sweet, I think I might sell my G3 for a Z3. Camera seems to be about the same and I don't mind sacrificing a bit of screen for a longer battery.

that's why I'm saying if they releaes a smaller one next year then who even needs a nexus phone. Assuming it has the same good battery life.
Not sure if trolling or not, so not going to waste my time with this shitpost.
No, remember L won't effect Samsung devices?
No. It wont.
Waiting Hugo starts pushing those Xiaomi phones to the US and other manufacturers start following suit. Then we will start see an ass whooping and cheaper phones all at the expense of Android manufacturers while Apple remains comfortable in their lane with their millions of followers.

It's already confirmed to have a 3200+mAh battery though. The only thing the One Plus has over the Nexus is storage capacity.

This seem to help. Might be placebo, regardless, thanks!
Nah it's real. Android RunTime compiles all of the application code at install time. Dalvik uses just-in-time compilation meaning it turns the bytecode into machine instructions on the fly, this takes up much more computing power.
Best part is you're using a very very old build of ART. Google is still working on it and showed a much better version at I/O months ago. And they're still working on it up to the release of L.
Can't wait to see the final version...

Good for you. My number #1 take away from your posts has been ignorance and anger.

I wouldn't mind a landscape shake in terms of android manufacturers but it's an uphill climb. I can't imagine casuals getting a xaomi phone. They'd rather get "the samsung".

Nothing is confirmed until it's announced. I'll get it day 1 probably even if it's 16 gb if it has a 3200 mah battery. I'm satisfied with the 1+1, but if leaked specs are true the Nexus will rock.

Hey hey, why can't we all be friends? Vanilla is not ignorant or angry. He is informed and pretty chill.
OT: Here is a review of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha by Engadget.
Yeah, the more refined ART is something I'm looking for.

Will L also fix the messed up Chrome browser that has become worse since it got 'materialised'?
Or will it just cure cancer?

Yo, guys. Just got a OnePlus One invite and I want the Z3 Compact, sooooooo...
PM me if you want it, I guess.
I just have one, though.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
The fact that you think this shows you take this thread waaayyyy to seriously.
I don't. Neither do most of the rest of us not named you.
PS: I do find it funny I'm ignorant when I post actual factual information. LoL

Thinking about getting a 128gb micro SD card, but damn $100? I just can't do it

Still rocking a 2gb micro SD card LOL. Once I get the Z3, I'll probably get a 64gb card. You'll probably find great deals on black Friday and cyber Monday.Thinking about getting a 128gb micro SD card, but damn $100? I just can't do it

For those looking for micro SD card deals, check out the Amazon Gold Box Deal:

No 128gb though.

E-mail is a shit program. I report it every GD time.
Android L will install a new feature on all phones whereby a huge hand comes out of the screen and jerks you off on demand. "OK Google, jerk me off"

Shit I'm getting better battery life while using material Chrome on my N10. Before I wouldn't be able to get up to 7 hrs screen on time and now I get a little over 7hrs every time. Some nice under the hood changes they did with the update. Now if they could just add the refresh button back to a "one tap", that'd be great.

That's still 1/4 the $/GB of a PS Vita memory card!

i still can't believe i dropped $52 on a 32GB Vita card.

hope they ship mine early
I was actually surprised that it's much closer than that, you can get a 64GB Vita card for $83.
It's interesting when comparing the Z3 battery life to that of all the other smartphones because I always see Android OS/Android System taking up like 20-30% battery life in most phones leading to like 4-5 hours of on screen time whereas with the Z3, Android OS/Android System take up about 10% total. I wonder if Sony fixed whatever bugs Google may have in those operations.

Perhaps that's the case, but for me it started crashing two weeks ago and now it's multiple times in a day. Usually when I'm not using the e-mail app. It's just really weird. Maybe it's Google's way telling me that I should get a different phone!

Nexus devices are notorious for this, I think that the base Android is just not optimized at all for battery usage and Google leaves it up to the OEMs to do that for their specific Android builds.
i've have had exchange problems since i bought my nexus 5, never happened before, i guess is google's own mail app since i have no issues on other devices using stock mail app (a samsung and an xperia both on 4.4.2)
I am using mailwise right now on my N5, works fine but exchange calendar doesn't sync with Google calendar
And no OEMs actually do except for Sony. Samsung, LG, Motorola, HTC all have high battery usage for Android OS compared to Sony's phones..

Come on, what's more important to you? The best coverage nationwide with the best speed on any network or some stupid Google app? You can't have both.
Thanks for the tip. I might try mailwise then.

i've never quite understood this fragmenation debate, i mean, obviously having the latest version of OS is usually great but i have a wide range of android devices at home from 2.2 to 4.4.4 and most apps work on all of them , only my old moto defy stuck on 2.2 misses a few..
And my acer iconia that won't run google now launcher since is stuck on 4.0.4 (i can manually install the apk though)
I guess it depends on what apps you use at the end of the day.
And as for the os itself, afaik, even old apple devices with latest iOS version have some of its features missing because hw can't handle it properly, so that fragmentation pie is a bit of a lie if that is true

That has to be some sort of fan render. There is no way in sam hell that lens is real.

This render is really old and has been circulating for a while. Most likely fake.
