The Official Android Thread [OP Updated 1-24-12]

I mean my N6.

My n5 - in airplane mode - can last 10 days on my coffee table.

 

I use Euphoria OS 1.1 for my N6.

 

Are you guys using hangouts or messenger these days? I go back and forth.

 

Hangouts

 

Use Messenger most of the time but do switch back and forth.
Wish they could just be combined because I like features on both.

 

Team messenger

 

Hangouts

 

The 5.0.2 update to the LG G2 has been pretty amazing. I've got so much love for LG after using this thing and seeing them continually improve it along the way

 

Just threw this on today and I like it. Do you have calendar events on your lock screen? I can't get mine to work.

 

Negative. I have a widget for my calendar stuff. It'll probably get fixed somewhat soon though.

 

Team hangouts even though I like Messanger.

 

I'm on textra.

anyone try to sideload lmy47m on the nexus 6? I still haven't gotten the OTA, so I tried two files tonight. kept getting an error 7 code.

 

I'm on the D build. came via OTA. no issues.

 

I doubt I'll get a new tablet for years. This nexus 7 battery lasts forever and it never glitches

 

That and voice feedback on texts (previewing message and recipient) are all I need to go truly hands-free.

 

hangouts

 

The phone I bought off Swappa only came with a weak charger. I bought an Aukey 2.0 charger, and wow it charges fast.

 

LG needs to hurry the fuck up and put their new phone on sale. Y'all bitches are really going to wait 4 fucking weeks?

 

After making the conversion myself over from the iphone my pops and older brother have made the transition.

 

So i have downloaded an app on my phone and ipad. its called at home video streamer. lets me watch what is going on with my dog while im at work. or while im sleeping. basically it is a glorified baby monitor,but should help me figure out why she wakes up when she does and what she does during the day. Obviously this app could be used for many reasons , such as home security or perverted reason. It even allows you to talk to the dog/flash(if using phone as recorder to see if in the dark. you can record, take a picture and set up motion detectors that give you notifications to use it if you dont want it on all the time. Great use of an old phone or computer with camera. Might can catch something to show the vet if something is going on with your dog or someone or something is stealing food, shitting in your yard etc. ITs free and has helped me a lot of stuff with my pup. Im sure their might be a better app out there but thought id give you all the heads up.


sorry about the dog talk

 

Is this cross platform? I'd love to set up my ipad and check in on my dog with my phone.

 

I still can't find a good SMS app that works with iphones 100%. Whether its hangouts, messenger or any of those other ones I always seem to have people that I can't get texts from that have iphones. Don't want to go back to regular messages but might have to.

 

Had this issue with the gf. It worked once she set her iPhone to send messages as sms and it's worked with textra for me. I didn't know messenger was immune to that, but good to know.

 

Go SMS Pro works 95% of the time with me for group and single person text threads, and the lacking 5% seems to be when someone tries to send a picture from iMessenger on their computer.

 

Gonna try messenger again for a week or so.

 

Before I post something substantial: can we talk about carrier plans in here, or would that be considered a tangent?

 

It's kind of a cheap complaint but I'm not liking one thing about this new update. Used to be when I locked my screen while I had music playing, the lock screen would show the album cover. Now I just get that stupid little banner with the song title on the screen.

 

Got a text from straight talk, as a BYOD customer starting next month I get 5GB data/month now instead of 2.

 

My buddy next to me just got that same text

 

I hover right around 1-1.5gb per month though.

 

Shit, I'm consuming close to 15gb between my wife and I

 

I use about 4-8 on Sprint unlimited.

I could use less, but i stream soccer games midweek at my desk.

 

I only use 2-3GB per month but that's mainly bc I'm on wifi pretty much all day.

 

Wife and I use about 2.5 gigs. Must of my time spent on my phone is at home using wifi.

 

My wife's office bitches about people using their wifi and steaming and slowing the network down.

I'm in a regus office and they charge out the ass for data. So we both use our data plan all day

 

That's pretty absurd. Is it a super small company or something?

 

My company complained about employees getting on the wifi as well. They couldn't ever track who was using it but they sent out an email asking employees to stop using it. I can't get it where my office is located anyway.

 

I think it is a decent sized company. Just assholes.

I hope to set up a Wi-Fi connection in my office and connect to that

 

any good company will just network ban the connections for netflix/hulu/watchespn etc.

 

Our wifi is used by guests/customers. They aren't going to block those things because of it.

 

Thank god for VPNs

 

I have my guest wifi throttled like a son of a bitch.

 

God damn it feels good to have Xposed back. Someone finally got a working framework out for 5.1.x

 

I haven't been keeping up. I'm so happy. I want to hug you.

 

You have to be rooted and on a non-Samsung phone. It allows you to install custom modules which can change just about any aspect of your to your liking. My favorite module makes Pandora commercial free, gives unlimited skips, and any time I thumbs up a song it downloads it for me automatically.
