This is incorrect as far as PCs go. I watch stuff from Amazon in HD on my laptop while at work. The selection isn't as good as Netflix, but Prime is worth it for all the other stuff you get with it.

Well, this morning's update still hasn't fixed the Nexus 4 issues. Goddammitsomuch.

As wolfen posted, the T-Mobile plan might be better if you don't talk much, as Straight Talk only sells T-Mobile sims now. I got an AT&T sim before they stopped selling them, since T-Mobile is terrible where I live. I've had no complaints with them and the only thing you pay beyond the plan...

I went with a 16GB N4, as 8GB is just too little storage for me. Otherwise, it's a fantastic phone with lots of developer support for those interested in custom roms. As far as Sprint goes, I had been a Sprint customer for over 10 years before I left them in Feb. I had checked my contract...

I wouldn't describe it as flaky, it's just that it is a bit sensitive and I sometimes accidentally turn the page. As far as using it left handed, there is no way to change the area you tap on to turn the page, but you can swipe to left or right in any area to turn page,.

The paperwhite was the first e-reader I've owned and it's fantastic. E-ink is so much easier on the eyes than a LCD, especially when I've got the lights off reading in bed. The only complaint I have is that I'd prefer page turn buttons, but it's not a big deal.

They just stopped selling AT&T sims, but if you can find one you can still use it. I bought one before Walmart ran out of stock a few months ago. It looks like Net10 still sells AT&T sims, and as they're run by TracFone I imagine they shouldn't be much different than Straight Talk.

I would definitely suggest the 16GB N4 over the 8GB. Ever since I uploaded all my music to Google I haven't touched my old 60GB ipod. I keep what I listen to most often on the N4 then stream the rest. The N4 works nicely with Straight Talk, but they only use T-Mobile now. I managed to get an...

Yep, I know about nav bar 0%. It's hard to go more than a page or two in the PA thread on XDA without having someone ask about it. I've gotten some odd app behavior when using nav bar 0% that hasn't come up in full PIE mode. It's probably about time I did a full wipe after the last few months...

For anyone interested in trying PA with the alpha build of HALO, downloads can be found here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/10797958...ts/GBEb9E3ek6H In it's current state, I don't care for HALO, as the anchor for the notifications doesn't disappear and it only works on stock UI and I prefer...

You don't need an adapter for the PS3 controller, just a standard USB to miniUSB B cable and theMotioninJoywindows drivers. With that you can make your PC think the controller is a standard 360 controller.

Oh god I need to be playing this right now.

Bastion put Supergiant Games on my list of devs that I will automatically buy any game they make. Sadly they're the only one on the list nowadays. I just hope the soundtrack is as awesome as Bastion's.

I would go with SwiftKey over swype. They added a swype like feature to it and it's prediction is spooky good. I have no experience with Safari so I can't compare it to the various android browsers. I use Chrome, but the default browser is decent, plus Dolphin HD and Firefox were good last...

I assume Apple only allows you to use itunes to play music unless you jailbreak the phone? There are a bunch of different apps for media playback on android, so you're bound to find something you like. I mainly use the google play music player, since I uploaded my library to google when I...

I'm pretty sure the US variants aren't getting the Exynos, just like the S3. We're getting theQualcomm Snapdragon 600, the same processor as the HTC One.

I see it still has the silly physical home button. A coworker just got a S3 a few weeks ago and asked me to help him setting some stuff up and that button pisses me off to no end. Having the software buttons has spoiled me I'm sure, but at least make the goddamn thing a capacitive button. A...

Hah, I thought it was pretty bad with one person in my area owning everything, but he's resistance while I'm enlightened. At least that way I could hack portals for AP. Now some enlightened guy came through and took everything over, so I no longer get AP for hacking because the portals are all...

I just got in yesterday and this is pretty fun. Only spent an hour or so walking around town hacking portals where I could, but there are 10 within a 20 minute walk of where I live. I think I'll be taking regular walks before and after work now.

So my phone's notification light had been flashing for a while due to low battery, and when I am about to charge it I realize it's been over a day. I check my battery stats and am greeted by this: Granted, this was fairly light use, mostly texting, email and web browsing, but I'm pretty...

Hah, that question is asked every 5-10 posts in the XDA thread. Molesarecoming (the dev) doesn't like cluttering up the settings, so pie just enables itself when it's needed: when the nav bar isn't being shown. The only times that happens is as Dauntless said, when expanded desktop is enabled...

