5 hours on a Nexus S? What?? Was 4 hours of that 5 a black screen on airplane mode?
My tip for long battery life is to avoid the internet browser if you can >_> Thankfully I don't usually need it.

I CAN'T.
Chrome sucks the life out of my N5.
All the browsers do. I've tried Dolphin, Javelin, FF, man.
3h SOT max these days. Sigh.

Haha. Nope, no black screen; no airplane mode either, as far as I can remember. I was on WiFi most of the time, though, and using the AOSP browser instead of chrome. I was also using a custom ROM (aokp I think).5 hours on a Nexus S? What?? Was 4 hours of that 5 a black screen on airplane mode?

Kaz is right to put TVs (finally) and mobile phones to the guillotine.
It's crazy to think that Sony may become a Playstation and media company during Kaz's tenure but it's the right thing to do. Many of Sony's traditional consumer electronics businesses have been albatrosses for far too long.

Probably copying Apple yet again by also falsely photo shopping out the ugly hump.

Is there ad block that works for chrome on android? The number of redirects to shady sites on various websites is getting out of control now.

The contributer to the article mentions Android 5.1 performance is much better in the comments.
That's good news but makes the wait harder. I fear for the OEMS pushing out the stuttery lollipop since 5.1 is still not out.

Trying the official nightlies on my old Motorola Droid RAZR and it's great (when it works). Can't wait for a stable build and making me look forward to Lollipop on my 1st gen Moto X.
Is it a Lollipop thing or a CM thing that recent apps are kept in memory even after reboot? I was surprised to see they were still there but I think it's awesome.

True.
I usually can make 4h or a little more of SoT on my note 4 but i mainly use chrome all day to browse the Internet. That is probably why. I also found that signal strength has a huge impact on battery life too. I'be been working a few days in a place with very low signal and phone drains even when idle.
Thanks man.

GOAT incoming (at least according to samsung)
I kind of don't believe those leaked pics of the S6 after all these weird teasers.

crazy thought here... what if there is only one model?
no 'plain' model, only the 3 edged model?

Not for the average consumer.
Why?
That's a fucking awesome teaser

What's to not believe about the leaks? The teasers are supposed to make everything sound amazing.
that is undoubtedly the most up-its-own-ass thing I have ever seen

If people think Samsung made the Edge a one off phone, they have another thing coming. They didn't make an SDK just for a one time thing.

it's pretty much already confirmed they are working on an S6 and S6 variant with 2/3 sides.

but which one is the limited edition!?!?

Neither of them will be more Limited Edition than the Xperia Z4.
Will it ever get those capabilites? But otherwise I can make calls and text message and all that just fine.
Assuming you flash a Verizon ROM on it whenever it gets that update officially, sure.

most (all?) new devices on Verizon and Sprint simply do not have the antenna diversity required for CDMA voice and LTE data. VoLTE will be how they achieve simultaneous data/voice going forward.

Didn't you or someone else recently post that vzw gets it this week? Shouldn't he just wait for that?
Well yeah, there's that too. The 26th.
Well I just ordered it from Motorola. Even if it comes out on Verizon this week that wasn't really an option. I wanted to use the Moto credit so I could do payments on the phone (since because I bought the DROID turbo I had no contract options from Verizon). Also this way I'll get updates straight from Google right?

updates can be held back by the carrier on the SIM card.
It is weird to think of a future Sony as primarily a content company. At least on the consumer side.
And it makes Sonys gaming future in Japan even weirder. Where will Sony be? Making games for the 4DS?

Those leaks directly contradict the old ones. Also Evleaks posted this just recently:
Take it for what you will. HTC is already known to be putting fake troll devices out there so it's these mockups vs the other ones. I'm inclined to believe the other ones more than this.
