Also, just noticed this on the I/O schedule:
Hoping some new type of watch gets shown during the keynote.

My Oneplus One is now officially doing my head in on a daily basis, the touchscreen on it is awful. I've had resistive screens which have been more responsive. Looking at the OnePlus forms it looks like I'm far from alone.
So, new phone needed, preferably something under £300. Good battery life is a must. I've narrowed down my options to a Galaxy S5 or Honor 6 Plus. Honor 6+ seems better value for money, but will it get the continued software support?

Z3 from Amazon Warehouse?

They're great at dealing with things of they arrive not to your liking so worth a shot

You don't have a screen protector on or tempered glass do you? from what i've heard this makes the current touchsreen problems worse.
I think this is the good thread for it:
My contract soon ends and I don't know what phone to choose at renewal. As a base they're offering me:
- Sony Xperia M2
- Samsung Galaxy Ace 4
- HTC Desire D510
- LG Leon
There's also a higher tier, where there are some a bit less low-budget ones:
- Sony Xperia E4
- Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
- Samsung Galaxy A3 [EDIT: damn!]
- Samsung Grand Prime
- HTC Desire 620
- HTC Desire 820
However, for those I'd have to pay extra. So: are any of the cheaper ones any decent? I'd like to at least have a backup plan because I'd still have to see how much I'll have to pay (depending on the contract) and the cheaper ones I have guaranteed regardless of the plan I'll choose. Of course, I want to know which (our at least if any) of the other ones should I be interested in.
I'll just say I'm mostly using the browser, Gmail, RSS and sometimes YouTube/Twitch if I don't have access top something better. No games or things like that. I don't care about the camera at all, but on the other hand it would be nice if it sounded decent so out could serve as a backup player.

How much do you have to pay for the higher tier?
It sounds like you have a max. ceiling for getting a new phone, what is that ceiling?

Z3c or Desire 820 seems the best.
How long have you had the phone?
No great surprise here: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/google-confirms-cops-can-wiretap-your-hangouts

No, screen is naked.
Ordered it Aug 20th, so..... *counts* nearly 9 months.

Ah well was worth a check.
You could try an RMA but by the time they'll take ages getting back to you

OP forgot to set up their customer service department.

I've opened an RMA, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
Like most others on the OP forums it seems that heat exacerbates the problem, so with summer coming it's getting worse and worse. And I'm off to Florida in 3 weeks, it's probably going to be completely unresponsive in that heat. :-/
Yep, too busy marketing themselves to deal with paying customers and their dodgy hardware.

Disappointing
I don't know that I'd want a Note 5 using a glass back. Maybe they can finally try aluminum or something though.
Note 4 had the best back of any phone, ever.

I can't remember the last time I read a google related article that actually made me happy.
I'm not even joking lol. Lets hope IO is decent.

Note 4 back would be better if the leather was like G4 leather.

well, at least it has a great personality
I really never understood why all 3 buttons had to be physical on the active models.....it just looks awful
Got my official Note 4 case here, glass screen protector, and tracking # for my note 4, will be here friday. Im thinking of getting a UHS-3 64 gig to go with it, my sandisk 64 gig class 10 has been a very hard worker and served me well, but i've had it since it first came out and its likely slow as hell from all the work done on it.

I'm gonna assume cause the capacitive doesn't work under water?
That's not forced, and going off the record is a thing.
my contract with AT&T ends next month and i'll finally be free of this stupid galaxy s4. have had nothing but problems with it. the major one being the wifi stopped working one month after the warranty was up and AT&T would do nothing for me. so after multiple months of data overage fees, if AT&T doesn't reimburse me at all, i'm off to Verizon or Sprint.
question is, what do i do phone wise....? keep reading in here that it's a skip year...

You should just do Cricket. Same towers you have now but much cheaper and no overages. All carriers are bad and wouldn't reimburse you for that. Verizon and sprint have much larger flaws than ATT/Cricket being that they are CDMA networks.
IMO go for the new Sony Z4, LG G4 (big phone), or wait for the Moto X 2015. The s6 is an awesome phone but has the same battery life as your s4. If you want to wait a bit but need a phone now Cricket has the Moto E for 80 bucks.

I can't wait until my contract expires. I'm done overpaying for two-year contracts since I usually buy a lot of phones off-contract on eBay nowadays. Hopefully when it finally expires in April Google will have rolled out Project Fi to a larger audience.

Is it off the record or secure chat session?

Neither does the screen, so.....eh?
OPO says hi
Ew
ANYWAY, the new Moto 360 has passed through Bluetooth SIT and last time it did that, it was only days away from being announced. I/O starting is also the same day as my pay day, so I may just throw money at my screen.
For you could zoom in and out and take pictures under water. Pretty straightforward...

The chances of it going on sale straight after I/O is high in the US. In the Uk though I bet we'll be waiting ages.

I really dislike that backing. Tried for ages to get a white one from opo when I had the best phone but they just refused.
The M2 is a surprisingly good little phone. My wife has one and it looks similar to my Z3. Lower res screen but you'll get that at the lower price points. Seems to perform well enough for general web usage etc.
Z3 compact is a cracker if you can justify the extra
