Swift key 3 is a must buy, even if it's on sale or regular price!

dont need to be rooted to get free apps.
but i buy a majority of my apps that are under 4.99 haha

Fcukedd 01-05-2013 07:51 PM

I have no idea what rooting is. I assumed it was the jailbreak for an Android. I was planning to buy my apps, but didn't know if it was worth it if I had the possibility of getting them free even if they are only a couple dollars.

Thanks for the input guys!

Edit: What apps would you guys recommend for aesthetic purposes (eg. widgetlocker, etc)? I want to make my phone unique, although I don't know where to start. And what launcher would be best to run most widgets (did I word that correctly)?

for aesthetic purposes, i use nova launcher, zooper widget, and minimal miui theme. you can see my home screen in the post your homescreen thread

Fcukedd 01-06-2013 02:50 PM

Just bought the Minimal Miui theme and Widgetlocker. Androids have so much more potential in customizing than iPhones.

Not sure what to put on my other slides...

snails 01-07-2013 09:27 AM

still no LTE on my phone, im on rogers, travel between surrey, langley, was even dt van yesterday and couldnt get it to turn on,

You need an LTE-specific SIM card.

Charging via computer will usually be slower than a wall or car charger as the amperage output is lower (500mA vs 1000/1500mA)

snails 01-07-2013 09:32 AM

^ thank you! i shall call best buy and get an upgraded sim, and ill give the wall charge a try!

BaoTurbo 01-07-2013 09:38 AM

Yea you need an LTE compatible sim

snails 01-07-2013 11:31 AM

Definitely don't bother charging via USB, super slow. Wall charge will probably take me 2 hours to get a full charge.

Is anyone else having the process "Android System" eating up a lot of battery life? Mine is second to my screen in terms of battery usage.

danny_d19 01-07-2013 05:02 PM

Charging through a computer or car stereo USB is almost useless. I've been using it while plugged in and the % will actually drop lol. Plugged into the wall charges wayyy faster

vash13 01-07-2013 05:31 PM

How about usb 3.0? I heard that the phone charges faster than usb 2.0

Doubtful. The phone has to have USB3.0 protocols to be able to draw more than the USB2.0 rated power.

I'm not on stock ROM anymore so not sure if you can change the duration but you can change the vibration intensity under Sound I think

IIRC, Google removed that functionality.

Though tbh I'm not sure of that's the cause.
