The battery isn't that great on the new Moto G. If you are in the us you can get the old moto g (great battery life) for 40 bucks or the lg g2 for 150 from best buy.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Just make sure you get the right version for your carrier.
Also I would update it to lollipop as soon as you buy then factory reset.

Just saw this tweet. Hopefully it fixes the tablets issues. Now just to wait patiently for the factory image...
Shouldn't have read the comments on the G+ post...the amount of idiots on there is insane its like YouTube comments.
Supposedly has GPS and heat problems along with the touch screen digitizer going bad in less than an year.
What carrier are you on?
Verizon.

I second these, I had all of these problems between Twp G2s, constantant GPS signal loss and the touchscreen went crazy, I thought I was imagining things on that one, and the heat was insanely bad.

I honestly can't understand why this isn't already the case but better late than never:
OP2 comes with 810... definitely skip year

it's good if it doesn't have any issue, which it seems like it may be fixed.

Why does the Nexus 9 get a price cut only in the UK? Is it still worth $400 in the US? Also it's finally upgrading to 5.1, I can't believe you guys aren't talking about this (it's not like the official N9 thread is more relevant or busy than here).
Edit: Didn't realise the N9 abbreviation was so popular

Probably start talking about it when it more when/if hits

Yeah gotta love how google announces it and there's not one report on it hitting a device.

The way Google handles it's updates really does need to change. Look at Android Wear it was announced and it said it would be coming in the next few weeks and even at that when it does start rolling out it'll take ages to actually get it.

Latest numbaz:

So after using two Snapdragon 810 phones (LG Flex 2, HTC One M9), I have came the conclusion that Qualcomm accidentally made a desktop APU with no heatsink. AMD would be proud. At least the M9 has someplace for the heat to go, but it makes the phone uncomfortable to use when something like Maps is running. The Flex 2 just throttles itself so damn hard, that I had to turn off Facebook Messenger bubbles so they wouldn't turn my phone into a stuttering mess.
Its sad because these phone have some awesome raw performance potential when they are not being throttled to hell. I'm almost half tempted to disassemble my Flex 2, slap a Raspberry Pi heatsink/fan combo on it, and making a Android console out of it.
Really wish I could just find a reasonably priced Sprint Nexus 6.

It took Xiaomi to come in and fix the 810 lol.

Lol.
I'm trying to hold off on finally upgrading until the end of the year. I really, really want a phone with USB type c, a non compromised 64bit processor, DDR4 RAM, and UFS 2.0.
which one doesn't have issues? 810 just seem flawed and not as good as it could have been even if you could just slap a big heatsink on it

I mean time will tell for sure but those results look pretty damn good.

anyone here use Onedrive for Android and share documents in a corporate environment?
well that's good news...
Any point in people from the US getting excited about the note pro? Will it even work on American 4g bands? Speaking as an ATT customer.

Will have to wait and see on this one. The snapdragon 810 doesn't seem like a huge performance bump from the 801 like they touted it to be, but a 2k screen is enticing. My OPO is still running solid though. The 5.1.1 nightlies fixed most of the issues I had with lollipop. Battery life is still worse than kitkat and I still can't see what kind of notifications I have from the lockscreen status bar any more.

If the op2 is the same size as the opo I'd rather get a note 5 (assuming is the same size as the 4 lol). In reality I wouldn't get either

Still too big.
Even if they did "fix it", my point still stands. It seems like a lot of trouble just to work around a flawed chip which could have spent else where. 810 is obviously rushed. There's hope that 820 or whatever will be much better from the get go.
I think the performance jump people were expecting didn't materialize because Lollipop wasn't overhauled to take advantage of 64bit processor. The marginal, increased performance probably, came from 64bit processors having more hardware registers... That's why I'm hoping Android M will fix it (or at least starting to). Too much shit were happening at the same time during development of L - material design change, full transition to ART, Android TV, Android Wear, 64bit support. Google took on more than they could handle in a year.

If the op2 rumours are accurate and they made a smaller phone it has potential to be the dark horse of the year. By rumours I mean the premium specs and build and fingerprint.

I'm not waiting. If nexus and or moto x turn out well I'm just taking the easiest one to buy.

So I guess that'll be the moto x (assuming it turns out to be good), cause we all know Google makes purchasing a Nexus damn near impossible.
My 925I is a Sony sensor.

Fuck it I'll ask. Why does your mom have 2 S6e?
I'm highly sceptical. Unless they redesign the entire SoC (which is pointless because they're already developing the S820), I think the thermal issues will persist.

Honestly tho, Nexus... lulz.
Also, all the G4 reviews coming in--- Sounds like a ripe shit phone. 2015 definitely is a skip year until Qualcomm gets their shit in gear.
? Have we read the same reviews?
Camera sounds to be good, but not great--- those expecting the second coming of something aren't happy, lower spec CPU, GPU, LG's fuck-ugly skin and of course carrier bloat ahoy.... thing seems sent to die.
Link me these reviews. Everything I've read so far says it's a beast with top of the line camera. Only thing holding it back is the software and spotty battery life.

Youre full of shit dude, sorry. Have you seen the photos that phone takes?
Literally just watched MTR:

I appreciate Lisa not overhyping the shit out of things and giving an honest opinion. Her other videos on the smackdown's show the S6 edging (har-har!) the G4 still overall. Anyways, seems to me that LG pulled an HTC this year.
I thinks they added Close All button.
