  70. CREDO Mobile sent me a survey today, a survey asking about my satisfaction with my mobile service.
  71. I thought their records were incorrect and that they had mistakenly sent me a survey asking about my service with them despite the fact that my service isn&apos;t provided by them.
  72. I took the survey anyway, hoping for enough input boxes to tell them why I wasn&apos;t getting service through them and that their records indicating that I was in fact receiving service through them were inaccurate.
  73. Luck dealt me one better though.
  74. CREDO had not made a mistake, and was asking about my current provider as well as why I had not already switched to CREDO mobile.
  75. Not only was there no mistake to explain, they were asking for exactly the information I wanted to tell them: if they want me as a customer, they are going to need to provide prepaid <abbr title="Global System for Mobile Communications">GSM</abbr> service.
  76. Postpaid <abbr title="code division multiple access">CDMA</abbr> service simply won&apos;t do.
  77. I don&apos;t know how long I would stay with CREDO, due to their prices being much higher then their competition and their complete lack of voiceless plans, but I would try them out if they had a prepaid plan that was compatible with my GT-I9300.

  80. I found an Xposed module that adds contact group functionality to the places Google removed it from.
  81. However, there does not appear to be a license attached to the software.
  82. The source code is available, but without a license, I have no way to know how safe it is to reuse the code and thus how ethical it would be for me to even install the software.
  83. I&apos;ve <a href="https://github.com/iavael/EnableContactsGroups/issues/1">submitted an issue</a>, so maybe something will be done about it.

  86. My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
