Got a case on the 6P at all? Better not be my headset it was 150 quid and out of warranty
Probably because the Edge has a 16:9 sensor whereas the 6P has a 4:3 sensor so it has to crop down the image down to 16:9.
Motorola has the Moto Maxx 2014 (Moto Droid turbo in the US I think) , for sale this weekend in my country. It goes for around $300. It's kinda tempting with that 3900mAh battery. Other than that it's basically a 5.2" Nexus 6 with capacitive buttons.
Please someone convince it'd be a bad idea to get it.

On my Note 4, I have options for Power Off, Restart, Airplane Mode, and Emergency Mode in the stock Touchwiz ROM. Keep winning, Samsung!

I'm sure this has been discussed a million times in this thread already, but in short, what do you think is the best current round Android watch? Motorola Moto 360? It seems like Motorola is still the only company that make watches that don't look like garbage. Battery life is still a problem, yeah? I use a Samsung Gear Fit which has at least five days of battery life, but it's not exactly an Android Wear, so I'm thinking of upgrading.
I might look into getting a new phone soon, I currently have a Z1 compact and want something a little bigger, plus my power button has recessed so far into the phone its basically flush to the side now.
I am not bothered about being on the cutting each of tech anymore, but I am looking for something new or used around £100-120, light skin and must have micro SD slot.
What are my best options?

No case.
Cyanogenmod lets you root and unroot on the fly and gives you several reboot options.

Damn the screen on the 6 edge plus is so beautiful its the first I've used the phone in a long length of time and its just wow :O
I went ahead and cancelled my pending order and ordered through Google yesterday and right now I just received an email that my Nexus 6p has shipped. That was fast, lol.
I think you should also be receiving an email with shipping info too. It seems Google received a large batch from Huawei, especially the aluminum color.

I went from 5 to 5x, no mistake.
No. We just have a lot of users seeking validation for purchases.
Shitting on them is a social strategy.

Ugh, my iPhone 6 Plus has been crap since the iOS 9 update. Looking at android phones now. What's the best bang for your bucks? I was looking at the 5X but is it better to spend the extra money for the 6P or does it not matter? Moto X pure still a contender?
6P, definitely. Although the Moto X Pure is solid if you want to save $100 bucks, but I think the jump to the 6P is worth it.

Best bang for your buck is probably the Zenfone 2. If you want a true powerhouse for cheap, the Pure Edition or 6P is your best bet.

Sold my 6P today. Made some guy really happy as I sold it at cost.

If he's using a device that requires approval for work stuff, I doubt he's going to be allowed to install a custom ROM

In case some of you are not aware, there are a ton of free comic issues (mostly #1s) being given away for free on the Play Store (US). And by a ton, I mean 40+.

Picked up a 6P today, went from an Xperia Z to this.
Not much to add as I haven't really had a chance to really try it all out. Just making sure I have everything I need off the old phone.
Not sure about getting a screen protector yet.
The package came with a Huawei branded case and headphones.
Someone from another forum took a photo.
I need to look for a better case and a running band for it at some point soon.
Any popular cases that you people can recommend?

The one that Google offers for the 6P is a damn good one. I use it myself and the microfibers on the back feel real nice and not too grippy.
How do you think it would react to a lot of sweat?

No idea honestly.
Aight. Was thinking of getting a case for the gym and that one looked slick but the felt is a bit concerning. Maybe I'll just use my n4 for the gym

I need some help! I have a Japanese friend that is gonna move to Australia for some months and wants to use there an old Japanese Galaxy S3 and I want to be sure that the phone is compatible with the protocols and frequencies used there.
Those are the supposed specs of the phone: http://www.imei.info/phonedatabase/12846-samsung-sc-06d-galaxy-s-iii/. As it's compatible with GSM 850 900 1800 1900 and 850 900 1900 2100 HSPA+ it seems that it should work just fine. Can somebody help me out confirming it?

BTW guys there's an app called Doze on the Platform that emulates the 6.0 feature. Just downloaded it and using it for a day. Too soon for any impressions.

Nah, I usually don't change that much. This is the first hear I've bought a few different ones. Still I have a OPO, because nothing this year is really worth an upgrade. Hopefully the 820 delivers. All I want is all the LTE bands for T-Mobile, fingerprint scanner, power and volume on different sides of the phone, a 5.5in screen, front facing speakers, notification light, and capacitive keys.
Posting from my brand new Nexus 6 (non P)
Got it at Walmart for about USD$250. I wasn't even planning on buying it. Makes my. 2013 Moto G look downright microscopic
Can't wait to root the shit out of it.
My first impression is that the display is kind of... Meh. It has a soft, almost blurry look to it.

walmart is selling them for $250? Is it unlocked?
Walmart in Mexico.
This weekend is "Buen Fin" around here, basically black Friday, so I guess they wanted to clear out their stock.

Guys I need a little bit of help.
I am gonna get a phone for my Grandfather. He is pretty old (in his 80s) so I would like to set it up for him in a way that its the least amount of hassle possible. I gave him my old android phone to test out since this will be his first touch phone and he didnt get on with it too well. Too many options, too many things he could click on.
So I figure on this one, I will install some sort of a launcher. Something that makes everything super large (his eyesight isnt that great) and basically locks out most of the phone settings. All he needs this phone for is calling, texts and camera. No internet, nothing else.
Any recommendations?

Lord no, I don't want these to be stolen as often as iPhones do.
Oh man. Hopefully you have everything backed.
I know who stole it. We have cameras at my work, I watched the footage. The problem is the act cannot be seen from the footage. A wall was blocking the veiw. Motherfucker turned off the phone right away when he stole it. I know the guy. Just say any dumb shit and he's done it. Stab somebody check. DUI check. Drugs check. I bet he's gonna make some good money from it.
