Shit, I didn't even know you could apply for an exemption. I might have to try that.

Assuming you've already tried toggling location services and rebooting the phone, you might want to trythis. You can use it to clear your GPS state and download new assistance data in Tools>Manage A-GPS state.

So my sister just made the switch from iOS to Android and picked up a HTC One this week and I'm looking for some general advice from people who have switched, or at least are familiar with how iOS does things in comparison with Android. She's on the other side of the country so walking her...

From everything I've read about it, iMessage seems designed to make things as annoying as possible for those who don't use it or stop using it.

Since you're already rooted, grab the Xposed framework from[FRAMEWORK ONLY!] Xposed - ROM modding without modifying APKs (2.4.1)(02.12.2013) - xda-developersand download the AppOpsXposed module. That will give you Google's App Ops back that was removed from 4.4.2.

Any particular size you're interested in? The Nexus 10 has been out of stock for a while, but if a 7" tablet is big enough it's hard to go wrong with the Nexus 7.

I picked up my surface pro 2 last week and it's great. I got the 128GB version at the local Best Buy since I could return it if I didn't get one with the upgraded CPU, but their stock was recent enough that I got the i5 4300. It's a bit annoying not having a keyboard for it, but I'm waiting for...

I'm planning on buying a Surface Pro 2 next month and I can't find anything that suggests that the 256 and 512 models get a better cpu in addition to the increased ram. Everything I've read said that the upgrade to the i5 4300 was for all versions of the Surface Pro 2.

You mean the function that Android has had since 4.0? Press the recents button and you get this: As far as keyboards go, I used to be one of those who though I could never use an on screen keyboard, but they are a lot better than the used to be. I don't see how I could go back to a...

ST's own coverage map is pretty much useless, it's just a service/no service map. It has no indication of what kind of service you'll get. I could use one of the hybrid radios for my N4 to get LTE, but it only works on one band and it's used by TMO. I'd love to switch to TMO, if for no...

Bah, I have a N4 so no LTE for me anyway. I won't be upgrading until the next Nexus is released at the earliest. I checked the AT&T coverage map and it definitely has a lot of inaccuracies. There are lots of areas I drive through where you get no service or edge but AT&T has listed as 3G.

I don't use exchange at all, so I can't test that. I do get push notifications from Gmail and Hangouts promptly when I'm away from wifi. As far as APNs go, I'll list the 2 main ones that work for AT&T ST: APN: att.mvno Proxy: not set Port: 80 MMSC:http://mmsc.cingular.com MMS proxy...

bah, double post

I've been on ST (AT&T) since February and I've never had an issue with push notifications being delayed. Granted, when I'm away from wifi I'm often streaming music or have Ingress running, so it's possible that has been enough to keep my connection open. As far as data speeds, I've found it...

I thought it was finally open to anyone now. If not I have a dozen invites. PM me with your gmail and I'll send you one.

I'd love to give T-Mobile my money, but their network is shit in upstate NY. Outside of Glens Falls, I've got to go down to Saratoga for 3G coverage, Albany for 4G. Sprint's coverage here is lousy, but still far superior to T-Mobile. As far as the contracts go, as far as I can tell T-Mobile...

I've been quite happy with Straight Talk on AT&T and my parents just switched to Net10 (same company, they offer a deal for multiple lines though) and they haven't had any issues. I would have given TMO a shot, but in northern NY, TMO is mostly 2G in a lot of areas, including where I live...

You know you can long press on a prediction and choose to have swiftkey remove that word from its dictionary right? If anyone wants to try out swiftkey, you can get the current beta here:http://bit.ly/skemojibeta

Well, if you don't even use the Google keyboard, you could uninstall it. If it's installed as a system app and you're not rooted, you can just disable it. That should stop it from requesting updates.

Fuck that. Time Warner is the only option where I live if I don't want DSL or sattelite. I'd sign up with just about any company that came here offering service equivalent to cable at a reasonable price.

Yeah, a lot of Android features updated through the Play store with Google specific apps that replace AOSP apps like the Google Keyboard and now Hangouts replacing Messaging for SMS. It really got started when Google rolled out the Play Services Framework as an app that gets updated through the...

Seconded. If you read a lot, an e-ink device is is the way to go. I've got a first gen Paperwhite and I've been very happy with it. The screen on the N7 is nice, so it might work for you, but I'd always recommend an e-reader to anyone who reads a lot.

Got in, finished the prison and the game refuses to load the next zone. I close the client and reload to fall to my death, try to leave again and still stuck on the loading screen for the next zone.

Looks like they might be opening it up soon:Koushik Dutta - Google+ - Upcoming release of the Google Cast SDK. Moment of truth,.

I use Google+, mainly to get news from various android devs and a few other random things. I'm fairly antisocial so I don't bother other social networks.

I use Pokki, which I am starting to like more than the Windows 7 start menu.

Yeah, I used to use a screen protector for my old Evo and I had one on the back glass of my Nexus 4, but they just seem to collect dirt at the edges and eventually start peeling. I've never had a scratch on the glass of any of the 3 smartphones I've owned (Evo, Gnex, N4) and I'm not overly...

You may have to configure your APN for your carrier if it isn't pre loaded, but otherwise it should work just fine.

I picked up 8 for my laptop during the discount upgrade period figuring that I ought to be familiar with it as I'm the tech support guy for my family and their friends. Other than the stupid metro crap and needing to grab a start menu replacement I haven't had much of a problem with it. My...

I've been uninsured for the last 16 years and had to have an appendectomy last year and I was surprised at the huge difference in price for such a simple procedure when I looked it up. I was in the hospital for just over 12 hours and just the hospital bill was nearly 16k. The surgeon...

I figured I ought to finally buy Bloodlines considering how often I played through that game. I'm surprised they still charge $20 for it. Now I just have to track down all the unofficial patches that fix it.

I wish I could jump on the the $30 TMO plan, but unfortunately their coverage is ass in upstate NY. I'd be on 2G most of the time. Paying straight talk $45 a month still beats the hell out of what I was paying sprint before i bought my N4. As far as the N5 goes, I'll wait until next year and...

Yes. The leaked service manual indicated the radio would work with every US carrier except Verizon. I think it would partially work with Verizon, but wouldn't support their LTE and maybe some 3g frequencies.

Correct. With phone audio unchecked, everything that's not designated as media will go through your phone's speakers. I have a bluetooth earpiece that is set to receive phone audio but not media, so all my calls come in through that.

Bah, I was reading the combat feats list on the SRD and accidentally included Greater Shield Specialization in the prerequisites since it was indented under Shield Slam. Much easier to do without those.

Yep, most of the time you end up with a -2 penalty to each hand when dual wielding if you have two weapon fighting and are wielding a light weapon in your offhand. Just be aware that due to having shield slam as a prerequisite means you need all of the following: Shield Focus, Greater Shield...

Just a bit of hyperbole in that headline. 8.1 is just service pack 1 for Windows 8 and service packs have always been free. You still have to buy Windows 8 to get 8.1, nothing newsworthy there. If this leads to Windows being cheaper or free that would be fantastic, but I doubt that will...

So I want to finally get my music properly organized with all the metadata album covers and such, so I'd love some suggestions. Especially if I have some control over the process and can veto changes I don't like instead of hitting a button and hoping it does a good job. It's not a huge...

If your phone is connected to your car by bluetooth, go to bluetooth in your settings and hit the options for the connection to your car. You should have 2 checkboxes in there, one labled phone audia, the other being media audio. Uncheck phone audio and you're set, although your music will...

As I remember, Google explained that key lime pie is too obscure a dessert and that Kit Kats were one of the favored snacks among the android team. There have been multiple leaks about the software still calling itself KLP, many figure Google did that to hide the Kit Kat deal.
