2013-10-03
hello again ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe Hindy the android authority app guy and welcome back to android authority Q&A we have a lot of great questions this week regarding gaming controllers on the galaxy s4 whether or not you should wait for the next big thing and whether or not you can buy devices with google play store credit we have that a lot more so let's get started ron asks i'm looking for a physical game controller for my galaxy s4 any recommendations the answer to this is a little complicated with root it's really easy all you have to do is pair your controller to your device using the sixaxis app without root it's a little bit more difficult some people have reported limited success with connecting a PlayStation 3 controller directly to the device and that helps it para via bluetooth without root I've added a link to the written description with more details on how you can do that best of luck Gabriel Jimenez asks will the Sony Xperia Z come to more carriers than just t-mobile unfortunately sony has a bad habit of not releasing phones in the u.s. very often in fact you can count on one hand the number of flagship devices sony has released in the US and most of those have only been for one carrier so unfortunately I don't foresee the Xperia Z making it anywhere other than t-mobile keep your fingers crossed but right now there are no rumors to suggest otherwise philip asks can i buy nexus devices with google play store credit unfortunately the answer to this question is no according to the google play Terms of Service gift cards cannot be used to purchase app subscriptions devices or other hardware I know you said it was store credit but according to every source I could find store credit is essentially a gift card and they adhere to the same kind of rules sorry for the bad news Syed asks hey android authority I was thinking about buying a new smartphone but I'm really confused because there might be better smartphones coming out soon what would you guys advise me to do unfortunately you have run into the biggest conundrum of being an Android tech nerd there is always going to be another phone right around the corner that's going to be way better than all the phones that are out right now if you're always going to wait for the next big thing to come out you're never going to upgrade your phone again because there's always a next big thing that's right about to come out my advice to you is to pick up a phone that you really like enjoy it and in a year or two when you're ready to upgrade pick up the next big thing then Luke Galloway asks one of the most popular iOS exclusive apps is the multiplayer game clash of clans do you think this game will make it to the Play Store and if so how soon there's actually been a lot of news about clash of clans on Android here lately according to sources clash of clans is currently in the beta testing stages in the google play store so we imagine that it won't be too much longer until the game is actually released I can't speculate on an exact date but I imagine the wanted out as soon as possible so I'm going to save right about a month or two once again I'm Joe Hindy the android authority app guy feel free to subscribe to our YouTube channel and if you like this video check out some of our other ones you can find the written companion along with the social media links in the video description thank you for watching and have a wonderful day
