    Noob Question

    As far as I know, this should be more powerful than the 750, and it's tiny: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127794

    Dell Venue 8 Pro

    Tried over wifi, still got the same issue, though it was my neighbor's wifi, which I got permission to use, since I disconnected my home internet due to moving soon.

    Dell Venue 8 Pro

    I love this tablet, though you do have a point. I have a Nexus 4, had a Nexus 7, and I find metro to be far more user friendly and intuitive on a tablet than Android.

    Dell Venue 8 Pro

    The only changes I can think of that might impact it that I made was enabling DEP for everything. I'm also running on a connection tethered to my phone. Edit: I ran troubleshoot as admin, and it keeps fixing things. Once I reboot, it finds more things to fix. I still can't install apps...

    Dell Venue 8 Pro

    Hate to semi-necro a thread, but has anyone had trouble installing metro apps from the Windows store on their Venue Pro 8? I keep getting a variety of errors, a different one every time, usually. I tried doing a ton of googling, changing settings, resetting things, clearing the windows store...

    Kindle Fire HDX

    It may not be an ideal option for you, but why couldn't you have just waited until Cyanogenmod, or a custom ROM comes out for it? As I said, it's far from ideal to have to wait for something to be usable, but other than the software, it's a fine tablet.

    Phone tablet with full (x86) Windows compatibility?

    http://www.redmondpie.com/you-can-now-run-x86-legacy-windows-apps-on-surface-windows-rt/ As far as I know, most versions of Windows will not run on anything lacking a PCI bus, which phones do, however, you can try installing Windows 8 on an x86 phone. There are ones by Motorola & Asus, as far...

    The official Nexus 5 thread.

    Assuming you use TWRP, you can compress the backups. I have about 1.2GB on my phone, minus the music, and a backup is only about 700MB. 58% reduction in size is nothing to scoff at.

    Typical battery drain when idle for HTC One S?

    Because the OS reads the charge, and it can often be inaccurate compared to how much capacity is really left.

    Switched from Opera to Firefox, some functionality confusion

    +1 for Secure Login. It mimics Opera's Wand pretty well. You can have it set it so Ctrl+Enter fills out forms & login boxes. Though, I always keep form filling turned off in Opera & FF, so I can't help you with how to keep the form data.

    Is 1gb of RAM still enough on Android?

    If you have a powerful enough processor, having just 1GB of RAM isn't necessarily a limitation. You can use Z-RAM, if you're using a custom ROM, or custom kernel, which allows you to allocate a portion of memory as a "swap space", and it compresses said allocated memory. With the compression...

    Going to T-Mobile, which phone to get?

    You can get subsidised phones on T-Mobile. Also, I'd recommend the Nexus 4. It's still a damn good phone, and the cheapest one is $300. Though, given what you listed, I'd go for the Gakaxy S4. Samsung is slightly better about its updates, and it has a microsd slot.

    Anyone get those days when you plug in your phone to the computer and nothing happens

    When I disabled the mediascanner service through Systemtuner Pro, I noticed I lost connectivity to my phone. When I restarted the service, or ran the media scanner, it popped up on my computer just fine after I dis/reconnected my phone.

    PSA: T-Mobile's new unlimited unthrottled 4G plans have a throttle point at 5-7GB.

    You need one of the earlier radio firmwares. The latest that could do LTE was .33. Then it's a simple matter of this: http://smartphones.wonderhowto.com/how-to/enable-hidden-4g-lte-feature-your-google-nexus-4-0140450/ And you might need to change your apn.

    $70 T-Mobile Unlimited Plan

    I managed to use about 6GB in two days, and speeds did not change at all for me, so I'd have to agree with the others' sentiment.

    Installing legacy nVidia drivers in Lubuntu 12.10

    Lubuntu booted just fine, and the computer more than meets the recommended specs. It's an AthlonXP 2800+ with 1GB of RAM. Plus, Lubuntu has all of Ubuntu's repos. I just want to get a graphic driver installed, so I can use a refresh rate higher than 60HZ. 60HZ makes me nauseous. I don't...

    Installing legacy nVidia drivers in Lubuntu 12.10

    When I booted into the Lubuntu LiveCD, I don't even think it was using nouveau. The refresh rate was stuck at 60HZ, unable to change, and with me being very sensitive to such a low refresh rate, I started feeling sick after about a minute trying to use the computer. It's the IGP on an nForce2...

    Installing legacy nVidia drivers in Lubuntu 12.10

    I have an extremely old PC based on the nForce2 chipset, and I wanted to salvage it so my brother could have a PC that worked, so I installed Lubuntu 12.10. However, where I run into an issue is that I am used to OpenSuSE, it wouldn't recognise the IGP, and the refresh rate was set to 60Hz...

    HP Touchpad CM9 latest nightly is very nice

    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336 You can get the most up to date flash here. Also, +1 for Firefox. Though, I'd get the beta, as compared to the regular version.

    Wishing you a happy women's day

    There's already a mother's day. There's already a father's day. There doesn't need to be a woman's day. Mothers and fathers are FAR more important than just "women". It takes a mother and father to raise a child, and children inherit the world, not parents. ;) To celebrate this day is to do an...

    Finally got to order a 16GB Nexus 4

    They didn't do that. It said it was delivered yesterday, and I woke up about 45 minutes after they claimed it was delivered. It was either stolen in the 45 minute window, was delivered to the wrong house (I checked with my neighbors, no one saw it) or they're full of crap. There was no...

    Finally got to order a 16GB Nexus 4

    Did anyone have any problems getting their Nexus 4? UPS claims to have delivered it to my house, but I was asleep until about 45 minutes after they claimed to have delivered it, and it wasn't there.

    That looks like either a Persian, or a Somali. The long fur, and M on the forehead are typical for those two breeds. I'm leaning more towards Somali.

    Software to shrink 3TB hard drive partition?

    It's more than reliable enough. I've used it many times. Provided you meet the necessary requirements for shrinking I.e., having enough free space, you're golden. I've used it several times, and you won't find a tool much better for the job, unless you need support for filesystems aside from...

    Grub2 trashed. How to fix?

    To keep a long story short, I had a spontaneous reboot whilst under OpenSuse 12.2, using the latest KDE 4.9. When I was running yast, updating some software, it spontaneously rebooted, and it trashed Grub. Thankfully, I had PartedMagic handy, which allowed me to make it so at the very least...

    Osmand. Free. Uses OpenStreetMaps, and I find it to be a pretty good app. Definitely better than some of the ones you pay for, especially considering some of the paid for ones couldn't even find a state park where I live. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.osmand&hl=en

    Ditchin the flashy chrome for some classier opera

    Opera's problem is that it isn't Firefox. That's why the spoofing works so well. They adhere to standards more strictly than other browsers, which can also lead to issues. However, I can't use any other browser. I'm spoiled by browser suites, since I can check my email, use IRC, and many other...

    Ditchin the flashy chrome for some classier opera

    If you want to split hairs, the former CEO of Opera authored CSS, which in my mind, is very libre. Also, some must-have extensions: Tab-grouper, ExtendTube, Opera Adblock, Autopager, and Notscripts. They're all amazingly useful, powerful extensions. And I'm sure IE has far more rendering...

    What browser for a athlon xp 2000+/128mb ram computer?
