I let my ARRL membership lapse because they wouldn't stop sending me renewal notices shortly after I renewed my membership, no matter how much I asked them to. They wouldn't at least wait until shortly before my renewal date.
Google+ was on my phone from the factory, without my direct consent. Because it contributes to excessive battery drain while trying to sync even when data and wifi are down, and to Google's privacy invasion, I've disabled it.
I did the same with Maps.
It's high time for Google to respect the wishes of its phone users. When they say don't do this, don't do this.
Perhaps, but my employer requires that the phone be locked. And my employer supplies phones. If they want me to be reachable after regular work hours, that's how it has to be.
I've been considering taking a phone that does only UMTS bands I & IV (ostensibly T-Mobile, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands) to Consumer Cellular, but they won't say with certainty if any date rate faster than EDGE will work.
Do you or anyone on the thread have experience with this combination?
Since you have a phone that can use AT&T data (even though you don't want), switch to Consumer Cellular, which uses the AT&T network but doesn't force you into a data plan.

We wouldn't be having this discussion if we were talking about a free (libre) OS.
Impeach Biden first. He's already violated his oath of office by promoting laws that run counter to the Constitution.
I use Windows for tax software and on my work computer because the corporate desktop is Windows.
My personal desktops/laptops run OS X.
My MythTV box runs Debian Linux. My firewall runs OpenBSD.
It's a happy state. Blizzard supports OS X very well, Thank you.
The UN recognizes that surveillance chills speech and thought, but they pass an arms treaty that chills freedom to protect oneself.
How I back it up is that Sotomayor and Kagan lied outright to Congress about their stances on Second Amendment rights.
None of these organizations have direct inward dialing?
How far behind the times are they?
Week before last a mayoral candidate here mailed pre-printed absentee ballot requests to lots of people in the city.
On postcards.
They didn't apologize.
I'll be voting for someone else.

Don't trot out this red herring. Look at homicides, not gun deaths.
Violent offenders will turn to other weapons.

According to Lucy van Pelt, snow comes up from the ground.
I would like for them to stop allowing products into the OS image that drain the battery unnecessarily. "Connection optimizers" are a prime target.
Since I don't have mod points today, I will say "mod parent up". Seriously, Feinstein should have been recalled or impeached decades ago.

It's hard to be happier.
If you like it enough to sign up, let me shill it for you and get us both a discount.
I understand. It'd be nice to have something else that's consistent between OSX and Android, in my case.
I just installed Slick RSS for Chrome and so far it looks pretty nice. It does not rely on any outside services to function.
Well, one reason could be that gun-free zones like NYC and Chicago are supposed to be crime-free.
But they're not. They're worse.
This is what happens when you patronize a phone vendor who locks the bootloader.
Don't install any bloatware and don't lock the bootloader or the SIM.
