Does anyone have the spotify service for their evo 4g?
im planning on paying the 10$ a month for the premium service but i want to know if it is worth it.
anyone care to elaborate on their experience?
Anyone have spotify for their evo?
I tried it for a day. The service works, but didn't have the music I liked. I was able to get a refund because they also didn't include the Radio feature that was advertised very early on launch day.
Be sure they offer the music you want before paying.
I use the free service and it works well for me.
I've had it for about 1.5 years(vpn service and paypal acct setup as uk). I like the service. I find that they have stuff that rhapsody does not.
I have premium and it works over 3g but not 4g. Even when I tether my eee transformer, it stays offline when 4g is on.
I just got it. I personally love it (for now). You must have the premium subscription for the mobile app
ya im trying to pay for the premium service is it actually worth it
Love the app. Totally worth the $10/month if you listen to a lot of music on your phone.
I like it. The downsides are: you're renting music. Occasionally there are play back issues. Spotify doesn't have an intuitive way to find new music save a simple search. With millions and millions of songs on there, it would be awesome to have something like 'find similar artist'. The desktop client may have this, but I've been using it 99% mobile so I wouldn't really know.
Other then that, its the bee's knees

I work in various data centers in Miami and broward and so far all my Co workers with att and even Verizon cant make calls. I can about 90 percent of the time. I in Miami most times I am at two bars and 3g is about 500k down.
Every time I hate this phone it gives me reason to love it again. The other crazy thing is I stream audio over Bluetooth and I can walk sometimes 200 feet or more away and still clear on a cheap 3 dollar Bluetooth headset. And that with like 5000 servers and all kinds of stuff around. But there are no walls in the way so that also why.

On amazon they have a Bluetooth headset called nexxus Bluetooth and they are 3.99 and ship free ordered like 10. Now they are not the best or anything but they work and I get like five hours out of them. If you use an app like btmono you can just stream the audio to it. I use this at work all day and it is so great.
At 3.99 you really can't go wrong. I'm surprised amazon makes this so hard to find. This would be a top seller

I didn't measure exactly but first remember there are no walls to interfere and its about the length of three houses put together.
Actually just tried it now I'm at a park playing basketball and I walked well over 200 feet still playing fine. I don't know if its the phone or this headset but it works too well for 4 dollar price

I think it really was the earlier modems, and poor service. I work in a refrigerated environment so lots of metal walls. My og epic did pretty good actually. When I got my touch it did terrible. But has significantly improved sense ek02

I'm thinking of getting a SE Liveview. I want to know if it's any good as they're selling for about £20 on Play.com and to be fair it looks like a really cool accessory.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
its just 13 quid by now. but my personal experience i am telling you not to buy. i have liveview for like 3.4 months but never used it cause you need to sacrifice the battery of your phone which is already a problem.
I love it but I would by the new version Sony made much more attractive works better called live watch or some thing
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
I personally think it doesn't affect battery life too much. It does lose connection sometimes, and that can be a pain. I think there is an app to get rid of that problem though. And the new watch is called SmartWatch I think.
It's a pity I don't have the £75 for the Sony Live watch. Tar for the opinions guys.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Got mine same day as my play. Doesn't affect battery that much afaik. Connection issues have been a problem. I just shelled out a buck for liveview manager in the store. Supposed to fix connection issues. Haven't fully tested it yet but I hope it works, I love mine. Especially great because I can't always feel vibration and I can when it's on my wrist.

Sadly yes - I bought one for 20€ at amazon a month ago. Since some people even mentioned good things about the device.
But continuous disconnects made it unuseable - since it refuses to do anything with broken connection it was not more then a little weight,...
Beside the range was really short - wich also broke the connection once the phone was 3m away - and the reconnect when in range again ALWAYS failed.
Ofc i tried to get the latest FW update (last from 01.2011),... even flashed different ROMs to be sure it not the Phone....
I sent it back.
Beside this I noticed - it really not more then a gimmic --- the useability is quite low.
I haven't used the new 'smart' watch/liveview but i still have my MBW-300 Bluetooth watch, and it was a great investment. Not as many features as the Liveview by far, but still looks much better and for basic notifications/music control its awesome!
does anyone know if this can be used with other media players like beyondpod or astro podcast player?
I know it works for the stock music player....but can it take control of other aforementioned apps!
Personally waiting for this one: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android
Was to late to order one though

