Suppose. What's weird is my app has been on Google Play since 2011 and has been on lots of big sites over the years and just now Apple messes with me. And my icon is not even the same as theirs...sigh

In all fairness, man, your original icon was like 90% similar to Apple's.

I won't lie my original one was but that was like 4 years ago. I changed it years ago to this flat design version with no gradients, shadows, torn pages etc.

I had a lumina 520, thought it was a very nice phone. Apps hardly ever crashed, I was sorta surprised when I got a moto g and it seemed less stable then Windows phone 8.
At the size of a phone screen (and this is being pretty generous), they look almost identical. 6 horizontal lines, the double vertical lines that match up almost perfectly, the same framing and composition of the pad...I think Apple did what they had to do to protect a trademark, pure and simple.

Welp, guess I'll stick with Skype.
wait, according to this:

hangouts does have gif support...
is it the actual picture you need to send then and it will animate? It would be nice if direct links would animate

I am really starting to get excited about receiving my s6. The moto g is a good phone but I have been dying for a fluid experience where lag is miniscule
That's a pretty massive upgrade. I'm going from the Oneplus One to the S6. I'm excited to have a smaller device again, this thing is just too big and drives me nuts.
That's if you have the GIF downloaded to your phone, and way too many steps (yet the only way to do it on Android).
On iOS, long press GIF in browser, hit "copy" from dialogue box, go back to chat, long press chat box, hit paste. GIF is instantly embedded in chat, and animates.
This workflow only pastes the image url into the Android version of Hangouts. Awful. Best solution would be if an image type link is detected, embed automatically, but don't upload to Google's Photos album.
A lumia would be great for that. You can easily set up the home screen to be simple to use, including putting contacts directly on there and you can see if one of them has called/texted with notification badges on the icons. And using larger icons for email etc lets you read messages without even opening the mail clients.
And the 5xx are dirt cheap but still responsive.
It's hot garbage. We use GApps at work, and we constantly bitch about it. Skype is way better.

Hangouts is fantastic. I use it everyday to conference for our morning meeting. Dont listen to the naysayers. Its been absolutely flawless as of late.
When was the last time you you did a video hangout in a web browser and/or on android?
9 months ago we specifically chose hangouts over skype because the quality of skype was absolute shit on a less than perfect upload speed.

is size really the only issue that is making you switch phones? The one+ seems like it is a fantastic phone and fairly future proof

in his defense, the oneplus is huge.
Well it's that and the design and other features of the S6. OPO is solid for a plastic backed phone, but I prefer something made of metal or metal and glass. I also like the extras like wireless charging, fingerprint security and software features like multi-screened mode. But size, weight and shape being more in line with what I want with the S6 are the biggest factors.

Another test showing s6 battery outlasts iPhone 6. I am guessing in real world use i6 lasts longer but in non stop use s6 lasts longer.

In Firefox, you can long tap and share any image to Hangouts.

Does anyone know if you can turn off s-voice and map google search/now to the home button on the s6?
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you can toggle between the two in settings.

i dunno why people continue to defend iVerge.
all of the 'but...' in the world matters for naught when at the end of the day, their editorial content is obviously biased against everyone except the chosen one.

We're a GV-funded startup, so we use GApps by default. Hangouts' video quality is so bad that we wind up using GoToMeeting, and I know we're not the only GV startup that's doing that.
The biggest fucking complaint is why the interface for screensharing is so shitty. Literally 1/5 of the screen real estate is taken up by black space because the area for sharing is a window instead of being fullscreen. What. The. Fuck?

I administered google apps at my previous gig. Hangouts was consistently more solid than Skype with our connection. Also as I said above I use hangouts for every morning meeting at my current job and it has been very good considering one of the remote employees is on DSL..
Screen sharing using hangouts is stupid and not sure why you would bother since it is an afterthought. Use teamviewer for that it is much better than gotomeeting. Regardless screen sharing has nothing to do with the OP's needs.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Sorry to hear. That's crushing. It's tough using someone else's business to build yours.
God that first first review was fucking annoying
Anyways, I think that Galaxy S6 battery will be fine. The disappointing thing here is that it could have been better. Comparing to the iPhone 6 doesn't mean much to me either because the iPhone's could use improvement too.

That crap has basically stopped working for me. It unlocks my phone at work, but not at home anymore. If I delete and readd the location it seems to work for a bit (but only if I add a custom one, the designated "home" address from Maps doesn't work at all), but then when I get home from work the next day it's broken again.
I generally love Lollipop, but some of it is just a buggy mess (although I've read speculation that these Smart Lock issues are caused by a recent Play Services update rather than L itself).

Yup smart lock works maybe for am hour or so.
Not impressed. I want to see one hammer a six-inch nail into mahogany.
It worked fine on my nexus4 - didn't try location but connected to my watch it was perfect. On the xperia it just doesn't work. I tried removing my exchange account and then it did work (glowing unlocked padlock icon on the lock screen). Had to restart the phone but even with PIN lock set it was unlocked. So it looks like it only does it when something forces PIN lock like an exchange account. nexus 4 still worked in that situation.
Seriously, how do you not test that - Sony sell smart watches, you'd think they'd check it.

I was pretty happy with the feature.
Until the FFC started to weird out on me and randomly stopped working every now and then, rendering the face detection useless.
Or until it stopped working work at home.
The hype was real, though.

Android |OT| The hype was real, though.
Well the double tap that used to be for S-Voice opens the camera now. And on mine at least, holding down the home button goes to Google Now. But I have S-Voice disabled.
So to answer your question, yes.

that shit is Better Call Saul bootleg HMM billboard status
It stops after 4 hours by design. I still find that Llama works better for location unlock though. That app has been working well for years now with minimal updates.
But I still need an app to turn off screen, without locking it. So I can use double tap in Nova.
