Roll Call - Android edition
- May 28, 2012 7:01 pm GMT
Hey guys i think its ideal to have a roll call here, just for random talks and discussion which don't seem fir for anywhere else.
I just wanna shout out that Telstra have finally announced our HTC One XL so ill be getting it on 6th of july and it comes with a free $279 beats solo headset.
Also luckily for us our One XL has 32gb of storage compared to the US 16gb so i can't wait till i get my hands on it... Finally!!!!!
Feel free discuss anything you wish but keep it friendly.

- May 29, 2012 7:53 am GMTThinking about trying to convince my mom to let me use her upgrade so that I can get an Evo 4G LTE.. I'm not due again until next October, and I'm leaving for college in August, which is right around when she gets her upgrade.
If not, I'm considering paying full retail price for it. I want it.

- May 30, 2012 1:09 pm GMTYeah, it sucks in the places that matter most to me: home and school. Thankfully at home I have decent connection speed through Wi-Fi, and my school offers Wi-Fi, although it is firewalled so I can't access many sites. Most other places I'm fine with service though. Still not too fast, but usable for most situations. I'm hoping Sprint's planned rollout for better 3G service goes well in my area, and that I'll be able to get LTE in Maryland when I head off to college.

- May 31, 2012 5:25 pm GMTI held the galaxy s 3 and it actually feels and looks nicer than the photo's made me believe, it felt surprisingly durable... while it looks and feels nice, it doesn't have that special feel that the one x has.

I thought my Galaxy Note was dying an early death as its battery wasn't lasting half a day. It turns out a battery monitoring app I purchased was actually the problem!
The culprit is called "Battery" by Macropinch. It's too bad as it was an awesome app.

- Jun 8, 2012 3:53 pm GMTAndroid handles battery better than any task killer or battery management system. ICS gives detailed info on exactly what drains your battery. For example the One XL indicates 48% of my drain is originating from my screen alone. -_-' damn you 720p display being so damn awesome.... i'm sure your galaxy note suffers the same issue. Your screen is gargantuan.

- Jun 14, 2012 8:59 am GMTPurchased an Xperia Play a few weeks ago. Love it as a gaming platform. Kind of disappointed Sony canceled the ICS update for the phone, but I use it mainly for gaming and of course calls and texting, so I don't really mind.

- Jun 14, 2012 4:54 pm GMTI know the sony tablet s still has a poor range, its as if Sony advertised for that specific reason, then disbanded its commitment to provide more. Best game on store was wild arms.

The Xperia Play marketplace is accessible but limited at my location again. That marketplace contains android games custom made to use the Xperia Play control pad. It doesn't matter either way. The phone's an emulation machine and I'm using it for legal emulation of games.

In both cases when I purchased my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Note, I was told ICS is just around the corner. However, there's still no news about its official release and people who are upgrading on their own are claiming their device is lagging bad. If the official release isn't out soon and doesn't work well, it'll no doubt further segment the Android OS market.

[/QUOTE] Galaxy Note ICS should be out soon apparently samsung are nearly done with the update and will hand it to vodafone locally in the near future, but the stupid Tab 7.7 was indefinitely delayed. Darn thing is still the best tablet available on android IMO.I suppose the launch of the galaxy s 3 has been holding them back- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

It continues to appal me how samsung handles the updates, a company making billions surely can deploy more resources to have their products updated faster.

Welcome to the club. I have given up on updates for my old Galaxy SL. I got a Galaxy Tab, thinking it was more popular so it would get updates, but then they shot me down by saying they won't update it. If they didn't make quality phones, I would ditch them already[QUOTE="Gambler_3"]It continues to appal me how samsung handles the updates, a company making billions surely can deploy more resources to have their products updated faster. :|
