I basically got it to use as an iPod replacement at work since I don't want to trash my G2. (My Gnex is barely with me and no idea where the Bionic is). But, I think it's a good opportunity to try out T-Mo.

T-Mobile also works great for downloading tv shows. I believe I downloaded close to 90GB last billing cycle. I just put about 10 in a queue to download before I go to bed and then in the morning I wake up to all these nice episodes waiting to be consumed and assimilated into my brain. It's wonderful.

Hmm. Is there a way I can migrate my texts over to my new phone? I unfortunately was lazy with my replacement GNex and never rooted it or installed TiBu. :eek:

Any SMS backup apps for non-rooted phones?

I was watching some Moto G reviews this morning and one reviewer had a T-Mo SIM in it and I was pretty impressed with the download speeds (5-6Mb). To be honest, that's not much lower than what I get on LTE in DC.

Try SMS Backup Pro. I think it's paid version, and honestly I've never had an unrooted phone for more than a couple of hours, but I do think it works on unrooted phones.

Never needed root for the free version. I've had to use it several times with my wifes' phones when changing them over. Pretty straight forward. Either backup the texts with Drive or email them to yourself to restore.

Unlocked, rooted, recovery installed, all in seconds thanks to the Nexus 5 Mac Root Toolkit! Wow, that was easy.

If anyone has a .edu email address (I still have my ancient one from school), you can get a Pebble for $90 from BB. Pretty good deal.

Deal: Pebble Smartwatch at Amazon for $119, as Low as $89.99 at Best Buy With .edu Email | Droid Life

Hmm, was re-installing my Avast anti-virus and it told me that I had a potential malware app... LBE Privacy Guard. Should I list this as a false positive? I can't imagine there's really a problem with this app...

On Android, Mac or Windows?

On Android. Have never had any warnings for malware before!

I've never, ever run any type of Antivirus on Android before so not really sure.

Yeah, whitelisting seems the way to go. Thanks Stig.

Afternoon all! I despise snow. Its only pretty in a picture of someplace I am no where near. People forget how to drive OR think they can drive like a maniac because of 4 wheel drive. UGH! /rant

I need to win the lottery so I can take a vacation somewhere warm.

I don't like the reason you're in Florida but I'd happily switch. I hate this cold weather.

RazorSharp · Dec 17, 2013

Ugh, I hate snow. Took forever to get home today.

On the plus side, the N5 has been pretty great in terms of performance today in its first full day as my daily driver.

I had to pass on tickets for Thursdays Penguins game in Lemuiexs section! Ugh. With ticket price and losing a day's pay it was too much. Damn Xmas!

Stigy · Dec 18, 2013

Good morning everyone!

Already the middle of the week and they are predicting nice warm temperatures for the rest of the week here in NJ - very excited for this!

HanSolo · Dec 18, 2013

It got up to almost 60 yesterday here in good old Albuquerque.

60!

MSUgEEk · Dec 18, 2013

Morning folks! How is everyone?

I'm doing great, thanks for asking. And how are you doing?

Today is an unusually cheerful morning at the office. And to top it off, I just got a bonus! That will probably explain the cheerfulness!

Think I'm going to go to my meth dealer and upgrade my mini to the 128GB version. I've quickly loaded up on work, books, and movies, and I have about 4GB left on the 32GB version!

halon · Dec 18, 2013

Are you going to return it next week because 128GB is too much?

You know Halon, I was feeling bad about the whole exchange/return thing, but then you reminded me of how stupid Best Buy is with the whole pre-order fiasco.

So the answer is: Probably!

BabyBlues · Dec 18, 2013

I can picture Best Buy eventually putting up a big poster of you with the red circle and a slash on it.

This is really exciting news for Pebble:
