@legit-shit it is a huge screen covered in plastic. I would expect it aha. I think I'll be able to take care of my nexus with no case. I did with my iPhone 4.

You can get all apps on android for free without root. You just allow no secure sources in settings and download the apk for the app on your browser. Rooting is pretty easy though. With the nexus it will be easier because it is a developers phone. I may root mine when it comes this week.

I don't have my phone with me since I brought it back to be exchanged today, but it should be the same as adding any other widget. Long press anywhere on your home screen > add widget > choose widget

@legit-shit it is a huge screen covered in plastic. I would expect it aha. I think I'll be able to take care of my nexus with no case. I did with my iPhone 4.

For me, it's inevitable. I know I will drop it and it will crack, multiple times. When I had my Evo I brought it in to be exchanged 4 times. Then I changed cards and never told Geek Squad or whoever so they stopped charging me insurance. I went on to replace the screen twice on my own, and then crack it once more finally damaging the digitizer.. so that's how it sits now heh.

I'm just a clumsy fucker

@legit-shit you need an outterbox defender lol. My sister got her's. she loves it. It is huge but I think that I am use to my iPhone again. It will take me a little to get use to my nexus size. Probably like 2 hours.

Yeah it gets great speeds in Canada. I'm good with 16. I tend to clear out crap in my phones anyways. I have a 32gb ipad for gaming and stuff.

I'm a poor peasant but I just finally "upgraded" to 4G smartphone.

I got LG Motion 4G from MetroPCS. I like it so far. I already got Go Launcher which is fuckin way better than Ice Cream Sandwich OS imo.

Speed is just

and I've heard MetroPCS doesnt even really provide real LTE speed. However I'm just happy im fuckin over with 3G.

I'm too dumb to root so w/e. Last time I've tried I had to factory reset lololol

Im kinda in the same boat but more leaning towards the Note2 after watching a few youtube reviews and comparisons. Most likely ill get the Note2 and upgrade to the S4 if it is worth it.

C'mon son, Go Launcher is a poor choice if you're running 4.0+. Stock launcher is better, but Holo, Nova, Trebuchet, and Apex are all WAY better than Go Launcher.

As to why you can't find you 'My Files' folder, it's because there isn't one on most stock phones. I'd recommend Solid Explorer. Try that, if it can't find the sdcard0 or sdcard1 mounts, you're probably out of luck.
