Ah yes, that new thread smell.
Edit: Maybe it's the font MS uses or something else, but I think the Outlook app is ugly.
Shoulda been |OT5| Meh

It's better than Chase or Bank of America mobile apps for Windows Phone.
There's no bloat at all in the OP.
Nor is there content
It's ugly...that's what I meant.

Why is the right side of the window not aligned with the list on the left?
It works just as well with how things go in the mobile space. Replace Sonic with phone.
Reposting from old thread:
For people who use Google Voice for their voicemail (but still use their carrier's phone number):
Somewhat recently I have noticed that if I ignore a call coming in to my cell phone, it will be forwarded to my Google Voice number, but instead of going straight to voicemail, my Google Voice number will ring first. I am pretty sure that the voicemail forwarding used to forward straight to Google Voice voicemail, without ringing for that number first.
Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Not sure if this was posted but regarding this:
Apparently they'll be putting up a bunch of their apps on the play store instead...not sure if that's the extent of this simplification.
I wonder when they'll solve the ugly problem. That requires good taste though. Baby steps I guess.

Microsoft investing in Cyanogen?
http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2015/01/29/microsoft-to-invest-in-rogue-android-startup-cyanogen/
Cyanogen is saying they want to take control of Android away from Google. What do they mean by that? Google is doing them a favor letting them bundle the Google Play store as is, but Cyanogen has plans for their own app store.

Hmm there was a rumor a while back saying ms was looking to acquire them but I guess the price was too steep so now they'll just invest. Interesting.
lose all the Google services and become worthless overnight.
that's a solid business plan.
Kinggroin self destructed on us, AJ might be okay.
You'll be waiting even more.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Fascinating from a company that grew through the hard work of voluntary contributors and then took those voluntary contributions to sell out. See how they tried to steal Focal. Fuck CM. I agree with pulling power back from Google but CM is a terrible company to back.

Cyanogen won't ever succeed at wrangling power away from Google, not even a fraction of it. No one really cares for their shit on a large enough scale, and Google still controls what direction Android heads, especially on the software side.
Cyanogen still has yet to even make money. I don't get how they keep getting funding. I guess an enemy/competitor of Google like MS is just looking for any opportunity they can. Screw the scumbags at Cyanogen.

According to Sammobile, Samsung will be removing bloat from TouchWiz by making most of it downloadable as apps.

All this change is too much for me. Like what's going on?
According to Phonearena via ZDNet Korea, LG Mobile is planning to release the LG G4 in Q2 2015 with a new design and a 20 MP "advanced OIS" camera.

Camera is going to be good if the G3 is anything to go by.

All I hear is how buggy Android 5.0 has been, I haven't upgraded my HTC ONE M7 yet and I don't think I will either.
Apart from Material Design (Love it btw) I'm afraid 5.0 will introduce bugs and slowdowns.
Hmm?

My S4 with 5.0.1 runs really great.
Will be hard to use anything else than stock on my next phone now
Last year's M8 is $300.
I'm trying to decide what Android smartphone is my next daily driver this year. Saygus' effort is looking real good right about now if it lives up to the hype. The M9 might win my money if my i5 breaks down.
The Exynos/S810 benchmark fight is going to be legendary if Samsung outperforms Qualcomm.

Kinda in the same boat. I'm running CM12 on my M7 (5.02) which is serviceable, but has a nagging bluetooth audio bug that would be a dealbreaker, except I can't make or hear phone calls on stock sensor due to some crap bug.
Material design is awesome and it's worth some of the initial quirks. I just wish there was another phone not named Motorola that had a pure android experience.
