    Anyone remove the AT&T barcode sticker from the back of the phone?

    I believe these are only on the carrier-branded versions, is that correct? Are they really necessary? It diminishes the clean look of the phone (I hate phone cases), and I'm sure it'll start to peel over time. Who repairs the phone within the 1 year warranty period - HTC or AT&T? It doesn't...

    Anyone have suggestions for apps that duplicate lost TouchWiz GS4 functionality?

    I'm considering the Google Play version of this phone because I loathe the bloatware on all non-stock Android devices right now, but some of the GS4 software features seem pretty useful. I thought it might be nice to create a list of apps that GE Galaxy S4 buyers could use to restore that lost...

    Questions from a prospective buyer on HTC One physical characteristics and usability

    I'm currently an IP5 owner, but traditionally a Android user (my last three phones were the HTC One X, International Gnex, and Galaxy S). I find both camps to be lacking somewhat, but what I like best about iphone are the ergonomics of the phone. Specifically, I like the great tactile response...

    Objective comparison of One X, GSIII, and GNex?

    Looking for such a comparison. Sorry if this is posted here somewhere. I searched but didn't see much, surprisingly. Primarily interested in objective facts about the phones. I've currently got a international GNex, and the areas I'm looking for improvement in are: Battery life, screen...

    Does Google music update changed ID3 tags?

    I'm currently transitioning my 42GB music collection from a file-in-folder format that I used to use to find music to the current industry standard of all music gets put in one big "pot" with ID3 tags to find stuff, so a LOT of my music still doesn't have accurage ID3 tags. I'm going through...

    Apple patent claim has possible fallout for all Android devices

    Top Android phone maker faces possible U.S. import ban next week - Apple 2.0 - Fortune Tech Unbelievable. I just can't understand how they were able to patent the second one, which, from what I can tell, is simply the existence of an API?

    My review of the GSM Galaxy Nexus compared to iPhone 4S (long)

    I’m making an effort here to be as impartial as possible, and I'm posting this on both android and iphone forums. Hopefully some will find it of some benefit. Your thoughts are welcome iPhone 4S Pros: -"look and feel" is really top notch. I've never been a fan of cases, but this is a phone...

    Anyone else thinking about skipping the GNex for Nitro HD?

    I've been looking forward to the GNex for quite awhile, but frankly, I'm starting to cool on it. After hearing about mediocre specs, average camera, flawed display (reported slight but noticeable banding and discoloration with pentile), no flash out of the gate, no gorilla glass (or proof of...

    Issues buying foreign GNex HSPA+ or G Note Unlocked?

    I'm currently considering buying one of these two phones from a european source (or US source that has already imported). Are there any issues with a. operating the phones on ATT in the states at full HSPA+ speeds, b. getting OEM repairs under warranty for defects and the like, or c...

    Stupid to drop SERO plans and switch to VZ?

    Considering the switch for a few reasons: 1. Wanted to pick up the GNex but obviously sprint isn't getting it for some time. I wouldn't normally "phone chase" to another carrier, but... 2. I've just not been that happy with the service. I have no 4g where I spend 99% of my time (I'm only...

    Is anyone concerned about performance with 720p?

    Just a thought - it seems like the galaxy s 2 is in a good spot for performance on the "desktop", but what about that huge resolution bump. Certainly that will demand a much faster cpu for the same smoothness and speed. Also, games might be in the correct ratio, but wouldn't be native res. Do...
