They were using the huge ass Micro USB B 3.0 that no one made accessories for though so people ended up just using it in 2.0 mode.

Let's keep the IR Blaster conversation ongoing. Thinking about emailing a few of the IR app devs to see if its possible in theory.
Also this Type C fiasco. Ridic. Google reps claiming 3.0 and it turns out to be 2.0. No one is going to adopt type c until we start moving to 3.0.
Sammy was doing USB 3.0 2 and 3 years ago. Right now I believe that they are the only ones that can save us. Gotta gimme something more than , "wow I don't have to look at the cable I'm plugging into my phone duh...."
If that's your killer feature for type c, i'm good , don't bother. Rather you give me a proper IR Blaster.
This is how Samsung did USB 3.0. Noooo thank you!
And get out with your IR Blaster. My Qi charging is more important! :lol

Right and that's why they fell back to 2.0. My point is that with a USB 3.0 type c implementation you don't have to worry about that big ass plug. That picture right there is basically the whole reason for type c. Hopefully they always wanted to go back to 3.0, just not at the expense of the port taking up all that space.
I never use wireless charging. Thing is I always want to, its just that always in the back if my mind thing that never panned out. When wireless charging gets upgrading to be faster and further from the charger, I think we will see a huge return to and mainstream adoption of it.
IR Blaster for life though. It's just so damn convenient.
All that being said, still looking forward to the arrival of my 6P. (and Pixel C!)
I did warn people about the USB-C controller situation being a fucking disaster. The logistics of getting them in devices running at USB 3.0 speeds at appropriate price and in the right timescales are significant.
We are not going to see any good USB-C implementations in phones this year. We will see some good ones next September, but not universally. It will start to be common the September after that.
It's essentially HDMI2.0a all over again.

YUp : premium look > features
the fun thing is people then use cases that make the phone thicker and uglier, lol worthy
That said, and not a big fan of that 3D touch thing, but Google now on tap could be one of those features that could benefit from that different input method
yes, yet some people said that if new phones didn't have USB C it was a disaster. Things need to be ready to launch, otherwise is a fucking mess.
Things aren't ever really ready to launch. Or if they are, that means they've already been passed on by the market. No launch of a new standard ever has gone smoothly.
"Disaster" was probably the wrong word, because it's entirely predictable. "Chaos" would be better. Because these situations are always messy and chaotic. Transitions are usually a mess (I think people sometimes misuse this to say "transitions being a mess is okay", which is not true).
USB-C will be great three years from now. But it's just gonna be a long, muddy slog to get there in a way that is going to disappoint a lot of people.
transitions are a mess, sure, but c'mon, what is USB C for?
faster transfer rates? - how many people connect the phone to pcs these days to transfer files? And how often to care about 5 more minutes once every now and then?
fast charging? already available for USB 2.0
reversible connector so you do not breake it ? nice to have, but already a zillion smartphones out there, so no hurries, finish specs, and then launch

That's just a USB with power, hard drives use that also.
Yes, from experience with the play store before it's often earlier.

So is USB 2.0 to 3.0 just data transfer speeds? If so not really a big deal imo. Qi and quickcharge way more important.

..and ordered the Moto X Play after this huge disappointment that was the Euro Nex 5x.
Aw man, finally a new phone. Feels still weird to not go Nexus this time, but whatever, it'll be fine.

Doesn't sound like anyone asked about the 810 it that Google addressed.
That quote from Erica Griffin is correct about the 6+. The 6s+ definitely uses OIS for both pictures and photos though.

I just found out about RemixOS, http://www.jide.com/en/remixos
Looks really neat, windows style OS based on Android.

I am coming from a Zenfone 2 which is almost almost the exact same size and I feel right at home.
The build quality is just much better. If you drop your ZF2 even from a very low place you will most likely see a cracked screen.
I would say the battery is about the same for the two.
I ended up switching because the ZF2 stopped working. The soft keys and the lower quarter of the screen doesn't work at all. I called Asus and they were supposed to send me an email with instructions on how to RMA but it's been two days and nothing so far. I'll have to call them again.
I never dropped my ZF2 or anything. Always took good care of it, and it's disappointing that after two months this happened.

That column was nonsensical.
He talked about how meager Nexus sales are and then later claimed that the Nexus line's low pricing was somehow a huge financial threat to the other OEMs making Android phones.
Why the fuck would a narrowly distributed phone line with tiny sales be so damaging to the OEMs' efforts to turn a profit? The only company hurting financially from the Nexus line is Google, actually.

I was gonna flash on my N9 to try out but its based of 5.0 last time I checked and that base on the N9 was a complete shambles

Also, Vlad Savov's claim that OEMs no longer fuck up stock Android is laughably false.
It's gotten better, but OEMs (Samsung especially) are still doing plenty to screw up the OS with their customized skins.

It's Apple magic dude, the power of the almighty 1GB RAM. Maybe you should pester the ones whod given you this advice for some tips on how theyre able to experience such breathtaking smoothness.

Whoa, not even $50 play credit? Yup, everyone outside of NA got fucked bad. And in yurops case, got shoved a durian. Seriously, at these ludicrous conversions the rest of the world are just morons subsidising the US.

Woah, good that you quoted my post ... totally forgot that
Because the polish price was not for the 6P, but for the 5X, the user on Android Police got them mixed ... so no good deal, after all ...
I did it when I had mine. Using the phone was so much better with those two changes.
Wait for more impressions on the Z5
You got my hopes up so high and then burnt them back down in a flash. Are your my mother?
Note 5 came in last night.
Was using Note 3 since the start of last year, so this feels like a huge step up.
The slimmer body makes it so much easier to hold. I saw some people complain about it being slippery, but I'm not feeling that.
Not too bad in terms of fingerprints either (on gold).
When is Samsung pay supposed to launch?
Edit - Turns out it's already up on US devices. Guess this was the only downside to getting the international.

Man, coming from Lollipop LG G3 (seriously did not like what they did with lollipop) my play seems snappy in comparison.
There is jitter for me, though I mostly experience it when quickly switching between apps when starting up some music apps. Depends on your priorities and mine are battery all day, everyday. The google launcher update also seemed to have smoothed out the home screen by quite a lot, so it gives me hope that it's a software thing that can be fixed. Though the jitter doesn't happen often enough to impact what I do.
I was thinking about this recently. I loved the verge so much in those days. Sucks.
At this point I'm all in on only using Nexus devices so I tend to not really have this problem - so it's more like an Apple release schedule in that regard. If you don't mind OEM cruft though I can see how this is an issue.
Can you let us know what the devs say? It seems like a good project to start.
Is LG going to sell 64 and 128 GB versions of the 5X? The 5X 32 GB is $420. The 6P 32 GB is $500. This gives LG options:
64 and 128 GB 5X with the same specs for $460 and $500 respectively
128 GB version with 3 GB of RAM and 2900 Mah battery for $600.
I preordered a 5X but will cancel it LG decides to release a 64 GB version.
