I agree with you though, privacy is important.

However, the information google use/take isn't ever going to cause an issue to my life, so there's no reason for me to get worked up worrying about nothing. So what if they have some records of where I've been, or any wifi passwords I've let them save, what negatives can actually happen arising from that?

Fair enough if it's just a matter of principle, but there's no actual need to worry about anything happening.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] cobaltleo:
The problem with that thinking is that 1 your expecting them to obey the laws and 2 you don't know what level of protection they or their partners that they share your info with have in place, and how easily it can be uses to steal your identity. What is a internet the if "is" your neighbor we give out our email address freely with that if they hax Google they can now remotely access your WiFi and put a keystroke logger on your network. Sounds a bit far fetched but just think just because you live in a good neighborhood don't you still lock your doors at night?

Perhaps if total privacy is that big a deal some users would be better off with some paper and a pen? Then again "They" will be watching your every move anyway.... [insert fiendish cackle]

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] bebiisgod:
They had things nowadays that doesnt need your email and they can hack you. Just promoting a wifi signal is bad enough for a good hacker to get personal info without you knowing. Not to make ppl paranoid but its out there. Google is pretty good about privacy stuff in my experiences. There is always room for improvement regardless the OS or service you choose.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Anderson2:
Sorry when you find out otherwise.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Mort432:
If privacy is really a big issue for you, and you don't like the Movie/Books google play apps, why not install Cyanogenmod?

It comes without any GAPPS (Google Applications) so you're totally disconnected from Google, and you save the space Movie/Books etc would usually take up.

If you need GAPPS later, they can easily be installed onto Cyanogenmod so you can always change your mind.

You're on a 2013 Nexus 7 so unlocking/rooting/flashing for you is gonna be a breeze.

If you don't already have the latest Nexus Root Toolkit, get it and keep it on your computer, it's about to become your best friend.

Easy backups, easy restores, easy unlock/root/flash/custom recovery and a whole bundle of other useful features.

If you want to return the device to the manufacturer, NRT will even let you unroot/unflash it.

I have an MJA (rooted, ODEXED) and phone is officially unlocked by Sprint.

Im now in India and am using a third party sim(Vodafone). Everything is working as expected, but the phone number showing in 'settings --> more --> about device --> status' shows my older Sprint number.

I tried removing and reinserting the sim number, didnt change anything.

Any changes required to override to make this read the number from the sim card?..

[Moto X Q&A] cdsn99:
Hi all, i'm trying to follow the instructions in the original moto x development thread to root the device now that it has taken the 4.4 update. I'm unclear on the steps, if someone could please help. it says at the beginning of the thread

First you must use MotoWPNoMo, if you haven't then you will need to. Use RockMyMoto to gain root, then use MotoWPNoMo, and then restore to the 4.2.2 Camera update.

is this all done before step 1 in the directions? if so, i tried to run MotoWPNoMo but it failed at the end.

Is it possible to just use rsd lite and write the earlier software to phone, and then start with step 1?

Any input on clearing up the steps would be appreciated. I've been reading since last night and still not clear on what needs to be done first. I just don't want to mess up the procedure. Thanks

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
I was prowling the isles in rite aid (yes the pharmacy place) while my mom was getting her meds (she is nuts :) and while browsing the junk isle I found some cheap bluetooth headphones.

$30. figured ok for $30 they probably suck and they don't "look" amazing by any stretch. hey 25% off.. so $22.50 and I buy them. at the register I get a $6 coupon so I go back and grab another pair in red figure maybe a gift? at $16 who cares!

I get home jack them in and .... well my mind is simply blown. no other way to put it.

I just paid $22.50 for a set of wireless bluetooth headphones that sound better than some $100 wired headphones I have tried. No joke. I can't believe it. I try song after song and just can't get over how freaking good they sound. I think. Fluke. I rip open the other package. SAME.

good solid bass. won't rattle your skull but definitely not "missing" bass. good highs good mids good balance. good volume (won't blow your ear drums but I turned them down a notch) I can't believe it.

I bought them figuring to make them a skype gaming headset and now they are also my primary music cans too. I am already thinking mods to increase battery life (stock is 10 hours) custom paint and larger muffs to fit over my gigantor ears.

NOW they are half off !!! $15 freaking dollars. I bought another pair and have plans to buy at least 2 more if I can for modding hacking and just having extra's. they sound that damned good.

GO to a rite aid right now if you can. pull them out of the pack pair it to your phone and TRY IT. if you HAVE $16 in your pocket (tax) you WILL be buying them. they really are just that good.

from CRAIG of all things. I can't believe they are so good.

