG OS. I could throw so many things at the N5 with out so much of a hiccup. When I was downloading several apps at the same time the G2 paused a few times. I cant believe I am going to say this but the G2 is just too big of a phone to handle. Lucky for me I have a spare unopened N5 that I might just keep. So if anyone is interested in the G2 let me know. I am about to put for sell.

Well now I regret it. I am looking at getting rid of the G2 and going back to the N5. To me the G2 screen was better and had battery life. That was the only positives it had over the N5.

Stock Android is lame brahs.
Don't know if you are being sarcastic but stock its not lame. What LG and Samsung have going on seems very cluttered and confusing.
Never had a stock Android experience, but LG's version is a huge improvement over Samsung's. I find little to complain about on LG's. There are occasional hiccups, but it's 99% buttery and a vast improvement compared to my older Samsung.

Why?
Have you used Google Music? So convoluted.
I just tried it, and it still works for me.

You can create the hot spot, but when you connect a device, it routes you (the device) to a tmobile login page for getting a hot spot plan.
I just tried it. Not happy.
Nope, connection works for me, browser, apps, everything.

Its a flex pay thing. I am on the phone now with tmobile. I guess I can convert to regular now that there are no enforced time period contracts.

Yup that was blocked when I tried tethering on the N5. On my rooted N4 I was tethering fine. I put 4.4 on the N4 and bam tethering was blocked.

Jesus. That would be a monster on a Moto X with the always listening mode.

Why isn't the Nexus 5 always listening? This omission is ridiculous. IMO, home automation only works if it is always listening. If I have to turn on my phone and speak to it to do something, I'm already annoyed. Also, for certain actions like opening the door when I come home, I don't want to speak to make that happen. It should be a proximity thing.
Good to see home automation progress but man it still looks clunky.
They're missing the special chip that the Moto X has that's always listening.

800 has it. "Voice activation enabled by Snapdragon processors even listens while on standby. The result? You enjoy power savings and voice control experience that you can use without even touching your device."

So I bought a Moto G for my dad to replace his Palm Pre for Christmas. I'm concerned though, is 8gb going to be enough for him? I only just learned there is no micro SD card slot once I opened the box up. He's basically just going to toss on a few basic apps (FB, Twitter; YouTube, Netflix, etch) and a few basic games. I'm mostly worried about music though. I'm about to buy my dad a year of Xbox Music since his CD collection was destroyed in a flood in our basement this Summer. Does anyone know if the android Xbox Music app caches data or should he be fine?

After a week and a half with a Nexus 7 I am in love with Android. I can't get over how much more utility I get out of my N7 in comparison to my iOS devices.

Welcome to the club. A good majority of us were iOS users for a long time as well - including myself. Hell, I had an MBA, iPad, and iPhone at one point. Now it's MBA, Nexus 7, Nexus 5.
