Does anyone have any OnePlus One invites? I'm looking to upgrade my mother's garbage MetroPCS phone for Christmas. Thanks!

Don't ever waste your money on this crap. Just buy a nexus 7 or Amazon Kindle fire
Maybe...I will say this... Having only owned the M8 for a few days makes me appreciate the care HTC put into their phone. Makes most of the flagships look shitty. I knew I was taking a gamble with Sense since I haven't used it but this is the smoothest Android experience I have ever had on any device.

One of my friends bought this. Comes with two 3000mAh batteries plus a wall charger for $26. Not exactly what you are looking for, but a great deal considering the two batteries you get.
I saw that earlier, not a big fan of the wall charger. Though, since I haven't received my G3 yet. I own a Galaxy Note 2 and have this stand and spare battery charger. Don't know if anybody knows if the battery from the G3 would be compatible with it since its been extremely useful to me.

It's Android Wear on the phone. It could be awesome.
You don't usually say stupid shit, but this is like premature birth types thoughts.
Nexus 6 battery >>>>> other Moto phones' batteries
As sad as it is, never buy the spin offs. They're all half assed crap trying to get by solely on the name. Flagship or bust.
Guess you're right.
Sticking with my LGG2 then.
I think I would have changed my phone long ago. But I just enjoy the Tap to Wake feature too much haha.
I don't wanna go back.
Lots of phones actually have the tap to wake feature now. Although to LG's credit, their devices are the only ones that actually incorporate tap to sleep too.
The G2 is still a great device. I wouldn't be complaining if I had one.
Could be? Somehow I doubt it.
So people, i got a Problem:
I loathe how Wallpapers Work on Android Phones. MY Phone has a 960 x 540 Resolution, and i wanted to use this Picture as Wallpaper:
However, i cant make my Phone take the whole Picture as Wallpaper, i always have to choose a small part. Can i do something against that?

Well, you can't exactly put a 16:9 wallpaper on a 9:16 screen now can you?
Well yeah, thats true, but is there no way i can adjust it?

There are some apps you can get that let you specifically select from a given image what you want your wallpaper to be. The stock tools for wallpaper creation/selection definitely leave a lot to be desired.
Just turn it 90 degrees bro.
Genius. This is why you discovered the sun goes around the sun and I spend my day twiddling my fingers.
This is my Problem :/
What are some of those Apps? I tried "Image 2 Wallpaper", but that did not work out as i expected >.>
but stock is the way to go.....
I like stock android, and Lollipop looks awesome on my Nexus and runs as smooth as butter, but lack of customization is a real flaw here. No hiding apps, no folders in app drawer, not able to disable google search bar to put my widgets of choice (or at least dim it so i can see my walllpaper)....
And I can use other launchers sure, but no google now when swiping left
Use a different launcher. This is one of the main things that keeps me using Nova instead of GEL.
After trying a bunch of different Apps from my Recommendations i finally found one that did the Job for me:

So my nexus 5 has been running a little slow since installing Lollipop and I wanted to try factory resetting it and seeing if that helps.
Now I know it will wipe the phone, but I also know most of it will get brought back since its all stored in my google account somewhere. But I was wondering if you guys could tell me:
Exactly what will be lost forever? and if there is a 'best' way to reset everything?

You can choose to not restore from your cloud backup when you are setting it up again.
Basically you will lose all data unless the apps specifically backup data to your Google account; your contacts should be synced to Google.
That said, I did a fresh install with 5.0 on my Nexus 5 and have some issues so let me know if it changes anything for you; I don't have high hopes for a reset doing anything so I'm just waiting for a maintenance release.

Is all the Google sync stuff turned on? Then your contacts, photos, etc, are safe. What you will lose permanently unless you back it up manually is other app/game data (far too few games use cloud saves, unfortunately) and text messages (unless you're on Google Voice, in which case I believe they'll be backed up there).

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Dual window just feels weird. I think it's because 5.5" isn't big enough to properly use chrome and hangouts together.
Texts sent to or from your GV number are backed up, but GV won't back up texts sent to/from your carrier number.

For $300 to $350 for a G3, should I grab one instead of a Moto X 2014? Especially over a GS4?
RoadHazard

Yeah, obviously. Well, maybe not obviously, but that's what I meant!
The G2 is a much better device than the GS4, so the G3 is a no-brainer over that one. Whether or not you would choose it over the Moto X is going to come down to what is important to you. I think the G3 is probably better from a hardware standpoint, but I just ordered a Moto X yesterday instead of a G3 because I would prefer to get faster software updates. I don't think you can go wrong with either one of them.
I assumed you meant as much, but I wanted to make it as clear as possible for the dude who was asking.

This!
If you have a G2 no reason to really upgrade until true meaningful upgrades come out. Just wait it out for the L update, and then you'll be set till probably at least late 2015 if not 2016.
PS: So far so good with my new G3. Wish everyone could do small bezels like this.
Is there a widget that mimicks Google Now?
I am currently using dashclock on the main screen for calendar events, missed calls, unread emails and texts. However, I also like Now cards and receive traffic, weather and so forth that way.
Is there a way to combine those two? I am willing to forego all of Dashclock things if I can get a Now cards widget that also shows me my next calendar item (a few days out) not just "time to leave" cards as it does now.
Any ideas?
