    Verizon update today ..... taking forever

    How long did your update take? I am installing an update from 1AGN to 1AMD (August 2019) and it is only about 1/4 of the way after about 30 mins?! I think there is even another update after this one that was released 01/06/2020 (v 1AMG). Trying hard to not to force a reboot! TIA. Update: Spoke...

    Anymore news on the robin?

    I am interested in this phone, too. In the last month I tried 3 different phones: Moto X Pure, OnePlus X, and just recently, the Nexus 5x. I found fault with each of them, eventually favoring my OnePlus One running SlimSaber every time. I am looking for a smaller screen size/form factor plus...

    Android 5.0 Lollipop

    It's out as of last night (28th). My device is getting the notifications, but I am rooted and running TWRP recovery so I can't install it. I'm hoping someone releases a stock rooted rom with the update soon. I don't feel like reverting to stock uprooted just for the update.

    Google Music Added to Music Freedom

    Yeah, it doesn't use data from All Access (the paid service), but does use data when streaming personally uploaded music stored in Google Play.

    Google Music Added to Music Freedom

    I tested this last night. I streamed about 4 mins of a DJ set I uploaded to GPM, and it used about 36MBs. I had just rebooted the phone and checked my data usage before and after using the USSD code #932#. I am looking for clarification on this as well, but it does seem that Google Play "free"...

    Uncarrier 6: Streaming music doesn't count against your high speed data tier

    I just played 4 mins of a Dj mix I uploaded to GPM and my data usage increased by about 32MBs (I checked with the data USSD code #932# before and after). This was also after a reboot. Anyone else seeing data usage when streaming from their library? Seems like it may just be unltd. for the All...

    Beware of buying from Gazelle! Phones sold by Gazelle can still be blacklisted!

    The phones were bought by credit card through PayPal. Unfortunately, there is only a 45-day window to dispute a charge with PayPal, which had long since passed. In any case, Gazelle responded to a post my wife made to their Facebook page a few days ago. That got me in touch with one of their...

    Beware of buying from Gazelle! Phones sold by Gazelle can still be blacklisted!

    tl;dr Phones sold by Gazelle are not guaranteed against clean IMEI/ESNs. I purchased two iphone 5's from Gazelle last December 2013, for a Christmas gift for my mother-in-law and one for my wife. A few days ago, my mother-in-law contacted me to tell me the phone was no longer receiving...

    What are the dangers of buying Verizon Galaxy Note 2 from eBay or Craigslist?

    I purchased two iphone 5's from Gazelle last December 2013, for a Christmas gift for my mother-in-law and one for my wife. A few days ago, my mother-in-law contacted me to tell me the phone was no longer receiving service. After trying everything I could find about fixing it, I finally...

    Uncarrier 6: Streaming music doesn't count against your high speed data tier

    I don't think 4MBs is really enough to determine if it counts or not. I've been using TuneIn Radio since I reported that it wasn't using my data, and this month I used 349MBs according to Android Data Usage, but my T-Mobile usage (#932#) shows exactly 349MBs less. At least in my case, TuneIn is...

    Uncarrier 6: Streaming music doesn't count against your high speed data tier

    According to Data Usage, I've used 284Mbs of TuneInRadio over the last few days, and none of that has been reflected in my T-Mobile MyAccount lookup. I am finding that initial buffering is quick sometimes, and slow (throttles-like) at others. Usually when I'm throttled, though, I am constantly...

    Uncarrier 6: Streaming music doesn't count against your high speed data tier

    Yes, perhaps I did. Can anyone else confirm other services that appear to be unofficially supported? Sweet!

    Uncarrier 6: Streaming music doesn't count against your high speed data tier

    I've done some basic testing with TuneInRadio. I've been streaming for a couple hours over cellular yesterday and this morning and my data usage is not showing any increase. Also, I am already over my data usage limit of 1GB, so I don't know if my results would be any different if I wasn't...

    Anyone Know a Good Case?

    I took a chance and got a couple of these mesh cases off ebay and they are great. Super slim and look slick, too. Took about 2 weeks to arrive. I previously had (still have) a Diztronic rev3 but it added a lot of bulk to the phone, which I didn't like. The case has a nice rubbery grip feel to...
