I got it two years ago, currently have the 8.9 HDX but the 7 is really nice. Still great to use now. Feel free to sideload the majority of the major social media apps. Main/obvious drawback is no solid access to Google play without rooting. That only effects apps that require Google play to be installed. Overall a superb device

My GPS is never on unless I'm using it. What are the benefits of keeping it on?

Thanks, I've been reading more while I wait for the device. Can't wait to start tinkering. Seems like a good deal.

took the screen protector off of my note 4, just going 100% natural now. Might cop a case and a Steelie car mount tomorrow. don't want to stick the button on the back of the actual phone.

Apparantly I have too much **** on my phone. Been messing around with my G3 for the last 30 minutes and can't remember how to put the current outside temperature in the statusbar?

That's not bad. Wonder why chrome is the biggest battery eater over the screen

Finally got my battery to last over 3hr screen time. Turning off the GPS did the trick

But it seems google is constantly using your gps without you knowing it. For example google now can tell how you many miles you walked in a certain month. Physically turning off the gps is better than leaving it on in the background
