OK I think I found it. It is indeed called "AB Browser for Android". I'll give it a try.

The charging port on my note 3 had some serious play in it until the point where USB cables simply wouldn't work. Did some digging and replacing the charging port was pretty easy and only cost 15 dollars or so. So nice, and oddly I think it fixed the charging issue I had with the phone losing battery even when I had it charging.

Well, if you've already ordered it, it's a bit late now to look for reviews or information about it.

This question is hard to explain but easy to understand.

I'm driving from point A to B and notice I'm low on gas. I type gas in to my GPS and it gives me 2 gas stations. One is 8 miles away, one is 9 miles away. 8 mile away gas station is 8 miles out of the way, 9 mile one is 9 miles in the exact direction I'm headed (say, right off the next exit)

Is there a way in Google Maps to do something like "sort by destinations closest to route" or something? This would be very handy for all sorts of things I do.

duh. there's an app, too. It works, okay. I wish it automatically displayed additional time to route and business hours, and I'm not paying $1 to have it automatically link in to Google Maps but I guess programmers gotta eat too

Anyone had this happen before? My Note 4 was at 30% today, charged it up to 60% or so, dropped it to 30% again, up to 60% again. Then I was using it, it showed around 40%... then turned itself off/died. When I turned it back on it said it was at 0%, and it's now slowly building up from 1%. This is disconcerting.

Edit: The battery screen shows the Up/Down, Up/Down graph, then a complete wall down to 0%.

He's not looking for distance he's looking for waypoints

My isp provide some android box and it s subpar , i would get the google one to at least get proper support , unlike phone i doubt most will have a decent community to do custom stuff and compensate terrible support from the manufacturer

Sorry its an MXV box, Kodi streams work. But when I try to sign into Skype, Netflix or YouTube it's says its unable to and to check the mobile network. Its verison 4.4.2 and when I try to update the OTA message comes up.

Most likely a problem with your dns or gateway if you can access your lan but not internet. If you cannot access your lan check that you are properly connected to Internet. Check if your dhcp gave a proper ip to your Android box

He's saying Kodi works which means he has Internet connection.

Kodi doesn't require Internet to work. I can stream stuff from my nas while my Internet is down

That makes sense. I'm going to get a patch cable and try to connect through Ethernet.

Depends on how much lip there is around the face that would hit before the glass did on smooth surfaces like floors.

If I has a raised edge then it has decent protection for the screen during drops on flat surfaces.

Short of using a flip case, screen protectors of any kind won't do anything to protect a screen during an impact if it lands wrong like on a corner, which you seem to want protection in.

Fwiw I wouldn't worry about it, my three samsungs have only ever bounced when dropped on the pavement, never broken a screen yet.
