Yeah, I was confused earlier. It's the latter.
And I'm using Pyrope. It's so fast compared to Firefox Mobile. My phone almost turned into lava when I last tried Chrome.

I couldn't find the Nexus 6P thread for some reason so I'll just post it here.
I plugged in my phone last night and started streaming Netflix to Chromcast and fell asleep. My phone did not charge at all during this time and died at some point in the night. I woke up and my phone was off and wouldn't charge as if the charger were dead. I held the power button down for what seemed like a very long time and the phone started to boot at which point the battery was at like 60% and the charger started working just fine.
Has anyone had this issue before? This happened a few months ago as well. The wall charger isn't even warm. It's like the phone is refusing power and it doesn't even try.

Did you get the charging signal? I found that it's very easy to get lint, sawdust, etc in the charging port and it won't charge. A bit of cleaning with a pin did the trick.

Not even sure. I just plugged it in and set on my bed stand and fell asleep.
The part I'm more confused about is the drain to 0% followed by not charging, then rebooting the phone to find it at 60+%.
The cord didn't come out of the port the whole time I was dealing with this, so it doesn't have anything to do with the connection being obscured.
Moto Z Play. People are getting 8-11 hours of screen on time apparently.

sounds about right. Easy/obvious picks for most of these.
RIP Cyanogenmod official nightlies.

I'll be a bit wary of potentially shady, unofficial builds going forward I think. Googy, save me with Pixel 2 that's worth the price!

Massive blow to the custom ROM scene. I know they'll be back and unofficial ones will be about but even so it's a blow and it sucks.

I've heard so many good things about this phone. Sadly, it still is overpriced. In Chile, it's 580USD

Any good ways to get ring tones? I'm wary of apps trying to get too many permissions or loading ads.
The pixel has minimal options.

Putting that bullet through Google's head really worked out for them. They sure took Android away from Google!

I'm totally new to android, is there a way to remove ads from browser/apps?
The Faceless Master

browser: depends on the browser.
apps: some you can pay for an ad-free version, others are just ad supported.
there's also custom DNS providers or root apps to block ad domains systemwide.

Ad blocking on Android kinda sucks. Unless you root (who even wants to do that anymore?), you basically have Chrome forks that don't even do proper cosmetic filtering or VPN hacks.

Anyone having any experience having issues with android devices and wifi?
All of the families android devices (phones and tablets) are sporadically thrown off our WiFi for a second or two and then it reconnects.
On my phone I get a exclamation mark on my WiFi icon, then the wifi icon is gone and a few seconds later it's back.
It's incredibly infuriating and my wife is about the trash all of our tablets in rage. We've made no changes to our router or WiFi. The issue has to my knowledge arrived out of nowhere.
Any way to handle and fix this? Is it a Android bug?

If that's happening that's a router problem, no way/highly impossible multiple devices having issues at once and it be the devices
Check the number of IP's the router spits out and other QoS

sounds like a router problem.

For browsers, the Samsung Browser probably has the best ad blocker I've used. You can probably download an apk for non-samsung devices to get it I think (not sure if it's in the play store).
Adguard works great and doesn't require root.

Opera has had ad blocking under it's data savings menu for awhile now and it's decent and a chrome fork
Doesn't block everything just a good chunk

Yeah it's an S6, for now I've downloaded adblock browser but I don't know if it's the best

AdGuard does work well blocking ads in Chrome but it can be a huge battery drain.

Pyrope has a built in ad block.
Yeah but it's not perfect. Some ads pass through the filter.
pyrope behaves a bit different from your usual chromium stuff, like it doesn't have google sync i think, and it doesn't close the tab with the 'back button' if you open it from an external link?

I'm happy with Firefox + Adblock
If you are saying that based on Android battery manager, that's not correct.

i assume your dad would like battery life better so probably moto z play?

what should i try on this Gear VR?
hmm... wonder what their excuse is for iOS. Their vpnblock there kills my battery like no other (i still prefer it to the alternatives
I'm not familiar with iOS's vpn setup but the way it works on Android isn't that heavy unless they do something really stupid.
For performance the OP3T, but if you're looking for maximum battery life the Play is king.
Only thing to keep in mind with the Play is you may have to manually tweak memory performance settings on a per app basis if you run into issues.
For instance, I frequently want to run Google maps navigation with Pocketcasts or Play Music on in the background, but given the aggressive memory and performance management Motorola uses it would frequently just kill either the audio app or navigation when I was running them both while driving. I had to change the memory settings on those particular apps to get it to stop doing that.
Smash hit
Is the newest android much better than the previous ones? My girlfriend has a Nexus 7 that is on 6.0 (I believe) so I am not sure what is new in the 7.0 now... And honestly the 5.0 -> 6.0 didn't improve almost anything, it seems like google reached Android limit.
I am looking for a phone to last some years, thinking about getting a Oneplus, because of the big RAM, what do you guys think? Is the camera decent?