Here is a little video review I put online (in 4k!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMvYESOMmAY

go give them a listen. you won't be disappointed. they sound that good especially for $15. they work well for phone calls too. thinking about modding a set with a boom mic. should not be that hard to do. bigger muffs and a boom plus some orange paint equals perfection!

they also have a convertible tower speaker system (with line in 3.5 in BT in and fm radio and remote) half off $30. I grabbed a set. it was broken out of the box (second speaker no joy but 5 minutes later my soldering iron fixed that (wire was not connected)

"shockingly" good. not as "wow" as the headphones (those are simply astonishing) but pretty damned good for the price and they look nice too. I am going to put a set in the camper and get another one to hack up and put some quality speakers inside with a woofer. :)

they also had a sound bar for $30 but it was a two speaker bar and seemed pretty janky to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] indecentspeech:
I bought these www.amazon.com/dp/B0070UKBO8/ for $45 and they are awesome.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TheLoonyRebel:
For $15 I would give a pair of these a shot myself. Sadly there's no Ride Aid stores in my area and for that matter nobody seems to carry them locally in my area as well. Bummer as I wouldn't mind finding a good replacement for my semi aging Motorola S805.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
you can get them around $40 online. they truly "ARE" worth the price. I would never have bought a pair for $40 without having listened to them.

after listening to them. instantly. they really are that good. at least to my ears. so far I am 100 for 100. every single person I have had listen to them has bought a pair. even got a rite aid employee to buy a pair tonight :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
here is a pair on ebay

111247675824

$40 shipped $30 if you "bid" instead of buy it now and no one outbids you.

very worth it. I am even thinking of nabbing a few to resell (they want $78 on amazon. that's nuts)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Good find, definitely cheap enough! If I didn't have the Motorola S11 Flex HD (which I absolutely love!) then I'd try these out.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] art90262:
I went and got these.....for 15dlls they ARE awesome. No they wont blow away any audiophiles outthere but for the price u get way more than what u paid for. Good find and thanks for the tip
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] refinition:
Do you have any model numbers?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
Hmmm. I don't "see" any model numbers. I just did a search for Craig Bluetooth Headset. forget amazon that seller is nuts $78. I bought a few to put on ebay for $40 (worth a shot) No link I think that would be inappropriate for this forum.

Gonna write a letter to craig and let them know how good they are. they really need to keep making these.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bignibb:
I just bought a pair of these and for the price they are awsome. I have owned the Beats Studio, Executives, Wireless, and the Pro's. I don't think those are worth the price but if you have to have that little b on the side of your headphones then go for it. I personally think that they are not worth the price but these are. I was talking to my 15 year old daughter about fixing her $ 180 beats that her mom bought her against my advise and she broke them within 3 months. I told her that I could get a set of cheap head phone and put the speakers from her beats in them so that she could have the better speakers in the cheap headphones. She said "they wouldn't say beats" so when I unboxed these and paired them and she could hear how loud they were she was begging for them and I said but "they are not Beats" and laughed at her.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
thats when you get a beats sticker and slap it on the side :) hehe plus I was simply not impressed with the sound of the beats. I honestly think these sounds better. not as loud no. not as much bass either (but I considered the beats to be over powered)

I tried "souls" too they sounded like crap.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pinoiryder:
I just pickup one of these.. have not tested it out yet.. but the store i got it from still have several of them.. 1 more blue several whites one and a couple of black ones.. if this is good like the OP says.. i might pick up several more.. BDAY gifts in the future..

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bignibb:
The beats solo's are like 200 bucks and these sound far better than those and they sound just as good as the wireless ones which are 280 I think. The only thing I wish these had would be a wire back up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pham818:
so like if i go out right now, to rite aid, it's only 16 dollars?

EDIT, is the battery rechargeable or what?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rusto:
Yep they're rechargeable, I ended up buying 3 of these. They're hard to find in my area though. Most Rite Aid stores are out because they're a clearance item now. Went to 5 stores and in two I got my collection. The third store I went to had a red and the fifth had a white and a blue. They sound pretty damn good for what they are. The price is $29.99 but now they're half off at $14.99, so better hurry.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pham818:
yeah, will check it out first thing tomorrow morning, saw this post around 11 pm haha.

EDIT; @op, does BT drain a lot of battery?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jonphinguyen7:
Most of these things use Bluetooth Low Energy so it shuoldn't. However, streaming and playing music is usually a battery hog.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pham818:
got the the headphones, tbh, they feel like 30 dollar headphones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kudosmog:
If you do end up doing any mods to them I'd be interested since the ear cups are just way too small for me. If I could mod the ear cups, I'd be quite happy with these.

I picked up a pair also.

Yup, they definitely feel like cheap headphones. I question how long they'll last.

