See, that's weird because the family plan I'm on with AT&T is about $170 a month for 30 GB shared + rollover data, and we have something like 400 minutes a month shared but it doesn't matter because of free mobile to mobile and the fact that we have thousands upon thousands of rollover minutes. At this point we'd have to all call a landline for a month straight to hit an overage. The majority of the bill is the data.

Anyone have a Nexus 6 camera app suggestion? Not enjoying the limited feel of the stock app and I wish I had more options.

That looks good! I've got a free $10 from amazon so I'm going to look on their appstore for that. Or not. Looks like I'll just buy it from google! El Jebus fucked around with this message at 01:31 on May 10, 2015 |

I'd considered going with an LTE tablet for my phone, along with a Bluetooth earpiece, but decided to get a big phone instead. I think I prefer the phone, but I'm torn - I carry a bag everywhere I go anyway, and having a larger screen (7-8'') would be nice. Not everyone has a shared plan, though. Can you get a standalone data-only plan for under $30, anyway?

I don't think you can without also paying for a tablet or somehow taking a tablet with data to them and seeing if you can add it onto your plan.

noirstronaut posted:Is it possible to use HTC's emojis on a non HTC phone? Pretty sure it's possible if you have root access. Google it, you'll find a way to replace emojis if you really want to. Don't do it, it's not worth rooting over and dealing with the hassle of not being able to get things like OTA updates and such

I'm rooted using CyanogenMod already. I tried Googling but it's incredibly hard since all the results are some random order of the words. As in "use HTC emojis on nonHTC phone" will give me results on activating HTC emojis on an HTC phone or how to swap the HTC ones out etc.

You know that won't change the emojis people receive, right? It will only change them on your phone. Everyone will still see their normal version.

Kind of. To directly record your phone calls you need to be rooted, but there are apps that turn on your speaker and record that.

And if you subscribe to Google music, you get a YouTube music key meaning that you can listen to YouTube in the background. Love that.

gradenko_2000 posted:Is there an app I can use to record my phone calls? Google Voice has inherent call recording abilities if you have a GV number. Unfortunately it only works on incoming calls to your GV number, no outgoing. Otherwise, there's quite a few call recording apps on the marketplace, but I've not personally tried any. Most record whatever is heard through the mic only, so you have to speaker phone the other person to get their side recorded too.

My needs are simple. I need a weather app capable of creating a widget with hourly weather, very similar to how this appears: http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/14216:4:US I don't need a clock. I don't need wind direction or pressure or radar or any of that. All I want is a widget with a bunch of rows for the hourly weather. Is such a thing available out there?

There are a few oddballs like Amazon devices and stuff in mainland China with no Google integration at all, but Chrome is usually the browser, and is certainly available on the Play Store.
