TROPHY CASE

Even by intentionally misspelling that word, you've managed to spell it better than 90% of the people who try to spell it correctly.

What is a good site to compare smartphone cameras? Also: HTC One or Droid RAZR HD by DutchMeNowin Android

[–]slinky317 1 point2 points ago

Anything out there about the RAZR HD right now is just speculation. The best thing to do is wait for it to come out and compare the reviews since almost all of them do example pics with the camera.

Two Gmail apps in ICS 4.0, how to remove one? by llamahain Android

[–]slinky317 0 points1 point ago

Can you change settings in one without affecting the other? If so, you can just turn notifications for one off and ignore the app if you can't uninstall it.

Razr Maxx or iPhone 5? by Blackbird_Singingin AndroidQuestions

[–]slinky317 1 point2 points ago

Not to mention that by the time the iPhone 5 comes out (probably in the Fall), there will be much better Android devices out by then.

Here is a link to it on the Store - see if you can install it from there.

Have you tried using the new Android Music app?

What device are you on? On stock ICS, the standard Android Music app does this automatically (as well as put controls on the lockscreen).

Questionnaire time! Have your say in the development of Reddit Sync by ljdawsonin redditsync

[–]slinky317 0 points1 point ago

I would love to have the subreddit swipe to be replaced with profile and inbox pages. I have so many subreddits that swiping through them all is kind of inefficient. I'd rather the subreddit page just change the front page to whatever subreddit you select.

Will Smith Invested $1.2 Mil Into School with Scientology Ties in 2010 by sanfrantexanin entertainment

[–]slinky317 4 points5 points ago

They actually were for quite a while, and it was a well-known war going on about the Scientology page until all Scientology IPs got banned from editing that page (or maybe even Wikipedia totally, I forget).

"Google has always been interested in hardware, the natural next step is for us to get even more serious and to really go for it" says Dennis Woodside, Motorola's new CEO by slinky317in Android

[–]slinky317[S] 0 points1 point ago

It's a little more clear in the BusinessWeek article that the Verge's article is based on:

“Google has always been interested in hardware,” Woodside says. “The natural next step is for us to get even more serious and to really go for it.”

Still a separation, but it's more fluid which is why I combined it into one quote.

Has anyone gotten the Verizon Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 update yet? I thought it was official that it would be released yesterday. by aesamattkiin Android

[–]slinky317 1 point2 points ago

It was definitely not official. Blogs were reporting that customers were being told by tech support reps that they were reading an official notice, but that's a bad game of telephone. I won't believe it until an actual screenshot of PDF gets leaked, and even then I'll still be somewhat skeptical.

But most of their patents are FRAND patents. There's only so much they can do with them.

Google's purchase of Motorola approved by China regulators, deal expected to close next week | The Verge by technopwnin Android

[–]slinky317 0 points1 point ago

But it hasn't, really. During the presidential review period, which can take up to two months, Motorola can still import its devices at a rate of $0.33 per device. That also gives them time to engineer out the offending issue, if possible.

Afterwards, Microsoft has stated they just want to license the patent, similar to what they've done with other companies. See here.

Microsoft isn't Apple. They're looking to license the patent, not outright ban imports altogether.

Verizon Wireless Debacle - If I'm able to switch to a 4G phone to keep my Unlimited Plan, which phone should I go to? by y0jimboin verizon

[–]slinky317 -1 points0 points ago

I wouldn't say "undisputed" - while it is probably best when it comes to radios and stock battery life, the Galaxy Nexus has a much better screen as well as NFC, two things the RAZR will never be able to get via updates.

Now, when the RAZR HD is released, however...

Microsoft wins US import ban on Motorola’s Android devices by TuneRaiderin Android

The difference here is that Microsoft is looking to license the patent, not block sales completely like Apple is.

I keep hearing that "Android doesn't have any good tablet apps". What seems to be missing? by kireolin Android

[–]slinky317 0 points1 point ago

When I'm downloading an app on my tablet, I want to know if there's a tablet UI to it. Many apps don't, and I wish the Store just had a little green check mark if it has a tablet-optimized UI. Maybe a section dedicated to those apps with a tablet UI.
