I don't think Qi works through metal. As long as they keep the metal back, we won't have a flagship with Qi from HTC.
Please correct me if I'm wrong (I want to be).

Yeah, I dont think I know a single person with the Z3 here in Toronto. It's pretty much an iPhone v Nexus/Samsung world. Why's it being recalled, though?
You struggled to get one, how can you even entertain the thought of 2? It's like you're a masochist for Google. Stawhp.

iphone 6 doesn't have it but the phone is a surprisingly fast charger but obv nowhere near turbo charging. Hopefully becomes standard this year.

I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
I'm guessing that whatever the next phone I buy is probably going to be good enough to last me 3 or more years, given how my Note 2 still runs all my apps and games well except for one (the Rayman Runner sequel gets some slowdown).
So with my current phone lasting that long, I'd rather rely on having a battery I can swap out myself easily and cheaply vs. having to send my phone to the manufacturer and have them do it for who knows how much or how long it will take.
And as much as I'd love 64GB minimum, I doubt that'll happen anytime soon. Apple's never had SD cards and only just this year have they finally made it the second tier storage space (for $100 more). Plus having 64GB internal doesn't mean I wouldn't want SD card storage too, especially if I want to download high quality videos on my phone when my internal memory is filled with 10GB apps of the future.
I just preorderd a Saygus V2. How badly have I screwed myself over? No money has changed hands at all and I refuse to buy something without at least 20 video reviews from multiple sources.
Allegedly, more than likely false rumor, the G4 comes with a 3K resolution It took me three days to get used to a 2K display and now they're pushing the bar higher. Developers are somewhere cursing LG for this if it happens.

Ah, make sure you have sufficient current (or voltage?) supplied. Qi is inherently inefficient, so you need a nice AC adapter.
I threw away the junk one that came with my pad and got this due to the rave reviews. I noticed an immediate improvement in charging speed.
I support this only if it doesn't have "OK Google" but instead has "Yo Gus".
Just came home and gf said that her phone (One M8) looks a bit different after an big update. I'm "WTF" (have the same One M8). Update again? Phone just updated to 4.4.4 like a month ago. Went into my phone and checked for software updates and boom: 5.0 update available (850 MB size). Wooohooo. Love updates (i even like watching bars growing).

What carrier? And I love that lollipop song from the intel laptop commercial.
She has Vodafone branding but carrier is o2 and i have o2 branding (carrier o2). Germany.
Don't believe it, but if so, cross that one off the list.

a part of me wants the htc m9 but body is telling me no but my mind... my mind is telling me yes
Oh god, I hope it has a 3k screen. This will be hilarious.
Do you wait until a phone gives you an erection or something?

I've never tried, so I just did and found I needed to be about 5 inches away for it to focus. Fine enough for me as 5 inches still appears really close, but probably not for others. I wonder if it's possible with one of the 'manual' camera apps.

Google Now is the new notification center.
Glad it's not my phone being defective. Thanks.
Phonearena just recently posted leaked images of older Samsung Galaxy S6 prototypes as well as alleged renders of the Samsung Galaxy S6.

First Samsung flagship to look cool since the S2... i hope it's real and it remains like this.
This a megaton. Some other companies would announce this at a conference with commercials ready to roll on TV but Google tosses it out via a search blog on Friday afternoon ¯\_(ツ

Its not a recall, just can't sell them until Sony pushes an update. When the phone uses its hotspot on 1900mhz it sends out too much something something which is above some government regulation.

Considering that S2 copies the iphone3gs and now S6 copies iphone5s

Crazy how a simple metal frame makes a phone design that much classier, Samsung should have changed their design lead long time ago.
You're right. The common workaround is a plastic logo on the back or something. Or maybe that's just the common "wish" from nerds...I can't tell you a phone that has implemented it.
My Nexus 5 sometimes struggles. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the Google Camera app.

I just got a new Samsung tab 10.5 with a Sim card. Within an hour of setting it up I received a text to it giving me a twitter pin. Is this normal? I hadn't even set up my twitter account yet.

YES!
4K for sure in 2016!

I think as the cameras get better on the phones, the SD card support and swappable batteries will become that much more important to those that have the camera as a priority.
There is definitely something up with focusing on Android. Nexus 6 takes INSANE pics when something standing still. Better than any iPhone I've used. As soon as something starts moving at a decent speed, it's the luck of the draw whether it's in focus or not.
This issue better be software related...

Constantly improving screens is such bs if the human eye can't even see the change anymore. Save that for battery life
maybe we'll get to that point someday.
Even if it is, Google will never directly address it. Better off buying a Moto X Pro when they finally come out in the US (or flashing that ROM), since Moto will be all over the software updates.

Telus and Bell are selling the Z3 again. Software update is available.
LG G3 laser autofocus.
Currently using the Motorola X 2nd gen, which I think uses the same sensor as the G3, but the camera is definitely inferior, especially in low light situations. Optical image stabilization, laser autofocus, and software all make a difference.

I just checked with manual focus, and the minimum seems to be about 5-6cm, so about 2 inches?
Focusing with the google app has always been ass for me, and it seems to have less features each time they update it.
