Why?

What you mean? I know custom ROMs are becoming a small thing more and more but Paranoid Android was my top ROM to use by a mile.

Also OP just open sourced Oxygen OS....that's pretty big if you think about it.

 

[Volotaire]

I saw a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge today in the wild. I hated how it looked in the renders, but in person it looks great.

Was the 32gb 5X for $274.99 american posted already?

AOKP was my favorite ROM, then that kinda died and Paranoid became my go to. They were doing so many awesome things before the other ROM teams. AOKP too when it was newer. OnePlus kinda killed Paranoid when they hired away some of the team.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Looks like Paranoid Android is back

Assuming based on CM13 it's going to have bluetooth audio issues on the Nexus 6P

How is the Compact better than the original Z3? What's good about the Flex 2?

Z3 compact and z3 are essentially same phone. Z3 being smaller having less ram and screen. If price difference between two is substantial than z3 is better deal.

Lg flex 2 is much more powerful than z3. It has same processor as 6p which is loved here. Looks are very unique. I find the phone beautiful. Camera is same as g3.

It all comes down to what you need from phone. G4 to z3 to flex all have good and bad points.

Shit, I just lost my Mi Band
Has anyone bought the new one? I think I'm gonna buy it.

I'm actually not sure tbh. I don't think they used CM as a base before.

I'm mainly looking for battery life, above average performance, timely updates (at least N and maybe O) and a really good camera.

I was looking around on Reddit and the G Flex 2 is still having overheating issues apparently and it still only has Lollipop. Also the price seems extremely cheap for the specs it has even if you take overheating into account so I'm a little cautious.

The price difference with the Z3 and Z3C is around 37$. I think my choice is probably going to be between these 2 and the G4 Plus.

I was assuming it would due to using the CM Theme engine, but possibly not, will take a look tonight and see what's going on with it.

 

[OneEightZero]

Has anyone attempted to Bluetooth a Dual Shock 4 in Android N? Is the Bluetooth stack issue still present?

 

[necrolysis]

Just received an LG V10 as replacement for my old G3 that got boot loop issues after the AT&T MM update. Anybody experienced similar issues with this phone? I read about some instances, so I'm a bit worried my replacement is going to meet a similar fate early on. Hope not though, I'm loving this phone!

Nexus 5X for $269.99...this is a crazy deal.

Guys who's excited for the Moto Z

More like Moto ZZZ, amirite?

 

[Volotaire]

Ah forgot about this.

 

[……forgetit]

Motorola really was my favorite mobile company for years, my first cell phone was from them, the far fall makes me sad.

Lenovo's CEO is pumping up the crowd engadget.com/2016/06/09/len…

Not sure if I would call this pumping....

 

[Volotaire]

Woah.

 

[DrFunk]

$499 for the Phab2 Pro

even I can't think of single reason to buy this

6.4" is too big.

Spoiler

[Hasney]

Shame it's a Lenovo phone. I'd be tempted.

Nexus Tango 6.4"!

Audible growns at the news that Verizon is the initial exclusive launch partner for Moto Z.

Unlocked versions coming in the fall. Welp, dead in the water

 

[LostMyNarbles]

2600mAh battery, on a Quad HD 5.5" display. Give me a freaking break Motorola. Also no headphone jack because lol.

 

[Vanillalite]

This shit total fail doge

The camera protrudes like fucking mega bad. The battery is tiny. The modules look worse than even LG's crack at this. No headphone jack. Home button looks worse than the GS7. Verizon exclusive.

It's the "thinnest" smartphone though guys? Guys? Don't you want thin phones? Who cares about ports and battery?

 

[CronoShot]

Confirmed on Moto's website. Every Moto Z variant in the US is exclusive to Verizon. Unlocked versions are out in "fall."

RIP.

Also, WTF at that tiny ass battery in the non-Force.

That's not a home button though, just a finger print scanner, so much worse.

Smh

[DrFunk]

neither version have a headphone jack

jesus christ

 

[……forgetit]

Did I hear boos from the crowd at the end? Lol

neither version have a headphone jack

jesus christ

But the website says they come with an adapter, that's cool, right? RIGHT?

 

[Jazzy Network]

Lenovo really driving Motorola into the ground huh?

 

[The Faceless Master]

Lenovo did such good work with the thinkpads they said.

this will be just like that they said.

 

[Vanillalite]

Lenovo really driving Motorola into the ground huh?

I think it's more on Moto itself?

Seems more like a bad investment.

 

[Talon]

It was dead in the water prior to announcement.

Moro flagships don't matter.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Ah fuck, my LG G4 bootlooped. I think I'm out of the warranty period too. How the fuck did LG make a flagship phone that literally dies randomly. It's like the Xbox 360 RROD but my whole life is on my phone...

Any way to get my stuff off the phone (and erase my personal info) before I either recycle or pay to replace my phone?

 

[……forgetit]

Yeah, I'm kinda with you on this one, a big design shift like that had to be in the making for awhile. I doubt this is on Lenovo.

 

[Junior Mint]

Moto designs always stunk. The Moto X 2013 had a lot of promise and since then they've gotten uglier and uglier. I think peak ugliness was probably tied at Nexus 6 / Moto X Style

This experimental Moto Mod is inssane. A circular display that mirrors the front.

[Volotaire]

The best part of the conference was the bendable phone and, to a lesser extent, foldable tablet. I can't wait until that tech becomes commercial, and then affordable.

 

[this_guy]

The ZTE Axon 7 looks nicer than the new Motos. $450 for top of the line specs and ZTE updates their flagships. Let's see what the new OnePlus looks like.

 

[Fatalah]

Are you nuts?! Lenovo has torn Motorola's talent apart.

Motorola had like 100 engineers behind the original Moto X. Such a killer phone.

RIP OG Motorola.

It's not just their flagships that die randomly, it's all of their phones.

I'd assume that it's their software and not their hardware, but it even keeps me from wanting LG Nexus devices.

 

[reKon]

Lenovo has got to be trolling here. Yes, at the expense of their mobile division.
