The Company line is that it is for our own good and it's too complicated and messy for end users. They wanted to ensure that manufacturers included enough on board storage to not need it, etc, etc. Do I believe this? As the saying goes, "I was born at night, but not last night." I find that...

That is around the time frame I bought my 16 GB iPod Nano. I can just almost, but not quite, fit all my music on it. My first smartphone was a BB Curve 8300. Probably had a few hundred MB in internal storage. That was followed by the OG Droid, I think that had something like 512MB. That was...

I'm just an occasional visitor but holy cow, what an embarrassing thread! I think I blushed from the second hand embarrassment I felt. Think of all the search engine results that threw people this way, it does not put the staff here in a good light. Volunteer or not, the perception is that Mods...

I've had trouble with Foxfi after the update. Foxfi has been somewhat temperamental since they've switched over to a paid version for whatever reason. After the Jelly Bean update, my connection to the hotspot has been very unstable. The connection itself is fine but I frequently got page load...

"When the latest project is completed, it will bring Samsung's total investment in Austin to more than $13 billion, making it one of the largest foreign investments in the United States." -Businessweek I really don't care how much Samsung or Honda send back to their home countries, just like it...

Re: Seidio Releases 3500 mAh Extended Life Battery for Galaxy S3 After a certain point, you only get an incremental increase in quality per dollar spent. I bought at extra 2200 mah Anker battery for $8 shipped. That is chump change and I can't tell the difference from stock aside from no NFC...

A lot of people click right past the permissions without really considering what kind of access you really are giving the person who owns the app and what the price of "free" really is. Even the more common permissions like read/write text messages/sd drive, phone state gives huge amounts of...

If you guys don't use S-voice, don't forget to disable it so your home button works faster as well. Thought I'd throw that in here as well since people didn't know about this trick as well.

I got a pair of Anker shipped for about $15, even came with a charger. You can dump the old battery, put one of the Anker batteries in the phone and have another ready to swap. The charger is almost worthless but I have no complaints about the battery. I think it performs better than OEM but...

Googled what is aosp and here I am. Thanks for asking the question OP.

Coming from Sense, touchwiz barely feels like it's there. It may or may not be true but it feels lightweight and unintrusive. The added Samsung widgets add value.

Touchwiz is ridiculously smooth. I have no desire to change launchers or to go to stock at the moment.

Really? I can't find it anywhere on the verizon website. I will have to go and check out the store tomorrow.

You can't do anything about the gallery. Download quick pick, it is superior and integrates seamlessly. It's free and there is no advertising as well. PayPal the developer a couple bucks if you think it's worth it.
