I did try them, and loved how smooth and fast they were. For the record, Touchwizz is less horrible then it was before, but definitely especially while on Dalvik, still lacking in overall fluidity and refinement (and still horrible, namely how weighted down and full of junk it is, sapping the...

Caution: Maybe the longest wall of text in this forums history on something that could be summed up quite quickly. :D I've been following the discussion between ART vs Dalvik and for some reason it kind of fascinates me. I decided to give ART a try on my S5 (Sprint, U.S) after hearing that it...

Re: Why is Google CONSTANTLY requesting my "recent location"?! Turned everything "off" & persists Hmm, interesting. Unfortunately that's way over my head at the moment, but sounds perfect. If somehow the phone could tell when it wasn't actually on me? Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to get...

Re: Why is Google CONSTANTLY requesting my "recent location"?! Turned everything "off" & persists Yeah, I have that off too, lol. Very weird. BTW, turning on or off "Web History" and "Personal Results" shouldn't be a factor in this, correct?

Re: Why is Google CONSTANTLY requesting my "recent location"?! Turned everything "off" & persists Thanks. I do, and I've always been more of an Apple guy, but gave Android another chance after the horrid experience with what I considered an awful device (GS3), and glad I did as I do mostly...

Why is Google CONSTANTLY requesting my "recent location"?! Turned everything "off" & persists Hi all. Fairly new with the GS5, have it all set up and optimized how I like it. Part of that was having "Location Services" always "off", until I thankfully realized that my Lookout "Find My Phone"...

Exactly what I've been thinking. People keep saying "Jelly Bean Keyboard", but there are a number of them in the App Store. I DL'ed the "johntanmi" one, because it seems the lightest, and uses the least MB's, and it's great. The new 4.2V has Swype, hold-to-punctuate, auto correct like my iOS...

Re: g into GS3 frame (back cover loose on one end/won't clasp on) Turns out it thankfully was the plastic piece. Got a new one and so far, it clips in as it should. Weird as the old backing didn't have a broken clip/tooth and said "tooth" looked perfectly like the one on the other side that...

I have Jelly Bean on the GS3, and am wondering if there's a way to get Texts previewed on the lock screen when I have PIN mode enabled? I.e how iOS does it? Kind of annoying to have to enter the pin and then check the message manually. Also, is there a way to setup "shortcuts" when in Pin...

Re: Back plastic cover "tooth" not clipping into GS3 frame Yeah it gets a little squeak/creak in that area due to the cover being loose. Kinda lousy for a costly phone, though I got mine for a nice discount at least.

Re: Back plastic cover "tooth" not clipping into GS3 frame I guess if it's a chassis issue where a simple cover won't replace it, it'll be a good sign that I need a case already.

Re: Back plastic cover "tooth" not clipping into GS3 frame (back cover loose on one end/won't clasp No, took out the cover and cleaned out the holes majorly (nothing in there to begin with). For whatever reason, on that one side, the clip just doesnt' clip (it meekly goes in and then just...

Back plastic cover "tooth" not clipping into GS3 frame (back cover loose on one end/won't clasp on) I was wondering if this is normal for the GS3? The upper left "tooth" on the back plastic cover for my phone isn't clipping into the phone's basis/chassis. It's been like this since I got it...

I just started using Swype and realized that it's SO much better than the Samsung keyboard, then guess what? In the Web Browser Swype's auto spacing and auto capitalizing doesn't work, and apparently Swype won't answer why. This fragmentation between Android and the hardware is getting...

I was curious about the "bloatware". When I look at my Battery usage, none of these bloatware Apps are showing up as draining the battery. In that case, is going through the hassle of uninstalling them, then "disabling" them, pointless? My concern is to just minimize battery usage, but my...
