    Galaxy S5: Am I the only one concerned about the negative effects of waterproofing?

    Personally I'm not put off by any of those things. Those possible trade offs are more than made up for by having a phone I wouldn't have to worry about as much.

    Sprint HTC One: KitKat 4.4.2 Update Thread.

    Anyone else noticing if their camera is having a very hard time focusing? I'm not sure if I'm having a hardware issue or a software issue. Posted via Android Central App

    What is your phone/tablet combo?

    My iPhone 4S is my daily driver with my HTC One acting as my favorite remote/Google Hangouts device. Between the IR blaster and the Chromecast integration the One is the best remote I've ever had. For obvious reasons it is also better at Hangouts than my iOS devices so when it is handy I reach...

    Trying to decide between Sprint Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and Asus Memopad Smart 10.1....

    I don't like the Tab 3 all that much. The screen on it is just pretty poor in person. You sound like you're more interested in raw power though so it may not matter. You've already factored in a data plan at $5 a month, minimum, plus your taxes and fees. That could be around $9 a month...all...

    "Will I get KitKat?" and Why I'm Not Worried about the Answer.

    Quite right! I'm assuming that a few factors led you to putting that on your phone rather than keeping Touchwiz or getting a Nexus. It is of course usually an option to put some work in and modify your device. My point was more along the lines of accepting different devices for what their OEMs...

    "Will I get KitKat?" and Why I'm Not Worried about the Answer.

    Android Central has me really in to making the distinction between AOSP Android, Google Android, and OEM Android. I always had a tendency towards this but I've been put over the edge lately. Rather than say it's "fragmented" I think about it more as just an expression of the open nature of the...

    Will the unlocked HTC One work on sprint?

    The point is that you can use it on networks that allow it. Sprint and Verizon will only activate phones that have registered serial numbers in their inventory systems. They are closed systems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Popup says "Your cell may have a virus"

    I would just reset the phone at this point. Never hurts. She downloaded a crappy app and it is spamming her. Like someone said earlier: those free apps can have strings attached. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Switching from Sprint to T-Mobile how-to

    You can just do it as you're ready. Once you have the phones you want just call up T-Mobile or go to a store with the Sprint account number and PIN (maybe social) and have them take the number. That number will cancel on Sprint's end when T-Mo takes it. Leave the other number on Sprint for now...

    Why would anyone buy the Galaxy Mega with the Note 3 on the horizon?

    I love the variety that Samsung offers. They really do make a phone for everyone. Now that you're using the Mega do you think anything could get you back to a smaller phone like the S4 or the Moto X? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    What keyboard do you like best?

    Google Keyboard! I found it to be more responsive and have a cleaner look and feel than SwiftKey. Though before Google released it I definitely preferred Swift over the the HTC Sense keyboard. That was dreadful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Front facing speakers revolutionary?

    I'm not all that surprised. While the speakers on the front are REALLY nice they come with design compromises that manufacturers don't seem keen to make. Samsung for instance chose to have a larger screen on the S4 where HTC has a phone the same length but smaller screen. It's just choice. And...

    Anyway to remove scuff marks on back?

    Yes! A pencil eraser usually does the trick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
