Looking for a 4-6 TB mechanical storage drive, best value, starting tomorrow, due to BF specials. Suggestions?

I actually have looked at Davids, so I have some idea what they are capable of. I'm just a bit shocked at the increase in quality, considering my TV's specs.

That's what I"m doing. If you look at the links, I've installed CyanogenMod 12, with Lollipop 5.1.1.

Of course. The ideal would be to start with what I have, a pretty much stripped down version of Googles' near latest operating system, then add items as you need them. The best way to do that would be get a phone from Google, and run it on Fi. The problem is the limited phones they offer both...

I'm really not getting this. My aging Vizio TV/Monitor 120 hz does some really incredible stuff with a surf video promo, in 4k. http://www.surfline.com/surflinetv/trailers/view-from-a-blue-moon-official-trailer_132983 WHY? Plus I haven't upgrade the video driver for my card, since I'm not a...

MMGR did a LOT of work, and knows far more then I do about Android phones, and made all this stuff work on my model phone. Awesome work! If for no other reason, that is a reason to root your phone. To take advantage of experts in the field that know what they are doing, and do the work to make...

double tap.

Uninstall uses root access but, it is better at letting you know what you can get rid of, and can't. Plus it hasn't bugged out, and deleted a bunch of stuff in a loop. To be real, aren't that many apps that you can get rid of, safely. Turns out rooting is better for extending battery life...

Fun with rooting. I deleted a few functions I liked through RomToolbox Pro, and wanted them back. So, since I was having a hard time finding a stock replacement Rom, I went down to my local SR Sprint store. I told the manager what had happened, and he said a factory reset would fix it. We did...

Bill was 24.00. 6.00 basic charge, and added 6 dollars each in other usage areas, data, text, and calling. Expect it will be 6.00 this next month.

I was a root user without Supersu, which makes you sort of not a root user, and, limits program functions, maybe. Somehow, in the Rom Toolbox loop, Supersu was deleted. It's now been replaced, so we'll see if RTP actually works to restore the functions I lost from the system. Noteably I can't...

Rom Toolbox Pro has a bunch of 'features' that don't work on my phone.

Also learned you can get stuck in Rom Toolbox Pro and end up deleting a lot of stuff, and not being able to get out of the program. Using Titanium Backup to try and get all the stuff back that was deleted.

Trend Micro sucks. Don't ever install it. That article is bullshit.

Nexus 5 is out. Around 20 a month through Fi. No interest for me.

Currently I have 6.63 gigs free on the phone, of about 18 and 7 gigs of 59.4 on the SD card. I'm deleting as much stuff, read bad music and pictures as I can...

One of the tools to use if your getting a good value on your purchase is what are the profits and financial statements of the companies you are buying products from? My view is I want the lowest profit company, in that area of product, that is still well designed. So, does anyone have figures...

Considering China labor, or Korea, more like it's .50 cents. The rest goes into advertizing, and shipping.

Odd as this may sound, being on the cutting edge of phones has some real disadvantages. Rooters haven't worked out a fool proof way of rooting on most new devices. I'm not at all convinced that the value for a cutting edge phone is there. The market is really weird. I paid 140 dollars for my...

600 spread over two years would be 25 a month. That, plus the Fi useage bill makes it pretty much a wash with my current Sprint bill @55.00 with everything on it. Plus I don't have to fork over 650 dollars up front.

Hi DD suggested project Fi for power users. So far, here is my evaluation: Rates: 20 flat unlimited, Data for 10 @ 1GB. Potential to cut my 55.00 a month Sprint bill in half, but, doesn't include taxes, and extra charges. DD, can you ask your inlaw that has Fi what kind of extra charges...

Mixzing Pro might do it. http://download.cnet.com/MixZing-Music-Player-for-Android/3000-2139_4-75332369.html I use it because I can delete songs I don't like that I've loaded on to my SD card.

You have a point. I'm using Chainfires' files https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ To do a basic Root, and they work very well. However, certain phones are not yet supported. Kind of wondering why you didn't go with a Nexus 6, and google's network you suggested?

