Needs more Lemon Pledge
Speaking of overheating, I have an old DroidX I want to use as an IP camera, but the damn thing keeps shutting down after a few hours. I am assuming it's due to the camera running 24x7 and overheating the processor. Is there any good solution/app/voodoo trick to keep this from happening?
Any apps to track the internal temp so I can confirm my hypothesis?

If my dad wants his NoteII to go unrooted do I just Odin the unrooted stock firmware?

Going on day 3 with the GS4. I had an iphone 4S before and didn't love it or hate it (it was my first Apple phone).
So far the GS4 is pretty sweet. It doesn't hesitate or stutter whatsoever. The only thing that sucks if it matters to you is that the 16gb AT&T version is loaded with almost 7gb of unremovable AT&T crap. So you are really only seeing about 9gb of space for your own stuff. You can add a micro SD, but you cant put apps on it. So keep that in mind if you need more memory.

Everyday I'm rofling
Found someone I know with an HTC One today over lunch. Got to hold it and mess around with it, and it feels/looks pretty solid. Now I am 50/50 between that and the S4 again...

From the guy:
"Most of the work is being done by a new Tasker plugin called AutoVoice. I’ve tied the AutoVoice Recognize task to the Google Now swipe up.
There are a few dozen Tasker profiles setup listening for certain words and phrases, which call upon predefined tasks. These tasks vary from individual light toggles, to predefined “scenes”, triggers for the Phone itself and AutoRemote messages received by the GoogleTV, also running Tasker.
Yatse is responsible for controlling the PC running XBMC, fed through the Google TV. I can call upon movies, music or TV shows, play/pause and request volume adjustments.
The Home Automation side is controlled by a Micasaverde VeraLite home controller, pushing Z-Wave switches and modules. Android communicates with the Vera through AutHomationHD, a third party app in the Play Store via Tasker.
If you can handle Tasker, the rest is cake."

Thanks for the 32 update. I'm going to try to kill two birds with one stone. The $100 trade-in and a few months before my contract renewal. I'll pull the SD card from the S2 skyrocket and should be set... for at least six months.

^^^ I would think sooo but I wouldnt want to control my home that way....
the easiest way to hack into your home and control your home if you have everything setup as over the air....
I dont mind automating my home but a smart device which is connected to the home wifi and encrypted....if you are not on the home wifi, you cannot access the system is how I would set my home up....

I don't usually keep music on my phones since I use services similar to Spotify (MOG) and Google music. MOG doesn't let you keep offline music on the SD card. Does Google music? I guess I can move my pics to the SD card right?

Google Music will let you pin songs to your internal only by default. If you have root, you can move them manually to any where you want using any file explorer.
#8337

I always prefer to put the photos on the SD card because that way it is easier when you want to take it out to go print them, or move them to another phone, or computer, etc... especially with Google Music letting you store all your music on their servers and can easily be interchangeable.

Hmm $250. I printed the $100 trade-in deal. But I have to mail the thing in and be without a phone for a few weeks. Do you think ATT will do a $100 in-store trade in and give me a S4 for $150 even though August is when my 2 year contract expires?
I doubt it but it couldn't hurt to ask especially with four lines with them.

And to your second question, signs point to yes. Just type "*639#" into your phone and it will tell you if you are eligible for an upgrade now.

1) the $100 trade-in offer that they have going. and 2) my damn phone is so lame or the user of the phone, that I can not dial 639#. It automatically catches part of my wife's phone number and places a call to it. WTF?????
#8345
Goodbye.
2) LOL you forgot to type the asterisk before that. It will spell out *NEW#
You will then get a text message with the required info.

I remember when the Galaxy Nexus was a "disappointment". And the Nexus S was also one. Disappointing relative to what? The SD card is never coming back, LTE wasn't rolled out widely enough to incorporate to a global phone, the phone is about the same size as the GN, has a faster processor, and more ram. What would have made it not a disappointment?

But they also blame the consumers as part of the problem as well. Let me see if i can find it.

you guys think the US carriers suck? How about the 3 years contract with the Canadian carriers? My gf got her iPhone 4S when it came out and is STILL under contract
(note: the 3 years contract only applies to the top tier phones, cheaper phones are 2 years)
edit: oops, I didn't see this post until later

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy all the Nexus phones/tablets. I have the phone + tablet and couldn't be happier. I am patiently waiting for the next release.

ATT is only pitching the 32 S4 in black. Are there plans for the 32 in different colors. If so when. I want the purple the S3 comes out at Sprint.

Update:
Still loving the HTC One. It takes great pictures and video, has great speakers which I find useful for Pandora.
I've got the Nest app for the thermostat and the Irrigation Caddy app for my sprinkler system. Quite useful

the only time I use speakers on my phone is watching youtube. Pandora is always through headset or car.
Glad your liking the phone though