But they sound surprisingly good. Great deal for 16 bucks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pham818:
yeah its def worth 16 bucks, i was just expecting too much from what the OP said about how its better than beats and soul headphones haha.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flexte:
I paid 16 and they do sound good . the only problem is they are big and do not fit right on my head. definitely cant use them in the gym or while running.

i got these recently, now 75% off and around $7.50 a set! way too good to pass up. got a second set to do as a b-day gift. they *feel* cheap, but it's the sound the matters with headphones / headsets, right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Cojam1:
Thanks OP!!! Purchased 2 today for 75% off @ $7.49 each. Great value imho.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pete4k:
I picked one, since that's all local rite aid had, will try other stores tomorrow, for wife. They sound very good and price can't be beat, as a matter of fact they could be modded very easily as well, but seem perfectly fine for me as is. The only thing I need to do is put some thick stickers on controls, so I can feel them, otherwise keep pressing wrong area, for volume and forward/back when on my head and I can't see it. Maybe down the road I'll need to upgrade the batteries, but for now 10hrs is more than enough.

Thanks OP for heads up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jsdecker10:
Dang, I wish I could get in on this deal somehow.. we don't have any Rite Aid pharmacies close by. All we really have around here are CVS, Walgreen's, and a bunch of mom n pop pharmacies. The closest Rite Aid is a couple of towns over, like 40 miles away. =/ Do you think these "Craig" headphones you're talkin about may ALSO be manufactured under a different name, by chance? Because I checked out both the Walgreen's AND CVS yesterday and didn't see any Craig stuff, but they had several other different "off brands" that MAY be comparable to these Craigs, but I'm not really wantin to play trial and error lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nataka3211:
Looks nice, not bad! Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ichiduo:
i may bump this thread later in the year. just went to craig's website to see if i could get more info on these headsets and here's what i (and other posters purchased):

http://www.craigelectronics.com/site/pdetails.php?id=578

the one thing i want to highlight is this part:

charging it once a day, that's less than a year of life for these headsets.

the thing is, i may only use the headsets for 3 hours tops while working out, so people could theoretically make them last a couple of years if they almost drain the battery before recharges.

as far as what happens after 300 recharges, i don't know.. their website doesn't say. i hope it just won't hold as much of a charge as i don't really see myself using it for 10 hours. if it holds just a 4 hour charge after 300 recharges, that's fine. if the battery is completely dead, then it's $7.49 out the window, lol! :laugh:

but if anyone wants to look for these online, maybe... the model is the cbh508.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] refinition:
The battery will probably wear out over the 300 times, leading to a dodgy battery at the end of its life.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ichiduo:
i don't have an issue with the battery holding less of a charge. it's if it doesn't hold a charge at all that would have me :( .

hopefully it can hold at least a 4 hour charge after 300 recharges. that would be fine by me. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] refinition:
I'm just wondering what kind of battery the headset uses..if its only 300 charges its pretty bad imo
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ichiduo:
yeah, it is bad. 300 charges is nothing. the website also says it's not user replaceable either.

then again, these are $30 bluetooth headsets (that are now $7.50). i pay more for a burger and fries. lol! some of the cost cutting had to come from some place and it looks like they cut it from the battery.

if the op does mod his with a better battery, i may try it on mine. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
300 charges? its 330 MAH (that is how big the battery is) and its good for 10 hours.

even "crappy" lithium cells last a year with 50% of their power left so 5 hours. should last a couple of years and should not be too hard to replace the cell.

I have not gotten around to taking them apart yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ichiduo:
i just need the headsets to last longer than my workouts. :laugh:

for $7.49, i'm hardly complaining about any negatives that may arise. just letting people know some info i dug up from craig's website. :good:

they are a great pair of bluetooth headsets for the price and i was able to snag two pairs. :cool:

keep us posted if you change out the cells. craig's website says it's not user replaceable, but if there's a d.i.y. tutorial put up by someone, i'm more than happy to give it a go.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
False.

sent from my sm-9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pete4k:
All Lithium batteries are rated for about 300-600 charge cycles (I think it's down to 50% original charge, but I'm not sure), depending on individual cells, how deeply they're discharged etc, so 300 charges listed on Craig web site is pretty much standard, I wouldn't expect them to list maximum and then deal with customers complaining "they only got 599 cycles". I can't see myself using them 10 hours a day, everyday anyhow. If the batteries are not user replaceable, it means soldering them, not a big deal, the challenge would be to buy them for less than the cost of headphones.The only thing I worry about is missing physical power switch, I suspect without it, some electronics have to be active to detect power on press and that drains batteries all the time, albeit probably at very low rate, maybe even insignificant, compared to self discharge, but still.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ichiduo:
first off, thanks for the info. :good:

if you hold the phone / play button, while the device is on, it eventually turns off.

dammit. I could not resist. at $7.49 a nj rite aid had a blue pair so I bought another blue pair :)

also nabbed some more of the LED desklamps a pocket watch and a couple other trinkets at 75% off. could not resist :)

I want to find some more of those tower speakers. $15 is low enough that I will get 2 or 3 of them just to screw around with.
