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.

Tesla insane mode: 691 horse. 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=tesla+insane+button+video&FORM=VIRE5#view=detail&mid=9C520ACD31BF1806AAE29C520ACD31BF1806AAE2

Yes, the cage was run into the front of the car, and used to mount the suspension and shocks, to, ala Nascar coil over shocks. Same with the rear end. The guy building the cage was really good. You had to really look to notice it, and it was NOT in the way.

Merc: I had similar search issues, where programs that were easy to find in 7 or 8 were very difficult to get to in 10. Changing the desktop background was a real pain as well. Hence, 10 no longer.

It's only a 5.5" screen. Mine is 6.3" and uses an otter case. Don't currently see a reason to get a smaller phone. Don't carry it around the house like a normal phone.

I don't like 10. 8.1 is enough of a pain to find simple things like background, etc. 10 seems to add another layer of searching, much like Vista did from XP. 7 to 11 for me...

One Plus 2?

Everytime I try and install the updates for 7, 10 starts downloading. Going to try it on the Dell first.

Oddly enough the Dell downstairs does not show as eligible for being upgraded to 10. I might try it on that...

Wait time on a call is 310 minutes. Chat isn't working. Sounds like I'm not the only one that is lit up.;-)

Yes, noticed the slow connection to updates. I finally got into MSFT, and then checked the updates for 7. I hit the button to download updates, and I start downloading Windows 10. I hit cancel. Go back. Windows 10 is not checked. So far, I'm unable to download updates. It auto downloads 10, even...

CHEATING;-)

I want to see your speedtest results.;-)

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4529382406 I wanted to check my connection speed and the above is what I got. We are currently paying for a package they no longer offer, which was 105mbps. Affordable 180 mbps is a bit of a shocker.
