    [Closed] Win an NVIDIA Shield or Tegra Note from AC and NVIDIA!

    I just upgraded my video card so my PC can play nice with the shield, it'd be even better if I didn't have to buy the shield :)

    Tec Tiles

    I use tasker for automation, but trigger for everything nfc, it is great for nfc, simple to use and can program, reprogram and erase the tags. I bought a 10 pack of nfc tags from Amazon, cheaper than the tech tiles, and they with great Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Best SMS options with 4.4?

    To the guys using Chomp, check out Textra, its the new project by the same developers, and it was my favorite client, by far... i think Chomp is going to be abandonded... I took a wild shot on the verizon messages app and was floored when it was actually awesome... so that's my current go to...

    What does this rapid succession of updates say (if anything?)

    IPhone's get the same updates, hell, they 7.0.1 for the 5s and 5c on launch day and they are currently on 7.0.3.. the first release of iOS6 had huge WiFi problems that needed patching. nothing is immune from bugs and holes Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Who resisted and who wishes they'd resisted?

    Having none of those problems, the speaker is fine, as good as my iPhone 5, the camera is great, but is a cell phone camera so there are compromises, the build quality is solid, nothing loose on mine. the wifi problems are legit but solved with unchecking a setting and I suspect well be...

    Group Messaging with Note 3

    I know in handcent there was an option to split group texts up or keep them together, IMO handcent was the most ios like messenger, at least on gingerbread... Shorter, check the menu, there might be an option

    note 3 preorder confirmation email verizon says delivery by 10/12/13

    First time preordering an android, but I assume it's the same as iPhones, the date it's delivered is the same date as the store release, and with the iPhone 5 it happened to be the ship date was the delivery date.

    Note 3?s benchmarking ?adjustments? inflate scores by up to 20%

    It doesn't raise frequencies at all, it just makes them run at full speed, there is no over clocking, the chips are still running at 2.3 ghz, it just turns off all the power saving features. It doesn't do this with anything else because a) nothing needs the full power of the chip to run properly...

    Switching to Note 3 from iPhone 5

    Yeah, I wanted to get a taste of jellybean before making the leap, so I put it on my old rooted incredible, which is not supposed to be able to run it... It had a touch of lag, but for the most part ran smooth and looked great, it is a much more mature system than it was under gingerbread and if...

    Switching to Note 3 from iPhone 5

    While true, Google has been moving to a model that goes around the carriers, the google play services are updated by google and on a regular basis, most of the functionality in Android comes from this and any device post gingerbread uses it (90%+) while it might not be the latest version number...

    Switching to Note 3 from iPhone 5

    I switched from gingerbread 2.3, to the 4s, then the I5 and now am switching back to the note 3. Android vs IOS is largely subjective, they have pluses and minuses so you'll have to decide that for yourself. My experience is that IOS is more polished, but Android is significantly more powerful...

    USB 3.0

    QC2.0 requires a chip in both the device and charger, they handshake and allow the higher power charge. Unfortunately the chargers won't be available until 2014

    From where are you making the jump to the Note 3?

    iPhone 5 for me, I flipped to apple after the gnex, I hated the screen and the iPhone had no peer at the time, I had the 4s and 5, tech has changed, apple hasn't and I am ready for a real screen.
