Official Android thread

I am too except I had to root the VZW GS3 to use data overseas. They pushed the 4.1 Global phone update which, by the way, locks down APN settings.

I guess I’d do the same if I were Verizon. Why not force a shit ton of business subscribers to pay you $25 per 100 megs

Gonna make the switch to a rooted jelly bean rom from ICS on sprint…

Currently running Blazer rom and its been great, but i’m debating others.

Any recommendations… phone is a GS3

EDIT: it must have Hold vol up to skip tracks (its important for motorcycle rides)

Yeah there’s been a couple of times when I was on travel and tossed on stock firmware so taht I didn’t have to deal with buggy custom rom bullshit. Of course then I deal with buggy stock rom bullshit. I definitely see the appeal of end-to-end products like iphones or blackberries back when they weren’t 3 years away from relevancy.

does anyone have any idea if verizon will be coming out with anything in the near future or what seems to be a good phone right now? my contract is up pretty soon ~april so its time for a new phone.

sticking with android. right now i have a droid 3, sometimes a little slow since its a 3g phone, and maybe once a month itll be glitchy or lock up, but otherwise im very happy with it and use it more than i should lol. seems like theyre doing away with the keyboard which sucks…still like to use it about half the time on mine.

The DNA looks pretty appealing

As far as I know, galaxy s3, razr maxx hd, droid DNA are vzw flagships right now.

I’m up for renewal, I’m going to wait for the s4.

Running freegs3.awesome results so far.

Miss the swipe to screen shot though

this? [ROM] Team Sonic-FreeGS3 JB v3.0.0 |12-24-12| |REVOLUTIONARY...Redesigned| | XDA Forums

…intersting. they’re really hyping this thing up.

I hate these kinds of teasers damnit

Google now can now be a widget. Nexus devises are starting to get 4.2.2 OTA update.

fixed

pfft…If you haven’t rommed on VZW yet, you’re wasting time.

oh and 4.2.2 disables the unsupported LTE in the nexus 4 like I thought it would

My S3 is now unlocked if anyone is interested.

Because you all know you need more android in your life.

45min on NFC security

If you skip the middle section on the actual fuzzing it goes onto attacks for the last 15-20min

Ubuntu for tablets and phones… if only Microsoft did this for Windows…

that’s a cool idea.
i’ll have to play with one.
