glfpunk Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 garbage. there's too many top tier phones out there for much much cheaper. with the no contract plans becoming so huge now we are going to continue to see great options for not nearly as much money as we are used to seeing phones go for. Veeg has it dead on by calling it a Moto X without the nice software and the Moto X sells for half the price basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yea since I always buy stuff off Amazon and have a Kindle Fire I was interested in the phone, until I saw the AT&T contract stipulation. I was hoping they'd make a normal smart phone for normal people (ie not one that was $650) and then do lower plans like Walmart does. My current cell phone bill is $30 after taxes (I don't use a lot of data on my plan, mostly wifi), so there is no way I am going to one of the 'big' companies no matter how nice the phone is. And the phone doesn't even look that nice. So I was disappointed, I thought they were going to do something different, not just the normal "expensive phone, expensive contract" route.

Raziel Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The problem with running custom MODs, is having to go through the fuckton of trouble backing up and restoring everything when you want to upgrade. Seriously takes me 2 hours to upgrade a ROM to a new version. However, the new Quantum Mod and Kernal for S3's are fucking slick as rat shit and are way nicer on battery than the last versions. Plus this kernal version doesn't have the random reboot issues the last one had. And the new Full Stock GApps gets rid of the extra browsers/SMS apps I don't use, and put a fucking calender back in.

John Austin Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Anyone have any experience with Bang and Olufsen products? Tere are a couple of wireless speakers I'm considering getting, but I wanted to hear what my fellow DVDVR posters thought about the brand first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I got an Apple TV for Christmas. I've used it for Netflix and Youtube with no problems. Last night was the first time I tried renting a movie from iTunes: SNOWPIERCER. When i confirmed that I was renting it, I got a message that it would be 10+ hours before I could watch it. This wasn't what I was expecting, but this was the first time. So basically I figured I'd leave it downloading all night and then we could watch it today. Instead, it's still telling me it needs 3 hours this morning. Then, about half an hour later, it says that it's ready to play. But that's not a good time, so I hit "menu" to save it for later, and then when I tried to watch it tonight it was only 2/3rds finished and told me that it needed another 65 minutes. That was two hours ago. It's not a connectivity issue, because I'm watching Netflix and doing other online stuff no problem. Any ideas? This is really irritating the shit out of me.

Tabe Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 That's weird. We rented the "Walter Mitty" movie on our Apple TV and it just fired up right away. No wait, no nothing. Just like picking a movie from Netflix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I refuse to accept that you paid cash monies to watch Mitty. Twice. Once in theater, once at home. Didn't really want to pay either time but I enjoyed the movie both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It's a gimmick to reduce glare. Also reduces viewability. Buy a plasma instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 They don't even fully do that. Curve is supposed to be a "immersion" gimmick, and doesn't even do that well. You can go UHD if you want (I'd recommend waiting at least until Vizio drops theirs in the fall), but you're only getting the full benifit with the UHD players and discs. It'll be over a decade before we start getting UHD through service providers,so stick with regular HD stuff for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glfpunk Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 That's a good deal on that Nexus 7. That edge thing has to be one of the worst gimmicks I've seen on a phone. I've never held a phone and wished I had a tiny sliver on the side of it that was separate from the rest of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Looks like the new Moto X is gonna be great: http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/8/6121143/motorola-moto-x-2014-new-review I'm not surprised. I have the first Moto X and absolutely love it. Seems like the only negatives are that the camera and battery are merely average. My Moto X runs REALLY smoothly, even better than the S5 in my opinion, and that's with an older processor but due to Motorola's tweaks, they maximize the performance. I can only imagine how well the new X is gonna run with a modern processor. I don't feel the need to upgrade since my X is still performing really well and as long as it gets Android L quickly, I'll be content. But man, the new phone looks awesome and I'm sure when I know someone who gets it, I'm gonna wind up wanting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
