Just bought Galaxy Note III LTE!

Should've bought it unlocked. Oh well.

Buying an unlocked phone wouldn't have changed anything. The sole purpose of that is to set your phone up with any carrier you want. All Samsung devices (as of lately) come loaded with touchwiz..

No. Rooting allows you to have more control over your phone. Flashing ROM's/Kernels/Recovery options, adjusting CPU clock speeds, removing pre-installed system apps, etc. In order to download illegal applications, you just need to search for them. e.g. "Osmos HD.apk download". APK, if you haven't put it together, is the extension of the application installer packages.

As far as games go, I suggest Osmos HD.

As far as regular applications go, I made a thread a while back. https://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=736260
Aside from the list, I really like OfficeSuite. CameraFX Zoom is nice also.

Thank you so much for the info, I'll check it out.

Android is fine. Samsung is just annoying as fuck and pre-loads the phone with tons of bloatware and clunky-ass touchwiz...

Not mentioning the shit load of features that no one would ever use.

I bought my phone unlocked so I could get unlimited data from verizon, for 60$/month. Plus I wanted to root it so.

All the phones in my country are unlocked by default.

Playing Flappy Bird on this is practically cheating.

So you just said exactly what I said? And you can root your device no matter the carrier.

Doesn't rooting the device void the warranty?

Is the same as

Lol.

[Poxer]

Are you willing to root it?

Congratz dude have fun with it!

I don't see why you are laughing out loud.

You said: "Should've bought it unlocked. Oh well."

Implying that buying it unlocked would have ridded the phone of touchwiz and it's useless features. So that was your agument. Buying an unlocked phone solves his problem, right?

I said: "Buying an unlocked phone wouldn't have changed anything. The sole purpose of that is to set your phone up with any carrier you want. All Samsung devices (as of lately) come loaded with touchwiz.."

Then you said: "I bought my phone unlocked so I could get unlimited data from verizon, for 60$/month. Plus I wanted to root it so."

Oh, ok. So now all of the sudden you know that having an unlocked phone wouldn't have changed anything which is why you abondoned your previous theory/statement, right? You reinforce the fact that you knew this all along by stating the reason why you have an unlocked phone is because you wanted a certain carrier. You also say that having an unlocked phone/what carrier you have dictates whether or not it can be rooted, right?

Then I said: "So you just said exactly what I said? And you can root your device no matter the carrier."

It was not a word for word copy and paste. I meant that you retracted what you said and acted like you knew what you were talking about only after I clarified what having an unlocked phone meant.

99% of the phones I sold used to be iphones or samsung.

Now that the LG G2 is out, it's 90%, with 10% being G2s. They're a hell of a lot cleaner and have much better displays/battery life. Our display model lasts 5 days before it needs to be charged. Not to mention they're $49.99 after rebate and have better specs than the Galaxy s4 or Note 3 (excluding screen size) which are both $99 and $199 after rebate, respectively.

Samsung however has muuucchh better iphone-sized android phones. S4 mini is fantastic, but still somewhat bloated.

Lol.

If you're on a prepaid plan, that's 3g only. It is impossible to have 4g unlimited without being grandfathered in from alltel or an old verizon plan. And an unlocked phone simply means that you can get service on a device from any carrier with a compatible network. (IE: Unlocked GSM-only phones can't be activated on Verizon or sprint because they both use CDMA.)


And WHO THE FUCK disabled the auto-doublepost-merging plugin? That thing was so much easier.

I have a android and I like the OS but I don't like that not a lot of people post apps on it so it doesn't have all the good ones that Apple has. Otherwise it is a really good phone im sure you will like it.
