pandaK posted:Are those tempered glass screen protectors worth it? If so, does anyone have any suggestions for the Note 4 and Note Edge? I have one and they're cheap enough to not be obnoxiously priced. At $5-$10 a pop they're nice and they can make people believe you don't have a screen protector on. From my understanding, they will shatter and absorb the impact so the screen is unaffected. Sort of like a car bumper. I'm told these are the new hotness (if pricier): http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Scratch-Bubble-free-Fingerprint-Protector-Replacement/dp/B00R421E8E/ That being said, I got two other branded ones for my Z3C and one of them was a total lemon and would recognize my key presses as swipes so............

My One Max has a fingerprint reader, and it works fine, but I just don't find myself using it at all. Maybe because it's on the back...

Any recommendations for a Bluetooth keyboard to use with a nexus 5? Is like to be able to take notes during meetings without lugging around a10 lbs laptop.

My experience with bluetooth keyboard on an android tablet is really bad. Every time you start typing, you have to tap the space or whatever key a couple times to wake it up. Using a bt keyboard on a w8 tablet is slightly better, I would call it "barely usable". whatever7 fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Feb 7, 2015 |

I do use some USB charger hubs to good effect (I think they're Anker ones with 5 or 6 ports...I don't have it in front of me), but the retractable cables don't do much to clean up the mess because they just kind of dangle there and they only retract reliably for awhile before you've got to start messing with them to get them to retract. pandaK posted:Are those tempered glass screen protectors worth it?

Yeah, $50 is cheaper, but a $100 chromebook is like so much better its not even funny. For $125, I bought a refurbished Acer C720p which is arguably the best Chromebook, and I love the thing.

I gotta hand it to HTC. My m7 (carrier version) I got in may 2013 on JB, recieved kit kat and today it got pushed 5.0.2. First time I've had a handset actually get two OS bumps. It's a nice change of pace from the one major update and that's about it of previous generations.

Because a Chromebook is not meaningfully heavier/larger than a Bluetooth keyboard and a massively better solution. Comparative cost is a concern though.

My Nokia e90 was perfect for this pre-iPhone revolution, it should be possible to refresh this with a modern touch screen on both sides and get a decent thickness nowadays  It was the only physical keyboard phone that was actually better than what we have today.

Nobody will build another physical keyboard phone ever, maybe it's time to kickstart something. What's the deal with Moto G mk1 and Lollipop? I just checked if my parents' unlocked global GSM (purchased in the US) phones got updated and they have not, still on 4.4.something. Doing the manual update check doesn't do anything either.

I was certain I read it was already being pushed out like a month if not two ago and so thought it was just a matter of staggered release or something like that. I actually have little desire for Lollipop (especially in its current state), and just wanted to test the new NFC WiFi password share feature. That I now realized the G doesn't have anyway.

Picked up a Nexus 6 after my LG G2 bit the dust. Also ended up with a gift card to Best Buy who of course, carry no kinds of anything for the Nexus 6. Any case/screen protector recommendations? Or other accessories. The wireless charging sounds cool, but for 50 bucks it's a bit steep...

Tylt Vu is pretty cool but turbo charging is better.

Speaking of Tylt Vu the car charger is finally out (only available in gray pad so far, the other colors aren't out yet). I'm getting one because the iOttie wireless charger mount clips aren't wide and deep enough for my Note4 w/ case. I don't really like the base of the mount, but hopefully if the pad isn't as good as the iOttie's and it's a standard ball thing I'll just use one of my iOttie bases.
