I went to the thread, people with the samsung SoC were complaining about performance & battery life issues that sure sucks for them. Look for TSCM SoC equipped phones having a better market value in the future.
I'm sure the issue will get equal coverage to all other apple related news though!!
It's interesting how people with custom Lollipop roms already had most of the cool features of 6.0.
The thing that companies in general should have figured already is that what people ask is not what they really want. They want to have that unexpected feature that they thought they didn't need, and if they don't get that, they become disappointed 'cause all they got was just what they wanted/predicted.

Instagram is there, the app is just barebones. There is a proper universal app coming for it soon though, and Facebook are also making the FB app this time around rather than Microsoft.
Android apps that require Play services can be very hit and miss. It's not a jailbreak that's needed, just enabling developer mode in the Insider Preview. Then you can side load the APK.
Developers haven't bothered yet because as far as I know neither the iOS nor android tools are finished yet. Likely won't see it until November when the OS is likely to roll out.

I'm sure Google loved that stupid "Scroogled" smear campaign too. MS deserves the cold shoulder they've gotten from Google regarding Windows Phone and Google apps.
Coming from 5.1? Make sure to start fresh and wipe everything including the data partition.
I thought this was the iWay thread!
Unless you have a samsung iphone6s instead of a tsmc one. Lol if true. Like pannel lottery on some sony phones.
Thank you. Was hoping to get a Moto G 3rd generation to replace my busted 1st gen, but it's backordered until November.
Oooops. Little hands?

I saw something similar, but I went to Best Buy and they had an unlocked Moto G 3rd generation. You could consider getting it from there.

Anyone tried out WiFi calling in 6.0 yet?
Eh, I just don't like to deal with that stuff these days. It's cool that it's an option for those who like it, but I just run stock these days because when I'm tinkering with computers/code all day it's nice to have a phone that Just Works.
Before you were only able control all of those when media was currently playing, it had the little arrow. Now you can control all of them whenever you want.
First make sure everything is synced/backed up somewhere as this will do a complete wipe, then unzip everything in the factory image download and:
Change the paths for your OS if needed.

Guys, what's the best way to scan an Android phone for Malware?
I've gotten quite a few pop-ups from a malicious site, pertaining to being an iPhone 6 or 7 tester.
I've noticed that most, if not all of this is due to MeetMe. Every time I used the app today, it would send me to that site with the pop-up. I didn't click anything, and have used Malware Bytes to scan regularly, with no indications of malware.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Just pick Always when the pop up comes up.
I took off my phone off the "wireless charger" at around 9 AM this morning.
This was the state of the battery at 6 PM:
Standby seems to have improved greatly.
You still see some wake locks there though.
I'm gonna assume Doze is even better on the 6P with the extra low powered sensor.

Good stuff. You're signal reception was sketchy but that's pretty good. Hopefully the 6P is great. Thanks for your results.
Flashed my Nexus 7.
The Android restore situation is such a joke.
"Touch one of your other devices to begin setup"
I touch my Z3C. It starts installing all the apps that were on the Z3C, rather than the ones for my tablet. Several of which don't even work on a non-Xperia device.
FFS Google. Is it really that hard to have an automated drive backup that stores a) the SMS database and b) the exact applications installed, launcher positions and the wallpaper I use?
Is it really???

Do we have a thread on phone accessories? If so, forgive me for my post and maybe someone can point me to it.
Otherwise, I'm interested in getting a bluetooth connector for my car audio/aux connection. Something small and low profile and that will auto connect to my phone. Was wondering what would be some good suggestions for that. Thanks!

You should have skipped that part and it would have used a backup that your Nexus 7 uploaded instead.
Reading comprehension?
Tapping another devices copies the other device's setup. This is not the way to do a back-up restore. There is even a "?" somewhere next to the option if you weren't sure what it meant.
Edit:
Not a question mark but there is a "learn more" link
It also clearly states it copies the other device's setup

Don't believe Phonearena, the guy who uploaded the video (which was used as source for the Phonearena artible) said that the screen bug wasn't because of overheating.

When do we see 6p and 5x reviews hitting?
I thought screen bug really wasn't because of the overheating? It's possible I misread that somewhere.

I don't know but I need that 6P review.
Did Google even send out review units?
how can a device like this have low sales? It's a fucking $99 phone running stock android with LTE and same chipset as the Moto G.

The Z3+ is coming soon to the US guys!
Fortunately my sources tell me it will most likely be released as soon as the Z7 gets announced next year. Hype!

Anyone else getting malicious ads/code on thier nexus 5 on gaf? Page loads straight into the play store for "words with friends" exit out of it back to my browser (Opera) and the only ads are g2a ads

Yeah I keep getting redirected to either the Google Play store or some weirdly named site that I immediately back the shit out of before it loads.

Unzip even the zip that appears after the tgz file?
Yep yep. Been having those g2a ads for a while, too. Which is hilarious since they aren't a trusted key seller.

You mean that Now on Tap video? The camera icon has a dogfooding badge on it, so they're probably on Google's campus or it was filmed at the event last week. Not to say devices haven't been sent to reviewers yet, but I don't think that video suggests this being the case.
You're probably right.
It was inside a case, so I thought that maybe the reviewer was using as daily driver or something like that.
Btw, out of curiosity, how many of you guys use screen protectors? I've been using on all my precious phones but I think I won't bother next time. Touching the glass feels so much better.
