[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Phhoenyxx:
While others, like yourself, always try to justify buying something new simply because it is new, regardless of whether it is needed or not. :p

Also, LTE isn't available on the Nexus 4, so your point is moot. If there were two Nexus 4's, one with HSPA+ and another with LTE, and both were the same price, then we could debate it. But even then, you could always argue about coverage and battery consumption.

Is LTE useless? No. Is LTE a necessity? No. Are there currently pros and cons to having either HSPA+ or LTE? Yes.

This will never end. People have gotten way too materialistic and tech manufacturers are loving every minute of it trying to make us believe we need every minor tweak imaginable. They could release two phones with the only difference being their colour, and some people would find a reason to buy both (the white one is great during the day because it doesn't get as hot in the sun, but the black one has less glare when watching HD videos at night). LOL

Whatever happened to the good old days when people used someting until it stopped working or until they actually needed something better?

LTE is great. Hopefully it will become as power efficient as non-LTE devices soon and become a worldwide standard so we don't have 50 different versions of the Galaxy S3 for all the different LTE spectrums out there. I can't wait to be able to download a 16 GB Blu-Ray torrent while on the road with blazing fast LTE speeds on my 6 GB data plan (I know, I will bust my limit, but it doesn't matter, it's LTE)! I just hope the battery lasts during that 10 hour download process! This is a NECESSITY for me! I don't want to have to download that at home and transfer it to my phone! Not to mention the major advantage of being able to load Wikipedia 0.00001 seconds faster! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thas5:
My carrier started rolling out LTE recently, so yeah, I do care. Though it's not the reason why I'm not getting the Nexus 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnIXmA:
My carrier got 4g lte but I personally prefer to use h+. Bought the gsm gnex and would be getting the n4. Browsing on H+ is decent for me and I dont download stuff on my phone, so yeah no 4g lte is not a big deal breaker. BTW 4g networks are battery suckers :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] woody296:
I enjoy the grandfathered unlimited Verizon people. Keep tethering those xbox 360's, streaming those movies, etc, etc. Verizon tossed you guys a bone a few months back to let you stay unlimited, but you know they are already working on ways of getting you onto their more expensive plans. They, like all other companies, want to make more money. If you are using 2-3 times more data than the average customer and aren't paying for it, well that's money they want. Just wait, your time will come sooner than later. Then the only thing you will be able to brag about is your pretty little "ping".;)

I'm considering to buy a Yarvik tablet, possibly the Xenta TAB9-200.

Is there a way to root it? Or, better, to install Cyanogenmod or a similar non-stock ROM?

TIA

I have the xenta 10ic and it came already rooted. I can't install cracked apps though..... when I try to install any app, it just creates an icon that says 'cracked app' and that's it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Baratheonist:
Isn't this app built into the Galaxy series? Seems to be missing in the Tmo GN2. Are we to rely on a 3rd party app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Motoki_:
If we are thinking about the same thing, it's there. Hold the home button down and then click the circle in the lower left corner.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
You can install a simple shortcut app that can send you directly to the Note2 built in taskmanager. This app was originally created for the GS3, however it works great on our Note2.

You can find it on the Google Play store: HERE.

If there is any issues with it, it will be: it stays on the screen for about 10 secs as an active task in itself before it disappears.

I hope this works for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Baratheonist:
Thanks. I was looking for it in the apps screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] predation:
for some reason when i hold the home button, the task manager doesn't show up.

i believe this happened after the 4.1.2 update. anyone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
When you press the button nothing happens? Or what does happen? What if you double tap
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phoenixfriend:
When I long press the home button I get this View attachment 1841033

Then by pressing the circle on the bottom left it takes me to the task manager that looks like thisView attachment 1841035

Hope that helps.

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Poached this from the LG 4X HD forum and wanted to share this keyboard with you guys. Swype is fluid and just the overall experience typing with this keyboard is much better IMO.

Link for download: https://hotfile.com/dl/178058074/2672b3b/Android_4.2_KB.apk.html

Directions:

Install just like a regular .apk

Go to settings > Language & Input > and check the box for the Android Keyboard

Select Android Keyboard as the default keyboard to use

Enjoy
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Cheers I will try this, been on Swype beta pretty much since I got the phone. Do you feel this is better our about the same

It feels quicker, but you can't just tap on a word and get a list of alternatives, which I'm sure was there in the proper Swype.

Photo Sphere FC is a known bug - mentioned repeatedly on the original page. Will hopefully be fixed tomorrow.

