guess who just got a new 4S.  hint: it's me.

 :gocho:

I bet we could have arranged some sort of deal where I give you my 4s and get a new 5s and we both party.

I very rarely could get a signal with my HTC DNA at BSFS. With my Note 3 yesterday I had no problems at any point during the game. :dunno:

I think they have added portable towers or something. I have a Sprint 4G LTE that never got signal but this year I am good to go for some reason.

Could be, but this was the first game I had my new phone and I had no signal the other 4 home games with my old phone.

Has anyone noticed that the new ios7 is shitty on older iPhones? I've heard it's better on the new 5S, but I've got a 4S and it sucks. My phone is slower now. It also seems to make typing harder for me. A lot more misspelled words and run-ons where you think you're hitting the space bar but instead you hit one of the lower letters andvyouvendnupcwithvsomethingnlikecthisvbeforenyoucnotice. Maybe that's due to the delay? It's really annoying and pisses me off that you can't downgrade back to the older os.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

You are replacing your phone with a tablet? Interesting strategy.

It uses my Note 3 as a remote for TV, Cable Box, and Sound Bar because it has an IR transmitter built in. I can switch between TV/Box/Sound Bar in different rooms. The App also allows you to search through shows that are on by genre; I can just pick football and see which football games are on at the moment and turn to them and not have to worry about using any tv remotes.

is the watchON app also the remote app?  My kid's Tab2 has the ir transmitter but the Peels app that came with it is not great.  I will have to give this a try.

Yes, I think it will work the same:

Samsung peeps, what do you use in order to sync your Outlook calendar and contacts to your phone?  The latest android update made me start using Kies 3 which doesn't support syncing to Outlook(yet...).
