Not sure I haven't had alot of tabs open and I haven't gamed yet. The tabs still refresh though. At this point I don't even think it's a RAM thing.
The black is more blue really. In many lighting conditions it gives off an obvious blue hue.
Double tap to sleep works perfectly fine on my G2 with Nova as long as you do it on the top edge of the screen.
Dat Sammy screen.
Major step in the right direction. What I really want them to do in the future is at least disable the bloat by default. A lot of people just want a simple phone without the gimmicks, and power users could still go in and enable their favorite extras.
If they could offer a Nexus-like experience, but with their Samsung twist and style, that would be a game changer.
They'd rather people use their software, and power users know how to disable it.
Correct.

Ooh Z3 Lollipop looks almost as good as stock. With the Now Launcher its pretty close. Love it.
And I dont know if it was an Play Music update, or Sony customisation, but I do have a "Previous" button now for music tracks!
Now, the notifications are actually more awesome than on KitKat.

That back button was a Play Music update. Now I just need a seek bar back.
Does anyone know a good dice poker game on android?
I loved the old MotionX Poker on my old original iPhone, but I don't think that's even supported on iOS anymore either, so I'd appreciate if anyone had any suggested options on Android since I suddenly got an itch to play such a game again.

HTC just released Sense home for the M8: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/04/0...kfeed-on-google-play-brings-themes-to-one-m8/
so now, there's really no need to upgrade to the M9

Awesome! I now have an M8.5.
Is there any way to hide the soft keys? Just trying out cook/serve/delicious and some of the icons are right next to the back and task switcher buttons so I,lol inevitably hit them by accident. Are all games like this? (Not really used an android phone for more than apps before, always played on my iPad)

I keep thinking that this year, I'll upgrade from my HTC One (M7) to a Chinese phablet--something from Xiaomi or Meizu or something. But it seems like those phones don't really get custom ROM support on XDA, so I'd be stuck with their OS? And also they tend to not support US LTE bands?
I guess either wait for the One Plus Two (as the OPO has an active forum on XDA), or a Note5 or something.

Not as deep as he thinks
I'm not a case person and I've been team naked since day 1 on my Note 4, but the official OEM case was on sale and I grabbed it. It's really nice. Doesn't add any bulk and best of all, it protects the camera bump. Think I'll keep it on. And the back of it still looks very slick. For $10 I won't complain.

For someone who has never owned a Samsung but is definitely considering the s6: just how bad is the bloat?
It reads like a huge turn off.

I am very curious to know how battery life compares to Moto X 13/14 and Nexus 5.
That I can't answer since I got it today and I never had one of the phones that you mentioned.

nexus 5 and moto x 2014 are shit tier batteries. If the S6 has worse battery than the S5 which had a pretty decent one, I'd say the S6 battery is average whereas the Moto X 2014 is mediocre to bad and nex5 is just bad.
So if a Nexus 5 lasts me through the day, the S6 is gonna be godly?
where'd you see this? they were soak testing 5.0.1 for the X 2 weeks ago...

Theres a guy on Android Central saying his s6 battery life has been very similar to the 2014 Moto X. 2.5 hours sot.

Motorola should skip 5.1 and go straight to 5.1.1. It'salready been spotted, so I'm sure the release isn't far off.
OK thankspretty much

GG if that's the case lol. I guess it depends on usage and what kind of apps you use but with that size battery and that resolution I expect only average or less for the s6.
awww shit was that a shot at me in the other thread lol, if you even saw that.

2.5? Wow that's terrible. I can't believe the S6 is that bad.
Well my excitement for my S6 Edge has tapered off a bit. And by that I mean I'm furious.
A day or so after I got my S6 Edge I noticed a scratch on the upper right bezel. Not a huge deal, but a little worrying after only a day of use. Then I held the phone up to the light to see if there was more, and lo and behold, there's a ton of small, hairline scratches on it.
So I called T-Mobile about it, and they sent me out a replacement, which arrived today. I looked at the replacement, and sure enough, it's scratched even worse than the first one.
Turns out, there's a thread on XDA full of people (including Erica Griffin) complaining about the very same thing. In fact, I've yet to see a picture of one that doesn't have the same problem. It must be something in the manufacturing process, but I really don't know.
And I just got off the phone with T-Mobile to try and get an exchange for a regular S6 (since it doesn't seem to have the same problem) but I'm being told that I have to ship back the other two phones, wait 7-10 business days for them to leave my account, and then and only then can I order the regular S6.
I guess in short, if you're deciding between the S6 and S6 Edge, go with the S6.

That's what he said but it doesn't surprise me. We will need more impressions and it would be nice to see an ars/anand review.
I've been reading the XDA forum and people are saying there's some high Cell Standby battery drain bug. Hopefully it gets cleared up with launch patches. Some other people might have decent battery life if there's any truth to these screenshots lol.
