My only real gripe with the GS5 is the fucking charging port. It has that stupid dust flap thing that always gets in the way and it uses a two connector USB 3.0 charging cable that is impossible to fucking plug in. If you’re doing it in the dark, forget it. ---

mY gs5 had an unreal battery when i got it… now it sucking again, i probably downloaded a shitty app or 10 that are killing it. Seriously, I’d get 5 hours of screen time and 25 hours on a charge… now i get 3 screen, and 8 total. Ugh ---

The lightning cable Apple came out with was one of the best creations. That thing goes in any way possible. Haha ---

Just switched from my old iPhone 4s to the dark side. Picked up an LG G3 What cool things should I do to it? When I open up a new tab on the internet it puts it in the back/minimizes it rather than making it the page I want to view, I’d like to change it if I can. ---

Sweet, someone is totally going to steal my pictures of my dog now! This really comes down to poor update/upgrade processes where the carrier fingers their butt with the updates. I really wish they’d just come straight from google. I didn’t really understand the part where messenger was the default MMS. The article made it sound like it wasn’t affected, but then it was. ---
