[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Ok. I have an 64GB OCZ Vertex 4 SSD (for those that dont know these are one of the fastest you can currently get)... Allocated space was about 59.5 Gb's. After OS install and Hibernation removed i had a good chunk left for a few games (Skyrin, FO3, FO:NV to name a few) it was down to about roughly 4Gb's of space. Took me a while to firgure out why it was taking more that 30 Seconds for my PC to boot. I ran the WEI and it was telling me that my SSD was rated at 5.9 (7200 RPM rating) Before it was a 7.8... I know the WEI means nothing but when that happened i knew something wasnt right... I removed the larger games and my speed came back. ever since i leave about 10-15Gb's of space on it so i dont get a slow down... take it with a grain of salt if you want but this is what happened and how i fixed it. Same thing was happening over at the Nexus 7 forums on the 16GB tablets... less than 3Gb's left on the device and it got super slow. a few benchmarks were done by AndroidPolice and it showed that ... cant be any more clear that that... just how the technology is...

take it or leave it idc just felt like sharing some info

OCZ isn't very good. For one thing, their failure rate on the past Vertex drives has been atrociousness. I had one that lasted a year, got a Samsung and it has been MUCH faster. And I can go over 80% without slowdowns...
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
I really wasn't going for reliability. Plus it was on sale for $50.

Sorry OP for going off topic
[HTC Droid DNA] milan03:
Nah this is a good subject. Just to note that although it's all NAND, phone's flash grade is probably the lowest, and shouldn't really be compared to SATA III SSDs. I've been using SandForce based in my laptop, it's been almost three years, still reads/writes at about 250MB/s. It's SATA II only.
[HTC Droid DNA] cast_also:
I've had 3 OCZ SSDs, beginning around 3 years ago. None of them have failed yet. Anecdotal evidence is just that.

You can Google anything failing and you will get results
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Does that make it less true? Its been documented that OCZ has a high failure rate on SSDs.

Denying it doesn't make it false.

http://forums.storagereview.com/index.php/topic/31477-ssd-failure-return-rates/

I don't even know why we are debating this. It has been well known in the SSD community that OCZs are stupidly fast and also prone to fail.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Its fine I wasn't denying anything I was just showing that anything can fail at any time, some have higher rates than others. I wanted wicked fast speeds so I got a OCZ so far I love it and would keep buying them. I plan on getting another ssd with larger capacity

Hey all, just got my S3. Have been living on a G2 for a full 2 years. Had no issues, didnt see a need to upgrade. But I finally did.

I do a lot of news browsing on my fone, part of my job, i was able to double tap the text portion and my G2 would center and fit to screen just the text of the articles. Havent been able to figure out that on my S3. Is it even possible or do i just have to try and zoom and landscape view everything?

Another quick question, quick closing web page currently viewing. Say I was reading an article on one webpage and another window had say um er porn, how would i quick close the porn and go back to the article. (girlfriend is a quiet walker)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] clothednblack:
I use xscope browser, swipe to the side and the screen changes to your other open page and dbl tap zoom works.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MrMakeveli:
Regarding the text resize issue, the default browser should have that functionality. Check that settings > advanced > auto fit is enabled. If I was worried about hiding pr0n fast I would just hit home and open something random. It'd be like to key presses. I'm guessing switching tabs would have to be the same or more.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Stock browser has a reading mode. On a lot of sites press the green R in the address bar. Not quite the same but can be nice to use.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
This made me chuckle.

Why not just hit the home button ?

Is it really more believable to be going at it to an article about stool softener, solar panels, or Obama than your homescreen ? Homescreen's probably less awkward than Obama, man, unless your girlfriend is into that.

Also, browsers have tabs. Just switch tab ? Delineate browser usage by function ?

Or just look at porn together or something that way you don't have to hide it. :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joem32380:
Thanks guys, the autofit actually helped a lot.

"checking for hemoroids" is a good excuse for the pants around the ankles. Has worked for me.

