Was going to mention Tesla as well, you beat me to it!

Very great stuff from that man. I've done much heavy reading about him.

People still use the Tesla Coil though. I saw a band the other day that used the "bzzzz" sound from the coils to a cage, and their metal suites to create metal music.

And there was that guy a couple weeks back that strapped himself to the cage and let people control the "shock" from a laptop

Edit: man was David Blaine and he had a metal suite/helmet

Very good stuff

Android 4.2 camera link can be found in our own Themes/apps thread now.

His link to AC is the source link. Mine was to the S3 international forums.

Also tried to install the S3 flow gallery .. didn't work either. Fun trying though.

Not getting the pop up, but it keeps ending up in my gallery.
[Off-topic] Brad.S.:
I don't use goSMS anymore as of the OS SMS being updated to quick reply.. But I think I remember you can stop this from happening by going into settings and downgrading the app to gosms basic or something of that nature.

It will take away chat and stuff.

Give it a try and see if it works, maybe?

It used to save the pics into my gallery as well.. That was an annoying issue. And one of the reasons why I deleted it.

I just rolled back with TiBu and prevented it from auto updating. If this is gonna happen for holidays every update, they're gonna lose a user quickly. -.- Tried the basic thing and it didn't work, so this is fine.

Dude, you can find a 4S for the same price. Look around a bit before you jump into that. I'm not even that much into the rom business but from carrying my iPhone 4 and Skyrocket around together for 6 months, there isn't that much to do on an iPhone.

I've had all iphones prior to my skyrocket, they all functioned much better in stock form. They seem to crash alot after too many visits to cydia and too many customizations. They just don't work right anymore. To me, an iPhone isn't worth buying at all, for anything, unless it's gonna remain stock for your little sister or something.
[Off-topic] sly-tendencies:
Eh, my jail broken iPhone still runs as smoothly as the day I jail broke it. That's what I like and dislike about it. When you mod it, there's only one mod so you really have to be stupid to mess it up. Once it's on there it's hard to screw it up. With androids there's several different roms and messing up your phone could take no time whatsoever. However, you get an incredible amount of options because there are multiple roms and you're not restricted to one.

Lte is saturated so that points pretty moot unless you're in a brand new area otherwise its just as slow as h+.

Expandable battery, strange choice of words but ok. Removable batteries I see especially for power users. Personally i've never been in a position I cant charge somewhere. I do know there are jobs and situations that cant but I lack that issue.
[Off-topic] xcrazydx:
It is a step down, a huge crippling fall, into a deep hole of a junk phone manufacturer with no expandable memory or battery.
[Off-topic] garydv2002:
Yea my deal with a phone that you can't remove the battery or built in battery whatever you want to call it is if the battery goes bad you just have piece of junk paper weight. If the battery is built in and goes bad you are just really screwed am I right or am I misunderstood on what you guys mean by expandable battery?

Yea I've been known to take a few phones apart in my day so that doesnt scare me lol.. but to the average user having to crack open the phone or replace it just because the battery went bad is not a great selling point.

LTE is a moot point for me. Barely any coverage int he island and I'm on a small 200mb data plan so I rarely use ATT's net. No external SD card sucks but I've made do with 16gb before. As for the battery, that was a big deal for me, specially if I freeze it up with a rom or something. However the Krait Quad with Adreno 320 is a BIG + for me and Google updates is another HUGE + for me. I was getting frustrated with SGS3 on AOSP roms. Damn flickering, adreno running out of memory on with gaming and other apps, Overlay problems in short it was a pain in the but to get it working fine with AOSP roms all because? Samsung/AT&T not releasing JB for it. Not even 4.1.1 when we where running 4.1.2 and soon to be released 4.2. Got tired of their crap and constant updates straight from google is what made my decision. Also better screen density and the fact is slightly smaller and lighter. I can negate the 0.1" screen difference. I disliked Gnex because it was released with dated hardware, lets face it OMAP 4460 was old when it was relased, old architecture and GPU, 5MP camera but I don't see that with Nexus 4. But time will tell how well LG built it, I've already seen some displeasing pictures of the build quality, but I'm still hoping that that was pre production devices and its not all 100 how release devices will be, but I doubt that.

I flashed them early today and so far I have had zero issues. The new camera is nice and the keyboard may actually pull me away from SwiftKey, but I think that the real draw is the gallery.

I'm so undecided about what my next phone will be. I've got an upgrade through at&t right now. Originally it was the s3, then the n4 was announced and now I'm really digging the note 2. Just waiting to see how dev support is going to be. May just leave it stock and root it anyway. Decisions, decisions.

I know it's not a major deciding factor, but the international note 2 community looks like it's getting a lot of love.

I stalk quite a few device threads on XDA and rootz :thumbup:

I'm liking the note 2. I had a buddy ask me today what phone he should get.. He's thinking either the LG intuition or the Note 2 (VZW) .. Lol I said the LG so he wouldn't get the Note 2 :eek: ... Just in case I decide to make the jump.

IMO. Seidio has been the best screen protector...maybe its because its the only one I've had.Its hardly noticeable, its almost like the screen is naked(smooth to drag your finger on).

Eh, I have no income and I'm only 16. My mom was nice enough to get me this phone and I wouldn't have felt right asking her for more money. So I scraped up $50, bought a gift card for online use and got a case, 16GB SD and spent the remainder on the most inexpensive screen protectors with decent reviews that I could find. This is just a sort of stand in until I can get a much better one.

Yea there is a place on the net called points to shop where you fill out surveys, watch videos, download sorftware to try and things to get points to use on amazon. Ive done it and its not a gimmick.

Now im working on getting enough points to get a tv. It might take me a year but im gonna get my tv. You can also combine points with cash to get things cheaper...

I'm not handed anything and don't ask much, if my parents won the lotto I wouldn't expect a dime from them.

I think the main reason kids are like this today is because they've never really experienced life outside of the plush "american bubble" I mean, they probably see adds ono tv about countries that are less fortunate but until they actually live there and see the places firsthand it doenst really affect them. Both of my parents are NIgerian and i went to a boarding school there (for my 3 years of middle school) and the sad thing is that the academic and disciplinary level there is so much higher than in America. Back there they don't care if you goof of or act stupid they're actually allowed to whip you and nobody is gonna care if you report a teacher for that stuff cus they CAN AND WILL DO IT. When i came back i was kinda suprised because compared to there it's alot easier. Most kids haven't had to "fend for themselves" and don't realize how lucky they are and thats probly gonna continue until they realize how great their lives are and that it definetely isn't cheap. Just wanted to input my 2 cents and say that we have it pretty luck here and most people sadly never get the chance to realize that.
[Off-topic] sly-tendencies:
I hadn't realized kids these days always have their hands out.. from an older person's perspective, is it really that bad? I mean my mom does a whole lot for me and I recognize it completely. She drops me to school almost every single day when other kids have to take the bus. I don't even ask for it, but I always let her know how thankful I am. I have friends whose parents buy them these expensive wardrobes and they pay them back by acting out and cutting class.

This might sound weird coming from someone as young as me, and pardon my language, but teens these days need good a** whoopings. I wish the law would see that there's a difference between a spanking and legitimate child abuse. I got spankings when I did bad when I was younger, and I'd like to think I'm a great teenager because of such.
