IDEALLY THO, the Xiaomi Mi4i running stock would be perfection. 5 inch display. Very small dimensions. 1080p. 3120mah battery.

How is chrome crashing on gaf every day now? Did a recent update crap it up again?
Huh. I just thought a bunch of channels had disabled comments. I was able to see then on an older video IIRC though.
Means you don't have to use a 15 year old standard for quickly transferring files to your phone. It also opens up a lot of new possibilities for add ons with virtually everything able to go through it including video.
We also need faster mobile storage if we're going to saturate it. Current speeds are depressingly close to (often lower than) USB2.
No crashes here.
I think that's just you.

You're backwards. Gaf is fucked on every browser.

only time android Chrome has crashed on me is b/c of a flag being on that was highly unstable
I'm getting a lot of videogame related and tech-site ones. They don't bother me that much until they start inviting me to all these random events. The worst ones are the innocuously labeled porn profiles like "We Love Photography" where the owner has a scantily clad woman for a profile pic and all their event invites are essentially post-and-trade pictures of women in copromising situations.

Honestly GAF mobile works really well. It's one of the better mobile sites I visit.

Yeah it's pretty perfect. Only thing I'd improve is I wish it didn't take so many clicks to log in and change theme. I'm usually logged in by default but sometimes it's not so it's a minor nitpick.
Search function needs fixing, not being able to search for posts rather than threads is pretty broken.

Can't say I've ever searched for anything on Neogaf. Probably because any search on any forum I've been to always sucks hard so I just never try it anymore.

So leader in the club house for a cheap starter phone so far is the cheaper zenfone 2. Gotta see what else comes out, but only have a month till I have to purchase.
Since I'm always logged in it works great IMO. Site loads smooth. Easy to quote people. You can tap to auto jump back to the top at the bottom.
I'm not sure what else I really need.

Isn't Android Pay just Google Wallet with a name change and now fingerprint support?
Better relationship with the banks, I believe. Right now, Google Wallet transactions are processed through Google, with them acting as a middle man. This sucks, especially for rewards, as the transactions aren't categorized by merchant type by your credit card company. A grocery store purchase looks the same as a gas station purchase, for example.
Basically, I think Android Pay is going to be a more "official" payment process.
It's on vanilla. Just open a contact, press the pencil edit button then the three dots in the top right and pick Select Ringtone.

Sorry, I meant custom vibration pattern, not sure if that was clear, but it is absent from the G4 options, all I can select is a custom ringtone.
My bad, missed the word vibration completely!
I really wish chrome had this. Doesn't help that when I hit the top I activate that stupid autorefresh and because we can't have nice things there's no simple option join the options menu to deactivate it.
For some reason I sometimes get this bug on my Nexus 4 where pressing backspace randomly types a suggestion making it near impossible to edit posts. Imagine 'imagine' has to be deleted, but when you get halfway through the word it types a suggestion so you get 'imagimagine' and this keeps happening as you hold down backspace. When this happens marking words doesn't work either. I don't use other forums, but I haven't seen it elsewhere and it's been like this for a long time. Stock English keyboard.
Yes, that's a Sammy feature. Really should make its way to vanilla Android.

I can set a custom global vibration, but on the S4 you could give a contact their own vibration pattern, so you could know who was calling for a small set of people even with the phone set to vibrate.

My Verizon contract is up in 2 weeks. My current Note 2 is and has been a huge headache since I got it. I definitely need a new phone and am debating switching to something like Republic Wireless. I don't really want to get the Moto X or G, but my only other options are staying with Verizon or going over to Sprint.
I have a Nexus 9 and enjoy the stock android experience but am uncertain if I want a phablet again so I'm not entirely sold on the Nexus 6.
If I do stay with Verizon or go to Sprint, what's a good phone to get?

What's the reason behind limiting yourself to CDMA carriers?
Between the two, Verizon has more phones available.

I could go with AT&T, I guess. I always forget we have that here.

Happens to me all the time on my Xperia Z3.
I thought Lollipop would fix it but nope.
At this point, I'm convinced that stock Android isn't worth the hype. It's far too basic. It's missing some of the good features of Touchwiz and the clock, god the clock. Not being able to enter each value (hrs, minutes, etc) for the stopwatch is aggravating. And Android in general just sucks for downloading things. I tried downloading a 100MB podcast. Three times it failed. Fourth time it stalled and just wouldn't continue after 64%.

Sounds like Internet issues, I download 100MB podcasts all the time.

I'm looking into getting a new car and have pretty much settled on the Honda Fit. Does anyone have any experience with using android phones to play music through a Honda's usb port? Or at least charging an android phone through the usb port?
If it has Bluetooth then you could connect to it. I find it best like that

It does have bluetooth, but I figured the quality would be better through the USB port. But I guess quality doesn't really matter that much in a car.

Dear God no. I still wake up with a shot in the middle of the night having nightmares thinking I still own my Galaxy S4. I don't mind the manufacturer skins with the phones I've played with, just the S4 version of Touchwiz and I've never touched a Samsung since.
Does Android even support music over USB?
I mean, my Ford can read music if it's on the device and in mp3 format, but it's not like plugging in the phone and selecting music from your phone and having it play through the car, it's just browsing the music files from my car's touchscreen and selecting them to play. Needless to say, I've never used it like that. Bluetooth quality is fine.
I thought that audio over USB was either a very recent or upcoming Android feature. It's something that has been missing compared to iOS for a while. And if audio over USB works, does it support skipping tracks? I'm leaning towards no.
