I use my phone for everything so I need the bigger screen. I haven’t used my laptop in over a year and canceled my internet about 5 months ago.

I have unlimited data through Verizon and don’t want to give it up.

Running 4.4.2 Official on my Moto X for a while now (Soak Test). NO real changes, I think screenshotting might have gotten better.

Android is the best thing ever. \<3 my Droid mini. Posting is easier than subscribing. carry on.

edit: saw a question about wireless charger on the last page, I got this and it works mint: [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6SPYJS/ref=oh\_details\_o00\_s00\_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6SPYJS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I’m thinking of making a phone dock for my car that integrates that charger.

HTC one or Galaxy S5?  
The galaxy is now water resistant / shock resistant like the S4 active.

Do you need the water resistant and shock resistant features? If not I’d probably look at the HTC One M8.

Two things I really dislike about the M8, integrated battery and the camera.

I had the m8 for all of two days before I sent it back. I have a G2 now and didn’t feel that the m8 was enough of an improvement for me to keep it. I read somewhere that the camera is still the same as the m7 and I wasn’t impressed.

I would like to replace my G2 soon. The GPS is what kills it for me. It is very inaccurate and spotty at best.

I’d have gotten a moto x a long time ago, but the lack of mhl is a deal breaker. I always plug my phone into my appradio and it uses mhl

I’ve have this droid rzr m for over a year and only managed to Crack the rear part around the camera as of recently. I’m out on the wheeler or tractor in the woods every evening now. Gps isn’t huge as I have it in my In dash in my car. Also I don’t have a computer anymore and I do everything from my phone. I may switch carriers here soon. Maybe sprint.

My contract with att is up on July 9. Any ideas on how to get out of it now without paying ETF fee? My g/f gets a work discount with verizon. For 2 phones it would only be $131 a month.

I’m hearing a lot of bad things about the early S5’s. It’s a great phone don’t get me wrong, just a lot of screen sensitivity issues and glitches for some. They seem to be a hit or miss reliability wise. I wouldn’t hesitate to get a replacement if yours is acting funny. According to a local Samsung rep, they weren’t supposed to be released for another 5 months. The power saving mode and remote function is really cool though.
