im the need to know the temperature so intense that it's both a lockscreen widget and also an icon on the top for some reason, its handy because people often walk up to me and say "hey, whats the temperature right now" and then i can tell them

the widget is usually wrong so i installed a different app that just parks a notification up there for some reason lol its all very android

ive never had any problems with my google nexus 4, its probably crashed and reset fewer times than my old iPhone used to. this should really be the sarnsung laffs thread really because they're non-android components seem to cause all the problems

This has merit, as the top three reviews for almost every app has a complaint about incompatibility with the Note 3.

my nexus 4 is usually at ~45% when I get home at night which is comparable to my iphone and better than it was later on

At any rate, the water-cooled version of the Galaxy S5 seems to maintain a steady ~28 FPS, which effectively means that the phone doesn't throttle at all given room temperature water.

people are dumb as gently caress and literally pick the first choice given to them

one of my coworkers went to sprint cause we get a 20% sprint discount or something like that. even with a 20% discount sprint is way more expensive and lovely than every other carrier by a large margin and yet most of my coworkers have sprint phones. their phones are always dead and never get data service but they have sprint. $70 a month for UNLIMITED EVERYTHING except data. just a gig of that. and theres overage charges

There isn't a single product that is a "_____ killer" that is actually better than the product it is supposed to be better than.
