Great way to limit buyers. Making it stem-style means only those who can accommodate them will buy them. There are users who can't get a good seal with stem-style earbuds because the stem limits the depth the bud can reach in the ear. There are people with deep ears...

Is it necessary to have the phone and 3G Gear S2 on the same carrier? What I mean is, can I use an S2 activated on Verizon with a phone activated on a GSM carrier?

So no real need to stick to the Project Fi-specific Lollipop build? I was thinking maybe I needed to flash the Project Fi Lollipop build to use the PFi sim in my N6.

Welp...Unlocked Nexus 6, here. AT&T slipped a branding update on it. I feel like AT&T is doing this to interfere with Project Fi. The very thought of that steams me so bad I cannot stand it. But even if AT&T isn't monopolistically trying to do this, the fact that they are branding unlocked Nexus...

Thanks to your comment, I was able to understand what was happening with my Nexus 6. I kept getting the same "Can't open microphone" error. I uninstalled Cortana for Android and all is normal now.

Not long after I wrote about having to shelve my GS3, I came across a more reliable root method and succeeded in rooting it and flashing CM10.2. This allowed me to install the older maps app I have saved. Because of the hassle of Knox, this hardware will never see another Samsung ROM.

Thanks for the heads up. Thanks for the maps app, too. I'm going to shelve my GS3 because of the 4.3 update. I've tried every way to root it so I can install some other rom and have had nothing but failure. I was able to successfully install a custom recovery, but It won't flash custom roms. It...

I hate the updated Google Maps in 4.3 and want to revert back to Android 4.1.1 on my AT&T GS3 so I can use the older maps. Would I run into problems just flashing a custom 4.1.1 rom now that my GS3 has 4.3 on it? Would there be issues with 4.3 bootloader and radio?
