Will you marry me? HAHAHA. Seriously, though, I don't like the Tapatalk notifier for Chrome. I use Chrome on Mac for everything, Picasa too. It costs $ for my Android so I didn't download it. I like the ECF mobile site as well as the ECF app.

I would marry you, but you are too good for me. I need to marry beneath myself, so she will stay.

Tapatalk is a pretty good app. The notifier sucks, but the app works really well on Android. It seems to handle images, and emoticons better, as well as showing me what's new.

Oh, since we are on the discussion... what does everyone think about the Galaxy SIII? I've been looking at it, but wondering if I should wait for the fall, and see what comes out then. I'm with Sprint, so I am hoping they get the Galaxy Note 2, or something comparable.

 

[MrPicC]

Sounds like we have a lot in common

Looks like I'll be picking one up. I did the same thing with my galaxy nexus. Waited to root until AOKP had enough cool features to make it worth switching from stock.

I've bricked my epic touch as recently as last night. Between sprint and samsung not releasing ICS let alone jelly bean I've had a ton of roms to test. All fail when it comes to battery so once again I'm sadly back to gingerbread. I bricked it trying to take a short cut installing unofficial aokp actually. Luckily me and odin are really good friends now so just a few hours wasted.

I felt the same way. Installing amazon app store gave me free money which paid for Tapatalk which i use for multiple awesome forums like this one. Or you can gasp just google a "free" apk but i firmly believe in paying for apks so I'm just saying.
Hmmn how to get back on topic...
Eric I'm so glad you're switching from sending your bouncy balls and now cute little lion erasers!

Don't wait. My buddy had an HTC One X which he loved, but the S3 came out while he was still in his 30 day window and according to him it blows the HTC out of the water. Another iPhone user successfully converted from the dark side

This one of the reasons I'm never buying anything but a nexus device from now on. I had a stable Jellybean ROM before the 4.1.1 source code even dropped from Google.

Sprint had teaser images of the note on its website months ago but still doesnt actually have the device. Sad imo as its the best samsung device not counting the s3.. I don't know really it's a matter of if sprint can really come thru and make up for its wimax catastrophe with LTE. Depends on how much it spreads to actually take advantage of the s3 and its speed. Personally after the cluster ...... that is the epic touch and it's lack of ICS love 9 months after announcement I'll never buy another Samsung device. Hoping the next nexus isn't Samsung made.

Which is why i bought my girl a nexus7. She's only all iphone because i was for 3 years slowly i made her buy me a revue when i hated my apple tv but funny enough once apple tv was jail broken and running plex it was superior

ICS is out for the Epic 4G Touch. I'm running it on mine. Since mine was rooted, I did have to download it from XDA, but it was pretty easy to install.

It was a long wait, but ICS came out about 2 weeks ago. Samsung was a little late to the game themselves, so I blame both Sprint and Samsung. It's one of the reasons why I didn't run out and get the SIII yet. I did have it in my hand about 5 times already, and each time I just kept looking at how heavily modified it was. It's only going to make the delay worse.

 

[MrPicC]

I as well as 3 other friends using it have yet to receive the update and the manual way to install was done but its piss poor IMO. The device is too buggy and battery has gone to hell. Blazer ROM is the only ROM I'll run and even phantom blazer which is just ff18 ICS isn't worth my issues. Oh and thanks to sprint I seem to roam everywhere and i freaking live in NYC... so not happy with them.

Yeah I'm a bit of an android geek. I've got a Galaxy Nexus, too, but I have an iPad that I got heavily discounted through my employer. I'm so sick of it (the limitations of iOS make me crazy) that I'm probably going to sell it and get a Nexus 7. I've heard nothing but good things so far.

Im an android geek myself! I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (Still waiting for my ICS update ) and on Wednesday I am switching to Verizon and I am 99% sure I am gonna get the Samsung Galaxy S3. Do you like your Nexus?

I will let you know how it is on Wednesday!

 

[MrPicC]

So what would be the next logical step up from a twist? Ovale isn't much so whats next in the same price range?

If you want to go a little higher, the 18650 VV Gripper from Smoktech is pretty awesome!

 

[MrPicC]

Well I'm thinking I'm really done smoking for a while. Planning on asking for a provari(it's the most expensive thing i know, not based on knowledge or anything) or something simalar for Christmas but yeah lemme look that up now.

LD, I've had the S3 on VZ since it came out. I know locked bootloader, but otb the thing is pretty epic. I am currently rooted running a detoxed ICS rom, but when I was running CM10 on it, it was just not ready for a daily driver. Too many things not compatible. The lock down doesn't bother me to an extent (I hate VZ for this) but the phone is the best smartphone I've had to date. My history is a bit limited to Win CE up to 6.5 then I switched to the original Droid, then the Thunderbolt, and now the S3, but it's a work horse. If you wait til Q4 I'm sure there'll be something even more epic to come out, so you have to bite when you actually want something. Will it be outdated in 6 months, yes, but that's why I rotate the phones on my account. I have 4 phones and they all expire 6 months of each other. So about every 6 months, if there's a phone that catches my attention, I jump on it and if I don't like, 6 months later I pass of to the wife or the kids. They always think it's the hotness as all of my phones never run stock, so to each their own...my $0.02

Oh, and what do you guys think. I am gonna drop some $$$ for a PV but am torn between the GGTS and the Provari Mini (with extension). I like the Pro for the obvious super tech reasons, but love the way the GGTS looks, especially with my recent Penelope purchase, but are there any other mods anyone would recommend over these? Please don't start a hate war or Provari lovers vs GG lovers. I know the specs of these devices up and down, but mainly looking to see if anyone has spotted any OTHER mods that are equally nice in their own regard.

Thanks.

I love it. I'd never buy anything but a Nexus device from now on. I loved my Incredible, but being on the cutting edge with the firmware is just awesome.

Well, DV is going to be carrying the VMax soon from what I hear, and it's pretty comparable (many say better) to the ProVari.

Thanks...I guess I missed that, sounds exactly like it to an extent. That may be a viable option. Then I could afford the VMax and the GGTS...sounds like a plan if I can get a GGTS that is. Great feedback.

 

[txtumbleweed]

The Vmax will be my next PV being as I have a Gripper on the way.

My first PDA Phone was PocketPC 2003, I think. I've had one ever since. I went Android with 2.0, so I missed the 1.6 issues. I had the Palm Pre (which was a decent OS)... I have the 32GB Touchpad, that I forgot to list earlier. I have had many Android phones. 3 were Samsung, and a few HTC also. HTC was always a good phone, until my last one (EVO 3D). The EVO was garbage. But, their latest is a pretty nice little phone, as is the Galaxy SIII. I am just not sure if the newer phones are enough of an upgrade, for me to take the plunge. I've always upgraded every 6 months, but I've been trying to cut back to every year. I keep thinking that if I just wait another month, I could probably gain about 6 months of upgrade time.

Oh, and the VMax is a pretty decent unit. It uses PWM, so it hits pretty hard, but it is still a nice PV. Eric has a great price on it right now, and it may be a bit more affordable than the ProVari.
