Skemar is nuts

[Kurtis]

before i do this

 

i got phone insurance with Natwest

 

if i brick my phone flashing the ting, will they replace? or will they find out even if i somehow manage to wipe the fact that its been flashed?

[J. Edgar]

If its an insurance claim they won't care, it will just be a straight swap with a refurb one. Its only if you take it to Samsung that they will clock that you've flashed it with via the rom counter figures which can be easily deleted.

[Lenny]

I've never bricked a phone flashing ROMs or Kernels

Just don't do it when your battery is low, I did that once and it died mid flash

It wouldnt charge or boot because it had no ROM can't even remember how I got it running again

[Vtec]

I wanna flash my s3 and stick that Miui customisation skin on mine. Someone please send a step by step link to do it. Thanks

NYT: Samsung Galaxy S IV will tout eye-based scrolling

 

 

One of the Galaxy S III's most vaunted features was Smart Stay: when it was active, the smartphone's display would stay awake as long as its owner did. A reported Samsung insider's tip to the New York Times claims the Galaxy S IV will take that intelligent use of the camera one step further with eye-based scrolling. Theoretically, readers will never have to put finger to glass when scrolling downwards; the phone can tell when they're looking at the bottom of the page and move to the next section on its own. The hands-off scrolling is supposedly part of a strategy where the software ultimately matters more than the hardware. Chief product officer Kevin Packingham wouldn't confirm anything for the newspaper when asked, although he didn't feel the hardware will take a back seat. Either way, consider us intrigued -- as long as the software is real, and works in practice. We'll know the full story in several days.

Mobiroo intros Android subscription service for those who fear app commitment

 

 

If you've been gunning for a Spotify-like offering for Android apps, Mobiroo may be just what you're looking for. The Canadian company's offering up an on-demand service for Google's mobile operating system, letting you test the waters on hundreds of paid titles for $2.49 a month -- which is apparently half off what the service is set to go for in the future. And for a limited time, you can also snag a free seven-day trial of the punnily named All You Can App service, giving users access to apps that can run upwards of $20 and beyond, according to the site. There's a press release after the break, or just click on through to the source link below, if you'd like to give it a shot.
