IFA is almost here guys!
This year doesn't look any better, tbh. The Nexuses aren't even here, but I can tell that both of them aren't for me. I don't want a fingerprint sensor on the back and an ugly phone. Samsung probably released the most interesting Androids recently, but I don't trust them with TouchWiz and updates.

Yep, I think Motorola got this. Close to stock, good price, and camera seems legit. I'm dumping my s6, but I'm waiting on Apple before I make my final decision.

Samsung botched the s6 with that battery. They didn't go far enough in scaling back touch wiz. Maybe s7 will be better.
Nexus 5-2 is all I need. I like the look. Don't really care where the fingerprint is for a phone I'll probably keep for a year or so lol.

Nah, that's not the biggest problem. The thing charges ridiculously quick and, when the lollipop memory leak hasn't kicked in, it actually holds a charge pretty good. But the combination of lollipop and touchwiz make a mockery of the hardware.

Wow, the new Moto 360s look really damn good. Definitely the best looking Android Wear watches, along with the G Watch (Urbane) and Huawei watch.

If Sony is able to keep that same great battery life with a 4k screen, then bring them on, I say. If only manufacturers would stop stupidly chasing thinness.
Would be nice. Only custom ROMs and xposed allow you to do so, unfortunately.
They already are here, you just have to wrap your smartphone to your wrist.*

it has to be the sony one though.
The new Moto X is definitely enticing, but it should already have a fingerprint sensor, and I fear for the future of Moto's after the recent shake up.

Same reason why desktop chrome is using lot of ram.
The just need to improve the battery and figure out how to stop it from dying at 10%

Yeah, it seems like they are actually trying to put an effort with the Helio series.
And I too would go MdTk if I were to choose between the X10 and the SD615/618.
EDIT: That's what Sony did with the M5.
It's possible with root. I remember LG G3 owners on other forums doing this to extend battery life.
Textdroider with root
Accomplished without root.

I ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge the other day. I have to say that the curved screen, with a CRT filter makes it look great for emulated snes games. DO you guys have any recommendations for controllers to use on Android?

Final Fantasy VI is not a real game, good to know. I'll make sure to pass the word on to Square-Enix.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is not a real game, good to know. I'll make sure to pass the word on to Rockstar too.
Of course those are real games but let's be serious, most games are better played on dedicated hardware with gamepad or mouse & KB, plus is kinda nonsense that reaching 1080p is difficult even on home consoles and then smartphone games render at 2k... is a bit nonsense.

For Hasney and co., the new Lenovo phablet has a 6.8 inch screen. You guys should get on that!!!

One day it will be socially acceptable to use a big phone. Even when you're not pretty.

lol that's how people* with nexus 6's look to me.
*people = the one person I've ever seen with one since it came out a year ago.

Are you saying it's already socially acceptable for me? Sweet!
I would actually consider something slightly bigger if it would fit in all my pockets. I've got one pair of jeans where my HDX7 fits. I've seen people taking calls on something 7" on trains before, don't know if they just had an app on a tablet or there is a giant phone out there.
You could install an AOSP based rom but those usually have worse battery life and camera.
.....I'm interested

Ask me about the GAF Notebook

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Like I said, it's based. There is no other Android tablet as far as I'm concerned. It's the first tablet that actually works properly. It doesn't reload everything over and over and over. You can actually use it.
If you own a Nexus 9, get rid of it for the Zenpad.
Couple of my negatives: Battery is subpar. The display has this weird smoothing effect on text. I don't like it. WiFi signal is below average.

Untrue. When I bought my N6 off of eBay, I went to the local VZW store, and just bought a nano sim for $10.
N6 still seems to be about $400 used. Might just wana get a Moto X for around the same price new.

It's another reason why Moto fucked up. They announced shit in July to release in Sept.
Device is still good for the price, but the Mobile game moves fast. Each month that passed makes it less of a great deal.

Moto has no fucking clue what they are doing anymore.
They got like 10 fucking phones or some shit just throwing it all out there.

Moto had a good run
Don't say that. I need more Moto Xs.
Are we to blame Lenovo? I mean Moto had it easy and simple with the progression of low to high range with the E, G and X now they're all over the place like HTC and Sony.
Keep it fucking simple please.

Anyone else use the Starbucks app?
About a year ago, it was terrible, then they did a major update and it was great.
Now they did another major update and it sucks again. Mine keeps freezing and the balance doesn't refresh properly.

I use it, but only on occasion. Works fine for me, but again I'm not a power user.

They likely had that stuff in the pipeline before or during the acquisition.
