SO BLESSED FOR SO LONG. THX ALL

Define modern style apps, please.

I just inherited a Dell Venue 8 Pro. I don't get the tablet thing. Seems like my Samsung Mega works a bit better, and without Windows 8.1. Very small resolution... Hard to find things, many aren't manageable. Just don't get the whole tablet things.

Thx Chewy....

HD Tune Pro. Range is 172.7 to 198.2 MB/s.

Pretty darn good for a mechanical drive. This is noticeable from my other big drives, that run about 120 and 150 MB/sec.

Tings networks are NOT just Tmobile GSM. They also have Sprints' cdma.

My SO cut her phone bill from Verizon 75 a month, for an Iphone, to around 25 a month, for two phones, one GSM one CDMA. If one doesn't work in an area, the other generally does, so, you save 50 dollars, and have coverage on two networks, Sprint and TMobile for 25 a month. Admittedly, she almost...

Why do you think I'm with Ting now? They offer Tmobile's network, and sprint's, without the monopoly crap that has become standard for Tmob, Sprint, Verizion,and AT&T.

So does Sprint...

Hi Do some research, figure it out, and answer your own question. Don't bother reading anything in the thread before posting.

Just got off Sprint: Lost my phone number. Seems it has to be active to switch to Ting. Of course they stop you from switching if it's active, by saying you owe money, even if you've paid them extra, which I did. Had to move my phone back to 4.4.2 to get the Ting number and service to work...

Check into Google Fi with the Nexus 6. Problem with your question is recommendations should be based on your useage, and you don't have data to provide, since you don't use two of the three key factors in figuring cost. Ting offers the Tm network with a variety of phones, that can load Sim...

StraightTalk has horrible customer support, so bad, it's off the table.

Ting now works on both Sprint and Tmobile, CDMA and GSM respectively. They are really pushing Tmobile. I had TM for awhile, but find Sprint generally better for my area.

The 4TB Seagates, @ 100 looked like the best value....Any idea if the drive is any good?

Also have a look at their site for 8am, EST, for deals on phones, and, I'll be converting my Samsung Mega to Ting.

I was wrong. 9 dollar bill. Just switched her iphone 4 over to Ting, because it's GSM. Anticipate that will be the phone that goes to Europe. Ting Now has GSM on TMobile's network, and CDMA on Sprints.

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...
