Pretty good. A bit janky but pretty good.

Guess I'll be going back to Nexus. Still waiting for marshmallow and today I hear all about Android N already.

 

[ctfg23]

Have you modified the /system on your phone at all? Custom recovery?

No. I've never modified or rooted or anything. My 6P didn't have the March security patch yet, would that have made a difference? That's the only thing I can think of that maybe could have caused anything.

Can you upgrade to N without wiping data?

 

[BahamutPT]

Can you upgrade to N without wiping data?

Yes, use the Android Beta Program sign-up and you'll receive an OTA update to N and all subsequent updates, including official release.

It will wipe your data only if you decide un-enroll your device from the program (it'll give you an OTA rollback to Marshmallow).

That's amazing. Thanks.

N runs pretty well, I don't see anyone needing to roll back unless their device totally spazzes out. Pretty decent update. Shame I'll never get it on my phone but multi window on my nex9 is a good addition.

 

[Red Devil]

there have been many many "Android Phones" that have even more battery life than those listed in that chart. Android is not just 5 phones. http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3

even in the chart you are listing mate is above iphones.

I love how the second gen Moto E is sitting there in the top 40 at 82 hours.

*hugs his second gen Moto E*

So...I should buy a (discounted) Pixel C now...?

It really is a good tablet.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

I love the new notification look. The recents could use a bit more differentiation, but I definitely prefer it to the old 3D style.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

It really is a good tablet.

Only issue I have is the motion blur on the screen is fricken terrible.


Side note you few with the tablet who flashed N is it just me or is there a red light beside the front facing camera now suddenly swithcing on? Only happens on the lock screen swell.

There's no Face Swap Live app on Android? Garbage ecosystem is garbage. This phone is going back.

Nice.

TouchWiz had call blocking in FroYo

When you're pushing like 5 pixels it makes sense.

Sorry no app is going to fix that face

buuuuuuurrrrrn

 

[BahamutPT]

TouchWiz had call blocking in FroYo

It isn't really a new Android feature at all. Android has had a per-contact "All calls to voicemail" setting since Eclair or Froyo.

This "new" feature is almost exactly the same but presented in a different way: you add a number to a single list and those calls will go to voicemail. Which undeniably is WAY more efficient than adding a number to your contacts and setting it individually.

The actual new features are cloud/device sync and the extension of that blocklist to other apps. Block a number once and all apps can check the list and stop communications from it.

No more optimizing apps stuff in N? That's great news.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Was just reading that. Sounds so good. And apps will even install a lot faster now.

 

[kami_sama]

Nope. While it might not be optimized on install, it will be later, when you don't use your phone.

 

[Kuros]

Any news on changes to the app backup in N? I just had a look at my Google drive and not one third party apps data is backed up. It's garbage. I wish Google would go with a sticky approach on occasion.

 

[ArchAngel]

N-droid is really great for me. Just the hamburger menu in the settings is strange.

 

[ctfg23]

Long pressing the flashlight icon in the drop down menu opens the camera now.

 

[Bots are better than you]

Just finished flying over all the news on AP, Google dropped megatons big time ... randomly, out of nowhere. Dev preview, OTA OS-Beta, performance updates for the 5X and the 6P, hot damn.

Are those performance updates for the 2015 Nexus devices working? If this years devices are disappointing or too expensive and delayed (in Europe) again, i might fall back to an 6P then.

I hope all this really leads to device/hardware news at I/O.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

I'm quite interested in the 5X performance as well, although if it's still bad (fuck forced encryption) I might just get Cyanogenmod for it. The price has dropped really low on many retailers, slightly cheaper than the original Nexus 5 now. 6P remains super expensive because Google really fucked over Europe with these things.

 

[Polarburr]

N has been amazing. Although I think I found a bug.

Driving right now and I'm using the Tronsmart USB C charger. It's not charging rapidly.

So either it's the charger or the N beta. Are you guys still quick charging with the wall charger? Can't test now cause yeah... I'm driving. Haha

Actually, it just doesn't say it's quick charging on the lockscreen anymore.

I still went from 19% to 100% in less than an hour last night.

Woah. Was this even before the N release? Never noticed..

 

[Aiii]

No, it's on N, probably just a bug or an oversight.

 

[ArchAngel]

They finally fixed the buggy swipe down lag on notifications in nova launcher!

 

[Groof]

Long pressing the flashlight icon in the drop down menu opens the camera now.

this is a really strange shortcut lol

 

[Quasar]

Glad they finally have a easy beta process to join that doesn't involve messing with images.

Just installed the Nexus player beta. Not sure if any features are exposed on this one.

 

[Hasney]

Only complaint I have about notifications is that I wish they had more of a gap between them like they used to. Looks good otherwise.

Honestly, get my browsers working again and I could easily recommend using it to anyone.

 

[Bboy AJ]

6P N users seem to think it's daily driver ready.

It probably is even on a 6 as long as you're use to how slow Chrome is. I got so used to the speed of CAF it's a little jarring.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Man, this Zenpad sure as heck isn't getting N, is it? I'd buy the Pixel but I'm a fan of smaller tablets. A 10" tablet isn't my thing anymore.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

6P N users seem to think it's daily driver ready.

Apart from Google messenger constantly looking up on me (and some stuttering) it's been fine for me.

 

[Polarburr]

More crashes on my end.

Waze keeps crashing even if it's closed.
Google now crashes.

So that movie Lazer Team from rooster Teeth is £5.99 HD on YouTube to watch

On the Google Play Store it's £7.99 HD....um what?

 

[Wreav]

I'm still not sure why you aren't banned from trolling in here.

Complaining that the most popular app in our current zeitgeist isn't on one of the biggest mobile OSs in the world is hardly trolling.

S7 is ok, but typical Samsung outstanding hardware crippled by trash software.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I like that the animations are so much faster now for just about everything on N.

This isn't all of it though right? ARe they introducing more features and whatnot with monthly updates?

 

[Bboy AJ]

I don't know what faster animations mean because I always, always change my developer settings option of animation speed to 0.5x

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

there's less wasted time with effects but there are still nice transitions. Like when you use the multitasking button, the app you tap on fills the screen in one quick smooth animation.

With that said, quick app switching is also good stuff.

Don't you dare pay for this trash. Terrible movie. I can't believe I even watched it all the way through.

 

[brotkasten]

Yup. As nice as they are, 1.0x speed is just so. slow. I couldn't deal with that.
