in the Article: Apple's "Find My" Network Officially Open to Third-Party Devices forum

While this is all good and fine. Wouldn't using someone else's phone without their permission be wrong? It will use data from the iPhone that located the missing device and the iPhone will connect to the missing item via bluetooth without that iPhone owners permission. Doesn't that go against one of apples main ethos? Privacy??

Yeah, Good luck California. Apparently 49 other states, T-Mobile, Sprint, SoftBank, Deutsche Telekom, FCC, SEC, DOJ and God knows whatever regulatory commissions I missed think otherwise. Anyway isn't Covid 19 more important then this????

I knew this was coming, but I thought it was a April Fools prank at first. I know the merger was coming. I just didn't expect it to be announced on April 1st. But I am glad to know that sad, sad, sad excuse for a carrier is going away.

This comes as no surprise. AT&T did this back when 4G became a hot word. They had 4G LTE phones which were on LTE and 4G phones that ran on HSPA+.

You risk that with every merger. That's why you have stipulations that must be followed.

I have the original ZMAX and it is a good midrange phone. But what gets me is that it is the same phone, except the screen is smaller, Battery is smaller, it comes with Android 5.1 and it is on AT&T and Tracfone. Why isbt goibg to be on MetroPCS? Doesnt make sense not have the successor on the same carrier the original came out on. There is no point to buying the successor. I have mine carrier unlocked, ...

Sounds like more of a downgrade the a upgrade. Smaller screen and the rest of the specs are the same.

While I am aware that you could most likely pound a nail into a 2X4 with this phone. Don't expect great performance. It is has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210. It's specs for ruggedness are great. But I would look somewhere else if you want decent performance.

Google is NOT Microsoft! You also have Apple (Which is a monolith unto it's self), BlackBerry (Who was the king of Smartphones at one point), Microsoft who is King of the Desktop's. The EU needs to worry about there internal issues, like fixing Greece. Which is more important then a damned OS.

Difference between 1st and 2nd Generation Moto G
Nov 18, 2014, 10:39 AM
in the Motorola Moto G (GSM, 2nd gen.) forum

I don't really see any compelling reason to upgrade to a 2nd gen Moto G. CPU is pretty much the same, 3MP more on main camera isn't compelling enough, Storage space is the same and the only thing that I could appreciate more is the ability to use a SD Card. If Lenovo continues the the Moto X and G line I hope the next version has more features to compel me to upgrade. If not. Then I don't ...

First smart thing Sprint has done in a long while. That and I think they are preparing when the FCC, FTC, DOJ, SEC and a few other agencies deny the T-Mobile merger.

in the Article: T-Mobile Wants $1B Break-Up Fee If Sprint Deal Fails forum

I don't see this going through for a few reasons. 1. The oversight agencies of this government don't want to risk losing competitiveness. By Sprint buying T-Mobile they will also acquire MetroPCS. So in one action they would remove two Carriers. T-Mobile being a actual carrier and MetroPCS being a MVNO owned by T-Mobile. Removing 2 competitors would limit customer options. 2. I suspect that Verizon and AT&T will start lawsuits about how this could impact customer choice. 3. Sprint is only ...

Even though iDEN is gone... on Sprint, it makes a decent 2 way

Even though iDEN is gone on the Sprint network, this phone makes a decent 2 way walkie talkie. Off network direct connect thankfully doesn't require a cellular connection. At least it isn't a total waste of money.

in the Article: Next Windows Phone Will Support Cheaper Phones forum

I like what I am seeing so far. Loosening the reigns a bit is not a bad thing. Allowing more hardware options will attract more hardware manufacturers and allow the price point to be lower allowing Windows Phone to compete more readily with Android. Now the question that begs to be asked. Will it work? Will it attract more manufacturers? Time will tell.

Re: Those speeds tho

I guarantee those speeds will go down when more people start using LTE with T-Mobile and more MetroPCS user start getting T-Mobile compatible phones. If T-Mobile can keep the speeds up, then and only then will they earn those braggings rights. Time will tell.

128-bit is not coming anytime soon. Currently the main advantage.to 64-bit processors is the elimination of the 4GB Barrier. On PC's that is working great. However on smartphones we are just now coming close to that with the just announced. Samsung Galaxy J which has 3GB of ram and talks of the S5 and Note 4 having 4GB of ram. 64-bit will allow up to 16 exabyte which translates to 16 Billion Gigabytes. and also all high end Android. smartphones use 32-bit ...

in the Article: NTIA Petitions FCC to Mandate that Carriers Unlock Phones forum

The only reason a phone works like crap on an other network is simple. Frequency, if you have a TMobile Galaxy S2, 3, 4 on AT&T you aren't going to use the full potential of that phone. TMobile HSPA+, HSPDA, HSDPA and LTE run on different frequencies then AT&T. And the same is somewhat true of VZW and Sprint.

I agree as well. The more choices people have the better the field may be. As of right this moment the only Mobile OS's that seem to have everyone's attention is Android and iOS, however you have Windows Phone, QNX bases Blackberry OS 10, Firefox OS, Tinzen (which is making serious waves in South Korea) and Ubuntu OS which is making slow progress. There are choices you just need to dig. But I agree with having more choices then just two. ...

Yes, the new Blackberries to have some sweet hardware, hand down. But just because you have the better hardware doesn't mean you are going to use it well. Agreed. Profitability with BB has been based on its uniqueness and its ability to do what other platforms can not. The ONLY thing that Blackberry can do natively that other can is use BES and BBM. Since then Android, iPhone, Windows Phone have gained dominance over businesses when it comes to corporate ...

However, unlike Windows Phone , Android is a proven platform that is insanely popular. While Android may not be the save all OS, it sure as hell seems to be at this juncture. And on top of it it is IMHO better then WP7 & 8.

No, you are correct about Blackberry pulling out of this hole they put themselves in. However for them to survive they will need to shine better then Samsung, HTC, Motorola, LG, Sony and even ZTE and Huawei. Can they do it, I believe they can. But they will need to devote every ounce of energy and creativeness to do such that.

in the Article: BlackBerry to Explore Strategic Alternatives forum

As much as I hate to admit it, Blackberry lost its foot hold on the market by staying stagnant, when iPhone and Android landed they stayed complacent by staying with their Java based OS on very under powered hardware. And in the time it took for them to bring out modern looking smart phones, you have had the rise of Android as the dominant OS (not looking for a Android vs iPhone vs Windows Phone vs whatever else contest), ...
