android htc

How much space is FB taking? Can you post any screenshots?

I suggest you clear the cache first as this won't impact the actual FB data (i.e. FB account and linked contacts).

I can't even use it as a mass storage device to play MP3s on my 2010 model year Pioneer (whatever the modle is, 6 outputs) and of course it doesn't work on my T1814 Pioneer unit either. I fucking love that thing.

So what the fuck - I read up online and there are two AWESOME solutions, buy one of the 2012 model Kenwoods or Pinoneers, download some apps and is SHOULD be able to play MP3s... thats it.. no fucking streaming Pandora or Rhapsody, no youtube or videos... just God damn MP3s like a freaking USB ZipDrive.

...OR.... I can pretend its 1996 all over again and

Are you shitting me...

Bluetooth audio isn't something new, and works with any capable device, which includes pretty much every smartphone ever made.

Lol people think nothing of plopping down 4-500 for a new phone but cry at the thought of upgrading a Shitty stock car stereo. Apple really has mindfucked the masses.

initial_jc · 12-25-2012, 08:37 PM

I'm thinking about getting an android phone. I'm looking to get something with a large screen like the note or s3. any other suggestions?

s3 is great had it since the release and it has served me very well for my daily tasks and also fun apps as well. but in the end its your decision and you will decide

jamg · 12-25-2012, 09:03 PM

i have an idea for an app that hasn't been fine-tuned by anyone yet.

Learn to read brah. I didn't realize a year old $400 Pioneer is "stock".

Except the degraded sound quality and battery sucking bullshit.

So... when can I be seeing any kind of software update for my Verizon HTC Thunderbolt...

damn, S4 in spring already. That sounds like a really fast update, maybe like the 4s to the 4.

The note is way too big for me.

I'll definitely be looking for updates on the S4 though.

Its a year later, S3 was April 2012 no?

Apple update is expected in June as well. 5s or 6, im not sure.

SimpleS14 · 01-02-2013, 03:12 PM

Yea, the Galaxy S is usually announced in the Spring with international availability occurring soon after that. However in the U.S., the release is a bit later in the year after the international release. Who knows how it will happen with the S4. I'm just glad an Android phone manufacturer finally released a consistent phone across all carriers.

Rob's S14 · 01-02-2013, 05:08 PM

Yeah I guess it was June so one year. I just don't see any phones where I'm blown away and say right when I see, " I have to have that phone." Last time I did that it was for the original Incredible (at the time, it was a big deal) I'm probably gonna get a used Rezound for cheap and hold out a little bit longer, that way I don't give up my upgrade discount.

Corbic · 01-28-2013, 06:38 PM

So is rooting your Android illegal now?

kandyflip445 · 01-28-2013, 09:01 PM

According to the article I read, rooting is fine. Unlocking a phone you purchased with a subsidy (sp?) is illegal now.

***S14DB*** · 01-28-2013, 10:29 PM

Rooting is fine. Unlocking the baseband to work with other carriers is not.

*DALAZ_68* · 01-29-2013, 12:20 AM

2 things

if you have or know someone with a Droid 4 in atleast 8/10 condition message me

any word on Droid 5...i havent had time to search it, school and work have kinda taken over life...but my droid 3 is being held together by zipties, insurance will only replace with droid 3 (asurion (however you spell it) insurance) for 99 bucks, so i figure might aswell replace it with a used droid 4...

but any on the D5...?

Motorola Droid RAZR HD. Doesn't have all the ridiculous known issues that the Samsung devices have if you get a unit produced before September.

Google play. Is constantly crashing on my note 2. Any tips?

*slider2828* · 05-09-2013, 09:48 AM

Go into applications. Select Google Play store. Force stop and clear cache and wipe the data. Reboot the phone and go from there

Anyone having issues with Facebook app crashing, i'm tired of it
Happening in Htc One X

kandyflip445 · 05-09-2013, 07:17 PM

My One X was fine. Make sure you've done the current OS update on your phone. In other news, I just got the Optimus G Pro from work. Pretty sweet.

Already done this multiple times and same problems

nekrodev · 05-09-2013, 08:14 PM

The Facebook app is just a pile of dicks to begin with. They make a few 3rd party apps or you can use the mobile site instead.

It might be a problem with the facebook API, I use friendcaster pro and it started crashing a lot in the past week.

future · 05-12-2013, 07:44 AM

Anybody elee have ideas?

Gnnr · 05-18-2013, 10:12 AM

Well, my T699 has been acting funky. I believe its because of the battery not charging properly sometimes it only goes to 40% even though I leave it charging overnight and if it charges to 100% it quickly drains in a few hours on standby with no third party apps running in background. T-Mobile will ship me a battery for just the $7 in shipping, since I believe it was still under 1 year from purchase.

In other news, T-mobile informed me that since they no longer offer contracts to new customers that I am eligible for free Mobile HotSpot for what I'm already paying. I tried to get a reduction in monthly cost, but no dice. Oh well, now I get to use my laptop anywhere I have cell coverage.
