Got tired of waiting and flashed 5.0 erasing the device in the process. I probably shouldn't have. Its not really that big of a deal now that I used it.

This N4 is a fukking masterpiece. 2 years old and it's still beasting. 5.0 has this shyt feeling as crispy as ANY 2014 phone... real shyt

I'm gonna use this shyt until it dies. And hopefully Google will drop a smaller phone in the mean time

Could you transfer files (music/movies) from your Android tablet to a portable hard drive without a pc?

Anyone want a perfect sprint HTC M8 for 250?

I have a meenova card reader that I plug into my Nexus 5 and can transfer files to and from a micro sd card

You can do the same with usb drives but I don't have the cord for it

Had to root my phone and download stick mount to do it

Would there be a cable for it?

Yes u can get one on Amazon for cheap

I forgot to mention I have a USB attachment for my meenova card read that let's me Connect it to computers via USB

So I can transfer files from my sd card to and from my phone and to and from my computer

hangouts is the shiznyee

voip calls on it have been flawless for me so far

im back to paying $30 a month for my phone bill

damn I never thought about that...I can drop down and just get data on my plan

unlimited right?

edit: saw your earlier post.

 

[Frida Giezman]

My phone is and I'm out of contract with Sprint... but I'm not really feeling their selection.

I have no idea which phone I want to go with next. I could get the GS5 for a penny on Black Friday, but I don't even really want it, cause I know they'll be dropping the 6 or at least announcing it in the Spring or something

And I'm sold on going with that big ass Nexus 6 either.

Get an unlocked phone that isn't tied to a carrier

fukk a mobile contract

Yeah man hangouts calls on WiFi or 4g lte sound great so you shouldn't have a problem

Granted I haven't had like hour long conversations on it but I don't think that would even be an issue especially over WiFi

I have to be somewhat cautious not to exceed the 5gb high speed data cap but that's only because I don't like connecting to the WiFi at my job. If I connected to the WiFi at my job I don't think I would come close to the 5gb cap

another thing that I just found out is certain music streaming services like Spotify and Pandora don't count towards your data on a prepaid t-mobile plan (t-mobile calls it music freedom or some shyt) . So if you're big on music streaming you can use one of those services and save data. I still have to confirm this but I'll let you know if it's true. Unfortunately music streamed on Google play counts toward your data

 

[Frida Giezman]

Oh and you can buy wireless refills from callingmart and save a couple of bucks

If you refill your account directly with t-mobile they charge sales tax so it'll end up costing you like $32-33 a month

When I buy pins from callingmart I pay $30.60 and you earn points towards future purchases so sometimes you'll be paying even less than that

holy shyt no wonder i never hit my cap, i never knew this

music streaming is the way to go in 2014. thank you t-mobile

what plan do you have

because some websites say music freedom is only available for simple choice plans and other says it's available for simple choice and prepaid plans

 

[Nephilim_BC]

I have tmobile and im currently on that "financed phone" plan. I bought a sim from them...i dont talk much but i do have that google number...I use that for my one night stands

Gonna have to invest into that prepaid plan if i can keep my regular number
