    Best option for using my US smartphone in Canada?

    It really depends on how much you're planning to use the phone. I've got a carrier locked, 100% stock S4 and just got back from Vancouver this morning. While there I roamed on Rogers with my AT&T Sim card. The add on plans are extensive, but I knew I was only going to be using a few minutes of...

    Nexus 7 hdmi to hdtv

    In a word, portability. I currently use my SGS2 and an MHL adapter at work when its slow to watch tv shows or stream Netflix. I've got an array of 8 24"monitors and can get away with stealing one to watch tv on. It would be nice to start a show or movie on the tablet and be able to pick it up on...

    LTE switch widget

    Thanks, we downloaded that one last night. Its not ideal, but it'll work. I was hoping for a toggle, like you can get for wifi, bt, etc.

    LTE switch widget

    A widget would be a necessity for her, she's not overly technical. What's that widget called? I'll look for it in the market tonight.

    LTE switch widget

    That might work. A direct on/off switch would be better, but I'll take what I can get. Got any names?

    LTE switch widget

    My gf picked up a RAZR last night. Overall, I like it, not sure that I'd like it more than my GS2, but its nice. Most of the day the phone will probably sit in her pocket or will be used for calls, texts, etc so having the LTE radio on would be an unnecessary drain on the battery. Does anyone...

    [Closed] Win an AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G

    re: Win an AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G I know Phil fell completely in love with that camera, and the form factor, and the battery life, and the weight, and the....well you get the idea. Coming from blackberry and HTC products, I've got to say my favorite things about are the sheer speed and that...

    Root Question

    Go back to XDA and look for the faq post. There's a different root method that doesn't trip the flash counter. That way, if you take the phone back for warranty repair you can return to stock and hopefully they won't find out you voided the warranty by rooting it. Once you have root, install...

    Long time Blackberry user, just bought an SGSII...

    I too am a somewhat recent convert. The smartphone bug bit me about 7 or 8 years ago with a Nokia 6682 (that thing had a great camera). From Nokia, I went to WinMo. Had a few pieces of junk and finally did enough warranty returns they told me to pick another handset and landed on the Palm Treo...

    Replacement Launchers vs touchwiz

    I really like touchwiz launcher. Used Go launcher ex on my inspire. I'd say its a close second. The only complaint I have about touchwiz is the widget grid. They only give you a 4x4 grid, I greatly preferred the 5x4 grid.
