And it ain't wrong
In fact releasing a tizen watch instead of android wear makes it seem more right add time goes on. It begins.
Don't know too much about Tizen but I can agree with the notion that some OEMs will need to let go at a certain point. Though, differentiation for differentiation sake is useless if that doesn't bring any value to the consumer.
RIP for webOS.
Only used it for a short period of time at retail.

Ahh, but what is a mid-tier phone and a flagship nowadays? The lines have been extremely blurred and I'm super grateful for it.
Didn't mean to interject, sup guys lol.
I have an Alcatel Idol 3, and the experience has been super smooth. 5.5 screen 1080p, Micro SD/Dual Sim, Latest Lollipop, Snapdragon 615 w Mali 400. This phone retails 250 and I got it for less online. I promise I will take pictures, its a lovely phone. The camera sucks ass though, only downside. If you really task it, the processor starts to show but I didn't even realize this thing is an octacore. It makes sense as daily use and tasks are incredibly responsive.
Yes, all the newer phones and higher spec phones are ways faster than the Idol 3, but when people see the phone and hear the price, they tend to be astounded. We are hitting redundancy where it doesn't matter how powerful the hardware is because a majority of people are only doing the same tasks irregardless (i.e. Instagram, Youtube etc)
I appreciate powerful phones, it only pushes the medium forward, but we are definitely in a time where just about any decent spec phone is capable for extensive use. You can safely sit back 2 generations and not feel pressured.

Screen is at the top which is good, but Facebook and Instagram are two red flags. Remove FB and just use the mobile site instead for a while to see if that makes a difference. Chrome can even send you FB notifications if you're desperate for them (it'll prompt you).
Also, give us a screenshot of your reception timeline.

Definitely true. I feel like midrange devices are perfectly capable but it doesn't stop my list for the premium. Say what you will but there's a difference between the idol 3 and an iPhone 6/s6 and its noticeable.
But yeah you can easily get away with using a device like that and be perfectly happy and save money.

Second day of use. I highly recommend uninstalling that trashy Facebook app. No reason it should be that high on the list.
Anyone else think the reception is really good on the 6P? They might have messed with the visual indicator, but I even checked the dbm in Settings and I'm getting much better signal in my house than with previous phones. Especially my basement where I'd have either no signal, or very weak--I'm getting decent signal down there with the 6P.

YIKES
Anyone care to put their 6P up to the challenge for confirmation?

Nobody reads.
The screen was already broken for the bend, meaning it was structurally unsound so it was easy. Don't set your phones on fire.

WhatsApp is killing my 5x battery
No idea what to do
No idea what to do
Uninstall WhatsApp
Did you install a backup or something from previous whatsapp? Try installing it 'clean'.
How can you tell?

I wish, I use it for business almost exclusively. Have groups setup for both my businesses. In India, WhatsApp is just too popular.
Nope, it was a clean install.
Yesterday, it took up 16% of battery, more than Screen.
Ah bugger, it's why I've never got into any messaging app since one bad update or if it doesn't like your device/os combo it can just annoy you. Only thing I can think of is to go into permissions and get rid of anything you don't require, especially location if it uses it. When Chrome went rogue, it was the location permission doing it.

Granular permissions is really the only valuable addition Google has made in Marshmallow. It really should've been Android 5.2.
Well, other than doze giving my Nexus 6 two day battery life on work days.
There's likely to be a full version number every year now like iOS regardless of what's added.

I just denied it camera, location, micriphone permissions. Let's see.
Can't wait to get my 6p in 1.5 weeks.

I opted for a simple wrist strap for my phone, it makes dropping it impossible. On the other hand it's still vulnerable to falling from a table etc. but I reckon most phone breakages are people dropping from their hands.

Only reason I use cases is because I work in a machine shop. I do get thin cases though. For my Note 5 I use the Verus Crystal Bumper.
I can't believe the 5x is almost as big as the note 5. Definitely too big for my preferences, especially with only a 5.2 in screen.
I just don't understand the people that brag about having an all metal phone, only to put a plastic or rubber case on it. Isn't that defeating the purpose? I guess the metal was only a status symbol to them?

Found it better than the alternative on my iPhone 4S of installing every app one by one to see what was killing it.

I think so. I used to get terrible reception at one building in school but the 6P gives me a great signal.
My Adopted case arrived today for my 5X. Seems to fit well and the buttons are easy to press. I feel it adds a bit of bulk to the phone and it feels heavier than I expected. But I mainly bought it so I could hold the phone without it slipping out of my hand and it's grippy enough that I feel comfortable holding the phone.

Hmm, I think I'll jump in on the Frost 64GB 6P when it comes in stock. Still loving my Nexus 6 and it will easily last me the second year (and possibly more) but my dad needs a phone. Will use the 6P for a few days and see if the fingerprint reader is worth the downgrade to a 5.7" screen.
