for sound quality, need to burn it for 24 (best 48) hours before i can really comment on it...

i am used to high clarity earbud (hippo)... so, if this rm50 earphone can match that, it's already pretty awesome...

but the packaging is really impressive...

at first 'glance', seem the noise isolation is pretty good.

ps: why not just read from these nice review?

If the same phone and cable work in other computer, it's probably problem with driver in the affected PC.

If you using OSX like me, you will have problem and its not because of cable or anything. This is due to toopid LG that uses non-standard subclass for composite device.

EDIT: if you just want to transfer file, without using adb, just download this:

https://www.android.com/filetransfer/

If you wanna use adb on OSX with your n4, continue...

*WARNING* root stuff, stop unless u know what u're doing...

Here is what you need to do:

1. Open terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
2. “cd /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBCompositeDriver.kext/Contents”
3. “sudo nano Info.plist” (or vi, or emacs, or whatever console editor you prefer)
4. Copy the IOUSBComposite section (from <key> to </dict>)
5. Paste the section in at line 66 (right after where it appears) so you have 2 copies in the file
6. Change the bDeviceSubClass value from 0 to 2
7. Change the key name from “IOUSBComposite” to “E960″
8. The end result should look something like this:



9. “sudo diskutil repairpermissions /” and let it finish
10. “sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions” and wait a few mins for the extension reindexing to finish
11. “adb devices” should now see your phone

Introducing another good game: Metal Slug Defense

It's like BattleCat, but with sooo many unit to choose from! Can play offline!



Oh ya, in another news, CheatEngine 6.4 has been out for some time. If you use it with Wifi previously and think it was slow, I recommend u to use the new Network Compression!

Or.. you could just use USB tethering instead of wifi for utmost speed.

PS: just completed my PvZ2 Dark Age (the map after Future). Here is the fight against Zomboss.

lol! that game. cheat engine is not much use. but it's easy to execute GM command and spawn "Wong" in town

any good game to recommend?

skipping nexus 6... 6" phone omg...

want a nexus 6, but still love 4.7" phone?

install Lollipop on your nexus 4

5.5" phone! dont want! the world is moving towards big screen on the phone!



anyway, other than size, OnePlus seem like a good phone.

anyway, anyway, we talk again after i installed the lollipop kakakakaka

Yup. I heard 3rd Nov. Not trying any "preview" stuff on my daily driver phone.

i seen people with 2 smartphones in their pocket... i was like...

"hey, the idea of a smartphone is that it is soooo smart that, you only need 1 phone to do everything..."

Flash to the Factory Image:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Avoid flashing /data to keep your App, setting and data.

the way Project Volta work is mostly conserve battery by making your phone idle as much as possible. some already report something like 30% improvement. it'd be something like, u used to charge your phone after 20 hours (example), now, you only need to charge it 26 hours (30%).

however, if u are heavy user, you should see less improvement. say, u use it continuously for 4 hours playing game. you may see very little improvement since there is really no time for the phone to be idle. it will still be better since on top of Volta, there is ART.

all in all, i am not expecting suddenly huge improvement (like double your usage) in a single charge.
