I got all excited because I actually don't particularly like Hangouts for handling my SMS, but its the only solution currently for people like me who use GV as their main number exclusively (I ported my old number to Google so I could play the prepaid game and wouldn't be tied to any carrier)...

Re: What is the best "small-ish" phone? Dude. My current phone is an LG F3 with a 4" display. I hate the low end CPU and storage (4GB leaves me with barely 1GB after OS for apps), but this thing is the perfect size for me. Goes in my pocket with other things and never leaves me. I had...

I know battery tech has gotten a little bit better over the last 15 years, but does anyone remember the original iPaq Pocket PCs? I owned one of the original Compaq ones (before HP bought them) back in 2002, and it was the first sealed battery device I had even seen. I used to use it a lot...

Re: What is the best "small-ish" phone? I actually have an old Nexus 4 someone gave me for my kids because the screen is cracked. Its on the big side for me, to be honest. We use it like a mini tablet. I guess I could live with it as a phone, but they don't make one that is...

I wish the Z5 compact were available on Sprint!

I keep reading S4 Mini Reviews, and they almost all compare it to the Moto X, saying for a bit more money its a much more powerful device for not-too-much-larger. So I keep going back and forth with this. Is the non-replaceable battery going to be a problem for me? My current phone (LG F3) has...

I'd rather something smaller than the G2. I remember when the G2 came out, I held one in the store and my wife and I poked fun at how ridiculous it felt and looked to hold it up to our heads (we both felt like we should yell, like the other party was far away- LOL). I guess times have changed...

Hate to revive this thread 6 months later, but I find myself in this position as well. I even replaced my EVO LTE with an LG F3 because I wanted to go back to a smaller form factor. Turns out the F3 is adorable but horrible performance. Its really bugging me lately. The thing is limited to 4GB...

Omg you're kidding me. What about loading an alternate ROM via bootloader that supports otg out of the box?? Is that possible? Or some other way to sideload a remote app? I saw one that just needs USB debugging active - isn't there a way to do that via build prop or something? I can't believe...

I was given 2 Nexus 4's that both have touch screen issues (cracked display makes half the screen unusable on one, and the other completely dead). I am not looking to repair them, but rather use them as Android computing devices with a remote input of some kind- either some sort of remote...

Hey guys, I just discovered earlier today some lines across the display of my phone- looks like streaks of dead pixels all of the sudden. I have no idea how or why this happened, it was fine earlier today. I'm guessing its physical damage as it persists across reboots and launch screens. My...

Interesting suggestions. As far as the power button- The lock screen prevents accidental power-ups, power buttons are important to be accessible for casually checking an alert or slipping back into a pocket. I guess its just something to get used to if it doesn't bother anyone else. As far as...

I just got handed my friend's old EVO LTE when my phone (Galaxy Victory) got run over and crushed by a car. I'm not usually into the trend of big screen phones, which is why I went from flagship devices like the original EVO to lower tier ones like the Victory, but I must admit that it was nice...

My Sprint-branded device has the incoming call volume stuck at maximum levels. Pressing the volume keys moves the slider during a call as it should, however the actual volume of the sound coming out of the headset doesn't always change. It seems to work when I make outgoing calls, but incoming...

Re: ROMS There's another forum, not sure if I'm allowed to post links to it here. Has more dev action going on.
