  1. Re:Not as happy with CM as I could be. on Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC1 Starts To Roll Out To Devices Near You · · Score: 1

    It took me 3 hours to root and install Cyanogenmod with no prior knowledge on how to do so. I did soft brick my phone 3 times in the process though. The only thing I can think to ask is if you're using the right build. There could be a ton if different models under the same name. There are at least 6 models of the GS3.

    Have you tried using Odin yet? It was the only way I could get my T-999 S3 to take Cyanogenmod.

  5. Re:TV series episodes on the bus on How Netflix Eats the Internet · · Score: 1

    Just would like to say I have a T-Mobile unlimited plan with uncapped 4g without throttling for $55/month ($20 extra right now for the phone subsidy). I get full speed everywhere in Los Angeles, and can stream Netflix with almost no stopping for buffering. The only thing I can't do is tether, but I do it anyways and haven't had then say anything about it yet.

    Van Nuys Blvd in Van Nuys, CA (Los Angeles) is the exact same way. All the lights turn green at once for a stretch of at least 2 miles.

    So then just don't save CC details on your steam account, or just use PayPal. Im still failing to see a problem here that you are not unable to fix.

    You do have to make sure Steam saves your login info for it to work. RTFM man. Or would it be RTFKB?

    Log into computer 1, run Steam, go into offline mode. Start Steam on computer 2, start Steam with same logon info, and now you have 2 computers running with the same Steam login.

  10. Re:Current gen graphics from Ivy Bridge IGP on New Console Always-Online Requirements and You · · Score: 1

    Intel HD4000 isn't too bad for games, and neither are the new AMD APUs. Hell, my roommate is using a box built from my old parts ( AMD 965, 4GB RAM, with a new $100 7770) and it runs most modern games just fine... Well besides shitty console ports like GTA 4 where it runs all 4 cores maxed out and 15% GPU load, yet only gives 20FPS.

    Overall, probably not, but I am currently only taking the elective classes (CCNA, MS Server 2012, and CompTIA Security+ currently) towards my AS in CompSci, so that could be a bit of a reason why its more slanted that way... but my observations also include everyone in general while Im there.

    Then there is the one Surface Pro user on campus.

    Did your shill friends come in and mod you up? Besides, there is a ton of free internet radio stations out there (I actually have a premium Digitally Imported account) and TuneIn for Android is free. Hell, most Android users I know just use free apps and don't pirate.

    FRAND parents are licensed out to other people in the parent pool for a reasonable price. What parents have Apple put in the pool to make them a contributor, and thus eligible for FRAND prices? None? That's what I thought.

    Your argument is wrong. If the law was as you said, every head shop owner should be jailed for selling drug paraphernalia. You seriously think that they don't know their'water pipes' are being used to smoke marijuana?

    The whole thing about talking about kilo size was never recorded or had someone other than the person that made the accusation. There were talks about how it was 'brick sized' and the person picked up a brick to show him, but no bricks were ever found on the property. The main argument against him was BS, but the jury bought it up.

    Their visual voicemail has been available since forever for free... Or maybe it was just included in my plan. But who the hell uses that anyways? I just use GVoice for my voicemails. Sends email links to where I can listen to them directly.

  24. Re:T-mobile signed me up for a premium warranty on Another Way Carriers Screw Customers: Premium SMS 'Errors' · · Score: 1

    Yeah, everytime I've had to deal with someone in a T-Mo store, it was always a very quick stop with friendly people who were always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I was happy with my service. Sprint has screwed me pretty bad in the past, and AT&T customer service is pretty terrible when I have to deal with them for my mom's service. Verizon is well... Verizon. I'd rather go without than pay them a dime for service.

  25. I think that they just have beef with T-Mo on Another Way Carriers Screw Customers: Premium SMS 'Errors' · · Score: 1

    I can't speak for the UK, but I know that this has happened to me on a few carriers before (back when I was jumping from prepaid to prepaid). First thing I did was always call up and remove premium SMS services from my line and have them blocked when switching to a new PAYG phone. It's what you have to do when you have no idea who signed up for what with your 'new' phone number before you had it.

    That, and of every carrier I've been with, T-Mo has treated me the best, and every time I went for renewal, they always found me ways to save money off my bill based on usage. I'm paying $65/mo now for unlimited Text and 4G, with 500 minutes - Going down to $45/mo after my phone subsidy is payed off in 20 months. They have always been very up front about everything, and I've never received a bill from them with a nasty surprise. Well, I take that back, I did get one that was $75 over, they noticed it was some stupid error, and corrected the bill accordingly. Only took 1 15 minute phone call. The article is very shortsighted and just seems like they needed a sensationalist story to pull more views to their page.
