    Google does have a protection plan, I get it for my Pixel devices. I have had bad experiences with Geek Squad, they basically refused to cover anything I took in. Go with the Google plan.

    Rename AndroidForums.com to Daily.Net

    I get the popup to disable adblock plus every time even though it is disabled. I also see no ads on desktop, haven't tried mobile. Frankly, I gave up using mobile because ads everywhere are so intrusive it makes the sites useless.

    Why do I do this to myself...

    Every first weekend of the month barring work or other priorities I drag myself down to the gun show to look at all the cool stuff I can't afford and walk out with about $30 in jerky, sausage and smoked cheese. I then proceed to lament about the rifle or pistol I would have loved to bring...

    Root Can't send or receive texts

    All of a sudden a few weeks ago I completely lost text capability with my Sprint number. Google Voice number works fine and I can place calls on both. I have not accepted any updates and this morning I wiped and loaded Viper Rom to see if it was an issue with Fresh but still nothing.

    Root [CDMA] Phantom screen touches

    My wife has my 3D and it has started going through a phantom touch wig out. You can set the phone down, watch it and it will all of a sudden register a touch, or if you are trying to do something it will register the touch somewhere else on the screen or even multiple points. I am going to...

    Help Lagging Phone Dialer

    My dialer has become very laggy lately, sometimes taking 20 seconds to get my call choice window (Google Voice) and place a call after hitting a listing in my dialing history or contacts. If I direct dial it goes quicker. Not sure if this is the phone or Google Voice but I am leaning towards...

    The Ultimate Battle!

    Because of the joking between Voided Saint, Yeahha and myself I am creating this thread. I enjoy ribbing them on the Samurai v. Ninja subject so please post your Ultimate Battle scenarios for discussion, real or fictional characters, it is all fair game here. While we should keep it fictional...

    Consolodating the branches of government?!?!

    I can't believe Obama thinks he has the power (or a chance in hell) to consolidate the other two branches of the federal government under the executive branch! If anyone needed proof that he wants to turn the US into a socialist dictatorship then this is it.

    Really? Because we all know this never existed before:rolleyes: Siri Starts Car Engine I am getting sick of these idiots ignoring the fact that something existed before and acting like the iPhone is the first to have it. I guess this doesn't count even thought the iPhail is included...

    2nd Amendment

    OK, as a guide I am foolishly venturing into a hotly contested subject...or is it? The House just passed H.R. 822 which is the National Right-To-Carry Reciprocity Act, a bill which will provide for State Reciprocity for Concealed Carry Permit holders (of which I am one) all across the U.S. by...

    Crossed calls...

    We seem to be having a rash of crossed calls, dial a number but get somebody you don't know and the person you are calling gets somebody else entirely. It has slowed down recently but is still happening, at it's peak it happened multiple times a day now it is just one or two a week. Has...

    Root [CDMA] Phone updated itself!

    I woke my phone earlier this evening to a "Your system has been updated" screen, thing is I never saw or accepted an update. Has anybody else had this happen? I still have S-Off and my recovery is intact, can't see where any damage was done, but still this is a little unsettling.

    Flex T9

    Is anybody else using Flex T9 from Nuance? I have posted about it in a couple of other threads but it doesn't seem to get any response. Frankly, this is hands down better than Swype, with which I ended up typing out more than swyping. I use the gesture typing almost exclusively with Flex T9...