I'm using Nova Prime, got it on the 25 cent sale. The free version of Nova is still good, but Prime is worth the full price IMHO. I haven't tried it in a long time, but you might want to check out Apex. It was similar to Nova last I used it, the 25 cent sale being what cause me to stick with...

Might want to try clearing the app data from Google Play along with Google Play Services before you do a reset. Google just added a framework for logging in to apps using your Google account, so you might wasnt to try clearing the app data for that too. If you are rooted you could try flashing...

You have to enable expert mode, then lockscreen DPI becomes available in the interface menu. Very convenient, as it let's you see all of dashclock on the lockscreen without resorting to forcing it maximized. If you follow PA on G+, they sometimes post useful tips along with changelogs and news.

Dashclock is a great. Lots of extensions being made for it since it's open source. Being able to change it's DPI with Paranoid Android is is a godsend though, since it takes up too much space to display more than 1 or 2 extensions. I've got it running at 220 DPI on both the lockscreen and...

Am I correct in assuming you rooted the phone but did not flash a custom rom? If that's the case I would highly suggest trying a 4.2.2 based rom, as 4.2.2 fixed several nagging issues and improved battery life for most phones. I don't know what good roms are out there for the EVO LTE, but...

It's not android that's the problem, it's the various handset manufacturers with their skins bogging android down and shitty apps preinstalled by the carriers. First thing I would do is go buy BetterBatteryStats and see if your phone is going in to deep sleep, and what is keeping it awake if...

My original EVO was a great phone, but it's battery life was ass. I ended up buying a pair of higher capacity 3rd party batteries to swap in as I needed. I'm getting good battery life out of my Nexus 4, despite the complaints I've heard about it. It lasts me a full day of light to moderate...

I think the last few pages are enough evidence that this thread has given us everything it can. Time to put it in its shrine.

From the KeePass features page: Someone who knows far more than me about this stuff can tell you how secure that is, but it sounds pretty good. I'd probably change all my passwords if dropbox got broken in to and there was a chance my database was copied anyway. As far as the merging...

When I went from an EVO 4G to the Galaxy Nexus, I thought having the headphone jack on the bottom was really strange. Now that the Nexus 4 has it on the top again, I really miss it. Especially when listening to music while reading something on the phone. As far as the Xperia Z goes, I agree...

I'm in the process of replacing my Galaxy Nexus with a Nexus 4. The phone arrived yesterday, I'm just waiting for my Straight Talk sim to get here. I can easily justify it because this will reduce my monthly bill from $70 to $45, so the phone will pay for itself by the end of the year. Plus...

Well it turns out Walmart only sells sim cards online. They were listed as in stock, so I tried ordering a micro sim with 30 days of time and kept getting billing errors no matter what payment method I used. I tried ordering just the sim and it went right through and shipped last night...

I use KeePass with Dropbox. It can be a little awkward at times, especially if I update an entry without syncing dropbox on one machine, then make a change on another. It's a good enough system that I haven't bothered to look for alternatives though.

As my nexus 4 has been shipped and will be arriving soon, I went to order a sim from straight talk and here's no option for buying an AT&T sim anymore. I do some searching around and it seems they stopped selling them online about a week ago. There have been conflicting reports on whether they...

I've been keeping an eye on Paranoid Android ever since I heard about PIE, I just hadn't gotten around to flashing it on my gnex. That will probably be the first thing I flash on the Nexus 4. Stock android is great, but I like the various features devs add to their roms too much to use it as...

Just ordered my Nexus 4. Looking forward to finally ditching Sprint. I plan on using straight talk on AT&T's network since TMobile's network is absolute ass in upstate NY. Hell, Sprint has only been a small step up from that. For those of you who already have a Nexus 4, what roms would you...

Seeing what BBS has to say is definitely the easiest way to figure out what's killing the battery, well worth the purchase. The general consensus seems to be that 4.2 is a bit more power hungry than 4.1. Other than Currents and Facebook, I've heard Google Now can get a bit excessive in the...

Oh, what the hell. Why the fuck does interacting with the general populace have to be so gaddamn annoying. I have to do it as part of my job and people completely ignore whatever I say unless it's something they want/expect to hear. Goddammit people are annoying.

Back it up with titanium backup then do a full wipe. 4.2 changed the filesystem to accommodate multi user support so even if you are staying with the same rom, dirty flashing isn't recommended. I haven't used AOKP on my Galaxy Nexus in ages, but Euroskank is excellent if you want to give that a...
