    N4 upgrade from GNex

    There's no shortage of opinions on the Nexus 4, but just figured I'd toss mine in. With the price drop, I pulled the trigger on the 16GB model. Some of the reasons: - N4 has DC HSPA+, so faster data on T-Mobile - I suspect 4.3 will be the last major update to the GNex (especially after the 4.3...

    What?? No LTE???

    I saw the news about the price drop on the Nexus 4, and decided that was the push I need to upgrade my GNex. I like the N4, but at $350 to upgrade, my GNex was good enough. Now though I can't resist. I'm sure there will be a new Nexus phone in the next couple months, but I am betting it...

    Some articles if you've never heard of this tablet

    I didn't realize Sony already had a successor to the Xperia S until I was scrolling through the list of forums here... Anyway, some articles: Sony's Xperia Tablet Z announced: 1.5GHz quad-core, 10.1-inch 1,920 x 1,200 screen and 6.9mm thickness With The Xperia Z And Xperia Tablet Z...

    HSPA+ 21 vs 42

    Just FYI. A friend got his N4 over the weekend. I have a GNex (as did he) and we are both on T-Mobile. At work today we did some speed tests with the phones side-by-side. At work I usually get HSPA:8 or 9, but did not look this time to see what the actual connection was. We ran a speed test...

    Does the GNex support Bluetooth High Speed?

    My guess is it does not, after trying to send a file between two GSM GNex's both running 4.2.1 by using Android Beam. It appeared to go over bluetooth, and was quite slow. I couldn't find anything definitive about the BT capabilities, except the list of profiles it supports: Connect to...

    Much improved standby time with 4.2

    Anyone else notice this? The other day, my phone was on 1 day 18 hours (42 hours) and had only gone down to 67%. Granted I don't use my phone a lot. Screen time was about 20 mins, I streamed some Pandora for about an hour, and spent an hour in a no-signal area (used to use a ton of battery...

    LTE knocks that invariably mention the iPhone...

    I've noticed a lot of the criticism around the lack of LTE invariably mentions how the iPhone added it. I don't quite get why that matters, though. People seem to mention how "connected" the iPhone is, and how they spared no expense making it connect to everything. The iPhone up until the 5...

    TMo TV app on BYOD?

    Does anyone know if you can get the T-Mobile TV app for a non T-Mobile phone? Like a Galaxy Nexus? I have TMo service, I just didn't buy a phone sold by T-Mobile. So their apps are not pre-installed. But since I am basically paying for TMo TV each month, it would be nice to be able to try...

    Small apps

    Looks like the Xperia Tablet has improved small apps. Most notably that you can make a small app for any widget: Sony Xperia Tablet S Small Apps - YouTube I wonder if we will get this as part of the JB update?

    Google Now and battery life

    Just wanted to share in case anyone else noticed similar behavior: Prior to the JB update, I generally got 1-1.5 days out of my GSM GNex before I felt like it needed to be charged (35% or less). This is with pretty mild use, I rarely make calls, mostly it is reading some emails or looking up...

    Tablet S successor leaked

    Sony Xperia Tablet leaked from internal slides: Surface-style keyboard and tentative $450 price tag -- Engadget Thinner, Tegra3, 20% bigger battery, aluminum case, HDMI out, sounds pretty good.

    Credentials in plain text

    After the password breach/notification banner, I started to look a bit closer at things. When logging into AF, it is not over SSL (I'm sure the reason for that is money). But more than that, it POSTs the password in plain text. I believe vBulletin allows for sending MD5-hashed credentials...

    Jelly Bean update?

    Think the S will get Jelly Bean? Sony has actually been extremely good about updating devices to ICS. Think it will continue with updates to Jelly Bean in a reasonably timely manner? Obviously it won't be arriving before the GNex or Xoom, but I wonder if a) it will happen at all, and if...

    I love this phone!

    I'm sure it is partly due to the better network, which takes less juice to stay connected to... But normally, I'd charge my Triumph in the morning before work. When I'd get home, it was in the 40% range, and I'd wonder if it would last until the next morning. Sometimes it did, sometimes it...

    Another mhl adapter that works

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006FTKM12/ I picked this because it could be used with free super-saver shipping, and I had a couple other things that were shy of the $25 limit. Apparently there is a Samsung-branded one that would have worked too...
