MySMS is amazing for texting from a computer, tablet, etc and I'm sad it doesn't get enough exposure. Or if you want to fully integrate into Voice, Google Hangouts is awesome too.

AT&T pushed an update to my S5 a few days ago. I now have KitKat 4.4.4! Oh, and the update managed to break smart network switching, so I lose about 10% battery an hour. And since I went a few days without really noticing, I managed to nearly go over my data usage, since I apparently wasn't ever connected to WiFi. The fix? Just don't use smart network switching. Exact words from AT&T support, told me its only affecting a few people, so it isn't a high priority.

One of the more popular ones is to order a Maxx, have it shipped to a trusted XDA poster (who's been doing this for dozens of people) who will ship it to the US for you. Some dude's also reselling them from Puerto Rico on ebay. I didn't do either of these, fwiw. dissss posted:Actually broken WiFi is a relatively common bug on iOS too. My iPad would kill its entire network stack when connecting to my AP. The fact that iOS 8 shares wifi configuration over icloud with OS X made it doubly maddening, since I couldn't point the iPad at a second, working, shittier AP while pointing the rMBP at the nice AP without MASSIVE amounts of janitoring.

There's a difference between an anonymous source tipping off a news site that a soak is going out and posting quotes directly from the private forum. I, for one, would like to continue having soak tests and they may nix them altogether if they feel they can't control them enough.

I have a Nexus 5 as my very first smartphone and it's running lollipop 5.0.1. Seems to work great to me (with no other reference points besides fiddling with the occasional iOS device). I'm seen a lot of complaints about having to restart a phone and I guess I just don't get what the issue is. Can't stop watching that anime for two minutes to restart the phone? edit: still poo poo at typing with swipe writing after 3 weeks.

If you have to restart your phone with any regularity (ignoring updates), that's an issue.

I have a Nexus 4 on Lollipop and just picked up a decent bluetooth headset for the road. How can I get the caller ID read aloud? Messing w/ the TalkBack settings right now, but it reads everything. Is there an option buried somewhere that I am missing?

"Is it really that big of a deal that your car which previously worked fine came back from the dealer and the windshield wipers now stop working unless you turn them off and on a few times?" Well, in one sense its not a big deal. I mean, thousands of kids are dying from preventable diseases. On the other hand, the phone used to work fine.

Did you not read what I wrote? It doesn't matter that the NDA is unenforceable. If they find too many people are violating it, then they are likely to end the soak test program once and for all. It was actually specifically called out about discussion of a soak test in a private community is what they were having issue with. So, to me, that says either SA or XDA. Just stop pissing in the pool people.

I'm in the car running Waze around 1.5-2 hours everyday. Will having the phone connected to a charger the entire time it's in the car have any long term effect on batter life? Would it be better to avoid charging in the car, only charging once a day over night? I just got a new phone, and it's battery is actually decent enough that on most days I can leave the screen on in the car w/o charging and still not need to charge at all until bedtime.

So with the whole "carriers must legally unlock or face prison time" extravaganza, I got my ATT unlock code and did it today (Note 4). Ever since then its randomly rebooted like 8 times in the past 5 hours. WTF. Samsung'd or something more sinister? It had never, not once randomly rebooted before. SIM unlock? Reboot city. Nothing else has changed.

I've had dozens of devices, primarily Samsung, unlocked and never experienced that. It's likely unrelated and coincidental. Try a factory reset, it'll keep the unlock.

We should maybe have a goon recommendation blurb in the OP like: Flagship: 1. Sony Z3 ~ Droid Turbo 2. Moto X (2014) ~ HTC One M8 -- n. OnePlus One Phablet: 1. Nexus 6 ~ Galaxy Note 4 Small: 1. Sony Z3 Compact Value: 1. Moto X (2013) 2. Moto G 4G (2013) ~ Moto G 4G (2014)

LastInLine posted:HTC was already protecting you as a customer by not having a dumb "feature" like Smart Networking. Samsung does this all the time where they make a feature that is essentially a toggle between expected normal behavior and some wacky alternative and they call the normal behavior "Smart [feature]". HTC on the other hand would just make the usable state the only available state and just leave it at that, but then they can't claim to have both networking and smart networking. I understand this argument. But you can always turn off the "smart" feature and use Tasker to do it for you. It's the only way to get consistency across different devices if you switch phones a lot. Split-screen multitasking work beautifully on my S4, that excuses Samsung's other 90% gimmick "smart features".
