Picking random reply, sort of. Well, I finally got my SD card in. I |
| 54 |
bought a 32GB one but found a good deal on a 64GB one that was really |
| 55 |
close by so I ordered it. Still waiting on the 32GB one to arrive. |
| 56 |
Anyway, I put the 64GB one in the phone when it got here yesterday. I |
| 57 |
haven't tested SSHelper or anything yet. I've only taken one picture |
| 58 |
with the phone so far. I may try to access it in a bit and at least see |
| 59 |
if I can view/download/etc that one pic. Still trying to sort out this |
| 60 |
"cloud" thingy too. I saved something to something "cloud" this morning |
| 61 |
when it popped up that I could. Let's not ask me about details tho. ROFL |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
While a couple other SD cards were giving me issues, this one worked |
| 64 |
right away. It formatted fine and all. I think a couple of my other SD |
| 65 |
cards are dead. Thing is, they work with some devices but not others. |
| 66 |
I haven't quite figured out the common factor yet. Suspect the cards |
| 67 |
have a issue tho. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
It won't let me text a image. When I had my old Razr, they gave me a |
| 70 |
really good deal on my monthly plan but I think they turned some things |
| 71 |
off to bring the price down. I have unlimited talk and text but the old |
| 72 |
Razr didn't do pics either, or at least I didn't. No internet at all. |
| 73 |
I suspect I'll have to talk to AT&T and get some things changed around a |
| 74 |
bit with my plan. May even have to upgrade plans for it to work. |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
This may take some doing. May run to the AT&T store right quick. |
| 77 |
Tomorrow's Friday and the people in that city drive like idiots on |
| 78 |
Friday. People drive like it is the Indy 500 or something and they plan |
| 79 |
to win no matter who they have to run over. |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
While I been dreading this upgrade, it has a LOT of good changes. |
| 82 |
Texting is much easier as I expected. Signal is better as well. I |
| 83 |
couldn't get a signal in my living room but can get a couple bars with |
| 84 |
the new phone. The biggest thing I don't like really, size. It is |
| 85 |
bigger, much bigger. My old Razr when closed was fairly tiny by |
| 86 |
comparison. Still, overall, it is much better than expected. |
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
As to the device linked above, I'm going to have to read up on what that |
| 89 |
does exactly. It might help but might not. One thing, I moved some |
| 90 |
apps to the SD card so I don't want to remove the card unless it is a |
| 91 |
must. That's why I want to have some way to download them to my puter. |
| 92 |
Maybe that "cloud" thingy will offer options. :/ |
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
Oh, it is Linux based too. I wonder if it is Gentoo related??? |