As for the green line - try on a different ROM and see if it's still there - may be related to the blue lines on ICS ROMs?
[HTC Desire S] Andy3105:
Sorry I'm not referring to the camera, I'm after the keyboard, all that downloads is that odd file.

OK, confused by the quoting of the Camera/Gallery stuff.

Go to HotFile, selct "Regular Download", wait 15 seconds, then click on the "Click here to download" link and you should get a file called "Android 4.2 KB.apk" downloaded. Just re-tested it and it is fine.

So I got my hands on a an HTC 8X for AT&T a week early. Have any questions?:confused:
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Taurenking:
nice box xD
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Useless guy:
How did you get it?

I have lg gw910, but it's a gift from my friend from microsoft :)
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] prjkthack:
Looks like he got it from the Windows Phone 8 launch event. They gave away a bunch of those phones in that box there.

Hey can you open the HTC clock app that now appears by default on the Start screen? Is it a new version of the HTC Hub app? Anything new or different? Does the time on the Start screen update in real-time?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Samuel Sung:
How much do you paid? Or was ist for free? If yes then why?

thx in advance
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] hixsonkevin:
You're correct on where I got it. The HTC clock app is new, but the features are pretty much the same as they've always been. So far that's the only "new" app in the HTC section of the market.

Edit: Actually, there is one new feature that ties in with WP8 and it allows you to use the HTC app on your lock screen. So you have a clock, and weather on your lockscreen, as well as a new background.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] prjkthack:
That's kinda disappointing if its the only app. I know its got Beats pre-installed, but what about stuff like HTC's panorama camera functionality? Flashlight still there and working? Attentive phone?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] hixsonkevin:
Hmmm, couldn't find the panorama function. Flashlight is there and pre-installed as well as attentive phone. I must say the wide angle front lense is pretty nice. Can't wait for the new Skype to be released.

Also, a feature that I hadn't seen or heard about before, is that in the camera you can install "lenses" so you can switch between using the "bing" lenses and using it to scan bar codes and such, to switching to apps such as "camwow". All within the native camera app

can u try to download a mp3 file through the web browser and see if it lets u save it to the device and add it to your library of music on the phone without having to sync to the computer
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] broons:
How is performance? How is sense? How does it feel in the hand? Build quality? Reception?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] hixsonkevin:
Performance is great, as always with most Windows Phone devices. It has a 1.5 dual core cpu for a OS that only really needs 1 core so it flys along. Build quality is great, the unibody and slim curved body feels great in the hand. Reception wise, I have full bars where I live so I can't say. And sense? There is no sense.... this is not Android....

well not knowing of any reliable places to download an mp3 file, I just did a quick search of mp3 ringtones, from what I could tell, no you can't. It seemed to just open it and play.

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] hixsonkevin:
Nope, and nope. I doubt you'll ever see options to keep the wifi on in during with any stock OS to be honest though.

Thanks a sexy box. :good: Must've been a pretty penny.

If im not mistaken, haven't you always been able to download a pdf?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] XATAGuy:
The real question is: Can you SEND a PDF via any means?

Thanks for sharing!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] hixsonkevin:
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can. Maybe through Skydrive? Not sure though. Interesting side note, is that on WP7 there was Adobe pdf reader, and now its Microsoft's own pdf reader (the same can be found on Win8)
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] XATAGuy:
Wow! You're right! I just got finished installing Windows 8. I hadn't even opened a PDF yet so I checked it out. Yup. The default reader is completely different, as are the PDF file icons. I found a couple of traits I don't like in the new reader, but, just as I have been able to circumnavigate most Windows 8 issues by returning to the trusty old desktop, in looking at the tool bar in the top of the folder containing the PDF, there was an arrow beside the word "Open". This allowed me to open the PDF with the old reader, which worked as per normal on my network printer.

Back to the subject. It is a total screw-up that we STILL can not send a PDF with a WP8. This was a well known shortcoming in WP7. When are they gonna' fix this?

Aaaaaaargggh!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] magicsquid:
Someone told me that pdf files now show up in the Office hub so you can email them from there.

Here's a video that shows how: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=FE1xh1VF8v4#t=150s

Also, one additional question: If you forward an email message, can you edit the original email text? Thanks.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] prjkthack:
Can you possibly test the speed and reliability of push notifications? One thing Microsoft does not talk about is how or even if push notifications have improved. Test Facebook, Twitter, something. See how quickly notifications arrive, or if they even arrive at all.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] hixsonkevin:
Yeah, can't say Im a huge pdf guy so I don't really know the down falls of not having Adobe reader. As stated in the comment below, evidently you can send a pdf using the office hub (not too far off of my guess of skydrive:p)

Thanks for the info! The way I tried doing it was I just downloaded a pdf from a website (though it didn't seem to save it in my office hub) My guess is that if I would have downloaded it from an email it would have saved it there.

