Racism n racist jokes are hilarious....well the jokes r funny

Too bad people take racism seriously n we have radicals

Not calling u racist, i'm more light hearted than u think

Only race I truly dislike is my own for obvious reasons

Okay, I believe that was sincere, and that's a start. So, moving forward, let's both keep this particular exchange in mind .

Now, back on topic. A neighbor kid recently bought the LG G3, but he got locked into a contract and got the thing disconnected (read the fine print, boys). The phone goes for like $600, and it was like brand new. So I took a chance and bought it off the kid for a hundred bucks. It took a little doing, but I finally found a small cellular store in the mid-Bronx willing to "unlock" it.

He charged me fifty bucks to do it, then he put in a T-Mobile prepaid sim. $80 a month for unlimited talk, text, and data. I never had an android phone before (although I have an ASUS tablet), and my iPhone is still my "go-to" phone for now. But this LG G3 is a helluva phone. My only beef is that it's a little too big.

The LG G4 came out this week. And according to most articles, it blows the iPhone 6 away. Not that it will change anyone's mind. Because most tech geeks are as extreme in their position (Android vs iOS) as some political types are in theirs (Left vs Right).

Thanks, Pizza

I'm two generations behind when it comes to owning phones,tvs and computers but I do like to know about latest tech products.

So..I may get this G4...as the next president is being inaugurated.

Interesting point about tech geeks, you'd think that they'd be more "practical" and objective when it comes to products but the ones I know are alligned with either team Samsung or team iPhone...nothing else exists.

I have iPhones but not at all a team guy or give a rats ass for Apple or any other company, I think they just made it easier for all the devices to Jive.

My phones and ipad sync with my computer, they update and share all the info or contacts / content , very convenient for work and play.

I am sure the others do that too.

@DP,

Good point about convenience and ease. I was just saying that when I ask my designated tech friends questions about products, unless it's Samsung or Apple they won't even give me advice or opinion of the specs/features.

What's the consensus on phone insurance? Scam or no scam?

Yeah , I can see that.

Have had iPhones for years, maybe Ten years or so and never had the insurance.

Not sure if it's a scam but I just figured it was not for me and would just get another or reconnect one of my old ones if I unfortunatly lost or broke it.

Scam. I had insurance against theft and my phone got stolen. I had to prove it got stolen, by sending the insurance company paperwork from the police. Even after that it wasn't enough to get my money back. Apparently the circumstances in which my phone was stolen was not a reason for them to refund my phone. Waste of paying a year of insurance.

I agree. I was just asking to see what everyone else thought. To me, it's on par with car rental insurance.

The big four here in the U.S. (Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T) all charge roughly $14 a month for coverage. Now, if you take a two-year contract, that's an extra $336 right there. Plus, there's a deductible.

I'd rather invest thirty or forty bucks into a high-quality case and take my chances. And if you LOSE your phone, then, I'm sorry, but that's on you .

I still have my G2 until February and I will think long and hard between Samsung and the new LG. Even my G2 can smoke most current phones and the knock knock feature has flat out made me lazy

Agreed 100%! I bought an Otter Box for my G2 (which sucked) and I have since bought a Trident for it that works 100x better. I'd much rather spend the money on a great case than to drop my phone and break it. My nephew can't keep a decent phone because "he doesn't like the case" and of course he needs a new phone now and mine is 2 years old and looks almost brand new because it went into a case right away.

Nowadays you also have those glass screenprotectors. If you dont like a case you can always use them. They atleast prevent most of the damage on your screen and arent that expensive either.

I bought that iPhone case protector for my phone, see my previous post on here. That case is TOUGH. Yesterday, I went to one of those kid jumpy places, had my phone clipped to my shorts. Jumped up and down then played dodge ball. Did that for an hour..the clip stayed in place the whole time. Forget about insurance just get one of those Pelican cases.

I have an Iphone 5 and I too bought a case for it as well as a screen protector. Can't say my phone has been bounced around or fallen much but it has happened. I haven't had any problems at all.

I thought I'd miss a landline but am not sorry at all that I got rid of it.




TIS

TIS That's good to know about the landline. I really should get rid of mine too.

Hope you are having a nice day! It cooled down a little today.

Glad it's cooled down somewhere! 95 w/110 heat index here. It's freaking hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not think I can name one person I know or want to talk to that calls my landline these days.

I should loose that thing also.

During and after Sandy....my landline worked....cellphone didn't.

I was the opposite.......

The land line is hooked in with our Electric and network provider, sooooooo.....

House Ran on a Generator for over a Week.

Woh, that sucked.

Question: On these newer phones that feature fingerprint scanners, do you HAVE TO enable the feature?

I'm not worried about anything, I just find it to be an incredible invasion of my privacy. I'm fine with a four or five digit pin code.

I'm sorry to break the news to you but you HAVE TO put 1 fingerprint and 1 toe print. Isn't that ridiculous?










Giggle giggle giggle Ha ha no you do NOT HAVE TO put in a fingerprint. You can even put one in and then delete it later if you want. You have options.

You really had me going there .

My first plan was NOT to include the REAL ANSWER until a few posts later just to trick you and keep you going. Then I thought that would be too mean of me. Plus you are in such a good mood I didn't want to make you cranky lol

Who knows with Apple products.

No Sir, this option needs to be initiated.

I do not think I would input the source needed for the option of this technology as well.

I do not use Skype for almost the same Security reasons also.

I cannot believe I forgot to mention the cleaning cloth you MUST have for your iphone or any device. They are microfiber cloths that clean the screen so well, like magic. I bought a 3 pack at Bed Bath and Beyond. I am so anal when it comes to a clean phone screen so I promise you won't be disappointed with these cloths.


Edit: Here is link to cloths

I have the 6 and love the damn thing, since i also have an Ipad, it made no sense to get the Plus.

I did not update my iPhone did you? My husband did and his phone has problems. What he said is that he updated while connected to wifi which was a mistake. He should have kept his cellular data connected. He turned it off. This is what caused his phone problems. Now he cannot use the apps he downloaded and can only use his phone while connected to wifi. Hope that makes sense.

There is a patch coming out soon.

Did anyone have problems with the latest update?
