Any help?

If he's on Boost, you're going to have a tough time finding an unlocked phone since they're a CDMA carrier (just a lot more GSM devices out there). That said;

A Nexus 4 would be a great phone for those needs. G2 would also be a good device that can be found for relatively low prices.

Sup fellas. Need some quick help. Trying to help my uncle find a new phone, I'm team iphone & literally have no clue about droids Basically he's not looking for the newest just something better than what he has now. I'm trying to price phones on craigslist and the only phone I know of is the galaxy s4.

-Doesn't want to sign a contract, he has boost now & doesn't mind staying with them. But willing to make a move on straighttalk or something if he can get an unlocked phone
-Uses phone for mostly talk. Does use casual data nothing heavy, likes to access music as well
-Says he's trying to spend $200, think I can get him to spend up to $250 for a phone that fits his needs


Any help?

Moto G 4G LTE for $220. Best bang for the buck, imo.

I was going to suggest the Moto G as well.

Repped all of y'all. Checked out the moto G & seems like all he needs. Appreciate the quick responses fellas.

flashing Android L on my Nexus 5 right now 

 

[overdoz]

So the Nexus 4 isn't going to be getting Android L? 

 

[championboyz7]

played with the g3 at work . pretty legit . 5.5 screen removable battery sd card slot which were the main things that kept me away from the g2 because it didn't have any of that . joint resolution is extra crispy

Thanks, and you're welcome.

Not sure if they do this on a prepaid plan, but it's worth looking into.

flashing Android L on my Nexus 5 right now 

OH word? I was going to wait until someone made a rom based off of it,cause I dont want to use root and I assume you need the stock bootloader but why the heck not. I hope all the apps I live and die by will still work.

Mostly interested in the battery saver mode and if I run it from full charge down will I get more time out of my phone.

It's a developer preview so you'll need to flash using ADB commands

Already saw people at XDA saying that Swiftkey constantly force closes. I wanted to try out that new google keyboard anyways

it's pretty weird using it right now to be honest

it's a big change with the new status bar and lockscreen but i think once the final version comes out it'll be awesome

So the Nexus 4 isn't going to be getting Android L? |I

is this true?

if i had to guess it'll come out later

these are just developer builds so it makes sense they are focusing on the two most recent devices the n5 and n7

People are also claiming that MMS isnt working but I was having major problems with MMS yesterday and I'm on 4.4.3, hoping it was just a random issue.

Anyone else get L? Battery life impressions?

Any word on when the G3 coming out?

Got an upgrade available and recently messed up my s4 and now I'm stuck with a back up iPhone til the g3 comes out and I hate it!

 

[rillo561]

I'll wait it out on "L", need my phone to be stable. I hope others report back, I'm curious to see how people like it.

Rumors are Verizon July 17th and end of July for the rest of the carriers but still no confirmed date.

 

[tomdiginson]

Is it possible to combine two launchers into one or take the features of one and put it into the other ? I'm tired of alternating between the two.

 

[yanky]

The wait for the G3 got me like :x

It's always those last few days that get me the most.
