It's the Wi-Fi only model. 16GB.
just noticed the HDMI 1.4...
would be awesome if it's 2.2
4K support for apps like Netflix etc would have been great

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Quite frankly if all you are doing is streaming 1080p video the 805 is overkill.
I had official lolli on my G3 before the Nexus 5.

A lot of that list depends on where you live as the Nexus/Moto rollout was pretty much global where as Asia and then EU is getting Lolli for other phones while the US sits and waits.
I know most all of Europe as 5.0 on the G3 while none of the US carriers have pushed yet. Still waiting here *grumbles*

Is there a 3rd party YouTube app that allows audio playback in the background and audio/video downloads?
In Google's own backyard? Thoughtful.
I've not used it since I got Play music, but hasn't the official app got background audio in settings?

Not allowed on the Playstore due to obvious reasons.
What's the difference? You can use LG's software or wait to get the OTA, either way the info posted earlier was wrong. As of now there are several releases for 5.0 and one 5.0.1 for the korean version.
While it's stupid that carriers have any say in it, I don't class a device as "having it" until at least most of the world has access to it.

I believe that the Amazon app store has a few apps like that.
:X I'm still looking for an AndroidTV device that can hopefully do 4K, Limelight (Steam games streaming) and RemotePlay
After seeing that Intel stick and HP mini PC, there's no way I'm going to be limiting myself to Android now.
True story. I'm more interested in getting an upgraded receiver that can handle AirPlay/GoogleCast, and then slapping that Intel PC stick in the back of it.

Obviously, but I thought that some developer may have released something as an APK for sideloading. Some of them YouTube apps on Windows Phone sound pretty awesome.
I was just curious. I had to flash the update myself.
I'm lost >< what are you guys talking about?
CES has brought so many new changes
I just really want something that allows me to stream my PC games to my TV in the living room :/
miracast on my Windows 8.1 tablet is too laggy to be of any decent use :/
EDIT: I just googled those two things - the Intel Stick is definitely on my radar now.
time to sell of my Amazon FireTV Stick lol (shall hold on to my Chromecast for now)
but liking that Google Cast Audio thingum too
Use this as a steam streaming extender: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015...a-full-windows-or-linux-pc-in-an-hdmi-dongle/

You dont need HDMI 2.0 for 4k. Most 4k TVs out now are HDMI 1.4. It can only do 4k at 30fps though, which should be fine for TV shows and movies.
Seriously, if the GDC rumors about SteamOS are true AND it has media streaming that's joypad friendly on top, I'll grab one of these the same day and throw it on there. Just need a USB hub, ethernet and my wireless 360 pad adaptor.
You don't need SteamOS. Just install steam and set it up to receive streamed games from your gaming rig. You also don't need ethernet, it works just fine over N wifi. All you need is your 360 wifi adapter.
This is all supposition of course, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work just fine.

has calmed down a bit.
Which carrier do I blame for my 2013 WiFi n7 not having lollipop yet?
In my experience 95% of videos I've played play audio in the background. It was added a while ago, but some videos are prevented from working, either way the app tells you.
I would assume the updates were pulled due to the memory leak issue.
I use Steam streaming quite a bit already and it's shite over wireless n, confirmed several times over in the Steam streaming group and in the thread on GAF.
SteamOS would just be if they have the media capabilities in a joypad friendly fashion. Could boot Steam at startup in big picture mode with Windows, but I liked what I used of SteamOS.
I used LG's software update suite, it's one click and done, D855.
Is this the old news thread now or

No it's the iOS thread now that you're here...
Now we are back to old news.

For those who advised me last week to "wait for CES" when I said I decided to pick a Note 4... has anything that's been announced made it seem less favorable?
After extensively testing the camera, Nova Prime, and reading up on all the positive feedback Loli will bring in terms of optimizations, I honestly can't wait to pick one up. If only they would give a sold date for the update.
On a different note, I asked this a while back but it wasn't answered. Excuse my ignorance on the matter.

Don't forget the 2013 GPE phones. They all have Lollipop now (Moto G, HTC One M8 and Galaxy S4, in their GPE variants, of course)

I figured as much. The differences between Sam's default app and Google Camera's were jarring, imo.

Yeah I forgot those. Probably because no one on this planet has them besides a half dozen nerds like us. Which is sad as well.
I will be checking out HTC's next GPE for sure though

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
They are pretty rare but they do offer a pure unadultered ROM which can then be flashed on non-GPE versions of the same hardware.
(Assuming it's possible to unlock the bootloader) .

GPlayer will play in a window or in the background if you minimize the window and Youtube Downloader will download videos.

if you have a google play subscription it removes adds and adds background play functionality to the youtube app.
