    Advantage to a "pure" GPE edition phone vs a converted to GPE phone?

    Good to know that, though it was after the fact. I ended up buying an at&t m8 already converted to Google Play edition. I am on Cricket now, having moved from Verizon, and am happy with the phone and the network. I will keep that in mind if in the future I consider a move over to T Mobile...

    SuperSU update

    I bought a rooted htc one m8 Google Edition last week with the hope that I would get a the phone I wanted without having to go through the root and flashing process myself. I did it once a few years ago with my droid, but didn't feel I have the time to devote to learning the ins and outs of...

    Advantage to a "pure" GPE edition phone vs a converted to GPE phone?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, it was stressful the time I did my phone. Did one step wrong and thought I bricked the phone... :-) When you converted to GP, do you still have Sense TV app?

    Advantage to a "pure" GPE edition phone vs a converted to GPE phone?

    Hope this question makes sense. I have a verizon HTC One M7 phone, and considering purchase of an M8 to use on GSM carrier (most likely Cricket). When I look at used phone prices, the unlocked / carrier model M8's are less expensive then the google edition versions. Assuming I can convert an...

    FREE Moto X Promo Code

    After completely reformatting my Razr Maxx (cleaning both cards, internal storage, and factory reset) it's running well so I'm hoping to milk another six months out of it until my Verizon contract expires, then see what the landscape looks like. This one expires 11:59 PM 12/11...

    Any upgraders from Droid Razr Maxx?

    Thanks all for the replies. drvier8- curious how long you had your phone. I have heard that for some reason the battery life of some phones settles down after a couple weeks of usage.

    Any upgraders from Droid Razr Maxx?

    Trying to figure out if I want to buy an off-contract Moto X with the current sale. Any experiences here from Moto X owners who previously used Droid Razr Maxx? How is battery life in comparison? How about lag, especially with google voice commands? Biggest beef with the current phone is...

    Droid RAZR Maxx - Is my GPS shot?

    GPS has not been connecting well. Downloaded the GPS Status program which fixed it once, but it has been out again for two days now. I have done a factory reset on both the stock ROM, as well as Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, re-enabled location access, and still nothing. Anything else to try? Hope it...

    Google Now

    I like it, but it acts inconsistently for me: examples: * Never shows my "time to work" in the morning. In fact, I only ever see this if I hit the "more cards" after the initial display. My work location has always been defined in the settings... * Time to appointment typically requires exact...
