    I barely go over 2gb/mo, so I'm really not concerned. I accidentally upgraded several apps while I wasn't connected to wifi and was throttled that evening and CS said they couldn't un-do the throttling until the next month.

    Welp, Straight Talk throttled me and said that they couldn't remove the throttle for a month, so I said fuck it and moved to TMO and picked up an HTC One. This phone is pretty damn amazing. With the wifi calling, it'll actually disable the cell radio to increase battery life. I haven't done a...

    The classics in Leavenworth are still pretty good. Everything out in Icicle Creek gets some traffic, but there are some fantastic problems that seemingly don't see people. Most of what we see here is granite, so we'll get small flakes that become murderous crimps, pretty good slopers, and an...

    Had my first outdoor bouldering trip to Leavenworth this weekend. Holy damn was that a humbling experience. Primarily stayed in Icicle Creek Canyon and was chewed up and spit out even by a lot of the classics. Climbing on crimpy granite will definitely destroy your hands! I'm making another trip...

    If you come across a link to that Alpha build, can you post it? I'm watching the XDA thread, but it's such a clusterfuck that it's hard to see anything useful posted there.

    Checking back in since there was a request to see if people were still attempting to lose weight. I've ended up gaining a fair bit back after chemo (surprise) and upping my caloric intake again (another surprise). I've been hovering in the mid 170's currently and am ready to try to make a cut...

    For anyone who wants to keep on top of active development with Android devices, the S4 will likely be a good choice still (assuming you get the Qualcom variant) - There have been issues with every Exenyos powered device since the SGS2, and nothing has ever worked 100% on AOSP ports. If you're...

    I'm sure there's a pretty strict thermal cap before they shut down or anything like that. The same thing was happening with the Nexus 4 when it was first released. I haven't looked lately to see about benchmarking and all, as I'm more interested in battery life and having a smooth UX.

    To be fair, HTC's build quality of their most recent round of devices is second only to Apple, and with the One... it may just surpass it. I'll leave that until I see one in person. The developer version IS damn appealing, but I'd basically be spending $350 to upgrade to the new hotness and I...

    The One is a damn sexy looking device, but I'm not sold on the developer version for $650. I paid $350 for my Nexus 4 and it does the job just fine. It's a bit sad since I really LOVE the look of the One in comparison.

    My oncologist thought I was still another 2-3 months out from producing testosterone again (one of my treatments was hormone therapy) -- Apparently my levels are rising sooner than expected, which may be part of the unexpected weight gain. This next week or two will be starting a new workout...

    I'm definitely not burning those kinds of calories. I'd wager that it's closer to 1/2 that amount since I'm not climbing the hardest routes that I can. Bouldering is like rock climbing without the ropes and you only climb to ~20' at the most. I suppose if I were trad climbing with ropes and was...

    As of this evening, I'm 5'9" - 177lbs I'll try out the calorie shifting as you'd recommended. I'm down ~30lbs since the middle of last year, so I know I've been able to work off weight in the past, and I'm trying to focus on building lean muscle with my bouldering and yoga. I'm hesitant to...

    I'm not sure what the hell is happening to me recently, but I just cannot manage to lose any more weight, and have ballooned up another 10+lbs over the last 3 weeks. I'm on a steady and healthy diet running around 1700-1800 cal/day. Exercise consists of 4 days of bouldering for 2-3 hours, 3+...

    That's a very good article. I hadn't really thought about the finger part until recently. Most of the v3-v4 problems I've been climbing at my gym have been super crimpy recently and my ring finger on my left (dominant) hand has been sore to the point where I'm cutting back on climbing and only...

    How did you change the lockscreen DPI? I can't seem to find any settings in the PAOSP settings to modify that and I've already set the widget APK to forced 200 DPI. I'd absolutely love to modify the size of the widget when things are locked. Edit: It looks like if you set the Phablet UI you...

    Doing a rundown currently on my N4. 22+ hours and just over 30% battery used on a stock 4.2.2 kernel, PAOSP ROM, and apps only closing down GPS when Maps closes. I'm currently at about 1hr of screen-on time as well.

    Wha? I go 40+ hours with these settings. I was easily getting a full 24 hour period just on the stock settings leaving everything turned on, I just like seeing what I can get out of the device while giving me the same UX as if I were to leave everything on full time.

    It'll also take searches from your desktop (addresses/etc) and give you Google Now cards to those locations as well. I personally like the cards that give me traffic info to calendar events.

    Probably. They've already announced that they will be releasing images for the GNex, Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (I believe?) - It would make sense that they include all of the Nexus devices.

    That's the hardest part is actually finding the desire to eat again. Finding things that are calorie dense and aren't awful for me has been a struggle. You're totally right though, I should be eating everything that sounds good now that it doesn't hit escape velocity the moment it hits my...

    That's a good idea. I rarely drink whole milk, so if I can get by doing 2x shakes (one in the afternoon) and use 2% milk, that would likely get me where I should be calorie-wise and still fill me up. I'll definitely give the soup a go. I don't have a place to cook things at work, so it may be...

    Awesome! Knowing I can pick them up at Safeway is even better. I'll have to pick some up on the way home tonight.
