Yeah depending on which version of Android and what phone its in different spots. Also take note that by default Titanium backup saves your backup to the internal SD. You will need to move the folder to the external and then point to it in the preferences option if you do decide to move it.

For the S III owners on T-Mobile, don't forget to download your free copy of the Avengers in MediaHub like how they gave a copy of Avatar on the original Galaxy S:

we've been grandfathered in, but now we're out. My dad upgraded our plan and signed a new two year contract i believe? I dunno, whatever he did, he did cause he got a good deal on the S2 and S3 for him and my bro.

Yes, I have a Nexus and I'm on Verizon
Was pleasantly surprised when the OTA update popped up, but is it me or did Verizon make it take longer than necessary? I thought Nexus phones were usually really fast at rolling out updates.

at the same time, I'm sure S3 owners in the US will get their updates soon as well? Within a couple of months, tops? I haven't been in the Android world long enough to know what to expect.
I mean, if it was already released in Europe for the same phone...

GSM nexus had it in late july I believe.

Yep. Verizon took their time. They probably wanted to add their bloatware which made their testing phase longer. Also they were having issues with their LTE and they wanted to make sure it was working fine. Word is that Motorola/Google is pissed at Verizon about the whole Bionic thing. They're starting to strongarm Verizon with the new RAZRi and are threatening to leave Verizon hanging with no new phones if they keep delaying updates. Samsung is supposedly waiting for the outcome and if Verizon screws this up they'll only be left with just the iPhone to sell in the next coming months.

25 Billion Downloads in Play Store
Google just announced that the Play Store just surpassed 25 Billion downloads. How will they celebrate? By selling certain apps, movies, books, magazines for $0.25 for the next 5 days. I can use some of the $25 credit I have left from my Nexus 7. I love these sales!
http://officialandroid.blogspot.com/...downloads.html
Whether you’re looking for directions, checking email or sharing a picture with friends, apps are now an indispensable part of life. And if you’re using Android, it all starts with Google Play, home to 675,000 apps and games. That’s a lot of choice. We’ve now crossed 25 billion downloads from Google Play, and to celebrate we’re offering some great discounts for the next five days.
Every day you’ll be able to choose from a collection of apps from some of the world’s top developers including Gameloft, Electronic Arts, Rovio, runtastic, Full Fat and more. And all for just 25 cents. We’ll also be offering some special collections like 25 movies you must own, 25 banned books, 25 albums that changed the world and our 25 top selling magazines, all at special prices. Visit Google Play a little later today to check them out.
Twenty-five billion is more than twice the distance, in miles, that the Voyager 1 spacecraft has travelled since its launch 35 years ago. It’s the amount of time, in minutes, that have passed since some of our earliest ancestors began to set foot in Europe. And now, thanks to all of you, it’s a Google Play milestone. We look forward to the next 25 billion.

This has been fixed on the S3 and Jelly Bean phones for a while...Unfortunately, the tech sites failed to verify this before publishing their story. If your phone, however, is still affected (older phones) you can install this app to be safe or be smart and just don't click random links:

The YouTube update that just came out today is pretty nice. Liking the new UI with the comments and stuff. Makes the app more cohesive. Liking the direction that Google's UIs are starting to take.

^ Especially after they fixed that project butter lag.
Resetting the flash counter and going back to stock is a bitch on the new Samsung phones. Maybe it was a little more difficult cause I was doing it remotely and it was his only phone so we had to use chat and I had to visualize the steps he was doing and seeing. Took us a while but I figured it out cause any time you use ODIN (and you use ODIN a lot for Samsung phones!), it triggers the flash counter. First time I've done a phone with such counter and I usually don't go back all the way to stock any way.
So for future reference for people going back to stock on an AT&T Galaxy Note and want to keep the flash counter at 0 for warranty purposes:
1) Flash stock ROM using ODIN
2) Flash CWM Recovery via ODIN
3) Flash Reset counter via CWM
4) Flash stock recovery via CWM.
Finding all of those files and putting them into one took a little more time than I would've liked as there was no thread that did it that way. Also, the drivers weren't cooperating with his laptop for whatever reason which is why it took us so long to do it. Otherwise, doing all of the above should've taken no more than 10 minutes. I believe with the S III you can use Triangle away but you still need to flash the stock recovery via CWM or through a bunch of terminal commands and NOT ODIN.

So last night I bought asphalt 7 from the play store on my comp and it didn't come on my phone. And if I'm on my phone and look at it, it doesn't say I bought it ...I got a confirmation email and everyyhing. This is my only android device so I guess I'm gonna have to dispute this...

Still, I should only use ~2% per hour. Right now its double that. Im not even overclocked. Ill give it some time to settle. Ive noticed in the past that some roms burn through the battery on the first charge.

JB doesnt have as great battery life for me, reasoning behind it is probably because of everything going on though
for me i think its because of that, and my battery just getting old. My phone has slowed down in general. Lags like crazy at times.
