Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

I've noticed my GS3 has been very unresponsive since it updated to 4.3. Literally the day of the update is when I started to notice. There are times where I'll go to something and it takes a couple seconds for it to respond to my pressing. Especially texting. It takes a couple seconds to for it to realize I'm typing. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hey Mol,
Yea I have noticed the same thing as well, its also very clunky all over not just texting. Its operating a lot slower since I upgraded.

I had the same problem with my Skyrocket. I took advantage of Best Buy's free S4 upgrade and never looked back.

Why is my phone radio so active on my HTC One? It's sucking up insane power.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

After almost a year since I've bought it I'm having problems with my Nexus 4. In these last couple days its screen has been quite unresponsive, sometimes I need to hit power twice to use it and now I can't write o l or m using my phone vertically. I tried resetting the phone but it's still working bad. Any suggestion about what I'd do?

Contact google before your warranty is up.

Does anybody know anything about resetting the binary counter for sgh-i337? I know I can use the triangle away app. Videos on triangle away say that for my phone model I need to unlock the bootloader. I'm not sure how to do that though.

Any tips?

Head on over to the XDA Developers website. You will probably get your answer there

Took back my second Nexus 7 today. This time for a refund.
Stupid thing was stuck at the X on startup and had to wipe it.

Any suggestions for an Android tablet that, you know, actually works? Something around that same price. All I wanna do is watch my damn game streams and MLBTV comfortably.

EDIT: Also having major annoyances/issues with what I believe to be Adblock Plus or Android 4.3 update. Keep getting errors, slow loading pages, etc on Android 4.3 on my HTC One. Wifi gets funky, and my battery has been draining quite a lot due to the phone radio always being active. I'm not sure why my phone radio usage has suddenly gone haywire. I can't go more than like 10 hours on my battery anymore and that's with nowhere near the use before Android 4.3.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

This one looks a lot better because it is an actual watch, but I still don't see any points to it. You can't use your phone that is probably in your pocket? Its not like you can use them without a phone. An accessory that doesn't really add any value to a phone.

Amazon Android AppStore is giving away some nice apps for free TODAY ONLY.

There is one app you should really get that I can't recommend enough - mSecure. It's a password manager that is local or can be synced - no account needed where your passwords exist on a server.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

I 2nd the mSecure suggestion. I got it a couple years ago and has made my multiple loggin /password life much easier.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

How secure is it? I'm sick of trying to remember my passwords and I don't exactly want them written down somewhere lol

[Mabster]

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

It uses 256 bit Blowfish encryption for the stored passwords and there's no recovery options for the master password. Forget it and you're locked out completely.

You can sync between devices using the cloud or Dropbox I think but I only have it installed on my N7 which I leave at home most of the time.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

How many of you have the Moga Pro controller? I picked it up about a month ago, and I must say, it's a pretty nice controller. I only have GT Racing 2, Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 4, and Zen Pinball for it, but it works flawlessly with it.

Any of you have suggestions of other games you use with it that you enjoy. I use it with my Note 3, and it's a gaming workhorse!
