    Mine showed up on Tuesday and the only complaint so far is the unskippable intro video. No wifi, remote or account issues.

    I had initially tried terminus with a grind oriented team with healing and Narza and that failed horribly so decided I'd give offense a try. I thought it probably wouldn't work either as I lack Maxwell, and my fisrt try did better, but Loch would usually kill 2-3 of my team. Finished crafting...

    I'm pretty sure the chips for that already exist, but who the fuck wants to cram full windows on to a phone? That would be a nightmare on UI alone, not to mention the abysmal battery life such a device would have.

    Just long enough for the phone to figure out that it is no longer connected to a tower. Once your signal icon indicates you no longer have mobile data you can turn it back on. Waiting longer won't do anything else unless it's a bigger problem like the radio in your phone bugging out to the...

    Airplane mode or toggling mobile data off and on will force the phone to search for towers again and is all that is needed 90% of the time to reestablish a connection. That would be the the PRL (Preferred Roaming List). It's used for CDMA phones to tell them what bands and towers to look for and...

    That is a pretty old phone, I hope you plan on replacing it soon. Just fixed a EVO 4G for a friend and going back to gingerbread was painful. At least the phone only has to last 2 more months before it's getting replaced.

    You might want to see if there is a 4.3 based rom for your phone, as that is when android added TRIM support, which should help with keeping the NAND from acting up.

    You also might want to try wiping the cache partition, which can be done from recovery even if the device is completely stock.

    Bah, I got mixed up and the chromecast can be powered by usb on the TV, not from HDMI.

    Power over HDMI was one of the things I was disappointed to see that the fire stick doesn't do but the chromecast does. Not a dealbreaker by any means but it would have been nice.

    I have mine set at 1.2. Beyond that I usually start missing things. Also, if you don't find what your're looking for in Pocket Casts, it does allow you to import from OPML and it will even find files on your device downloaded by another app if you want it to. Interface is very nice as well.

    Pocket Casts is well worth the couple bucks they charge. Auto download, sync between devices etc.

    Mine got bumped from 12/29 to 12/24, woohoo. I figure at the very least If I don't keep it I'll swap out my parents' chromecast for it since this gets them prime on the TV without any fuss. Having an interface on the device with a remote instead of doing everything on the phone might be easier...

    Well, so much for the fix I posted. I crashed at one point and now I'm back to crash on startup again. At least I was able to reset the timer on my login rewards to give me another 24 hours before I lose them. Edit: Fixed it by restoring from a backup, so maybe the crash corrupted...

    For those of you still having issues on Lollipop, I found a fix that worked for me. Go in to developer options and uncheck use NuPlayer, causing it to fall back to awesome player. If you don't see developer options in your settings, go to about phone and tap on the Android build number 7 times...

    How long is the summon rate increase for Elza, Lilly and such supposed to last? The Android 5.0 bug has kept me from logging on since yesterday so unless they fix it soon I'm going to miss out on it. Not to mention my login bonuses being reset.

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling before and it always rerolled me with a fresh account. I don't do facebook so I've been using titanium backup to keep a spare copy.

    I have a 1st gen paperwhite and it's awesome. 6" seems small at first, but unless you mostly read hardcovers, that's roughly the size of your average paperback page anyway. If you like to read a lot it's an outstanding device. I'd say just buy one and return it if you really can't stand the...

    The problem being the > 6" request. There are few e-readers larger than that, so you're pretty much stuck with a tablet for that. Otherwise the paperwhite is excellent.

    That sounds like the MMS settings in your APN are incorrect. Might want to verify with your carrier what they are supposed to be.

    The notification light on the Nexus 9 only works when ambient display is disabled, but it seems that that they decided not to go with that on the Nexus 6. I wish they did include one, but with ambient display I think I could live without it.

    Nope, you don't need gvoice at all. I've made calls with hangouts and it just shows up as private on calller ID. I've never used gvoice and definitely don't have a number with it.

    Grab the Hangouts dialer from the play store if it isn't already installed. You use it instead of the regular dialer when you want to make calls over wifi.

    I flashed the N4 factory image when it was released a few days ago and I'm already itching to flash a 5.0 based rom. 5.0 is great but there are some things Google really needed to pick up from custom roms. The one that annoys me the most is long pressing on something in quick setting should...

    That's the one thing other than price that keeps me considering the OPO instead of the Nexus 6. From what I've heard so far, the N6 has ok battery life, but not what you would expect from a phone of it's size.