As for your email question, no you can't edit the email you are forwarding. (just lets you copy text)

Good question. The only app I tested was Facebook, and the result was still displeasing. I did get a "tile count" on the app before I got the toast notification. However both took longer than my android device. Like I said though, this is just with the Facebook app, so im not sure if its the apps fault or the OS.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] prjkthack:
Personally, it'd be nice to get instant/timely and reliable notifications, but its not a huge deal because of Windows Phone's huge emphasis on glance and go. I still would primarily use Live Tiles or the Me tile to get my notifications, but knowing that push notifications arrived reliably and on-time would be nice.

Oh well. If you test it out some more, post an update. Skype looks like it should get timely notifications when calls are incoming (based on video previews), but it'd be nice for other apps to also get the same treatment.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] hixsonkevin:
Yeah, after talking to a MS employee about the new Skype, evidently WP8 allows new "access" per say into the system for VOIP apps, so apps can evidently get the same treatment as Skype, but Skype is just the first. (not surprising). I actually check for the Skype app in the marketplace at least once a day because I'm excited to try it out and see how well it runs with "timely notifications".

FM radio

Can you tell me if HTC 8X has FM Radio? I heard that Windows Phone 8 dont have radio... Is it true?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] hixsonkevin:
No, I don't believe it does. Though I can say for myself that I never once used it on WP7, or any other OS for that matter. Not too sure why you'd want it. Especially with Pandora coming out with a free year of no ad service :good: :D
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] tfouto:
well too bad. I will go to Android. It's important to me FM Radio. I use it. I just dont get it why Microsoft just fail so badly on simple things.

I really love WP, but i am sick of those stupid restrictions.

Android to me now...
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] prjkthack:
Right, its a new API that devs can plug into to get great VOIP functionality into Windows Phone 8.

Its not like its a Windows Phone restriction, its just not a very common thing to find FM radio on phones anymore. Other high end Android phones lack FM radio, even the iPhone has no FM radio. Especially in this day and age when you can simply stream it all from the Internet, or simply just play your own music off your phone (or use streaming services like Pandora, Xbox Music, Nokia Music, etc.).
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] tfouto:
well FM radio is free. You dont have data bandwith. I dont understand why not FM Radio? It's not that difficult... There's not so rare as you might think. A poll would interesting tough...
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] devize:
I haven't had a phone with an FM radio in years... which top end phones have them these days?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] golfnz34me:
Is there an app for true voice guided turn-by-turn navigation on the phone?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] tfouto:
Is the power button as bad as people say?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] hixsonkevin:
Well, here's the thing. People are demanding sleeker, slimmer, cheaper smart phones. With FM raido, there has to be a dedicated chip for that. However small it may be, it just doesn't make the cut with so many people not ever using it. You even see in modern cars that they are steering away from FM radio with built in SAT and now even built in Pandora Apps.

Do you mean pre installed? If not there has always been Garmin Street pilot. But on non-Nokia (haven't actually used Nokia Drive so not sure how it is) phones it appears as though the turn by turn directions that are built in are not as nice as Google's, though it certainly does the job.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] hixsonkevin:
Good question. I honestly didn't know (up until now) that it was a demanded feature at all, lol

Mmmmm, I will say the power button is a little disappointing. Though it does make for a nice looking phone, it is a bit hard to feel for in the dark. I often find myself searching for the power button on the bottom of the phone in the middle of the night.

I have flashed lots of roms on my friends, relatives and customers T989 (must be close to 20 S2s). Each time, I always followed the developer's direction to the T, i.e., checked, verified MD5, wiped clean and flashed clean, let sit for 12 mins, reboot, and sit for 5 mins, reboot and set up.

So on this particular might, I encountered a rare occurrence that gkt me startled. While reboot from fix permissions in twrp, I noticed that the SD card symbol wouldn't disappear from the notification toggle.

I went into ESFile Explorer, and it said that the "SDCard or USB Storage not properly mounted." So, I pressed the power button for 10 seconds then it reboot but got stuck at the SII International boot animation logo. Had to do battery pull, boot to TWRP, wiped cache/dalvich and fixed permission. After that, it booted normally.

My main concern, or question rather, is tje internal sd/usb storage at risk of "crashing"? Any outlook that anyone can provide would be appreciated.
