Yeah but so far what I've found requires changing settings when you want to do certain things or not restarting the phone (to keep that message off). And the link you sent me requires root.

IF IF the One Plus 2 does figure out the 810 issue, I'd kill to have one one Verizon. But we know Verizon will never have a CDMA killer phone for $400...

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
The networks are inherently incompatible unless you root and do some fiddling.
Sorry your SOL other wise.

Eh it's not a bad way to do things. Full feature list is leaked out anyway already and we know the full launch will be July 29th.
You need to change the APN settings regardless, if you haven't.
Any specific number I need to input? Or is it just a setting toggle?
And while we're at it, I'll be switching to T-Mobile too next year. Is there anything I should know about what phones won't give me access to all the features on their network? I just need a GSM-capable phone, right?

check the leak from two pages back which or may not be real. That plus a late july reveal. That's about it. USB c/fingerprint/810 confirmed.
nexus is pretty much the only thing I'm starting to care about this year. LG...don't fail me. Or else I wait yet another year into 2016.
FABs. Urgh.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
You need to specifically check to make sure all of the bands match. Funny enough Android Central just did a post about this over the weekend!

yeah, that was my first thought, FABs have no place in iOS.

Most of Google's iOS design decisions have no place in iOS. I have no idea why they keep replacing standard UI elements that look fine as they are with far uglier versions - things like the selection scroll wheel, the fonts, the drop shadows, the header styles, even swipe to go back are implemented horribly.
Although it's probably just me since everyone else seems to think it looks good.

The Android Hangouts team keeps having lunch with the iOS Hangouts team.
It's getting the 810b tho right?
Is there a way to see what apps are slowing down your phone? I've got an old Note 2, on Tmo and my phone seems super slow lately.. uninstalled Facebook already since I'd heard it was terrible. Would go with a new subsidized phone, but Tmo doesn't do that and the other carriers are $$$ for data compared, anyway.
this is exactly what I did. Despite telling my htc one m8 to backup I lost all my contacts
I at least had the good sense to backup all photos on my computer.
So now I'm starting fresh and it immediately went and updated to lollipop. What are some must have apps?
I have nova launcher prime (no idea why I spent money on this but *shrugs*). Any other good launchers, etc. I hate pretty much stock anything, not good. My phone is really used for texting, web surfing and google hangouts with the occasional email read here and there. I wanna keep it fast. Been looking at a bunch of top 10/20/50 lists but I'd thought I'd ask what gaf uses.
Mostly just texting, phone app, launchers, calendar and of course delicious free icon packs.
EDIT: And a good cover app. I was using this really cool one (I think called just "cover") but it wasn't compatible with lolipop and had no music buttons.

Yup, 2.1. The same chip in the Z3+ and Z4......

No one should store the contacts only locally on the phone or sim card at this age...

Yea the one that is still overheating? Great.
I had it as a cloud backup but for some reason it didn't backup. I never lost my contacts switching from various windows phones (over 3 years ago) to a ton of android phones and even an iphone once but now it just decided to delete everything.
How did you back it up? I never think about having to backup contacts because it's just in my email account. Pretty much any of them would let you sync the contacts with the phone so you never have to worry about losing it or even both to "backup".
Perfect for winter time <3
Why doesn't everybody just go with the Exynos proc and boycott Qualcomm? Is it that much more expensive?
Just saw the pics of the OP2, barf. It's like the Moto X and LG G series had a miscarriage.

Wait, wait. Are you completely sure the Z3+/Z4 is using v2.1? Because that would kill any desire I had to get the OP2 knowing that the Z3+/Z4 still overheats like hell.
Goddammit, fuck you Qualcomm for this even being an issue in the first place. I shouldn't have to worry about this type of BS when looking for a new phone.
Yep, been discussed quite a bit.

Yeah I've seen it being discussed; I guess I just missed the parts about the 2.1 revision being used.

Is there even a single device using some variant of the 810 that doesn't overheat?

All of them after they have been throttled.

it's fixable by throttling like said above but then it kind of diminishes the whole point of having it.

Imo, the worst part of the 810 isnt the overheating but the fact that it stuffs battery life in bag and beats it senseless.

Good. My M8 is getting long in the tooth to me and I'd like to think that Mark II for them will iron out some bugs. Guess we'll see.
What do you guys think about the Honor 7 from Huawei that was just announced? It's looking like it'll be my next phone, unless there's something better coming out by late August when I'll be in the US. And is dual-sim really worth spending the extra money on, say if I visit the US or SE Asia a couple months out of the year? Or is it more for people with roaming issues?

What do you want out of your phone? Aesthetics? Camera performance? Do you like stock? etc.
S6 at the 5 inch side, Nexus 6 if you want a biggun
S6, G4 or Nexus 6 depending on your priorities.
Every single leather back except the t-mo exclusive brown is utter shit.
Fuck all data though at 250mb for that deal.
