Despite Markot being a douche as per usual I'll tell you my experience.
N7 2013 ran flawless. No hiccups and battle animations ran smoothly. Only problem people will have is it will drain your battery faster than say just browsing the web.
Shit is night an day compared to Magic. Hearthstone runs like a boss where as Magic runs like ass.
RAM is meant to be used. And don't use a shitty app like cleanmaster.

My dad is having a weird issue with his Nexus 5. When he makes calls you can't hear it ringing. It's just silence until the person on the other end picks up or goes to voice mail. He's using Android 5.0 on a Nexus 5. Anybody got a clue what might be going on and how to fix it? Sorry but I don't see an official Nexus 5 thread and if there is one I'm sure it's long loooong dead. Maybe it's an Android 5.0 issue and someone here can help. Thanks!
Gates had all of the ideas just not the ability to execute and the company management style to foster innovation.
I had a similar issue with my nexus 4. A restart of the phone sorted it out.
Nexus 5 |OT| right here, for future. I don't have that issue on my Nexus 5. Sometimes I think so then two seconds later I begin to hear the outgoing dial tone. Bit weird he's getting none at all. Is he using a Bluetooth device? Seems that's the only thing coming up on Google, same issue but with BT devices used. It's definitely not a Lollipop issue, though.
E: Step one, though, make sure his ringer is up. <<
It runs smoothly in game on my nexus 6. The menus have a few hiccups now and then but overall it's an excellent port.

So glad I didn't fall into the hype, stayed strong, and skipped the Moto 270. Such a disappointing product but all in all, it is a passable first gen attempt.
It's still the best looking android wear to date.

That game can be played on phones? Thought it was tablet only. Also, where are you? Here in Sweden it's not even available yet.
Only on tablets. I live in Sweden and downloaded it last night.
It said "tablets 6" or larger"...
It can, it is, 'Murica, it is.
The app isn't region locked so its available everywhere but you have to get the apk (or mod the original yourself) with the screen size requirement removed.

playing Hearthstone on the note 4, a bit stuttering but quite smooth.
lol no, what i meant was it was stuttering at the beginning then it played smooth like butter
i will phrase my words properly next time.

TouchWiz strikes again. smh.
i will try it on my note later, but i would say that resolution would be the limiting factor here instead of UI if it really has performance issues.
Unless game is just upscaled from 1080p, which i do not know.
It doesn't require tinkering so much as using manual mode. The auto mode sucks.
The big problem is that you can't use the manual mode unless you unlock your phone, and the dedicated camera button opens on auto mode with no way to change the default.
I really, really hope that gets improved with the lollipop update

Seems like the game just takes a sec to load, but you can go through the menus anyways. Once it is good to go though runs fine.
This is now automatically the best game on Google play, and it puts the Magic DOTPW games to shame in terms of polish.
Took Blizz a while, but you can tell they wanted a little issues as possible when it finally did launch.

How does Play store tax work? Got charged tax for GTA SA but not Baulder's Gate II or Hitman Go.

This could be the year ladies and gents. We could finally see all entry level handsets ship with 2 gigs of RAM. This would be a massive step forward in usability, and put a metric shit ton of downward pressure on phone prices if entry level handsets get this good.
When you install something, not everything can or will be moved to the sd card. Some parts have to reside on internal memory.

Who knows. SD cards and apps are not fun. Use SD cards for media only and have a great time.
Why are system cleaners / managers frowned upon so many on android?
I should add that the game loads up quickly for me. The first time I played it the menu animations were choppy and it took a while to load but since then everything has been fine minus a few hiccups now and then.
It's definitely a great game. I can't say it's the best as there are some great ones out there but it's definitely on my recommendation list. Terraria,when it works T_T, is also an excellent port. I would definitely recommend checking it out.

This looks fucking rediculous
They do way more harm than good. Everyone sees background processes, RAM usage, etc. and freak out thinking they need to "clean" the system. You don't. The OS can manage itself. When you use a shitty 3rd party "cleaner" to kill random processes and delete "junk" files, it screws up the delicate balance the OS is trying to maintain.
Yep. The OS knows what to keep alive, because you might be using it soon, and what to kill to free up space. RAM being nearly full is a good thing as that means its full of things ready to be used without longer loads from storage. App use on smartphones is not like a PC where closing a program means closing a program and it should be purged.
That said using something like greenify to hibernate apps or sd maid to clean skeletons and wasted space is something else entirely, but they are not process/ram managers.

Ok, guess it just doesn't show up on the Play Store on my phone.

Uninstalling does leave shit behind. That's not fiction. That's fact. You can just check through with a file explorer and see shit that is still there even with an uninstall.
It's worthless for shit like speeding up shit, freeing up ram, killing processes ect... though.

There is an apk with the extra files that works on phones. You'll just have to manually sideload the app and then manually keep it up to date.

I hope this is the right thread to ask for advice.
What are your thoughts on Nexus 5 and Huawei Honor 6?

Hangouts Dialer figured out it's a real dialer, and can now replace your stock dialer.

Nexus 5 is still a great phone.
Currently you can buy a One Plus without an invite though so I'd grab that while you can over the N5 IMO.

It's always more fun to speculate on phones we only have rumors on. Now that all the phones are out, it's boring. Of course, we must wait for the next big thing which will wow us.

My Moto X is just draining battery on standby. So pissed. Fuck this phone.
There was a big update for Fleksy today, so I finally gave it a shot and so far I really like it. Navigating through punctuation selection is a pain, but I like everything else. I even coughed up $3 for a "chameleon" theme that changes the color of the keyboard to match the material color of whatever app you're in. It's nice. I also like that it allows me to shrink the keyboard. After several months of having a shrunken version of SwiftKey, I can't go back to using something that takes up half of my screen.
