I've been meaning to take these photos for awhile. My wife and I buy our phones unlocked. We ordered her 64GB Gold iPhone 5s ($849) the day that they were available. But, we slept in so it took about 3 weeks to get it. Anyway, I kept telling her to get a case, and she didn't listen. View the...
As of this upcoming Monday I will no longer be an S4 GPE user. However, I figured I'd leave current and potential users with the following two nuggets of information.
1. The camera has vastly improved lately due to the 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 updates as well as updates to the camera app. The shutter...
Background: During the Keynote of Google I/O in May, 2013, Google announced the Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition. Both this device and the HTC One (M7) went on sale June 26, 2013 as the first two Google Play Edition devices. They officially began shipping to customers on July 9, 2013, although many...
I know that this forum doesn't see much traffic anymore, but I'll continue to post until I ditch the phone :)
Received the 4.4.3 OTA on Tuesday. I've included a screenshot of the update. It weighs in at 156MB, which is larger than most of the Nexus update, I believe. I'll try to keep a running...
I'm putting together one of my "guide" threads for the Android community, but I need some preliminary feedback from you guys before I post it. Please bear with me here, and please only post the requested feedback if you meet the following guidelines;
Your phone has a MicroSD expansion slot...
I'm just curious to see what everyone uses for their personal upgrade criteria. For example, do you upgrade on a set time interval? Do you wait for a specific requirement (hardware/software)? Do you just upgrade when you see a phone that you like?
Read below for my criteria, or post your own...
As some of you know, Google released their separate camera app today. Users of Nexus and Google Play Edition devices will see this as an "update" to their current app when you open the Play Store. So, unlike OEM variants, you won't be running two cameras side by side if you download this. Before...
Earlier in the S4 GPE forum, I broke that Samsung had uploaded the ML4 source (4.4.2 for S4 GPE) to their open-source repository. Seems HTC did the same today as well.
I can confirm with my own eyes that an LG G-Pad GPE and an HTC One GPE got the 4.4.2 rollout today. However, Google tends to do...
Just wanted to share.
Samsung Open Source Release Center
If you NEED to see it yourself, it's under mobile phones. Update is "ML4."
EDIT: Update is now live. I didn't get it, but someone had to!
Got it a few hours ago. More bad than good is my initial impression, but it's too soon. Lots of instability, especially with issues related to photos/videos stored on the phone. Both the Gallery and Google Photos apps crash like mad.
I'm going to do a factory reset, as I'm overdue for that...
My last four phones have been;
Nokia E71 (OEM unlocked)
HTC Droid Incredible (Verizon, and I was a ROM developer)
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 (OEM unlocked)
Samsung Galaxy S4 GPe GT-i9505G (OEM unlocked)
So, I've had a nice range of smartphone cameras. For video, the S4 GPe beats all...

I want to extend a personal congratulations to Redbox for finally hiring real programmers. They have finally enabled HW acceleration within their app. It was the last app that I used that required HW Acceleration...
In the release notes, they claim "improved scrolling responsiveness." However, one particular website just became an insane lagfest - nfl.com 's mobile website. If I switch to desktop, it's fine.
So if you get a chance, and you've already updated Chrome to version 29 on Android, please head...
