Even still you'd be bitching about the battery even more, lol. It wouldn't be free battery-wise, yo.

it's likely that the s800 implementation is similar to the X8 in that it uses a separate low power core. I can't imagine it'd be any worse than the X8, but it still leaves us asking why either Qualcomm won't part with the drivers or the OEMs refused to include it.

I've never owned an iOS device but I helped people in the past after a simple google search on the topic.

Moto G is the best budget phone if your carrier allows unlocked phones
This. Note that Moto G doesn't have LTE.

Alright! 4.4.1 fixed the Bluetooth headset volume problem. So happy.
LOL, great post .
True. But see, that's why it should have came with 3000 mah. But still, I really hope it comes out.
LOL, great post .

Because Chrome for Android is buggy like that
But it's Googles Browser on Googles OS.

Is there a way to (cloud) print from Gmail on Android? I can do it from the web interface but I'd rather do it from the app. I feel like the option used to be there.

Initially, it integrated with Google Now. Then I think it got removed.

Nexus 4. I never figured it out. It was terrible on 4.3. It suddenly appears and won't go away until I reboot, then it reappears again randomly. Never figured a pattern and BBS didn't really find the culprit.
No issues on 4.4 then, but 4.4.1 drained my battery rather quickly again. Hopefully it's not the same issue again.

Ummm hope 4.4.1 doesn't fuck up my n4, been getting great battery on 4.4. Except for exchange obviously but I stopped push email and that sorted it.
I've been doing a lot of research over the last few days and the One seems to come out on top the majority of the time.

Is the Moto G a good buy in the US when a 16gb nexus 4 can be purchased for the same price as the 16gb variant?

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
4.3 update for GS3 gives us transparent notification bar and lock screen but it goes away when you open any app
I had to research for 2 hours how to get widgets to show up on the lock screen.
Mind you I have 2 tablets with 4.3+ on them now and adding widgets on them were easy.

Haha what have they don't to the widgets then?

It's a setting under "My Device" allowing for multiple lock screen widgets now, BUT it's no instructions on how to add widgets on the lockscreen.
In 4.1.2, you would get the lock screen where you could swipe and it'll show the security options you put in place( PIN, Pattern, ect.) If you have that stuff on in 4.3, you get no widgets.
I found the + button to add widgets by accidently fucking around with the new "Light" screen unlock feature.
I think I'm more pissed about losing the weather and news ticker on the lock screen. The only option for weather is putting the Google Now widget as your first unlock screen.
Does anybody know an email app that will notify me immediately once I receive an email? I just came from an iPhone 4s and the push notification is almost instant when I receive a new email. On my galaxy s4 it seems to take a minute or two. I'm using both the built in email app and the gmail one. Is there something in the settings I can change? The app setttings itself or the android notification settings?

What about dashclock?
At the same price I'd get the nexus. The moto g is a great phone though. We just got one for my mum to replace an aging iphone and had fun setting it up. It's amazing/very respectable what you get for the price.

if you can get a Nexus 4 for the same price do it.

So I ended up buying a asus memopad 7 HD, I figured it would be good enough for an entry level tablet and it costed 100€ less. Finding good deals for higher end tablets proven impossible lol.
What I like: it's snappy enough, its a good step up from my iphone 3gs which loved to crash on neogaf whenever someone posted a slightly bigger picture o did a long post (yep...). Gifs go in slow mo for some reason, which could be firefox's fault.
I also liked the google play store's choice of apps and UI, I always found the iStore's UI dreadful and borderline unusable. I also like that the tablet can play 1080p videos without problems and could add subtitles support with an app.
I'm liking the keyboard more than I thought, I feel like I don't need an external one ( though I WILL need a cover of some sort). The battery lasts really a long time.
What I don't like: The build quality is really shoddy. I understand that they made the thing so that you would NEVER feel the heat from the components inside, but there are so many places where skin/hair/oil could deposit, in a year's time the thing will be filthy as hell (as was my 3DS lite which had a similar issue). Also, the lower part of the device, where the speakers are, is particularly weak and creaks ever so slightly.
The camera is not that great either but I have a somy handicam so w/e.
For gaming, I guess it's good for 2d gaming, but it has issues with even simple 3D games like gun bros and zen pinball (it stutters slightly). It's not a huge issue though, I could count the mobile games I would want to play on one hand. And one of those is Rayman Fiesta Run
All in all,it's a 130€ tablet and you get what you pay for, will still get a lot of use from me for a long time, hopefully. Still better than bringing my old and barely usable compaq along.

I replaced my broken one with a z. It feels like a downgrade. The z1 is a nicer phone than the z but I'd go for the HTC anytime. Plus it is on 4.4 already vs z1 stuck on 4.2 until sometimes this month. Which means in Sony time, next year some time.

should be instant in the gmail app. email app also should be instant if you set it up for exchange activesync.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
DashClock is $$$$. Roll with that and don't worry about the stock clock widget stuff.

Get the N4 provided the N4 is actually in good condition.
The nexus 4 is the better phone, if you can get it new for the same price go for it.
Thanks for the advice, I looked at the modding community on XDA and the htc one is far more supported than the Z1
I will stick with the one, thanks.
Pretty good actually. I got a few scratches here and there, mostly due to drops, but other than that it's fine. Though once the fingerprint resistant coating is gone it gets real funky

My N4 sustained a few drops with no scratches which surprised me after hearing the horrer stories. Willing to bet the moto g is much better at taking a beating but if both devices are new I would still go N4.
I've gone nekkid with my nexus 4 since release and it's survived drops and all sorts just fine. I'm very careful with my phone that said. Seems wrong to put it in any case. The moto g is more like a Samsung and with a raised plastic back. The sort of thing your want to hide in a nice case.

I'm tempted to buy a Note 3, but next year iteration with a 64 bit cpu seems like the right choice, because performance will be much better.
Is that right ?

So I have no idea how to overcome my issue.
I currently have been using iOS for years.. and probably won't abandon it. My work phone is on a iPhone 5s and it is my personal number as well. So I have one phone.
I have Google Glass and the experience is totally neutered since Google and Apple won't get along and some features are missing.
I want to get an Android phone on the T-Mobile $30 Unlimited Data Pre-Paid plan. The only issue is that I don't want to abandon my iPhone so I will get two phones and be one of "those" guys.
I'm thinking of getting a Moto X. The biggest issue is sending text messages from Google Glass. I can send them via the Android but it will be on a totally different phone number
Is my only option porting my phone # from my iPhone off and onto Google Voice and forwarding the Android stuff to the Google Voice stuff? Ooof. Trying to find an easy solution.
