    HTC One (M8): Metal vs plastic - difference in quality, or personal preference?

    Re: Metal vs plastic - difference in quality, or personal preference? Now, without a case, a phone made of metal or even glass is indeed better looking than a plastic one. I'm not arguing that statement. The problem is, I see more iPhone's and One's users are using cases than Galaxy's ones...

    HTC One (M8): Metal vs plastic - difference in quality, or personal preference?

    Re: Metal vs plastic - difference in quality, or personal preference? Err, nope... S3 is successful since, at that time, it was one of the most innovative phones with lots of features (some of which didn't work properly... LoL). For me, plastic vs metal is a matter of preference and actually...

    [Closed] Win one of two 2013 Nexus 7 tablets from Android Central

    I want it badly!!! This will be a perfect addition for my Nexus 4. In my country, I don't think we will be able to get one by this year, so here I'm hoping to be the winner. Cheers...

    Perks of rooting Nexus 4/is it worth it?

    The main advantage, for me, is the ability to flash custom kernel for better battery life. I did also flash custom rom for fun but it's not really necessary if you don't want to. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    Really bad Nexus 4 battery life

    I have around 12 hours of battery usage with 3.5 hours of screen on time with stock rom and franco kernel, without wifi at all (pure 3G). I have 3 gmail accounts synced and gps off. I'd say that's an improvement as compared to stock kernel. The question is did you not doing some researches...

    "SD Cards are useless with cloud storage" NO THEY ARE NOT

    Not in many countries in which millions of phones with SD card were sold. You need to have unlimited plan and good Internet speed to effectively use cloud. Well some people tend to judge things based on their circumstances and fail to see the big picture. I chuckled every time people say SD...

    Who will be getting the S4 from Google and selling Nexus4

    Not for me. I've already spent $550 for this one and I'll keep it for at least another year. Well, unless Samsung reduced Note 2's price which may tempted me to sell my N4. Battery life has been a huge issue for me though franco kernel helped a bit. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Android Central...

    Smart-Cover type case for Nexus 4

    Thanks for the info. I checked that kind of app and all of them have similar problem, it drains battery since the proximity sensor is turned on all the time. Any other idea?

    Are you using a case on your nexus 4?

    I'm using NIllkin flip leather case. Yes, naked is the better way to showcase the beauty of this baby, but I prefer to keep it unscratched especially considering I spent nearly $500 for it...lol OOT, is there any case (preferably flip leather case) that behave like Apple's Smart Cover which...

    Smart-Cover type case for Nexus 4

    Hi all, I'm a new owner of Nexus 4 and long-time owner of BlackBerry (as my name may indicates, though I'm far from avid...lol). Anyway, as said in the thread's title, I'd like to know is there any case (preferably flip leather case) that behave like Apple's Smart Cover which automatically...
