Is the one plus worth it? It's somewhat cheap on eBay

I wouldn't get it at this time of year with OP2 on the horizon but that's just me. It's not a bad phone.

Wouldnt say its as good value as it was last summer. Its specs are pretty standard now in high end phones and it doesnt stand out as much anymore.
I got one last june of 2014 and sold it for a €30 profit last week. Shows what hype does for phone value.
The value phone nowadays is the Elephone P7000 in my opinion. I ordered one there in the presale (every wednesday) for about €150 delivered.
Heres its specs:
It runs CM Lollipop also and its rear camera is a Sony sensor.

>150 for a new unlocked phone... I can do with 16gb internal.
>has a microsd card slot
It's still one of the best phones on the market, even more so for its price range.
Just be weary of buying one used because you never know if the buyer is trying to pawn one with defects on you.
I'm still kind of scared of random Chinese phone makers...

Xiaomi has recently said they are moving some data center out of China due to privacy concerns probably in preparation for their expansion to the US.

Anyone use hangouts on iPhone? My sister bought an iPhone recently and its like she rarely gets the hangouts notifications now. Is this common? Its not a missed notification setting.
And then wait another year to get an invite which by then he'll be in the same situation.
Sometimes they seem to silence themselves if someone is spamming you. Other than that, no complaints.

I'm weary of the mtk. Bad experiences. And no aws. But a great suggestion.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Define somewhat cheap?
I do. The only issue I have is the notification bubble not going away after I checked a message sometimes. Otherwise it seems to work just fine.

So are these watches worth it or not? A little part of me kinda wants one, but I can't imagine I'll get much use for it beyond notifications. Maybe the occasional voice to text response.
Hell no.
Wait for I/O to see what the second gen watches do to decide.
They seem a bit pointless though.
Eanan

At the moment they're a novelty IMO. And an expensive one at that.
A xiaomi smartband for $15 does a lot of the things these do just as good if not better such as step/sleep tracking, vibration for notifications, LED notifications and its battery life is like 2 months per charge.
Sometimes it sucks just how popular Apple has become and how synonmous they are with smartphones.
I was out with some friends last night, had my moto 360 on (black steel one). A friday goes "Oh you got an apple watch!"
I said actually, I have a moto 360 that's been out for about a year now.

Yep, response was "Oh"
The point of my post was really a comment on just how Google really needs to step up their Marketing if they REALLY want dominance in these things I think. But because so many manufacterers are in play I guess as opposed to just one with Apple, it's not entirely Google's fault. Just the world they've created.
Are you going to get LTE?Wouldnt say its as good value as it was last summer. Its specs are pretty standard now in high end phones and it doesnt stand out as much anymore.

How can I know I'd get LTE here in USA? AT&T.

Check and see what AT&T bands are being used in your area and see if they match up.
If it ends up having an aluminum back then it won't have wireless charging.
The frustrating thing is, the guy was interested at first, then when they found out it is basically the same thing, that does the same stuff, only by someone else, they didn't give a shit.
People don't care that the apple watch is a watch, just that it is something new and shiny from Apple.
Personally I like my G watch R. Definitely only a gadgety curiosity, but it is handy to receive texts and reply quickly by voice, controlling music playback while driving, along with general notifications. It also makes me more accepting of larger screen ohones because they can go in my bag if necessary.

Guys the Chrome android team are doing an AMA on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/35v8gi/we_are_the_chrome_for_android_team_ama/
Well damn, they didn't save it.
Lol at the last paragraph if the story though. "It might not be the 810 causing the overheat because a VP of marketing says it doesn't overheat"
Bull. Shit.
Probably not. They claimed that they couldn't make enough and now, Qualcomm will be using their fabs for the 820 onwards.
They don't even give out the good AMOLED screens.
If anything I think if they do it, they'd give everyone this year's chips next year and keep the newer chips for themselves.
I find it a bit peculiar that their fab can't keep up even though their sales have been going down over the last few years. I guess it's possible the free'd up capacity is now used up by Apple...

Whats the next big phone to come out next?
G4 comes out at the end of the month. After that is probably the new Moto X or OnePlus.
Jazzy Network

Come out or announced? G4 isn't out yet anywhere but Korea. Probably will be either OP2 or Moto X.

Xperia Z4, Oneplus 2 or LG G4?

Really glad the chip has been basically abandoned for the 808.

I guess you'd have the option to dip your phone into water to cool it down.

You can probably also use it as a humidifier. Or boil water if you have no stove.
