Look at all the nice cars in this thread!

All I know is that bluetooth on the S5 is different from my previous phone (Galaxy Nexus). I had a Samsung HS3000 bt headset that I used to get audio into my car's Aux input. The S5 would not work with it, it basically ignored volume settings. I bought a cheap no-name bluetooth receiver and that...

Okay now someone tell me whether navigation voice is considered a notification? I was using navigation and listening to a podcast today, and suddenly the nav voice came on three times as loud as the podcast Volume control is my main beef so far with the S5. My Bluetooth volume is about half...

The wait is over, apparently: Android 4.3 ROM Coming Straight From Source Now Available for Verizon Galaxy Nexus | Androidheadlines.com

I haven't tried since 4.0.4 but I've definitely had that in .2. I only notice it with ear buds in, like a low pop and only in the left ear.

There's one problem with this speculation and that is the number is HEXADECIMAL. So it would be a 16-day rollout ending in F. Doubt this. Tired of forum speculation. Tired tired tired

Carriers are governed by the laws of physics, even more than the laws of the FCC. At this point they know they are going to have to buy unused TV spectrum to get bandwidth in many places. It's gonna be a tightrope act to provide people speed, until there is another round of innovation.

Mine's worn out!

Nice try dawg. This forum is smarter than that.

Q.E.D.? Between your "concerns" and "imagination", versus actual proven facts and good information, I'll go with the facts. Sorry.

From your THANKS stats I see you also make helpful, relevant comments.
