    [REMINDER] Your Android phone/tablet (probably) doesn't stream Netflix in HD

    Also note: Just because your phone/tablet is on the list above doesn't guarantee that it will remain (though it should). Prior to Andriod 4.3, Netflix certified VERY few devices and used a proprietary DRM solution. The Droid RAZR was famous for being the first to use it. After Android 4.3...

    [REMINDER] Your Android phone/tablet (probably) doesn't stream Netflix in HD

    Over at TMO News in the comments there's chatter from some stating that "even if Binge-On is turned off, Netflix is still being throttled to 480p on their phone." This is not the case. Netflix only runs at 480p on the vast majority of Android devices, regardless of carrier, WiFi, or carrier...

    How to pay with card other than the default one?

    The majority of people seem to use one card for most purchases. Then you have niche users that have separate cards for personal/business, or specific rewards, or other reasons.

    Moto X (1st gen): XT1053 GSM Unlocked (T-Mobile) 5.1 Lollipop Update

    Re: Moto X (1st gen): Lollipop Update News FYI, if you got the update, it's because you're in the soak test. In order to be in the soak test, you agreed to a non disclosure agreement (NDA) to not discuss the update. You should probably withhold further comments, and perhaps edit your prior...
