Hey, just curious. What keyboard are y'all using? I'm a Swiftkey guy.

Anyone mess with non-rooted launchers? I know this is OT, but news is slow, and I feel like we're all in this together anyway.

After messing with them all, I ended up back at the standard Google keyboard. I can just kit the keys better idk.
 
Slightly off topic...But I have a question...

The LG guest mode that will be on g3 (guess it was on previous LG phones as well), when you grant access to an app...does that app run in the normal user "space" or is it a different instance in a sandbox? So for apps like Instagram that have an account tied to them...when in guest mode, can you log in with a separate account than your normal one or would it just bring up Instagram with your normal user account already logged in?

I'm guessing not, but it would be awesome if you could. Great way to either manage two accounts or to have apps that are tied to accounts setup for your significant other when they need to borrow your phone (like when my wife gets tires of looking at her tiny iPhone screen and wants to borrow my phone for a much more enjoyable experience ;) ) ...

It's one of those things where you have to be a fan.

On the left, Ryuk, a shinigami (death god, death demon in Japanese) is subtitled in a fancy script while speaking with Lighto, who as you may also notice is Japanese. His subtitles in the movie are normal.

Any similarities to this thread are purely coincidental.

Wow Deathnote! I was so addicted to that Manga. :D

I thinking the G3 "Prime" may be something like Korea only such as the S5 prime. Why does Korea get so much power?

My guess and it's only a guess...it's been noted that the G3 has been outselling Samsung(S5) in Korea. So perhaps Samsung releases the S5P exclusively to Korea, at first, to try and win what appears to be a developing battle between them and LG.

So then maybe they release it in the US in the 4th quarter. That gives current S5 users here a little more time gap between devices. Though it won't be enough to calm the storm of blog spots and associated comments on the feeling of screwery.

This seems to be what we're seeing with LG too. 2 devices. One in July (US), the other in...? 4th quarter.
 
Seems the Prime devices would land in others countries just before the new iPhones. Sadly, the new iPhones will sell huge, so probably a market share battle with those and Android Primes. I would not be surprised if Google is providing some form of suppport to help expedite.
 
I think I may wait for that prime, note 4, iPhone war and cash in in it. I dunno.

I'm waiting for LG to release the Optimus Prime. I'd have to buy that on principle alone.

Has that joke already been used? Seemed so obvious.

That would be a "must buy". I'd even buy that off contract, just based on the name alone...LOL.

Or, if LG were smart, they'd do a cross-promotion and create a "special" color way called the Optimus Prime (kinda like the R2D2 Motorola Droid 2) w/ red blue and silver colors, while also offering the newest transformers movie on the device. Seems like it'd be perfect timing. The 4th Transformers movie is 6/27 release. Maybe the "Optimus Prime" is released the same day as the movie?...hmmmm

I wonder, those people convince you more than oneself?

Not if I can actually get my hands on one. Just in the information vacuum, these reviews refute/reinforce my own internal expectations and concerns. Seems like the dim screen is mostly confirmed, and then one or two reviews come out that give me hope.
