Neither. The Snapdragon 810 just wants to fill its belly one last time and gulps down the last portion of your battery.

I literally had no issues like this with Marshmallow. Only when Nougat came around.
Mine will almost always switch off at 15%. From what I can tell, basically without fail.

I was kidding. Although it does seem like Google gave up fighting the 2015 Snapdragons with Nougat.
Did u try a factory reset?

My 2014 Moto X is randomly dying between 40-45% now. It's definitely on its last legs. Moto Z Play (or OP3T) to the shopping list, I think.
No. Random wake locks still and Bluetooth has been shittastic. I'm going to upgrade to 7.1.1 and factory reset with the hope that it fixes the problems.

Weird, my son's 2013 Moto X is still working perfectly, other than the random static coming out of the speaker. That phone is a beast, and we've seen no battery issues.
Also don't restore from previous setup, redownload everything from Google Play manually. I didn't have issues after that on Nougat.

Nope, but I may do the factory reset if 7.1.1 doesn't fix my shit. I'm always just paranoid about doing factory resets.

Picked up a Moto Z play yesterday...battery life indeed is amazing and it shows no signs of any lag.
My droid turbo did that at 10% when I had the battery saver turned on once it hit 15%. Without the battery saver it would drain completely down. I just assumed it was a built in safety thing so you had just enough for an emergency call.

Not really. Go for something better. So many sales this week.

my pixel c is still going strong... and that's with mixed use between me and my 2-3 year old daughter (when her ipad mini battery dies out from a constant stream of youtube kids).
glad i got the smaller memory. i don't usually put too much on tablet storage but for some reason i always buy the most expensive version. love it with the keyboard. though it's really not for any type of work use. matter of fact i'll almost never get used to it.
keep wondering why the damned on screen keyboard never pops up until i remember, oh yeah, cuz the keyboard.
not buying another android tablet though. waiting for a really nice 360 degree chromebook. maybe one that looks sort of like an hp spectre. hopefully google makes a new pixel that keeps the pixel styling but goes 360. that's the only tablet replacement for me.
although my daughter dumped her cousin's nexus 7 2013 into dishwater lol. man her cuz was salty. we ended up buying her a galaxy tab a 7" the next morning to replace it. i'd say she came up cuz we got her a 64gb micro sd so she will never run out of space for her games again.... that nexus was starting to get super slow on her. so in essence my daughter was just doing her a favor.

Pixel C is an awesome tablet. Very annoying Google rushed it's launch and people just assume there are no great Android tablets.
Really hope Google does a new pixel tablet and Android TV streamer this spring instead of or in addition to the new watches.

so much for google having some secret sauce.
Although op3 wasn't a slouch either.
They really do need to get that camera better for op4 and up their updates game and then oneplus will really live up to 'never settle'.

Please, PLEASE OP, give us CDMA support so I can get it on Verizon.

The op3 is very impressive but it has many advantages that help it push past the Google software magic in the XL. I mean it states it right in the video.
- Lower res screen
- Higher clocked CPU
- Faster flash
- Older but much lighter operating system when it comes to performance.
I bet the pixel crushes the op3 once the one plus gets Nougat. Even with the hardware differences.
So, here's a question. Not sure if it belongs here or in a more general computer chat thread, but I'll start here and see where it goes.
I'm going to be at my parents' over Christmas, and they're not in the UK. I'd like to keep up with The Grand Tour, but the region differences are likely to mean that I won't be able to access the UK's Amazon Prime from there. I *do* have an SSH tunnel I can use to the UK on my laptop, but that's likely to be too slow a connection to watch over. I *can* download episodes to my Android devices, but it appears they don't allow it to a PC.
So: Is there a way I can - without root access - get my Android devices to connect (through my Laptop if necessary) all key traffic through the SSH tunnel so it is, for all intents and purposes, in the UK?
Ultimate goal: Connect to Amazon Video on my tablet, download the episode overnight (slowly), then watch it the following day via a Chromecast.
Feasible? I have a strong impression it *ought* to be, but I'm struggling to figure out how to bridge the gap between my Android device and the SSH tunnel.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Lenovo finally releasing a Snap 430 phone over in Asia. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.
The 17 Moto low end line would be killer with a spec bump from the 410 to the 430.

3G is a battery whore on Verizon.
What are people's thoughts on 6P v OP3T? I have the chance to sell the 6p for pretty much what I bought it for and I'm tempted to upgrade to the OP3T for only a little bit more cash.
Priorities are stock-ish interface, longevity of support (I like flashing custom ROMs anyway), battery life.

Virtual Router to create a reverse Hotspot to your tablet. That's where I would start

I need ebook reader app with left-hand mode (touching left turns pages forward) and no ads. Are there any? I've tried three popular ones but every one lacked that feature.
On my old Lumia there i had a ebook app that allowed this... Heck, it had quick-switch for handedness. Was great but i can't recall the name nor am i sure it is even available for Android.
EDIT Looks like it was Tucan Reader it seems, and it doesn't have Android version. Sigh...

You can force Right-to-Left layout mode at the Administrator level. Try that first to see if the app responds in-kind
http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-...ds-layout-better-for-left-handed-use-0159391/
I'm not interested in left-hand mode for the whole phone, just ebooks. I'm right-handed actually, i just often read ebooks with phone in left hand but i may switch hands occasionally so a quick option would be appreciated.
Switching the whole phone is not "quick".
Edit: besides, it seems the right-to-left mode doesn't even work for this phone, found an app that offers it within the app...
Basically I need an app that allows defining what different touch locations do.
Certainly I went with a Chromecast Audio. Works great. A shit ton cheaper than a Sonos (and probably has access to more services - well aside from Apple ones as Apple Music does not support google cast).
Guess it depends on what hardware you currently have and what services you use. I don't use any Amazon ones so I never was interested in Amazon hardware options.

what do you mean by vr?
axon 7 will support daydream VR whenever they get nougat, and that has metal body.
So does pixel kinda.
Well it's not like have other options. Just like the people who wait years hoping for mediocre mac upgrades.
I guess that's the advantage of having platform monopolies.

If you're on Verizon the Moto Z and Z Force already have 7.0 Daydream. Pretty sure they're on sale from like Best Buy right now.
Indeed. The Z is excellent so far, I got it last week.

Debating between picking up a S7Edge and a OP 3T for my dad.
What's the biggest advantage that the 7Edge has over the OP aside from wireless charging and waterproofing (two things that would be irrelevant for my pops).

not irrelevant if you get him a wireless charger too!

Ooh Moto Z might get a Tango mod. As long as it's not super expensive I might give it a whirl.
