so how much could I get if I sell my moto g 2014??
Good placebo! Considering the i/o access has been fixed with 5.1, sugar pills work

It's for all intents and purposes a non-removable abattery. You can't even use that in list wars lol
Yeah I'm not buying the S6 knowing how the back cover is glued on.
People complained about the Nexus 6's components falling off on the face of the phone because of glue.

Cool thanks, I'll see if she likes this.
I guess all flagship phones these days are like $700-$1000?

Did Google pull 5.1 or something, or are they just being absolutely ridiculous about this rollout? Still nothing on my N5.

They are going the OEM route, fragmentations for everyone!
For ATT users tho?
Also... F ME it being 5.0.2. I'm moving my M8 to HTC Developer phone as soon as they crack Lollipop.
i think Taiwan
It's definitely getting Lollipop, though the OTA hasn't rolled out in all territories yet.
Is there any hint for when to expect it? :/
Fuck knows. If your phone is unlocked I think there's an update file floating around if it's not pushed by the carrier yet.

Just flash the OTA update yourself. Google are still using the roolout method of updates and it's stupid as hell.

I switched to using Nine for exchange. Lock is on the mail app instead of phone.

Still waiting for 5.1 on a nexus 9. Nexus 9.

has calmed down a bit.
Oh wow, fantastic news. M8 is the best HTC phone they ever built. A decent camera away from being the best phone of 2014.
My final 2014 rankings:
1. Note 4
2. iPhone 6s
3. HTC One M8
4. LG G3
5. Z3C
Deadly Cyclone
Pride of Iowa State
What issues will I run into without those? The flashing process seems a lot more in depth than I remember back in my Droid X days.
Phone seems to work fine right now, maybe I don't need to do anything?
I have a Z3 unlocked as well, UK, no update. Sure you haven't got it set to another language?
nope, UK English. Notification was in the status bar this morning around 10am.

went and unlocked my bootloader went through the trouble of wiping the phone setting it back up all for xposed just to find out it doesn't work on 5.1 -_-

honestly those pros and cons and score seem spot on to me just going by my first skim

Worse battery than the iPhone 6. God damnnit
-Pyromaniac-

extremely disappointing for 2015 yo. Not that the 6 has bad battery life but it's just a shame. Like I keep saying we should be going the other direction of improving, not going backwards.
Hmm, lucky you! I definitely have nothing this end. Ah well.

Its terrible.
The last hope is basically that the 815 makes it into the new Moto X along with a fantastic camera. The chances of both of these is very slim.
Or dare I say Nexus with an 815 and great camera but thats all the way in November.

I'm willing to have an average camera for great battery life if I had to pick one between the two. But yeah moto x, nexus, oneplus 2. Those are my hopes for the year. Hopefully everyone gets their shit in order. Battery is definitely one of my priorities this year (without having to buy a massive phone).
It was never going to have a better battery than the iP6, lol
Other reviews say the battery life is fairly underwhelming (less than S5 and less than iPhone 6) as well.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Nexus 10 is the only true Nexus tablet.
Watching the video all I heard was iphone iphone iphone. Ugh...

Yep. Not much reason to decrypt after 5.1, which runs like a dream.

I have been fully triggered. All he did was talk about the iphone. What sort of review is this?
Ha ha! Just spent two days of my life that I'll never get back setting up a bunch of iPhones for colleagues. I'd forgotten what a hateful, counter-intuitive, restrictive, illogical ecosystem iOS is. Fuck that noise with a wooden dildo, it's 'droid for life for me.
Nice to be reminded just how much better it is.

Get a Note for battery life. Shit people, how do you not have chargers all around you? As long as it's better than the Nexus 5 (honestly, even if it's the same), I'm good to go. Much rather have what appears to be the best phone camera.
My Qi chargers are waiting...
edit: I'd like better battery life, but it is the easiest issue to deal with. It's actually the only issue that consumers can actively make moot (by just charging the thing more). Any other issue is unfixable.

Just because Im bitching doesnt mean I excepted it to be. Just like I will bitch when the next Moto X still has an average camera. On paper it was a given but I saw some benchmarks somewhere showing the s6 to last longer than the i6.
It will be interesting to see if 5.1 imroves the s6 and m8 in any way. 5.1 literally woke my moms nexus 7 2012 from the dead.

For the battery: the S6's time is little less than the S5, but still charges way faster than the S5.

Pretty good battery life here, even though it's a con: http://www.techradar.com/us/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s6-1285636/review/4
Honestly, I have a GS4, and this thing bleeds battery life. An S6 will be a welcome change for me, in both battery life and speed of the charge.

In Spigen case:
It's really beautiful. Especially when the light hits, it looks almost like a navy blue instead of black. It's a really cool effect.
Hey guys.
So, I got a Moto X 2nd Gen as a gift this past weekend. I'm impressed at how great the phone looks and feels (it's the black leather version).
But one thing is REALLY bothering me: battery life.
Is it really this atrocious? I'm barely able to get 8h out of it. Is there something wrong with it's Lollipop release or something software wise, or is the 2300mha battery simply not enough and I'm basically SOL?
