Creeper alert!!!


Also, you, like half the people I work with, are incorrectly using "granularity"
granularity - definition of granularity by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
granular - Wiktionary

not sure if this will answer your question but to manage apps hold down your home key all your current windows open will pop up you can scroll through them (including your camera) and swipe them to the side to close them.

There is a mod for finer volume control but you need to be rooted with a recovery to install it.

GTFO, I'm not having a redneck telling me how to speak English!! Granularity is a synonym of coarseness, something your boyfriend complains about of your anus....

Of low, common, or inferior quality.

a. Lacking in delicacy or refinement: coarse manners.
b. Vulgar or indecent: coarse language.
3. Consisting of large particles; not fine in texture: coarse sand.
4. Rough, especially to the touch: a coarse tweed.
wanting something to have more granularity is a perfectly acceptable/alternate way of asking for more resolution, or less coarseness or smaller steps or more linearity etc etc.

It's not so much I want the camera silent, it's just stupid loud at whatever volume you pick.

Hustler started it

I'd like to get back on topic of making Android phones more awesome and better too.

Maybe using granularity for more refinement in controls is a British thing, but it's not 'wrong'

The volume control's cleavage is too angular.

i said I hate it, not that it was wrong. you can talk about the granularity of sandpaper or fish tank rocks or milled corn if you wish.

android content: I am annoyed that both the Galaxy Nexus and Samsung Galaxy S3 are both almost good enough for me. Why no quad core in the S3 dammit?

I guess I wait for a next generation Nexus phone.

I have a dual core 1.5GHz phone, and I do not miss speed. Maybe more memory, this phone only has 32GB and no SD card slot.

On a semi-related note, my phone came with a 1500mAh charger, and charges from 10% to 100% in 70 minutes flat. Loving it.

From what I've read, there isn't much difference in speed with everyday usage for the one x, quad vs dual.

The reason we haven't received the quad, is whatever chip manufacturer makes the soc hasn't made an lte- compatible chip yet.

Anyone know why my phone (SGS2), won't adjust the earpiece volume mid call unless I move the handset away from my head until the screen lights up.

Then and only then will the volume change.

This happens on stock firmware, CM7, CM9 and MIUI.

I'm rather hesitant to bring this up again, but what the hell it's the internet.

Apple seizes on Samsung internal document as proof of mimicry -- Engadget

Page 26 on the embeded .PDF Even Samsung don't like the way the screen goes full keyboard, yet 2 more versions of the phone later and no fix
