You're on NeoGaf and yet you don't believe? I'm sure you'll get an invite.
It seems really archaic of Google to have people e-mail to ask for an invite. I don't know if they made the system automated or anything but I foresee a long wait to get a code.
A Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Developer Edition is Coming Soon

So this is what a billion/year patent fees gets you?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Is this Facebook Home the MS edition?
So got a problem with Android/Xperia Z3c, it's quite minor but still bugging me.
The 'myself' contact has become unsynched with my google profile, so beforehand, when messaging someone, my google profile pic would be displayed but now it's just that generic outline. Does anyone know how to re-sync it? Tried editing the 'myself' contact, can't link it with anything and if I try and change the profile pic I can only select from my phone's album.

Neat. If none of that stuff was important enough to be locked behind a passcode though, I'd just turn the passcode off.
Seems okay, but isn't there already a dozen lockers who kinda does the same thing ? Also not a fan of bypassing lock for apps like dialer. Moto X active display is still the best way of getting notifications without unlock, love this feature.
I just got Textra as an alternative SMS app as I dislike both AOSP SMS and Hangouts. Seems nice so far and I dig the material design. Hello SMS looked really nice but being ad supported is a bummer (and the "premium subscription" is too expensive to me)
Lollipop messenger says hi
Inbox is pretty cool. Think Mailbox + Gmail. You can set mails to snooze for later (feature I heavily use in Mailbox). New 'automatic' labels are pretty accurate. Finance and shopping, particularly. App is Lollipop style, so beautiful and responsive. You can also set reminders. Emails are more like tasks you complete. It can be a complete replacement for the Gmail app.
Edit: In Purchases there's a thumbnail that says Shipped or Cancelled for some of my Amazon emails.

Yeah probably, that's why I hope the update for the 1st gen Moto X will come soon.

What's the point of locking then?

Yes, MetroPCS is the best prepaid for uncapped speeds.
Textra looks nice. Might give it a go myself.
What makes it better than the t-mobile 5gb $30 plan?
Yup.
I'm assuming you're curious about options with better coverage besides T-Mobile.
Go hassle 3-4 other people to join an AT&T plan like I did. Your payments will be equal to or less than Straight Talk, and no speed limits.
Half joking with the above suggestion, but I was able to convince 3 family members to join my plan and I charge them $40-45/month (my grandpa uses like 25MB a month on his iPhone, I had to give him some sort of discount). It's to all their benefit, as well as my own...you just need to make them see!
Straight Talk pissed me off from the first month I had them (I managed 3 months I think) and I don't ever feel like giving them money again.
Metropcs is Tmobile service with unlimited voice and text:
$60/month - unlimited data
$50/month - 3gb data (throttled after 3gb)
$40/month - 1gb data (throttled after 1gb)
These prices include taxes and fees, so you don't pay more than the above prices.
Cricket is AT&T service, so generally better coverage than Metro/Tmobile. The 8mb/s throttled speeds are more than fast enough, and they do hit 8mb/s. The only downfall is data goes through a proxy server so pings are higher than AT&T proper.

I use the 50 plan with my Nexus 5. the $40 plan sucked because they throttle the speed to less than 1mbps after the 1GB. I may move up to the $60 eventually.

has calmed down a bit.
Yeah, I just installed it, pretty good looking app. Hangouts is a missed opportunity. Very plain and buggy for me.
Am wondering what the pre-reqs are given my Nexus 4 is incompatible.
I know it needs Amoled so it can only light the needed pixels and leave the rest.
Seems like a MS version of Cover (which I do use).

I don't know if it's my phone but the 4G for metropcs sucks. It's kinda slow. If I were to switch to the $30 T- Mobile plan, would I face similar speeds since metropcs is owned by T Mobile? I have the $40 plan.
Seems to just be a region lock, its just that the web chrome store doesn't say that (its just says 'app is incompatible with your device').
I am on T Mobil 30$ plan, and using N5. I get about 40mbps down easily.

I like the sound of this. As soon as I get my phone I will be switching to this plan.
Thanks Legere!

1) So the plan consists of 5GB of 4G LTE data right? Not regular 4G?
2) can i keep my Metro phone number if i get the prepaid?
3) How do payments work? Do I buy a new $30 card every month or what?

T-Mobile shaking up dat competition.

You can find it online on Walmart's website. The $30 plan has 5gb of 4G LTE with unlimited text and 100 minutes of talk time. I don't know the answer to the last question but I'm on the same boat as you.
Really? On what carrier?

For some reason it will not work until the voicelte update
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
It just changed on your account overnight? You didn't request a change? I was looking at the 30gb plan that's on sale this month and wasn't sure I wanted to pay the difference, even though it's a pretty good deal.
Is there an ETA on when that will be available?

It depends on the phone.
