Woww Polaroid cube, this is new to me, looks like a cool little camera to have around! Definitely looks more solid and built with quality, I wonder how tthe camera quality will be like?

 

[sonygoup]

Saw a preview on YouTube looked good but it was recompressed to a different file format but I liking might just tell my aunt buy one for me when she coming for Christmas if money flowing right

 

[Steven Ramadar]

I have gone back to flashing ROMs :grin:

 

[sonygoup]

Wanna do that on my moto g but ota updates are still key factor for me sigh

In other news tho got a pair of ear pods today from a tuner and I must say they're really nice worth it

Bro, keep it stock, until you stop receiving OTA updates, I find it just so much less stressful.
After stock updates stop rolling out, then you flash roms

Atleast thats my opinion on the matter


And the ear pods are really that good? I've never tried them before

 

[Steven Ramadar]

I hate earpods... Used my M7 headphones, I don't want any other [emoji29]

 

[sonygoup]

Aye since having an iPhone 3gs back in the day I loved there headphone and these new ones fit really good in my ears and sound better than my BB headphones!

 

[Mr.Bollywood]

No argument there, Apple does make quality headphones and the sound quality is really good as well! Better than last of the more expensive headphones out there!

 

[Steven Ramadar]

The previous earphones were better than the earpods

 

[sonygoup]

Hmm to agree with it would be hard because even on some reviews they prefered it over the ear pods but to say audio quality it really based on you,yourself and what you like to hear!

 

[Steven Ramadar]

Audio Technica and Bose is my strong hold

S4 Problems

I have recently gotten an S4 For my birthday and so far i have spotted a few problems.

1. My ringtone type cannot change from Ascending to normal. I have searched everywhere but apparently the S3 is the same as well. There is however an app to disable it but after the phone rings you always have to keep on changing it .

2. Heated Battery- Everytime you are on your phone the battery gets heated. I know it's heated when usually charging but i'm seeing a few people have problems with this as well.

3. Crop - You cannot use a whole picture to set any wallpaper ..You always have to crop half of the picture or less . Which is nuts!

4. Lock Screen- There are many problems people are having with the lock screen and they all differ.. I bought a "book casing" type for my phone. It fits perfectly and has alot of space away from the side nubs. But everytime i access my phone a black screen comes up and i have to keep on pressing my middle button and side button for 15 seconds straight to access my phone.. When my phone screen finally comes up and i swipe to unlock it, my phone turns blank again with the lock screen. It also does this while browsing the phone, playing music , typing etc.. When i removed my casing the problem stopped. ! WTF? But it never touched any buttons so idk

Re: S4 Problems

For
1) not sure about that

2) is your data on? Brightness up all the time? Screen on alot?

3) All Android phones do that... That's so it fits on the screen and when you scroll across you will see more of the picture

4) S-View case?

Re: S4 Problems

so what i've come to realise is that most android phones need to be reset right out of the box. this eliminates lots of the early onset of software issues. do a hard reset to factory settings and start fresh

Re: S4 Problems

Did that & still .... @Steven no my screen is actually dimmer than the average & my data is only on when i need to search something..I had a Galaxy Ace u to August & my crop area used to be so big i could of nearly save the picture but this doesn't even have an option to crop it vertical or horizontal

 

[Mr.Bollywood]

well Sunday is the staff meeting so if you wont mind me taking a look at it, maybe i could help out!

this could all be about software version, but you never know until you experience it for yourself!

 

[potash05]

[Steven Ramadar]

Ranges from $1000-$1700

 

[sonygoup]

Could get on for 1400 new but not local
Maybe less according to where u buy it

 

[Mr.Bollywood]

That's true, some stores have outrageous prices for year old devices!

Shop around and get prices from local stores in, you'd be amazed!
