This week Kris is answering questions about whether or not the Nexus 5 will be a slightly changed LG G2, what exactly HTC Pro certification is, whether the recent Sprint TOS changes can get you out of your contract and more!

Q:
David asks: Is there way to run Jelly Bean on the Samsung Galaxy 3 (aka. the 580)?
A:
As long as you don’t mind using a custom ROM, then yes there are plenty of ways actually. I’d suggest heading over to XDA Developers and looking in the Android Development forum for the Galaxy 3. There are quite a few options, so look around and take your time making a choice
Q:
Maris says: Hi Kris, I just read that the HTC One is now HTC Pro certified. What does this mean for HTC One users?
A:
HTC Pro certification is basically HTC’s way of saying that a company can buy a fleet of HTC Ones for their employees and that they’ll work as intended. That’s why the HTC Pro web site has a bunch of photos of guys in suits. Basically, for an individual user, this doesn’t mean a lot, but for businesses, it’s important.
Q:
Jake asks: Is there any way to completely turn off a phone without a removeable battery? For example, if it freezes?
A:
Yes, just hold down the power button and keep holding it down. It might take a while, but eventually the device should shut off.
Q:
John says: Hello, I recently read your article about the changes to the Sprint TOS and how this can get you out of your contract with Sprint, and I wanted to ask: does this pertain only to WiMAX devices, or all devices?
A:
Sprint has basically said that in their opinion the changes aren’t significant enough to just let anybody out of their contract no questions asked. That said, they have said that customers are free to discuss issues, including those related to their service, with Sprint. I’d say give it a try. It can’t hurt to ask.
Q:
Helgi James says: Hi, I have a phone that’s 2 years old and newer apps don’t work on it. Will this be fixed or should I get a new phone. If so, do you recommend anything?
A:
Well, without knowing what phone you have, it’s difficult to definitively say whether or not you’ll be getting an update, but generally with a device that old, you’re getting to the point where you probably won’t see updates anymore. I’d suggest it might be time to move on. When it comes to recommendations, that’s tough because there are so many good phones out there. I say decide what you want to spend and then just look at a bunch of reviews. By the way, Android Authority has a ton of those.
Q:
Valentine says: This might sound stupid, but do you think that the LG G2, what we’ve seen leaked anyway, might be the Nexus 5?
A:
It’s definitely possible, even likely. Last week we reported that a Korean website was saying that a Nexus 5, based on the LG G2 and running Android 5 Key Lime Pie could be coming in October. Rumors are always iffy, so I’m making no promises, but stranger things have happened.
Q:
Giovanni says: I have a Galaxy S4 and its memory is almost full. How can I transfer my music, photos and apps to my SD card?
A:
Moving your photos and music to the SD card is fairly easy. Just track down the files you want to move and copy and paste them to the SD card. For apps, just go into the Application manager in settings, select an app, and choose “Move to SD card.” Just a quick note: this requires the most recent software update for the S4, and some apps won’t allow you to move them to the SD card no matter what. Still, this should help you free up some storage

I have the G2 and it's mind blowingly Awesome.
LG G2 vs. NEXUS 5
which is better ?
I like the Nexus 5, it's speed,good price & it's look. but good camera and physical home botten are very importent to me, should I buy the nexus 5 or buy somthing more like the galaxy s4?
no
I think their saying that the LG G2 will not than likely be the blueprint for the next nexus 4/nexus 5.
Please show optimization use of s4…. on original software.. suggest apps. I avoid games. Suggest more productive apps. N other cool apps
Hey… where the answers of my questions
It took me a min, but you sound like Dr. Demento. I had a big flashback from your voice.
The Nexus 4 already has stock Android. Why in the hell would you even want a custom ROM that just adds more bloat and junk on top of the OS and looks worse as well.
Great video!!!!
LG G2 definitely isnt the nexus 5, just look at the G2 leaked video nothing like a nexus
There is MiUI rom for n4 as well.So, not so pointless.
ParanoidAndroid. It makes N4 superior
I really hope the Nexus 5 isn't based on the LG G2. I was really hoping for a decent sized phone. Not the 5.46" x 2.8" monstrosity of the LG G2.
The Nexus 4 already has stock Android. Installing a custom ROM would be pointless.
you are correct, i know alot of people who think it is fake. i know one thing for sure, even my friend also earning well monthly doing surveys and reading mails daily. if you wanna try just try now: bit.ly16PIuyD
The best spec nexus 4 had was the price. I hope they keep the price under 400. That will sell them too
Without contract
Does it worth to buy a Galaxy Note 2 or Galaxy S3 now in Singapore ?
Even Goku uses Nexus
okay i will eat android and sleep on its corps
Hey Bro…I using tasker to trigger wifi on mode however it keeps disconnecting wifi after a few minutes even if I use the wait function. ..my "say function" also stopped. ..can you point to the right direction sg2 i9100
Sony honami is the best of em!
Hi
Is it more likely that we will see Android 4.3 or 5.0? Right now, it seems split between reports of the Nexus 5 with 5.0 and the Moto X with 4.3
Gerald…….You can never go wrong with Slimbean. Most polished rom out IMO.
What is a good stable custom ROM for the Nexus 4? One that is fast,snappy,lag free and a good daily driver.
Hi Chris, I have a HTC One X, and it's still running android 4.1.1 Is there any chance it can be updated to 4.2 or even 4.3? Keep up these good video's! Wouter
Also you can set an s4 p automatically save photos to the sd card
That's coming from a current Nexus 4 owner
Honestly I'd wait for the Nexus 5 if I were you
Does moving apps to the sd card will make them run a bit laggy?
might as well get the regular s4 or htc one
