Desktop as we know it is dead in a matter of time sure but that ain't a very near thing. I highly doubt many of us will be buying a Steambox and getting rid of our desktop computers any time soon.

And you're part of the minority.

The bloat on my S3 when I originally got it was pretty horrible. I pretty much instantly rooted and installed CleanROM. I've done the same thing with my M8. CleanROM = best rom.

Dumbest thing I've read in this thread in a long while. We're moving towards that but a long ways off from that being close to true.

Que the Slow Poke meme: I'd never used Google Now until the most recent updates because I'd heard horror stories of it shitting all over battery life. I have it turned now and it just warned me when to leave in current traffic order to make a meeting in a little bit. Sweet! I still haven't...

I believe that is accurate, but it will not work on Verizon. So. Nope for me.

Welp... I got lazy and didn't return the phone. I'll probably just hang on to it and sell it off once the next round of phones come out and figure out which one looks good. Definitely going to listen to my gut next time when I go to personally check the phones out instead of just relying on...

Except the M8 doesn't have QHD - I guess that's what I'll be waiting for now - the G3, Note 4, hell even the S5 Prime or M8 Advance or whatever the fuck it's called will have it. A stupid chunk of its screen is taken up by its buttons - really that is my biggest gripe. For 90% of the time I'm...

I'll be returning my M8 in the next day or two. It is a nice phone, just not the right fit for me. I'll hang on to my S3 for a bit until the LG G3, Note 4, or something else.

There's a root method for the Developer's Edition - not for the normal retail edition (at least the Verizon version.. unsure for the other carriers). It hasn't gone longer than a few other phones/tablets... yet.

I know perfectly well how to do all that. If I had a phone that was freezing and restarting on me after I first bought it I'd exchange it for another phone. I don't care how easy the fix is - if I spend $600 on a piece of tech that doesn't work right off the bat and in my case takes a 10 minute...

I second this.

That is strange. A thread on TomsHardware had people showing the same issue of temps all over the place/wrong. TryHWMonitor, and post a pic of your TMPIN0/TMPIN1/ETC temperatures. Those should be right. If not, could be something going wonky?...

Check Core Temp just to see what that says too. Core Temp

Foobar for music files on the computer. Plex for playing music from main computer to the HTPC. Spotify/Songza for music not on the main computer to play on the HTPC. VLC on the main computer for videos. VLC or XBMC on the HTPC depending on my mood for videos on the HTPC. I...

If you just got it I'd return it and get a new one. Like others have pointed out earlier in the thread you either have 14 or 30 days depending on the carrier/where you bought it from. I'd be on the safe side just go return it and pick up a new one. You shouldn't have any freezes or restarts with...

Which program are you using to monitor it? Have you tried others? Core Temp? Real Temp?

Been using my old S3 pretty much strictly as an alarm clock... airplane mode + wifi only = LOL. BTW If anyone wants an old S3 I have one for sale... with an extra battery. No water damage. Flawless physical condition.

What phone?

I mean, I get what Vaclav is saying. I'm going fishing this weekend and my brother's boat doesn't have speakers on it. I used my S3 a couple weeks back for a while but got annoyed because of how horseshit it sounded. I'll see how much better the M8 really is. But I more or less agree with...

After having the M8 for a few days now, thing is slippery as hell. I'm definitely getting a case for it soon but holy shit... I've never had a phone that I felt like could fly out of my hand at any given moment. Get a case if you're getting an M8. The battery is great. I'd post a few pictures...

If I could trust any network other than Verizon I'd jump ship in a heartbeat and get a Nexus 5 or wait for the One Plus One to become widely available. They seem like no brainers for phones that size.

It supposedly costs Samsung $256-260 to make the S5, if that helps at all.

Well, my impulse got the better of me and I ordered the M8. I figured if I don't like it I can always sell it off when the LG3 comes out (if I like it enough) or wait for the Note 4 or Android Silver or whatever. I'll give a report of how I like it once I've got it up and running. Just...

I really like the Nokia Lumia 1520, such an awesome phone. I just hate how horseshit the app availability is on Windows OS. Anyone in Minnesota here (I know Tarrant is MN) have AT&T? It really is the only carrier I'd consider switching to over Verizon. How's their service out in the boonies...

Thanks for the input Vac. Since Verizon + Samsung = Naziville, I'm probably going to end up with the M8. Or I'll just pull a John Kerry/Brett Favre and flip flop for the next few days. But to answer the point above, it was more about the fact that the buttons on the S5 are below the screen and...

I really had no qualms with my S3 until very very recently. I just saw both phones and to me the S5 is the clear winner for someone like me. I'll be getting the developer edition of the S5 so I don't have to fiddlefuck around with one extra thing while I'm finding the rom that I like best...

I'm leaning towards the S5 now after reading some more. What does the M8 have on it? The screens are similar but due to the software keys on the M8 you're likely to get much more actual screen room in real world settings. The S5 seems to have a slightly better battery. The S5 unquestionably has...

What is the best MVNO for Verizon's networks? I need 4G and their converage... without their faggotry.

And of course Verizon doesn't support the factory unlocked M8. God damnit, I want my cake and eat it too.

There's a 3rd party Verizon store right down the street from me with some good peeps there, I'll check them out. I'll be looking at the M8, S5, and Note 3. Any others? Not going to get the LG G2 when the G3 is coming up so soon. Not a fan of LG either.

I'd probably get the Nexus 5 or wait for the 6 if it'd work on Verizon. I am in remote areas pretty often and T-Mobile/AT&T/Sprint to my experience can't even come remotely (pardon the pun) close to Verizon's range/service coverage. Price isn't a big concern. This is my last little toy gift to...

I don't really mind the physical buttons. The M8 really intrigues me, seems like the best phone out there right now. I would likely buy it direct from HTC with an unlocked boot loader. I like me some custom roms (currently running Clean Rom on my S3 which I fucking love).

My S3 is starting to shit the bed and would greatly like to hear your guys' opinions of what phone I should get along with a few questions. Here's what I'm looking for: - I'm currently under contract with Verizon through November. I like their coverage/speed/service and would like to stay...

^ that was the first thing from the internet in a long time that brought me to tears from laughing

Not to get all technical but shouldn't that be a double bladed stick?...

Seeing as I was obliterated on Friday, I didn't even remember writing this until I just noticed my tuconets and this gem... I wasn't able to watch the game last night but I stand by my previous statement. Though, I hold very little hope that the Wild will advance. The next game would be fun as...

FUCK YEAH WILD. FUCK YOU CHICAGO FUCKS!!!!!!!!

I agree. I don't care how minimal the Malware is, I always recommend nuking shit.