I looked into rooting my Mega about a year ago. It was not easy, nor was it perfected by any means. I would look into what sort of reviews your particular phone gets on being rooted. I passed a year ago on rooting, since the process was an ongoing progression. If I had a cutting edge phone, I...

Just remember you void your warranty if you root. Not an issue with either of the Samsungs. https://www.oneclickroot.com/root-apps/system-app-remover/

From their website, current bill is 24.00. Mainly caused by downloading updates, and programs to the phone.

Just bought a Galaxy S3 for my gf from Ting for 122.00 Great phone for that. Rooted it, and battery life is not an issue. Ting does not load a bunch of stuff on it, and I can remove most of the Samsung stuff. Using the Otter case on my Mega 6.3" screen. No problem putting it on and off, over...

I am expecting a bill between 14-30 dollars for my GFS phone. The Galaxy SIII is a very cool phone, and I spent all day rooting it to maximize battery, and features for my gf. We'll see if I'm right. Most of this stuff is 10 bucks in taxes.

Rom Toolbox Pro has a freeze setting. Wonder if this stops the apps from trying to start again? I'll check into air blocker. Also need to get to know Toolbox pro a bit better, along with Titanium Backup which also has a Freeze feature.

Got it. Still, it's quick, I hate Chrome, and it seems a bit faster then FF.Getting to like the start page, vs. using bookmarks. We'll see. I've only got 8 gigs of ram, but, even with that little bit, FF seems to run fine.

Trying Opera again. Their business is located on Highway 92, as you turn to go south onto 101.

DU Battery Saver also has a Optimize button that pretty much does everything you need with one button push.

Du Battery Saver has a monitor that lets you know what percentage of the processor each program is using. You can then go in and turn them off.

That's the problem. Without rooting, a lot of pre-installed software starts on startup, and can't be removed, or turned off. Rooting gives you the ability to remove a lot of stuff you couldn't, and or use a program to shut it off, or freeze it, and keep it from starting.

Actually not without root access. With Sprint, Verizon, T Mobile they load a lot of crap you can't turn off without rooting. Plus, programs that can control this stuff, can't do it, without root access. Odin works just fine. Have to research your phone. If you want to use Verizon or sprint...

Since my MixZing app for music sucks juice, I plugged it in for about an hour. Currently, at 10 PM or so, I'm at 70 % battery. That's about 20 hours... ROOTING IS GREAT...

With their plan, and a monthly payment plan, I can come in under my Sprint cost right now, save some money, and have their setup. My only concern is too many google techs start out, then get dropped... Frankly, thought, this is so good, I don't see that happening.

It's 2:44 PM. 5 3/4 hours on 25% of the battery. That works out to 22 hours of battery, thanks to rooting, and software. No worries about going the day, or needing a charger all the time...

550 For a Nexus 6 with enough storage for my music. Appears Ting goes for a lower price point, 9 dollars for my gf's useage. Looks like Data is about twice the cost of Google Fi with Ting.

Fi? Link? My gf uses the cell phone for emergencies only. Data only to update programs.

Bottom line is with all the junk Samsung and Sprint put on my phone, I have to car charge it daily. Rooting it, and freezing, or deleting their added, junk, cpu and battery eating software, the phone will last for days with the 3200 battery. Without that, I would be looking at a Mugen, huge...

Sprint has worked fine for me in the Bay Area. Since GF doesn't travel much, should be ok. I'm thinking my GF's bill, with her usage should be between 0 and 15 dollars a month. I'll test the phone, make sure it works, since it's a limited warranty phone. Since the S3 was a flagship at the...

Hi I'm going to give Ting a try. I'm paying 60 dollars a month for Sprint. With my use patterns, Ting says my bill should be around 23.00 a month. I just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S3 for 130 dollars from them. This is for my girlfriend that hardly ever uses her phone, and needs to upgrade from...

I've rooted my Samsung Mega 6.3. It's been a great move for the following reasons: Software that can have root access can either remove, or freeze applications I don't use, that are draining resources. Most of my data downloads are programs updating themselves, programs I would remove if I had...

Music?

Enjoyed Mr. Robot. Thank you for the suggestion.

Check that. new Model is 2.8 to 60.
