Hmm, yeah. That or press the home button super quick and lift your finger off (on the S6 at least, not sure how it's going to work on the phones that will unlock with the fingerprint reader, but the reader isn't actually a button). Even then, sometimes the S6 reads so fast that just a tap is enough to unlock.

No to the pure.
Leave Verizon if you care about using a phone
Asus has a ton of garbage running in the background that you can't disable unless you root. They are where Samsung was 4 years ago with garbage apps running
Is Verizon CDMA?
Well, right now the GS6 is no better, at least from what I've gathered.

Sideloading APKs on Windows Phone is a thing now.

Yeah, Verizon are a bunch of assholes, but I don't remember them ever saying it wouldn't work, heck I don't think they've even mentioned this year's droid yet.
There were just some leaks of the Droid Turbo 2 today or yesterday

Er, why is that? We pretty much know what the Note 5 is going to be like, they aren't bringing microSD slot back at this point. Is there something wrong with Note 4, besides the continuing lack of root?

Someone a few pages ago mentioned how shitty the software is.
Dem blacks look great. Josh has similar hands to me so this provides hope that the device is not too unwieldy. Some reviewer needs to test out one handed use for three minutes so we can get a feel for what it's like.
One Plus is missing out on opportunities by refusing to produce specific cases that address needs like bigger battery, microsd, IR blaster, and NFC.

It was more specific than just "lol Touchwiz".
Say what you want a bout the company or the lack of NFC on the OPT, but I think the device itself looks amazing.

I get a Nexus feel from it and I dunno why :S
Wish it had a styleswap cover that was the same material as the Nexus 5/9 backs

Kevlar is extremely close.
it does look very nice, but you would think it's the worst android phone ever created based on the criticisms it's received in this thread.
Saiyan-Rox
Member
Kevlar is really close to the soft feel of the N5/9? are you sure about that?
It was the one I was gonna go for anyway.
The way the company has handled things especially when it came to admitting there was an issue with the OPO has been terrible and so is the invite system in general. OP also have the worst fanboys and forum i've ever came across.
It's the same hyperbole that the company itself uses, so, fuck em.
You can get one, and hope the touch panel works consistently unlike the last one. It's not like the company is known for making something reliable

I'm aware of that, but it hasn't been mentioned in any official capacity.

Uh, how good or bad is the LG G4 actually? It has a microSD slot...
Is that really the most important factor...? It's bulky and ugly. Otherwise it's... fine.

I hear it's fine. I played around with one and I was surprised at how small it actually was, but I have big hands apparently.

On mobile right now so I can't check but I will link it when I get home.

Most people love the phone. We just have a few very loud haters of it in here. Go to the One Plus One owners thread and you will see mostly love. Also any reviews who gave it almost universal praise.

While true, I have to ask. What was the last legitimately bad phone released?

One M9?

It's pretty sad that I forgot the M9 even exists.

The other 70% are waiting on 5-2 release date

More like waiting for any nexus 5-2 info -_- and I believe you mean the other 25%.
You were closer the first time lol.

I'm so sorry that some of us here have standards.
Fixed for accuracy.
I remember when that video leaked, it was so bad that people started making theories up that it just a marketing stunt and it wasn't really the M9.

are you?
Well. If these companies actually follow through on their monthly security updates promise, it seems like the stagefright vulnerability will have been a good thing. Of course the devil is in the detail like how long. The nexus promise (the longer of 3 years after launch or 18 months after last sale) should be the low bar.
Still waiting on my N4 ota update.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Blame One Plus. They set expectations.
