Essential Official Android Thread

[HacksawJimThuggin]

I'm pretty much sold on the Oneplus One at this point.

Only thing I'm skeptical about is how fast it'll get official updates. I'm sure the CyanogenMod dev community will cook up crack, but I don't even want to bother with flashing buggy versions of Roms and shyt. Unless maybe it's more official to where Cyanogen Mod devs cook up some shyt ASAP after Google drops the official update using the source code and push it to your phone as an OTA?

looking into getting a new phone. have a beat up s3 and its been a while since ive been into the android game.

I was thinking about the nexus 5 bc i had a nexus 4 and loved it, but i feel like its a little outdated at this time. should i get something like the s5, m8, note 3, or hold out for a new crop of phones..

and I just bought a 32gb micro sd...is there any reason to cop a 64gb?

I got the N5 recently, love that shyt (had the s4) If you got an upgrade you wanna use then cop the s5 or m8. Or cop the N5 & wait for the Nexus 6 or iPhone 6...

I only paid $30 something odd dollars for a 64 GB micro sd. It didn't make much sense to buy one less than that size at that price.

It's $350 for the 64 GB version, $299 for the 16GB. Should be widely available in about a month or so and will be unlocked, so you can use it with any GSM service

OK, I'm standing in the Verizon store, after playing with the s5 and the M8 I think I'm gonna cop this S5. Very comparable phones, but in almost every statistical category that I've checked here (didn't do camera, not that important to me) I've preferred the Samsung.

Quick, brehs, am I pouring jelly on myself???

 

[winb83]

What keyboard y'all use? I got Samsung, Google, Swiftkey, and Swype.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Swiftkey is boss.

 

[Blankthawtz]

brehs i got a at&t motorola Moto X for $15...... the screen is cracked but it worksgreat no problems with the touch screen at all.

now replacing the screen is that gonma be hard ???? reading up on it i see the digitizer is connrcted to the lcd glass screen. which im reading i have to buy both of them which is like 80-100$

now the glass screen is only like 10$ witH the tools to pry it off, i was reading you can use a heat gun or a hair dryer and then get the broken glass off that way (i did this process woth an iphome 5, the back bottom housong)

i kust dont lnow if its smart to do it the cheap way or not



i also got a galaxy s3 for 20$ with a cracked scfeen and m{y friend put a new screen on there with a heat gun so if anyOne can help me with some info i would def appreciate it!!!
