Years back he had sources at Samsung and Nokia, but those days are long over. Every now and then he comes up with some bullshit to feed his site with clicks and because his bullshit generates some clicks, lesser blogs repost his bullshit and call him an industry insider. Imagine a former news editor of digitimes who was fired for publishing inaccurate articles. That's the level Eldar is at now.
Personally, I only read most of his shit, when he talks about Windows Phone or Nokia and I groan every time someone mentions his shit in the WP thread. Some of my favorite of his include stuff like Windows Phone switching to software buttons in 2011, Elop being a short term CEO and stepping down in late 2012 and both, the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3, coming out in Autumn 2011.

I need some advice. I am looking at buying 4 Nexus 7 tablets to use as portable survey taking devices to measure resident satisfaction with our park and rec programs.
Are there any good survey creation apps that can work in an offline mode and also possible export data to Google Forms, Docs, or Excel?

So he's a person who's stuck in the past? Gotcha.

Nah, he's still the go-to guy if you want to know the Galaxy S5 launch date.

e: I forgot another special Eldar favorite
Eldar Murtazin is not only the editor of Mobile-Review, but also one of the most well respected and best connected tech journalists on the planet. When he weighs in on a rumor, people listen, and he has been right time and time again. Now Murtazin is weighing in on the Google Phone, aka Nexus One, dismissing the development as fake and claiming that the rumor mill may have been started by Apple. Wow.
On chrome I'm pretty sure the Nav bar appears as soon as you start scrolling upward. Just hit refresh then.

Is this sarcasm or...?

Got my Z1 Compact. Is there any one-click root software available for this thing?
I am assuming not, hopefully it means some Sammy features make it into mainline android. While Samsung has the design skills of a blind man with tremors and the mental capacity of a 6 year old they do have a few nice features.

More like the misterxmedia of mobile technology.
I think Google Docs has a method of creating a survey page. Not sure how robust it is, but my old job circulated internal surveys that were made in Google and were simple questions.

I guess maybe here is the best place to ask this.
Is there a way to disable 4g and switch back to 3g on the LG G2 Verizon version?
I very excitedly got my brand new phone, but the problem is I can't load a goddamn website for the life of me at work. I was able to do so fine on 3g on my old shitty Incredible that I just upgraded this from.
I hope it is just a 4g issue anyway and not something else weird going on, but yesterday near my home things were working pretty fine so...

There are many switcher apps you can use to turn on/off 3G 4G.
This is obviously a browser issue.

The problem is a lot of stuff is going slowly, app store wont really load, netflix wont load
when I try to sign on to netflix, it says something like please make sure you have network connectivity and your date and time are set?
Again, things seemed to be okay at home yesterday...
also, the 4g seems to be floating between 3 and 1 bar
it does, and you can run it in offline mode, not sure what happens with multiple devices connect back in and sync though.

Looked for the option and couldn't find it, I think Verizon might be different than the other carriers and removed the feature.
Confirmed from a co-worker that our building is a Verizon 4g dead zone, so this kinda sucks, but at least its no issue with my actual phone..
Edit: Also, side note, anyone have a good suggestion for screen protectors/cases for the Verizon version of the G2?

It's almost 2 years old. Look for a newer device.
Looks like Google is going to make ART the default runtime on Android soon

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I'd have done the same. The woman pulling that prank needs to be attractive for it to work. Otherwise, let me tell you about Android.
Well, there's always the possibility he was answering her question..."Use Android and I will ask you out."

Possibly looking to get the LG G2 for my girl and I. Can anyone recommend the phone or should I avoid the G2 and grab something else?
Looking for comfort, speed, and great call quality. This will be my first Android device.

The G2 is a great device combining solid specs with good hardware. Powerful internals with great battery life. LG also seem to be stepping up their updating game.
The software additions LG has done to Android can be a bit intrusive at times, but it's bearable imho. The biggest hurdle would be to get used to the power and volume button layout, but from the times I tried it out it hasn't been a big issue. Also depending on what phone you're coming from it might be a bit big.
I'm using do not disturb, works the same way with whitelist and emergency ring through. This is something that should be natively in android
Is that an app?
Yup, by Cabooze
moto assists driving mode i amazing:

has calmed down a bit.
That sounds pretty standard for Bluetooth connected phones, I'm gonna assume every modern phone can do that.
Hey guys, I didn't know where else to ask this, hope it's appropriate here. I need some troubleshooting help.
My phone spontaneously shut itself off and rebooted with a near-flat battery. Its now using the default launcher and not GoLauncherEX. A quick browse of my phone and microSD card shows that all of the apps are mysteriously not available.Even basics like Chrome and Facebook apps can't be read and aren't even available to open. Other data (e.g. pictures, music) can be read and opened, and rooting it to my PC works fine; no apps are deleted. I am updated to the latest version of the OS. I've tried taking the battery out, restarting, popping the microSD card out and back in, and other simple stuff. The screenshot I took shows what the App section of my Settings page looks like - normally the app icons are in place, not the generic image you see in all the apps listed.
I can't seem to find a solution online and am getting pretty frustrated. Anyone able to help me out?

It's not that big of a deal. Google basically just finished their patent acquisition.

Both my parents upgraded their devices to the Sony Xperia Z1. Sony has done really well with Android with the new Xperia line. I'm really impressed, especially coming from the S3. I'm picking up the Xperia Z off of a friend too. Great devices, not a hugely intrusive skin and the stamina mode is amazing.
Didn't the rumor say 2015? That would mean we could expect at least one more phone and tablet, right?Googy... y
Is the nexus line dead as well now? :
...right?!

It's all over, RIP android. Writing has been on the wall for a while now.
If apple releases a bigger iphone I'm going to be super tempted.
