It varies. The home fix that everyone does is a reflow and that costs $40 but can last from 2 weeks to 2 years. A reball is more thorough and more costly. I know a place that does it with a one year warranty but that's $80 plus shipping which could be $50 total. I've already considered trading it in but all the PS3's cost $300 and I have to buy a 2nd one in a few months anyways.

Yeah I saw the meet info. Haven't decided if I'll go yet; depends on whether I have a job by then.
Jumping across a traffic filled highway from one end to the other was no fun. Felt like I was a cabbie in NYC.

The DNA's battery life is not terrible. It is just the same as most phones out there now that do not have the suffix: MAXX. It gets most people through a work day unless you have your screen on the whole day.
I'm liking the gestures capabilities of the new Blackberry 10 OS, but I sadly don't see great execution throughout the whole OS.

After using Google Now I never go onto the Nba.com site to check schedules. Shit is so cluttered that there were times when I overlooked the schedule and thought the Lakers weren't playing only to find out later that they just lost on the same day, bwaha.

So I've got a question that I haven't found a clear answer for.
I currently have a Galaxy S3 as a personal phone. Work wants me to have a work phone. I could continue to my personal number and have them pay the bill, but I want to keep my personal number separate from my work number. Is there a way where I can have them link both numbers to the same phone? What would also be nice is to be able to set the work number so that it would go straight to voicemail at night or when I am on vacation.
I currently have ATT and work is also under ATT. Another option is to get a second phone from them and carry both around. I'd rather avoid that.
Any suggestions or options?

^On top of that reason, I use it as my Voicemail because using a Nexus phone on AT&T doesn't allow visual voicemail on the wrong data plan. So I use the Google Voice voicemail. Its great now because Jellybean integrates the voicemails into the dialer so you don't even need to open the app any more to listen to them. Just check the call log and its there. The same goes for text messages. It goes straight to the messaging app and will respond using my Google Voice number if that person messaged me on Google Voice. It works great except no one really leaves voicemails any more. ![Frown](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
EDIT: I should add that Visual Voicemail on AT&T requires a correct data plan such as the LTE plan or something like that. I'm still using the MediaNet plan and that's for dumb phones so that's why I can't use the Visual Voicemail AT&T provides. Either way, from what I've read, the AT&T Visual Voicemail sucks so I don't bother trying to set it up.

I use the GV for my VM's....but yeah the only reason why I have GV is coz I got my name spelled on it...LOL
#7425
Goodbye.
I remember when I got my GV number. I got a ton of harassing calls from the previous owner of that number one day later because I(Google) had apparently stolen his number. He was pissed. I gave him my 'Liam Neeson Taken treatment' and then had a good laugh and just blocked him forever. Good times.
Anyone know how to have a Do Not Disturb thingymajig on the Nexus 4? I think I can do it via Tasker, but just haven't had the time to figure out.

As for the Do Not Disturb, Tasker can do it. Or you can download any of the free apps in the market. I've only had experience with this one:
Silent Time
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...lsZW50VGltZSJd
Although this looks better:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...GVlcC5mcmVlIl0.
If you use CyanogenMod or any of its variants its built in. Has been since Eclair as I remember it. Go into Settings --> Sound --> Quiet Hours. You can choose Notifications/Notification Light/Haptic Feedback and everything there.
^I forget, the downside to CyanogenMod's Quiet Hours is that phone calls go through. Not a big deal for me but for some people they don't want any calls coming through. You would have to use an app or Tasker for that. With Tasker you can make it ring with only certain phone numbers:

What would constitute a GV number being used? I just leave the GV app running ever since I got it and other than the voicemails, I rarely use it. Unless it is for some texting to people I don't want to give my actual number to.

I know it's ridiculously overpriced, but I'll most likely end up buying one or two of those Nexus Wireless Charging Orbs in a few weeks at $60 a piece.
The only other option would be the TYLT VU at $70, but that doesn't even come out till April.
Crazy how chargers are so high priced.

Yeah I don't get why those chargers are so expensive. I mean it looks cool and all but the parts inside probably don't cost more than $5. Oh well, I hope by the time I pick up a phone capable of wireless charging prices will drop. Have you tried the Nokia Fatboy chargers?
There's a Korean company that has a wireless charging car dock thing. Couple of guys at XDA are in constant contact with them and we are just finishing with the final version for the N4. Everything looks good right now, but the aesthetics is up to each person to decide.

I've heard of it. Is it faster than the AOSP browser? I've used Naked, Tint, Dolphin, Firefox, Opera and I forget the other. I always end up going back to the AOSP browser though because of the gesture controls. Chrome Beta is also improved now compared to the regular version and I'm guessing its only a matter of time before its as fast as the others.
