Galaxy S3 Watering Hole

It would be a heck of a lot cheaper then any other device out there.

The main questions are: Can I live with HSPA+ (AT&T)? And, will I have the same battery issues I had with my second N7?

Are you running the latest 4.2.2 update and have the latest google play services?

------

I really can't see getting an HTC one or another Note 2 or S4 when other stuff is around the corner. The N4 may be enough to hold me over from my squirrelly Note II.
I'm on T-Mobile but there is a simple hack for AT&T and T-Mobile to turn on the LTE radio. So I get LTE and when I don't I get HSPA+. I'm pretty much always in an LTE area so its pretty nice.

As far as 4.2.2 and latest Google Play Services, yes sir. Though, not sure what latest Google Play Services has to do with all this :confused:. I'm on Build 6/15/13 of AOKP. I use the AOKPush app (it's a buck 75) to get notified of all the latest builds and messages the devs release. Pretty sweet.

With FrancoKernel running on this thing I've never been happier with Android.

2 more pennies.

Hey y'all! Man I'm tired. Drove up to north Carolina to move a family down here to fl. Its 12 hour trip one way..

Got the mail back from the courts that I needed. Find out this week if I can be accepted in to the police academy.

Other than that nothing is new around these parts. I hope y'all had a good weekend and have a good day!
 
So... I checked out an s4 just a little bit ago aat best buy. I kind of liked it but was unable to test it out much since it was tethered and had something over part of the screen.

The display looked good, probably over saturated. Did not notice much lag. I could not check the software version because of the stupid security thing.

One handed use, well, it was tethered but seemed, honestly a bit easier to handle then my note 2, of which I am having a bit of trouble typing on right now.

Other miscellaneous notes is, my power button is messed up and other minor issues with my note is why I am looking.

The bottom line? I did kind of dig the S4. I am kind of thinking about it. But I wonder if the GPE over the stock version.
 
First day in the new digs went well yesterday. :)
They were still a ways away from finishing up installing equipment when we got there but it wasn't a big deal. My boss aid he was going to leave early since I could handle it myself. Does get awfully lonely by yourself. I'm going to pick up a cheap set of speakers we can hook up our phones to for music. Problem is, I only get Edge in there and I stream all my music. :(
Ah well, we'll figure something out. At least the place gives us so much more space. :)