After I realized that my N10 came with Quickoffice HD, I tried to open doc, docx, ppt with it and it just gives me the error that says that the file can't be opened.

I have the paid version of Quickoffice Pro installed so maybe that's why? The paid version can open all the files no problem. :confused:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qocarekeri:
Are you trying to open from local storage, email attachment, downloaded file, cloud app (which one)?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaffob:
Local, downloaded
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qocarekeri:
In that case, you might want to submit a ticket into our system from our help site (link in my profile - click on billing questions, we're in the middle of construction right now). You'll need to set up an account with our help desk before we see your ticket (you'll get instructions via email), and it would help if you linked us to a couple of example files, and linked to this discussion as well.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaffob:
It is not a billing question tho.

The pre-installed version is 5.7.2 HD and I'm getting these screens whenever I try to open files.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qocarekeri:
No worries - this is a new user account I set up seperate from my personal for Quickoffice support, and it's under the post limit for links (so I can't provide a direct link). We're actually in the middle of revamping our help site to make it easier to submit tickets, but for the time being, it's the easiest way to submit one. :) All submissions go to the same team, and I'll be on the lookout for yours.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
hey guys,

I have had a Evo 4 G LTE for a while now and am fairly happy... for me the S3 and the Evo 4 G LTE are fairly similar... now both might have some pluspoints in one category and some others in another, but here is my question...

my wife is now on my old evo 4G. Her plan is up and she can buy a new phone...

Now the 2 i consider are Evo 4G LTE and S3 since they still seem to dominate the market...

My wife does not necessarily wanna root her device and she is not as involved as me...

Still are there any pros to having 2 same phones, that i am not aware of? meaning buying a second EVO LTE ?

Or are there any Pro about having 2 different phones? Any EVO 4 LTE Owner out there?? What does your significant other own?

If she is not into phone hacking. Get the iPhone 5. :(

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fishpony:
If it was me, S3 for sure. The lte problems I'm having suck. Can't wait to find an s3 for myself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deathsnuggle:
If she can't tinker, get her an iPhone 5. I've had people constantly ***** and moan about android being slow only to find they never uninstalled anything...ever. iPhone is a smart phone for dumb people.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rubyknight:
Evo all the way. That way any apps you share, any texts and pictures you send, etc. will all work the same. And Sense is more user friendly than touchwiz will ever be. It's the closest you can get to the IPhone for user experience (and the reviews and consumer reports back it up). The dedicated camera button also helps a lot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] raclimja:
S3 is the most overrated and overhyped phone ever. if you do not like your 4g LTE, look at the droid razr maxx hd, it has one of the largest battery while staying in reasonable form factor. Build quality is also superb. Nexus 4 is also a very good phone as it has one of the fastest cpu (quad core s4 pro) and the build quality is also superb. The only downside is it lacks microsd. The upcoming Sony yuga is also very good choice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
Get her the EVO LTE. My wife had the OG EVO and now has the EVO LTE and loves it. She is stock/no root and is not interested either. Being that she was used to the sense UI on the OG EVO, the EVO LTE was a perfect phone for her. Don't change it up by going with an S3 or even the iphone5, it will probably just confuse and fustrate her having to learn the UI all over again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
thanks for the responses so far...

I was thinking sticking with Android since she has my Evo 4G right now and also we have the same apps... and i can help more since i have never owned or held or used an Iphone... that would be complete new for me as well... and I am just loyal to Android...

anyways...

thought about N4 too... but that is GSM or? our plan is on Sprint....she would not care about SD card so much I believe.. she does not watch movies on the phone or watches podcasts... storage would be mainly for photos and camermovies...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 2k4mach:
+1 on that. my wife has the s3, she had her choice between it and the evolte and she just liked the s3 better. my daughter has the ip5 and loves it and i hate to admit it but i somewhat like it as well. love apples find my iphone app, check up on her anytime i want lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
I have my EVO LTE rooted & s off,and I must say I would personally rather have the evo over the s3. If she's used to sense and is abusive I would get the HTC evo LTE, however if your wife doesn't drop things or bang it around I would say go with the s3, the s3 is pretty bad ass when not rooted. I have both devices and I will say the s3 is easier to use. Not to mention the s3 is also noticeably faster
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
I bought the wife a GS3 on black friday and she loves it. But she is basically a noob on android and has no idea what the phone can even do.

