Both are terrible names.
Wait for October to see the new Nexus phones and some other new releases.
Also, the LG G Flex 2 is only $250 right now unlocked. Amazing price for near flagship hardware. It's essentially an LG G3.5
Ahhh, I missed the part where the earbuds can be swapped out. That's actually dope then.

5 days with my Honor 7. Not impressed by the battery life. Mobile radio is being kept active, which is a known Lollipop issue so I can't blame Huawei for that one, but the phone barely seems to sleep either which I'm going to guess is down to EMUI.
I'd love to get cyanogen or an aosp build on here because I think they battery should be capable of a lot more than its currently giving.

My son's 2013 Moto X on Verizon Wireless just got the 5.1 update overnight, and it's pretty nice! Looks and performs better than it did on KitKat, and here's hoping it improves the battery life. Probably going to do a factory reset on it this weekend just to be safe.
I had similar issues when got my Ascend G7, but once I changed a few options that EMUI had buried somewhere inside its endless settings I am getting really good battery life

As someone who can't stand in-ear plugs, the only way to make Bluetooth acceptable is this:
And even then I'd only get it for the remote buttons.
Those are cool but they wouldn't stay in during a workout

Jesus, I'm sorry. Apparently I wasn't clear enough.
That square thing is a Bluetooth transmitter where you plug in whatever headphones you like and connects to your phone. It's not a headphone model or MP3 player.
It was my fault for not posting the link with the picture, but I even said that I hate that in-ear shit, so why would I post or recommend in-ear plugs?

Can someone please try to help me. I have a K3 note and it is on a clean nexus ROM. The date is shown numerical in the quick settings bar like this:
And I want it to look normal like this:
Is there someway to change it? I am rooted. Maybe a file to edit or something? I am assuming the fix would be fairly easy if I knew where to look.

It's just one of these, I don't get what the big deal is..
Imma stop now, yea I glanced at it and was trying to think how these would be good for someone who doesn't like in ear. I even read the Sony website and didn't put it together that it could be detachable. I was being a dumbass.The bose bluetooths are so damn comfortable, baller budget though. Prefer them over majority of the $300-500 ones I tried.
I use bluebuds though for majority of the time, there's something very durable feeling about them that I like. Usually they are my go to when I'm working out, doing dishes, or cleaning the car.

I used Android Pay today at Sprouts and when getting my oil change/inspection. It's becoming more and more useful, especially since now it goes directly to the CC company (giving me points).

Always safest to wait and see what the newest devices will be, if you can wait.
I've been really happy with my Note 4 (the one exception being that I can't root it since I'm on AT&T) and just got a 64GB SD card for it which is pretty great upgrade over my old 16gb card. Only thing that ever lags a bit is when I push the recent apps button, it always takes a second or two.

There's a rumour from korea that the S7 will have a magnesium alloy unibody design. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but that is a metal that still supports wireless charging?
I personally don't care. Quick charging > wireless. Throw that Snapdragon 820 in there and we good.

Cheapness of hardware makers, and battery life. Though I'd think with Bluetooth LE could make a long life remote. But yeah a tv remote can last years.
Makes me wonder how the new appletv remote will go.

I use wireless charging more so you are wrong.

hmm your evidence is anecdotal, I don't use it so I'm right.
That's nice. Unfortunately its like 4 years too late. Now they're playing catchup after fiddling with useless things like SD slots and scrolling with your eyes.
Who do you guys think will be the biggest Android manufacturer this time next year?

Still samsung lol. Everyone else has such low sales theyre irrelevant. If we're talking worldwide then Huawei.
If the S7 goes back to S5 pricing, it'll be Samsung. Hell, it'll likely be Samsung regardless, but if they still think of themselves as premium for some reason, it'll be too close to call for everyone competing for scraps. Motos shit the bed it seems, Sony has a great offering but can't get on US networks, lolHTC... So maybe LG will be the closest competitors?
Samsung will still have the biggest install base in general, so that's just based on 2016 sales.

It happened to me but only because i accidentally tapped the "available offline" button. You may be doing the same thing.

Sarcasm. How does it work?
like this /s
5.1.1 solves that. Now Note 4 is really what should've been since day one.
Only took a year, huh?

Wireless charging is the best and you're wrong.

Yes. I don't get why Google hates SD cards. 4K video takes a fuckload of space and moving them to a MicroSD would be freaking handy.
You don't know much about M, I guess.
Jzero

No, please educate me you vague genius.
Edit: just read about it. But that won't help if Google doesn't include a MicroSD card slot
