An Idea Carriers Should Use

An Idea Carriers Should Use
An Idea Carriers Should Use:

So recently this idea came to me, when I was having a bad weather alert in my area concerning tornadoes, Our phones weren't putting out near enough Cellular Broadcasts, and we use mostly Samsung Galaxy devices in my household, but our city has disabled Sirens completely and we rely on the broadcasts now. I remembered back, when I had the Moto X 1st Gen, it would give me cellular broadcasts left and right, and 99% of the time through bad weather, and was LOUD! 
Older people really need devices like this. 
I though about this.. What if carriers customers could purchase the older flagship phones, at a huge discount even if they're refurbished? This would help the carrier make money, and not scare so many customers out of a contract. I know that these carriers have so much money and so many customers that it probably will not even matter because they are giant, but at least be like Verizon, and sale the Galaxy S4 as a Pre-Paid device, and stop making these stupid little plastic cheapy phones like the Galaxy Core Prime, or the HTC Desire 510/610/512/612. 
Sell your customer a HTC One M7, or maybe even an HTC One M8, I work as a technician at a UbreakiFix and I notice the prices of these parts, and if you have a phone a customer trades in, and has a bad charging port, spend that $6, repair it, resell it at a good value to your Pre-Paid customers.

I don't know if there's any type of legalities of this, or even all the background of it, but just an idea! Tell me what you think in the comments or on Google+!

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions)

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions) I'm excited to bring you this news today, Galaxy S3 users can now download the Google Play Edition of Android (As close as you will get to it) only on USA Versions as of right now. It all started when I got inspired by the sunbeam live wallpaper (How loco?). I decided to disect a Cyanogenmod Rom, first I started with AOKP, but was not satisfied by all the more options. Options are never a bad thing, but when you start with a 4.4.2 Nightly build of AOKP, You don't know where the heck the lockscreen settings are, or in fact I don't think it added any options for the lockscreen ring. They are still working on it, the rom is pretty crystal clear, and pure right now as it is. I decided to revise. I turned to the CM10.2 version, and started to play with it, luckily I soon got all the Google Apps installed correctly with no problem, and now I'm working on a revised build of the 4.4.2 Google Play Edition. I know just...

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in The Ryzen family of AMD's processors are here, and they're great so far. So I got my hands on one finally, so this is my Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in. First Glance This is great, AMD has finally phased out the FM2 and AMD3 sockets! It has been WAY overdue, and finally a new board and alignment has hit the market. What this means is, there can be more transistors, and components put onto the chip, which means in return, better performance. It looks beautiful, in terms of it being just a component for a computer, which is just basically a cluster of a lot of components together, as one big machine!  Specs The Ryzen 7 1800X comes stock with the core clock at 3.7GHz with 8 Cores, and 16 Threads. Also including 16MB of L3 Smart Cache. The core clock can also be turbo up to 4.0GHz with an unlocked motherboard. So far so good.  Stock Performance With Cinebench R15 I got a nice scor...

HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!!

HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!! Android "L" or Lollipop, also known as 5.0 is coming soon, well that means an all new Sense is on its way too of course! If you look at the above images you can definitely see how influenced Sense 7 is by Android L. Android 5, L is basically all themed on flat, but vibrant colors. This teal is one color option, but it's very nicely displayed by HTC Sense 7. I'm for sure the HTC One M8, as well as a lot of other HTC devices will be getting this Sense 7 update in the nearing future. There is also talk on a All new HTC Desire coming soon, will it be shipped stock with Sense 7, Android 5, L? I guess its a waiting game for HTC Fanboys. HTC has been on their game here lately with the slickness, and beauty of devices. I got a chance to play around with the HTC One M8 a little bit, and have to say I liked it very much, then the iPhone 6 came out, and I wondered if they were trying to copy some of the style? Get your own style...