A bit of background.................She was using an OG Evo, (I rooted it and put meanrom on it) she abused that phone........so for the last 2 months I gave her my retired Evo 3D.....in 2 months she made it look like it was 5 years old. Broke the red ring around the camera, the side of the bezel is coming off on both sides. So I bought her the GS3 for $50 on black friday.

She has no idea what root is other than its what lets her use her kindle on the train in the mornings, lol. I play with it every once in a while but I definately like the evo experiance better. But the only good I found for having 2 different phones was to actually see if there was a difference getting LTE on my EVO and her GS3. And for me there is no difference, they both hold the signal the same.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iamkoza:
I'm in the same spot as you, my wife has an OG evo... her contract isnt up yet, but I have been telling her to get the S3 ( i have the evo 4g lte)... too many annoying quirks with the stock evo 4g lte... now if the jelly bean update actually comes... and actually fixes wifi bounce or the issues with the 4g lte signal... then i will be telling her to get the evo... if i could do it all over again, I would get an s3 ( I was a day one OG Evo buyer and really liked the phone)... just because it has a larger user base and more development as far as I can tell.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pbedard:
Still no lte fix on the evo lte and its been 6 monthes since it came out

gs3 with android 4.2 cm10.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AB33:
After owning both phones, the EvoLTE wins in some areas and the GS3 wins in some areas. I personally chose to leave the EvoLTE becuase of the 4G problems, locked battery, and constant Sense freeze ups. I don't think your wife will have as many apps, contacts, and need for extra batteries like me so you might as well keep the interface consistent by sticking with HTC since she is already using the OG Evo.

The EvoLTE has a better screen, camera, and keyboard.

The GS3 has a removable battery, better 4G signal, more intuitive software/shortcuts, and better multitasking.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
Get her the S3
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
4 G problems are currently not a problem here since no LTE is available as off yet... eventhough it was planned to be running by now....

I guess possible root from teh evo iw ould be more familiar with.... on the other side my mother in law has a S2... so she might be attracted to get the next model her mom got...The multitasking still buggs me out BIG TIME... but it is somewhat under control in Mean Rom i am running....

she does abuse phones... as far as just throwing it in the purse... that beeing said i still have a good Seido cover on my OG EVO ... so it absorbs most of the scratches... still she doesnt care about phones that much... they just land in the bottom of the purse...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bigmoogle:
Has she looked at the phones?

I'm the more phone techy one, so it may be just me but I'd be a bit disturbed if my husband gave me a phone with out my input.

FWIW, I had the Evo OG, rooted it. I thought about getting SGIII but I preferred Sense over Touch wiz and I liked how Evo LTE felt in my hand.

Finally, not everyone wants an iPhone even if the phone remains stocked and unrooted. I wish people would stop suggesting the iPhone as the default.

Sent from my EVO LTE Form tapa talk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bigmoogle:
FWIW, I have the Evo LTE, husband has the Evo shift (he wanted a physical keyboard) and daughter has the iPhone. We all have our preferences and so we ended up with different phones. When I was looking, I did ask my husband for his suggestion, and he picked SGIII. So much for the husband's suggestion...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igotlostintampa:
Wellll....

If you get it the evo lte and throw jelly bean on it for her before you give it to her, then i would suggest doing that :) as the evo lte is amazing and the s3 is a gimmick phone that is being sold based on the feature that both the s3 and the evo lte posses.

But i mean >.> if you were getting ME a phone id say go with the Note II :) cause it has better battery life, and a bigger screen that still fits in your pocket.

and as for any response saying a razr (sprint doesn't carry them) so unless you wanna spend 500+ on a phone so you can unlock and switch to sprint i would say stick with sprint phones....

