My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I can also do this with just Hangouts.
Viral might be what you're looking for. The ads are annoying though.
Edit: looks like they got shut down but the apk is out there
Yeah, I thought the <3 Samsung was just a glitch in the system there. It's like "yay Android" for that one.

doesn't do that with my phone number.
is a car stereo different from other USB Audio devices? the USB dongle for the PS3 headset just works (tm) when plugged into a USB Host adapter for the devices i tried.

Qualcomm Tegrazowned?
Not really. Tegra K1 isn't designed for a phone form factor as it would overheat itself. Not sure on the X1,but I'd love to see that in phones.

810 apparently fits that description tho.
I don't have one, though. I read that it is not supported on Android devices, to output audio from Spotify and Google Play Music. Only with an aux cable. I bet someone already got a workaround for it, but I can't find.

Tegras cpu overheats like a bitch too.
Android is fucked this year if they don't get this sorted.
Even worse, my Qualcomm stock will be double fucked.
Fuck

who was that guy that said to wait until 2016 for 2nd gen 64 bit socs? it was that one guy who posts in here all the time... on the tip of my tongue, i swear!
Yup, sure is looking like it. Now if Samsung actually brings Exynos in a phone over here, I may begrudgingly take notice
Bboy AJ?

I thought it was well known this year would be a hack job since they went with the a57 instead of their krait core. Regardless, I doubt anyone thought it would be this bad. Hopefully this shit gets sorted or isn't accurate.
S6 and m9 announcements just got more interesting and apple may just get the monopoly they've always wanted... The last thing new high res lollipop phones need is shitty CPUs.

Samsungs new gs6? Real news? No more samsung apps store?

Rumors? Qualcomm Dun Goofed.
Also, on QC's roadmap, are they following a Tick/Tock method like Intel?
No they're on Tick/Flop
If that really is the design of the S6, I gotta admit that it is really good looking and seems to have a good build quality. First time that I fully like a Samsung designed phone.
Well the Z4 had that second round of rumours that shoved an 805 in it. Maybe it does end up being the sensible option and there's a mix of phones playing it safe with the 805 or ones that shove in the 810 anyway because it makes for a nice bullet point, even if the heat throttling does make it bench lower.
Be interesting to see if 6" phones have the slight bit of thermal headroom to use the 810.
One good thing for that Flex 2 is the self healing back cover, which does look pretty cool.

Guess it gives an opening for Intel then.
Not really. A GPU intensive game using binary translation has worse performance than anything in the Snapdragon 800 range. Unless the native app gap closes, it's not good enough in my eyes.
It is a real shame NVidia weren't waiting with a phone focused architecture as that could have helped a lot. But even then, the biggest thing for the manufacturers with Snapdragon is the built-in LTE modem which neither Intel or NVidia have.
EDIt: Bay Trail-T apparently does have built in LTE.
The Z4 is still rumored to use a 1080p display right? If so I'd imagine the 805 is probably going to be cheaper and there won't be much noticeable difference.
Samsung I guess could always just use their own Exynos CPU.
LG could also use their own Nuclon CPU.
Motorola typically uses last year parts for their phones so they'll probably be on the 805 for this year's Moto X (that or by the time it releases the 810 will probably be ready to go)
HTC seems like they'd be screwed. I guess they're the main company that would have to decide between going with the 805, 808, or not care if the 810 overheats.

I think Sony would be dumb to drop the 6 month thing now, just in case Qualcomm get their shit together for the Z5.
Been looking through for some comparisons and the 805 version of the Note 4 lasts longer on wireless connections while the Exynos lasts longer on CPU/GPU intensive apps. Then I ran into a whole mess with the new U variant that supports cat 6 LTE, but some have a Sony camera sensor and some have ISOCELL. No wonder we can't always find a bonafide source for cameras.

Smart like a shark Motorola is!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
You should know being a Samsung homer that all of the Sammy 64 bit chips using the same arm cores run just fine.
This is more of Qualcomm/TSMC fuck up.

So I'm ready for an upgrade and I need opinions. I currently have a Note 2. I am trying to decide between the Note 4 and the Xperia 3Zv. What do you guys think? Pros and cons would be greatly appreciated.

The Verizon Z3 is trash. It's this ghettoized Xperia 2.5 in reality.

has calmed down a bit.
I unplugged my phone this morning at 6:45, and its 9:40 now and the battery is at 57%. Bluetooth streaming, a few phone calls, some light web surfing. I even rebooted my phone this morning because I had noticed the ridiculous drain this past week. The usage stats all seem to point at various Google/android services. And just last page or so, people were talking about not needing any battery monitoring apps on android, but what am I supposed to do? This phone was a superb device in terms of battery life, like top tier.

You didn't install Crossy Road did you? It seems to be a battery suck.
This is what allows the G Flex 2 to bend so easily :3
My prediction? Z4 will have an 805. Bank on it
What's fab?
Fabrication. Chip production basically.

No, but wouldn't individual apps show up under battery stats?
Not always. For instance, Facebook messenger used to cause a lot of wakelocks and these ended up coming under general Android usage.
Ah, thanks for clarifying. Do you think Intel's close to being contender in the mobile chip space?
They're getting there, but the fact they're using x86 is still an issue with the app store. If they can keep making strides in making binary translation faster and/or getting more devs to support it (which the Nexus Player will help with), then it will be much more viable and be huge competition for Qualcom in a few years.
Obviously if they fuck up more like the 810 so far, then it'll be easier for them.
The lack of good hardware on android has me contemplating selling my body.
This year? Nah. ~Q2 2016? YAAAS!! Well hopefully :|

Underclocked S810 is what the current word is. That's not just Sony either, everyone is looking at that route until Qualcomm offer a revision that can run at full speed.
So we're all in agreement that the N6 is still the phone to get this year, then.

Any reason if Qualcomm is fucked that Samsung wouldn't/shouldn't use their own chipset world wide this time?
Why wait if you have your own chipset that works? I've always wondered why they went with the Snap anyways.
