Reason L took so long to become lollypop? They were futilely looking for a "kitkat" type promotional partner. With m, they have no problem. M&M or Milky way depending on which Mars wants to promote.

I have a Roku 3 and am in the market for a second streaming box. The prices are similar SO what would/should get me to choose the Player over the other two. One glaring omission with the Nexus Player is no Amazon Prime access. Though understandable that Amazon might not want to support the...

Not a major issue, but the LG keyboard keeps resetting as default even though I prefer and set Swiftkey as default. This happens randomly from time to time, I go to use the keyboard and it's not Swiftkey anymore. The check box for the LG keyboard is grayed out, so there's no way to deactivate...

So, I was just playing with quick remote for the first time. Not very impressed. I found my TV and got it working, but you need to point almost laser pointer precise at the devices IR receiver for it to work. So far, I have been u able to get a learned code to work at all. Not for a TiVo or a...

Not a question, I fixed the problem but thought I should leave this around for others. I had a issue about a month ago that may be connected, it sure complicated things for me. My SD card became corrupted. I was able to fix it and recover some of the stuff there, but lost my stored nandroids...

Got my Note 2 (via ebay) on Friday and so far so good. One issue that cropped up was with the dialer. On my (wife's) LTEvo, when in a call there's a button on the dialer screen that allows an easy swap between bt and the phone. I'm guessing this is a Sense feature as I can't find it on the...

Just sent back my N7 to Asus. Since the touch screen is non functional, I had to use the hardware method to accomplish a factory restore (wipe my data). Following Asus's official method doesn't work, the N7 will go to bootloader and that's it. I searched and found there's a flaw, you need to...

I was having a great time with my N7, then the end came(?). I came home last night, removed the N7 that was in a case from my padded messenger bag and found the screen cracked and the digitizer inoperable. BUMMER! No warranty for this damage. Double bummer. Then it got a whole lot worse...

Had a strange occurrence with my N7 last night, one that I haven't seen in any capacitive device I've owned (and that's quite a lot!). While browsing in chrome, the screen went "crazy" changing from link to link. I played around a bit and found that the lower left corner of the screen had...

Last night I decided to try to get Flash enabled on my N7. I read a couple of tutorials and set to work. I extracted flash from my LTEvo , installed it on the N7, d/l and installed Firefox beta. This didn't work at all, all I get is unsupported mime type where the video should be. I tried...

I bought my wife a Simple Touch for her birthday back in November. She loves it. So much so , I bought one for my mom and older son. They love it. Recently, my wife's Simple Touch began loosing charge prematurely. Finally, I decided to contact B&N. Did an online chat. They went through...

I've been driving the Evo for well more than a year now and have been very satisfied with the phone, so much so that I decided to wait for LTE devices even though I had an upgrade in October (given to wife). I've flashed a number of roms, first settling on MikeG's rom, then moving to and...

After a week, I think I'm falling in love with my NT! Rooting has made it uber functional and I've been gorging on the $.10 apps/games and the Amazon free app of the days. Absolutely blows away our old gTablet, this thing is in use almost all day. I take it with me as a ereader and when it...

Still don't have my tablet. I took advantage of the $25 MC credit which meant I had to have the device delivered even though I bought it via phone in a B&N with good stock (86th St NYC). No pick up in store available. The tablet finally shipped 2 days later than the published ship date from...

I was looking hard at both the b&m tablet and kindle fire. I was leaning towards the tablet for its speed and it being more sideload friendly but was content to wait a while. The $25 MasterCard cyber Monday deal pushed me over the edge. Ordered today, hopefully get it early next week...
