Yeah, I really should just sell it at this point and pick up a nexus 6, but I really like it, I just wish it would update already.

Toss up between OPO and AIT3. Technically, the OPO is better due to 1080p and S801. However, the AIT3 has a removable back and microsd card slot. Camera is SPECTACULAR FOR THE PRICE. They run near stock android as well.
Here's a comparison.

Is there problems with lollipop and S4's friend of mine said she went from 60% battery to 14% in 30 minutes right after installing it today

Should probably do a factory reset. The s4 has been through a lot of operating systems

Doubt she'll do it, then she only just mentioned she keeps GPS on 24/7 so that could explain something still that drain was crazy for screen off usage
That's Lollipop for you... The GPS has nothing to do about the drain. Is a Lollipop OS feature

I couldn't get that kind of drain watching video but then again I haven't been non stock since 4.0

Tell your friend to check the battery usage stats and see if an app on the list is keeping the device awake. I've got an at&t s4 running lollipop and I haven't had any crazy battery drain like that.
Also, is the phone getting really hot during that time?
Try clear the cache for google play services
FYI the 6S+ will probably be dropping September/October. Honestly IMO, if you're not one for tinkering and playing around with your phone (most people), iPhone is the way to go. It gets a lot of the basic stuff right with enough polish to not get completely enraged. I easily get bored of both OS's so I'm usually swapping between the two but consider Android as more of a hobbyist phone on the side while my iPhone is my daily driver.

Looks like some of the new Play Store stuff Google showed at i/o is appearing. I see the family section, popular characters section, and custom landing pages for developers are showing up now.
is there an app that can graphically show what is using up my storage? Like Dirtreestat (or something like that) on windows?
Almost all of my internal memory is full even though I've tried to always use my SD card for app caches and photos etc. Need to clear some more space.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
New hangouts fixes that damn ugly ass red notification off banner so it's a win by me.

Any of you nexus 6 owners know if I could instead the M developer preview on a US Cellular Nexus 6? I only see one system image on the preview download site so im assuming its playstore only?

Yes, it's so you can place it face down without fucking the screen up.

I think the Note 5 will be my next phone. Would go with the new Nexus but I need WiFi Calling.

Oh? I didn't know about that. I thought WiFi calling was only on T-Mobile specific phones. And T-Mobile sells a N6 specific phone. Gah, I'm dumb. It just clicked in my head lol.

Good start, but going to the browser is a BIG NO for me.

Yeah. It may have missed the chance to become the #1 music social site, but it still has years of my music history.
I asked them on Twitter if they would continuously be updating the app and they said yes. So hopefully with time the app will build in more of the website.

sounds like a perfect phone for keeping your coffee at just the right temperature.

has calmed down a bit.
So I guess the idea is that you'll ship it broken and then patch it like what HTC is trying to do with the throttling and the camera patches, but that's such a risky strategy, especially when you are at the mercy of carriers to deliver the updates.
Edit: not to mention the negative press from reviewers, and the bad experience from consumers who don't update right away.

Can also be used to warm your hands on cold winter days.

I'm sure the giant warning sign about the phone overheating, placed right at the store isn't going to help.

If you don't want a Samsung the G4 is the clear choice.
Save some cash and get a Z3. Fantastic phone.
Only consider the G4 if you use the camera a lot. Otherwise it's barely improved from the G3 thanks to Qualcomms fuck ups this year. Z3+ is literally hot shit.

So the z3+ is no good? Is there any other androids i should consider? I know anything will be a massive upgrade from phone I have now.

If you're willing to give Samsung another chance the S6 is one of the best phones out now.
Motorola will reveal its phones in the next two months.
If you can hold out until October/November, new Nexus is around the corner.
