I have fingerprint logon with my work iPhone 5S, but I can still deal with just my normal non-locked GS4 just fine. I think I can manage not using finger prints.

I can deal with it too, doesn't mean I'd ever want to go back to it if I had the choice lol.

Honestly, if I had to do banking, it's usually on my PC at home. Just never got around to doing it on phone... even though I'm sure it can be very useful lol.
Because the Surface 3 offers the same full Windows experience the 3 Pro offers. And while it only has an Atom for a cpu, that's actually quite plenty for most tasks. So the app store does not matter any more than it does with the Pro. So why wouldn't it be a suggestion if the Pro was a valid one?

I'm going by unlocked prices. More reliable than just 1 carrier's shitty prices.

[obvious pun]
My mom keeps getting SMS messages from scammers every day. Is there a way to filter SMS by content? They use a different number every time so blocking the number is not enough. The scam spam tells her to call a certain number, so if I can filter out messages that include that number that would be enough.

So I need to buy a replacement phone off contract for verizon and my upgrade isn't until april 2016.
What's the best course of action here:
-buy a phone from a legit store and take the gut punch that is buying a new phone 400-600 at 400-600 dollars
-buy a moto x from the website at 300 for verizon and feel the gut punch that is buying a soon to be outdated x when the new one is announced in a few months.
-buy a phone from the depths of the internet and suffer the potential gut punch of getting a phone that isn't actually new or doesn't work correctly
- keep using my galaxy nexus until april of next year and punch myself in the gut every day for being an idiot and breaking my current phone
anything is on the table but I normally don't have to replace phones until my upgrade is available so I'm not sure whats the best place to buy a verizon phone off contract since it seems like the lack of GSM on verizon hurts as far as replacing a phone.

look at swappa?

Nice. I can't justify paying that for a s6 tbh either. I'd wait for Note 5. I need a big screen. There really is nothing wrong with my OPO now though.

Check Swappa for a Droid Turbo used. Should last you until that upgrade.

Buy a refurb from a fairly reputable company.
I can't take it no longer Googy. Got a T Mobile sim card coming my way. I'm gonna wait the week or two to see what the One Plus Two looks like, if it's expensive I'll just pickup a pure Moto X edition for $250-300. Use it for a year until the 2015 Nexus or Motos are down to my magic price range of $250-300.

On going issues with this phone since it's launch which is why I've never considered it a good buy. GL to the One Plus 2 buyers

My Lumia does this and it's so infuriating. Especially when it happens in an emergency situation.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Zenfone 2 stays winning IMO for best phone $300 or under. Both models are much faster than all of the 410 phones, and you get a FHD screen with at minimum 2 gigs of RAM.
Lacks the random issues of the OPO, and the cheaper model has way better hardware than the Moto G.

Just got the new 5.1.1 OTA prompt on my N7 2013. Hopefully this means my N7 is done shitting the bed with the battery drain/ charging issue.
Just ordered the gold version of Zenfone 2 today. Yay.
The margins on these $600+ phones must be insane.

Should be down in the keyboard settings. Settings > Language & Input > Google Keyboard (under Keyboard & input methods) > Appearance & Layouts
A 64GB Galaxy S6 costs $290 to make, so yeah.
Whelp, that sucks. So why exactly wouldn't that work?
Doesn't have voice commands.

One plus 2 is using lpddr4!
Much appreciated!

Running a barebones basically stock skin to boot.
Why is the unlocked 128 GB S6 $200 more than an iphone? I don't see it the value proposition AT ALL. Can someone show me where the extra $200 comes from?
screen/camera/wireless charging/android
But I agree with you actually, I don't think it's worth the extra $200. Some people obviously do.

If these leaks are right (even though it's early), no microSD or removable battery for the Note 5, it seems. Very akin to the S6.

Well if the sales are indication of the S6, the Note 5 is going to struggle the same, if not more, because of their recent design choices.
The shit is frustrating. I'd have an S6 right now if it didn't cost $1,029 off contract. I love the PPI, camera, wireless charging, and build quality. However, the cost is holding me back. I've thought about buying one on Att unlocked but the tax pushes it to almost $1000.
S7 needs an microsd card slot at the very least. Integrate the fingerprint sensor into the device and get rid of the hardware buttons.
Who's ready for a 512 GB future?
What's the best way to keep track of Moto X prices? I don't really wana sub to an Android blog because I don't want to see the junk articles. I'm gonna scoop up a pure edition Moto X when it hits $249 until the Nexus 6 hits $300 or 2015 Nexus hits my price range.
That note 5 render looks good. Mostly because of the fact it's a render. I know the phone will be fugly upon release because it will have SAMSUNG written on every inch of it.

Ughh I really wish I didn't care about my job. I know things I want to share!
But alas. Most of it is stuff that we know of already...just with more detail/dates. But there's one thing. That might be nothing. Might be something. Bah. Guess we will see. Just want to fast forward to nexustime already.
like the s6+ but bigger you mean lol

The sales of the S6 have little to do with the removed features, I feel. Did it even do worse than the S5? Sammy been lagging for more than a few months.
Not that you WOULD pm me some details that I could push to upleaks, because that would be silly...just imagine a world where that DID happen.

lol the only problem with my leaks is they wouldn't be rumours so much as they would be facts that not many people I assume would have access to.
It's too easy to narrow down goddamnit. But yeah if you ever see me acting excited about something and using lots of capital letters you'll know