I think it's a terrible idea. As I've stated numerous times: Why compromise the specs to fit on your wrist when you have a full-spec device in your pocket already? Make it remotely control the other device and FULLY integrate the functions!
All that does is make me have two Android "smart" devices I have to charge every night (actually, three because I also carry a tablet).
Allways dissconected
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
It disconnects most of the time and I have had some hard time taking the watch back cover off. I even broke one of my fingernails trying to take the damn thing off !
So now it's time for me to get a Sony Smartwach
Im just wondering what kind of things do you guys do to your phones. Roms apps themes etc. Im running cm9 and want to try to find new ideas and apps to make my phone cooler and less boring. thanks in advance guys
My E4GT is pretty much information central. I do all the normal things, text, phone, data but no gaming and rarely watch movies (unless I'm trying to drain a battery lol). However my phone holds all the important information in my life, family events, bill due dates/amounts, appointments, To Do lists, Shopping Lists, car maintenance repair reminders, lists of things I want to read, research or sell, pictures of the people and animals in my life, work and personal email.
I try not to be so paperless but honestly I'd be lost without my phone.
I'd say I just found a new look that I love, I found a cm9 sense theme that looks great on this phone! Any other fun addicting games like temple run?
I use mine for several things daily. Dropbox for reading class notes for college and making transferring new modems, etc a little easier. Shopping, paying bills, calendar stuff. I use the Square app + card reader so I can accept credit cards from customers of my (very) small computer repair business. I plug my phone into my car's stereo and stream pandora when I'm driving;Google Music if I want to listen to my own stuff. I use ventrilo on my phone for some pc games that I play instead of installing an extra program on my pc. I listen to car talk every Saturday via the npr news app. Kroger app for loading coupons onto my kroger card before grocery shopping. I often stream hulu plus or netflix on my television via hdmi adapter. Weather, general news, email, xda (goes without saying), video chatting with friends /family via Skype, gps navigation...... Think that's about it for now.

I would like to start watching some movies on my note 2. I don't want to download them to my device. I was thinking of using drop box and a program which puts dvds as a file. It takes a rather long time and I would rather not want to do this every time. Is there a website or something that allows you to Stream your own movies for free?
most movies nowadays come with ultraviolet copies. if your dvds don't then try setting your computer up as an ftp server and host them yourself

if you were trying to "share" movies over your own home network, like watch movies that were on a home computer in another room, that would be easy. Stupid easy. Set your folder with movies as "shared" over the network, use something like BubbleUPnP player, or even XBMC for Android (quite a bit more complicated to set up, but Way Worth it, once you set up the library and shares) to browse and watch. (with XBMC, I woiuld set it up on the host sys, set up the libraries and metadata there for sharing over the network.)
if you are trying to "share" movies over the internet (from your home, I assume?), for you to watch when you were out at another location, well that's a hobby unto itself, and outside the scope of what you could expect here at XDA. Learning how to set up a "real" server (FTP, SMB/CIFS), takes time and (at least self-) education. People get paid to do that kind of stuff, right? Worth learning, if you have the time. But I don't have the time to even teach you the basics. There are no basics.
Not to mention most likely your bandwidth upstream from home, on most IPSs, is not very great. I wouldn't want to stream anything but standard definition vid files, And it might "kill" the internet use for anyone at home.
But for fun, here are some basic solutions and/or information for you to explore, get started. If you start to play around with networking, you'll quickly become a "computer genius" to family n friends. :

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9659/how-to-install-and-setup-windows-home-server/ (WHS is another fave, even though they dont "make" it anymore, it can still be found, and is a stupid easy way to "get started" in servers if you're comfortable in the Windows environment, I always recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to get into command line *nix kinda stuff, just wants to play around with a functional and easy way to have a server, works great, and completely instantly compatible, obviously, with any Win based PCs at home.)

I use Remote Media Center from the play store. In conjuction with remote potato server app running on your home computer to serve your media. RMC will utilize MX player to handle the video playback on your phone. (Install MX player). I've been using this setup for almost a year no problem. I've got tons of video and pictures, music I don't need to carry with me.

I downloaded this after seeing your post and have watched every new movie from 2012 I'd wanted to see but wouldn't pay $20 to go sit in a theater full of morons crunching popcorn, slurping soda, texting, talking and making my night miserable what a waste. I haven't been to a theater in 2 year's or so cause of that crap. Price is too high to go watch a movie that you miss half of from the rude idiots acting like they're sitting on their own couch and didnt just pay a small fortune to be there. I can't quite figure out why the prices have gotten so high its not like the theaters have gotten any nicer or more private. I could see a price increase if they weren't packing 200+ people in a 150'x150' room im seats where you're practically sitting on each others lap.

it's basic economics. wherein a business is not considered successful unless there is measurable Growth in profits to show to investors every year. (ie: "how can we squeeze more money from our customers while bringing production costs down/delivering less, and do it better than last year?") theaters have become the worst experience you can have for $15, hands down.
if it wasn't for IMAX, i wouldn't go to theaters at all. even then, at home i've got excellent surround sound, 55" screen. and i get to take pee breaks. and i make way better snacks than Regal. (you haven't lived until you've had my open-faced chopped steak and provolone sandwich)
and people wonder why i'm a verified, unrepentant, and proud pirate. over 700 movies in my collection, and counting. (not to mention TV seasons... and hundreds of thousands of songs...) that's why I maintain a robust server in my basement. any bit of my media collection is accessible by any terminal in the house.
call me a hypocrite if you like, but i never pirate software. and verbally slam those that do. *shrug*
Why would they have an app that allows for not so legal activity in the play store?
Questions like this is why they get pulled........ shhhhhh
