Forgive me, Android GAF.
Droid Maxx's chances of Android 5.0? I went back to look at the chances of some Droid phones - Droid X, Droid X2, etc. For Android 4.0, and Moto was pretty much like "yeah, these phones aren't a good fit for it." It doesn't seem like many Droid phones get many upgrades at all. So would it be reasonable to expect that Droid Maxx doesn't get 5.0, despite being a Moto X in different clothing?

Google owns Moto, so I imagine it'll at least get KLP.
I'd just get an X though. Will probably get updates quicker.

Yeah, but I own an Xperia Play!
And good Moto X doesn't come out until later (damn you AT&T).
EDIT: Wait, I just realized that this is relatively positive. So long as it gets the update, I'm cool. Thanks for your assistance!

Sony seems like they are serious with the Xperia Z Ultra. I guess we'll see when that one is released.
But yeah, the stylus and custom software is what makes the Galaxy Fucking Note what it is. Everything else is just a big phone.

Faceless' impotent crusade against the X is almost endearing.

ZU has a lot of similar software with special pen input parts just like the Note series. It's the first competitor to the Note series which actually competes with it rather than being a big phone. Plus the screen is absolutely fantastic. It's out already in China and other parts of Asia.
You really need a new phone.

Lmfao, that's what I'm saying
Worse yet, it's a Verizon Xperia Play, bootloader locked down. So I can't even flash any cool ROMs or kernels. I've essentially decided that I'll probably just get a Droid Maxx, after some hands-ons and Andrex's belief that it'll get 5.0. Pretty close to stock Android anywho. And comes with a six-month subscription to Google Play Music Unlimited (or whatever that's called). Plus the battery and 32GB, and the other features... it should do quite well. Oh, and then there's the uniqueness factor.
Apple had it right, big phones are dangerous.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
GNote III to run 4.3 out of the box.

Got an Xperia SP from work. It's a nice little device, not as slick as the ZL which has 4.2.2 plus it still has the grey notification bar and software buttons. Sony need fix that shit ASAP. I figure I must have won the screen lottery because blacks are really good and viewing angles are acceptable. Otherwise I'm looking forward to 4.3, but work said it might take a while because they receive the software and then customise it before rolling it out to our phones. Something to do with security and tracking.

Was going to pick up a Nexus 4 by the end of the month, is there anything else coming soon that I might want to wait for?
Vyse The Legend

Soon? Not really. Nexus 5 is in Oct/Nov most likely.
Nexus 4 (2013) model
and/or
Moto X (Google Play edition)
There could be a Nexus 4 (made by Moto at a 4+" screen size) and a Nexus 5 (made by LG - 5+" based on their G2 phone).
But that's a few months away (2-3 months).

Thanks. Will just grab one then as aside from battery it pretty much ticks the boxes.

Nexus 5, Xperia i1, iPhone 5S, Galaxy S4 Advance, HTC One Max, Xperia Z Ultra.
Those are the phones not currently out that will be worth looking at in September/October.

Hmm, so Verizon is getting the Moto Maker but just later than ATT is. Was this known? I was under the impression that Moto Maker was going to be ATT exclusive altogether, not just timed.
Vyse The Legend

They said timed exclusive since day one.
It's coming around November to the other carriers.
are you having wifi issues? I've heard many complains about that
So faceless is telling me to keep my gnex after all of this. got it.

Not so far, it's not as good as my ZL but it's not terrible. Someone who has had it for a while at work said to tick the "don't use shot connections" box which makes it better for some reason.
Mobile signal is awesome though, I get signal in areas whe're my ZL struggles. Same network, Vodafone.

I bought one of these for my Lumia 920 and it works like a charm.

I find the latest update for the Z/ZL increased signal reception - my ZL gets a stronger signal now
Offensive. Also, fucking whoever anglicized Korean. Arirang is closer to Arilaung.
Arirang is a classic Korean folk song. They make you sing it as a child. I remember none of the words.
Well, being that this phone won't be sold outside of North Korea, it makes sense.
What does Arirang mean though, or is it Arilaung?

I'm thinking about putting a SNES emulator on my android phone, so I'm checking out bluetooth controllers and every controller seems to be under the device.
I'm looking for a controller which would fit on either side of the device when I hold it horizontally, so it'll look more like a PSP or original GBA.
Do these exist? Please help me out guys, cheers.

Not sure about ones that make it like a PSP/GBA but the PS3 controller works fine if you wanna just set it down on a phone stand.

Yeah, I have that update .253 I believe. The SP is still stronger.
First complaint, 5.5GB free space internally, and Sony's apps don't recognise media on the SD card so I had to root and work around. I'm not even going to use it for media purposes tbh, but it irks me.
Are people really this paranoid?
yes
This can't be real.
S4 shipped with the latest version of Android too didnt it? Good trend.
