Can someone explain me music storage on Android/Google. I'm coming from Windows Phone where I have 3TB of storage on OneDrive and my music just plays out of that. With Android I got Google Music but not sure how to upload my music. And I have GoogleDrive that has a folder with my music in it and every day on my computer it tries to Sync the 10GB of files and absolutely destroys my internet bandwith.

to me the device means more than anything. If the nexus 5-2 has a decent battery and a fingerprint scanner and is basically the nexus 5 redux. I gots ta get that asap. Who knows if we'll get that again. And if we do get the same thing next year with an 820 you bet your ass I'll get that too
what makes you think they'd make a verizon one o_0
Well they did make a N6 Verizon version.
New best bang for buck android tablet?

Performance seems to be the only question mark here, but it seems like people are satisfied and it beats the Nexus 7 and even other ones performance wise.
Not sure going about going as low as 218 PPI tho...

Well, I thought that it might be available through a carrier instead of only off contract. If I can only buy it off contract and not through a carrier then I guess I've got to give the 5-2 a pass.
Edit: Also, it is worth mentioning that Verizon blocked the previous N5 from its services so....yeah.

Woof. Yeah Google Music storage is separate from drive thankfully. You need to get the GMusic desktop client, point it to local storage of all your music, and let it sync it all. It has a capacity of 50,000 songs for free. Size of the songs doesn't matter.

There's a rumour that the Z5 will come this September. 4GB ram, 4500mah battery, 820:
we'll see lol, never heard of the source. But it's not the first time this rumour has come up.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
This year has been so wack as far as phones go, and shit is moving so fast.
Not that we haven't gotten some good devices like the GS6 and G4. but man last year was much more of a smooth curve.

That's different from stock Android. Normally the options are "None", "Priority" and "All". The None option even mutes alarms, which is the most pointless feature Google has ever made and makes the silent modes too confusing.
The biggest crime is that none of them mute media, so you can accidentally start videos (with audio) on Twitter and there's no silent mode to stop those from playing audio!

I say this again though. GS6 and G4 were good but isn't that like....2 out of the 3 flagships we've seen so far? That's pretty good imo. Z3+ isn't Sony's next flagship so that never counted.
We still have OP2, Moto X 2015, Nexus phone(s), Note 5, and according to the rumour above a potentially ridiculous Z5.
Of course next year when wider implementation of the 820, and fingerprint scanning and type c and hopefully better battery in samsung's case take place it will be a great year. Also will be interesting to see what HTC comes up with as their hail mary.
Just. Make. The. Render.

for real right lol
Do the render and take samsung's example of scaling back the skin and you're golden.
Sony too. Recent rumours point to their next phone being even more gaming focused. The Xperia seems like it could be a great companion device to the Playstation family. The 820 chipset family should be a solid move forward after the 810 issues.
EDIT: Ah you mentioned Sony.

Gah I can't decide which phone... I can't wait until Nexus 2015 or Moto 2015, my windows phone is driving me crazy and I want to get out of Verizon while there's still chance.
Moto X was a strong runner at $289 but no wireless charging is a deal breaker. Nexus 6 is too expensive for my taste. One Plus One strong runner but no wireless charging. One Plus Two still no wireless charger and 810 is a damn near deal breaker.
SO that leads me.. Can you get a Nexus 5 cheaply anywhere? That can hold me over until this time next year when the Motos 2015 and Nexus 2015 are in my price range.

Phone not on my radar at all. I'll check it out as I really like Moto's designs. I think it's been recommended before as a stopgap for the 2015 phones?

just wait
don't be weak, I know using windows phone is like being waterboarded every time it's in your hand but you can do it.

My phone died over the weekend sadly. I bought an unlocked Nexus 6 off Amazon. From my understanding I should be able to put in my Verizon sim card and have it work without having to do anything else, right? I shouldn't need to activate it through them, right?
Everything I've read said it works on both GSM and CDMA networks.

Googy give me strength.
I read that unlocked Nexus 6 doesn't work well on Veirzon. Like somethings will work, some things won't.

Awesome. I'm due to be out of contract in a week or two and my plan price will be cut in half with a employer discount + off contract. I was hoping to wait on upgrading for the new Nexus 5 but oh well.

Hmm. I hope it's nothing too serious.
He heard wrong.
So my girlfriend's sister took her Nook and I want to get her a repalcement tablet that can be used to read her Nook stuff but I don't want to get her a Nook tablet because that doesn't seem like a smart investment. What's the best Android tablet that would suit my needs? Price isn't exactly an issue. I'm currently looking at the Samsung S or something along those lines. There's also another galaxy tab that's branded as a Nook tablet that I'm looking at.
What's the off contract Verizon deal?

Flagships right now suck ass battery wise. Just wait it out and get a Note 5 or something from last year if you need a phone now.

Nvidia's Shield tablet is a great Android tablet as well. It even comes with a stylus.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
IF money isn't an option just get her an iPad Air 2 and be done with it.
Hmm, that doesn't seem like a bad choice.
Ok let's say money is an option lol. That's a bit much. I'd rather just go with an Android device since her current phone is my old Galaxy S5 and she doesn't seem to use her apple id when she's using her ipod.

12% off for employer discount I think. Then, since I'm not on contract they have plans where it's much cheaper. I think that one is $45/month before taxes. My current plan costs around $90.

Tab Pro 8.4

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Well, to be honest, there aren't any good Android tablets. They're serviceable. I'd get an iPad if she's OS agnostic. Particularly for tech muggles.

i gotta know if Google got death threats from OEMs after the Nexus 7 or something.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 is one of the best Android tablets around and it's probably the best priced at the moment since Best Buy has had it on sale at $200 for awhile.

Nope.
Gotcha. Looks like I'm still going to T Mobile then.
Maybe! They advertised it a bit and had demo models in some stores during christmas 2013 then it was never seen again. I hope it gets Android M because I think I could get another 2 years out of mine at least.
