Essential Official Android Thread

Samsung will regret dropping that watch. Very underwhelming.

They could have had a huge jump on Apple. Google just bought that smartwatch company too?

I just need a date on that Note 10.1 and I'm good. Can't upgrade my phone till next March anyways.

So what's the Verdict on Samsung's conference.

Note 3 - I don't feel the upgrade is essential. It's kinda of a small jump like S3 to S4.
Tab 10.1 - Meh
Gear Watch -

Yea I'm definitely sticking with my Pebble smartwatch. I love it. Let's see what Google cooks up, I don't see it coming out before Glass though.

I hope Pebble can withstand the onslaught coming their way.

so .... um... a friend. of mine found an "At&t Escape"..... its an android as u guys probably know. and he is using straght talk... if you dont know as long as you have an att phone. straight talk sim cards work.

he wants to know if there is any way to track that phone. he deleted everything off it, factory reset it and said threw the sim card out right away. He has not turned it on other then to do that..... he didnt know if ATT had any special services, or if they could use the IMEI # to locate it if he uses it with his straight talk sim card.....

Hey does anyone have experience in hot spotting with Nexus 4 without paying the carrier the hotspot service? For instance, you get unlimited data and you hotspot/data share with your computer, will they make you sign up for that? T mobile for instance. If anyone has experience.

The 4.3 changed some permissions I believe. Before that I never got redirected to the hotspot page. Spent about a week looking non stop before I caved and added it to my plan. I absolutely have to tether my tablet at work.

 

[Hersh]

u don't even need a plan to tether to a tablet... just to a laptop or desktop.. and if u do.. just download user agent for chrome or ff.. then eat

 

[loki]

Any good tethering or wifi apps for a unrooted s4 on sprint?
