    Root Rooting and ROMing the Alpha G850W

    Been a while since I rooted and flashed a ROM. The Galaxy Alpha doesn't have much choice out there for the G850W variant. Last night I flashed the latest TWRP recovery and Cyanogenmod 13 (unofficial). So far everything is stable and almost everything works. I tried BT pairing in my 14 Ford...

    G3 to Alpha

    Just got my Alpha today at Costco. They had an amazing promo going and the sub-5" form factor was something I wanted to get back to. The Alpha was $19 on a 2 year contract plus $100 back in Costco credit. $80 in pocket to buy a screen protector and case. Also went on a new plan: unlimited...

    Accessories Caseology CD Mount

    I bought the Caseology CD mount for my LG G3 about 2-3 weeks ago. The best $14 I've spent in a while. Fits a large phone perfectly. However, you need a basic TPU case or thinner otherwise the G3 will not fit. BT music and Nokia Here offline Navigation is fantastic. No need for a 3rd party...

    WiFi connection quality on Samsung

    Just something I have noticed on the various Android phones and tablets. Whether it be LG, Sony, HTC they all seem to connect at 150Mbps maximum on an internal network, regardless of the router as well. My S tablet and my bro-in-laws S5 connect at 300Mbps. Just an observation, what are your...

    Anti-malware, virus, etc. ...what are you using?

    Just got myself a new Asus TP300LA laptop direct from MS. Besides some nice Asus utilities there is zero 3rd party trialware, Yay! It's been a while since I used Windows and I generally stuck with MSE at the time for AV defence. Win 8.1 comes with a rebadged/upgraded version of MSE called...

    Accessories CaseLeather

    Does anyone have a case made by ? They are made in Israel from leather and there are 2 models in the flip-style I'm considering. In Canadian coin they are $46 which is not bad considering the material. Right now I have a generic flip which is fine but can only hold 2 cards.

    Accessories Otter be a Ghost

    When I purchased the OtterBox Defender with my G3 the only thing that bugged me was the built in screen protector. Smudges and screen sensitivity are issues as well as less resistance to being scratched. On my previous phones I have used Ghost Armour screen protectors. Today I went to the...

    N7 with 5.0 issues.

    So far, nothing major. However, if you click on your WiFi network to bring up the status the text layout is a bit garbled.

    Upgrade today or wait...

    Bit of a story; First of all, I have a Nexus 4 and the better half has an iPhone 5 (I know, I know, she needs it for work! ;-) ) Anyway, we feel our son is old enough now to own a phone. I'm thinking of giving him my Nexus 4 and going for something new. Maybe a LG G3, Sony Z3 or Moto X. My...

    Strong, fit and energized.

    Here is the routine I've been doing for the past 2 weeks. I'll mention that I was lifting a fair amount 3 months prior however I have cut all but 1 weight lifting movement out. The reason being is I want to stay as close to my current body weight and not have unnecessary bulk. I want to be...

    NAV Customized

    There are a few customized options on my Mazda NB1 Nav. It's a TomTom unit. First is someone made Google Maps skin which is easy on the eyes and I also found a Punisher icon which replaces the standard arrow. 😎

    Picked up the Nexus 7 a few days ago...

    Actually, I cleared the shelf and bought 4 of them. Picked up one for my son and daughter plus bro-in-law (he will pay me back so really I paid for 3 😉. Liking the 7 a lot, for me, it replaced an 8 year old desktop. No longer need a full sized comp and my storage is a 3TB NAS at home...

    Telus S2X (T989D) flatline.

    October of last year my S2X was non-responsive when I woke up one morning. The phone was not even showing a battery charge icon, like it would if the phone was off and plugged in. Black screen, no single vibration when trying to turn it on, zero response. As normal it was plugged into a APC unit...

    4.4.2 WiFi and BT issues

    When I bought my N4 it was only a very brief few days with 4.3 JellyBean. So I've been on 4.4 pretty much the entire time. That was back in October sometime. Even though I have reported that WiFi and BT have been ok, they do disconnect randomly, enough that a rebooted and sometimes a reset is in...

    Kitkat build difference?

    Factory images for the N4 here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?csw=1#occam have changed in the last week. Mine is KRT160 and now there is a KRT16S build. Anyone know the difference?

    MAC addy and Manufacturer name change!

    This is really odd, I recent updated to JB 4.1.2 for my S2X. I run a program called Fing that does a site survey of whatever wifi network you are connected to. It keeps detailed logs of previous devices that have connected as well. So, my S2X use to show the Murata Manufacturing as the hardware...

    Chromebook, keeper?

    I've had the Chromebook (Acer C7) for about a week now and thought I'd share info and gain info from anyone who has one as well! I decided on the Chromebook as the OS has always had my interest and Win8 is no longer an option. First off is the speed. Everything loads fast, its what you get...

    I'm insane...

    Well, that's what the better=half says ;) After battling for about 2 weeks with Win8 on a 3rd Gen i5 based laptop I gave in. You buy beautiful hardware then have to deal with an OS like Win8, it's frustrating, at least for me. I have to mention I did try 3 variants of GNU/Linux which also had...

    Break in the Cloud

    I have 2 'free' online services and they sure are easier to sync and find my emails, calendar, etc from either my laptop or phone. However, I'm just not so sure I want 3rd parties to house my info anymore. I'm responsible enough to take care of my data (backup) so that's not an issue. If I...

    Root JellyStar ROM

    Just installed the JellyStar 1.0 ROM based on 4.2.2 and will be seeing if it suites my needs over the next few days. Running a paid version of Nova Launcher along with it. Very impressed so far and I've always liked the stock feel/look over anything else. Thanks to the Dev ..Cory.. for this!

    No Data Required on One V

    For those not aware the One V does not require a data package in the contract with Telus. 3 weeks ago I took off the data portion off my One v as I really have no need for the service and I personally don't miss it. I talk and text more than anything else and for data; Wifi for me is just...