Don't let LadyX hear you say that...lol ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
Get her the GS3...iPhones and Galaxy s3's are in the same boat in my eyes. For chick's and someone who doesn't want to tinker.. My wife has the s3 and loves it. She also hasn't changed the wallpaper or the standard clock widget and still has all of the stock widgets on most of the home screens lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
Yeah I don't for see her doing anything... She doesn't even download apps herself normally, only what is on it and what I download for her... So in the end it might really not even matter... Who knows? The OG what I gave her about 3 month ago is her first smart phone... She just started txting about 1 years ago on regular basis...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
FWIW my wife went from the OG EVO and was reluctant to change phones. Got her the GS3 and haven't heard a peep since. She's happy, says it takes great pictures of her stupid cats and chinchilla. And the battery doesn't die half way through the day.. She is getting into using data a little more these days I see from the phone bill but still doesn't crack a gig a month.

may i suggest a phone that no one has mentioned. it seems crazy but the LG optimus G is really nice got it for my my girlfriend and she loves it. she likes it enough she had the chance to have a s3 and she still choose her phone.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jejb:
My wife and I were both on the OG Evo. I upgraded 3 months or so ago to the Evo LTE. Thought about the S3 but most reviews say the camera is better on the HTC and that was the #1 reason for my upgrade. When the wife upgraded a month or so later, after her mom also got an Evo LTE, she went with the S3. Why? Because she liked the blue color. Seriously. She's in IT, is a programmer, but not what you'd call a techy. I will not root this one for her as it was useless to have done it on her OG. She likes it, and likes being a little different than me or her mom.

However, she had issues right away with text messages not sending sometimes. Resets, store visits, etc until she finally threw in the towel at day 12 and traded it on an Evo LTE. She really liked the S3, though, and often said something about liking it more. I suspect mostly for the reasons I stated above. I didn't use my upgrade when I got my LTE, so finally decided to get her another S3 on my upgrade. I was hoping to keep that in my back pocket for the next "wow" phone, but making her happy is more important. We had a scare with the new one last night as it was losing pictures. She was PISSED and kicking herself. One shot opportunity pictures. And we're just outside the 14 days, so Sprint said take a hike basically. But as it turned out, it was a bad sd card (SanDisk Class 10 32gb, 2 months old). It had dropped some sectors. Luckily the files got put in a lost.dir folder with no file extensions and I was able to get them back. So she's back to using it, but really gunshy of it, given all the issues she's had with the 2 she's had.

I do all the setup and tweaking on the phones. I think that both are good phones. I like the camera and interface better on the LTE, but really don't think you could go far wrong with either.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
ok little update,

seems like S3 is coming on sale on the weekend at BB. for 49$... I might just get one S3 today and get it price matched tomorrow when on sale....

reset it back to stock for my phone and then let her choose at Christmas... but 49$ for a S3 seems to be a good deal!.... don't cha think!?

Now one think for the S3 was the upgrade to Jelly Bean, well the Evo just strtaed the upgrade to Jelly Bean too... so what now !?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Great deal for sure. Have you tried the JB update on the LTE yet? I think your wife might be happier with the LTE now that it has JB
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
well I am on Mean Rom, so I did not take the OTA update.

Think the Dev will come out soon with a custom Rom based on JB. I have seen Jb on the Nook and on the N7, but they are obviously both phones.... tried on room based on JB on my phone, but that didnt work to great for one or another reason... I am happy to wait a couple of days for the new MEAN BEAN ROM.... or whatver the name might be...

Anyways... in 10 days (Christmas) the new ROM is probably up. and she can decide which one she wants to go with....

If you or anyone else has any other thoughts please feel free to share... I can still change my mind... (looks like the Poll seems to favor S3)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Make a nandroid backup if meanrom and then run the viper jb stock ROM to see how jb is on the evo. You probably won't want to go back.
