It's perfectly fine to not take the update, several flagship phones have not even begun their lollipop rollout yet. Just know that once your phone has received an OTA push, it's going to be annoying about wanting to apply it.

Some UI annoyances aside for me: 5.0.1 on the N4 = fine 5.0.2 on the N7 (2013) = fantastic Apparently the .0.2 release wasn't supposed to fix the memory issues, but I can say my own tablet is behaving much better than .0.1 and at least as good as any other release I've had on it

Common sense would suggest you decline any update that came out before Google fixed the memory leak, mostly if you're on a carrier/not using a Nexus. That's 5.0 and 5.0.1. They've been silent since updating the bug reporting page, which leads me to believe they're working with carriers for widespread deployment. That could be optimism speaking though.

I've been running a custom rom (AIKP) which is still in beta. But I've had faaar less issues with it than I did with stock lollipop, it looks like they're at least trying to fix some of the issues. Of course that could be due to me installing the nightlies every day or two so my phone is getting restarted a lot  baka kaba posted:Anyone getting weird charging rates on the Pops? My N5 has been showing some wacky times, like 4hrs remaining at 50%, not charging at all if I'm using it (at minimum brightness). Today it was at 85% left idle, said 1 hour remaining, I turned it off for 20 mins and it was at 100% when I turned it back on. Yeah I've noticed this, a few times I've looked at my battery meter and have seen jumps on the graph even though it wasn't plugged in

robodex posted:Yeah I've noticed this, a few times I've looked at my battery meter and have seen jumps on the graph even though it wasn't plugged in Nah it's not that, it behaves completely normally except it charges incredibly slowly. It's like it thinks it's plugged into half a USB port or something. The drain while using it or idle is what you'd expect - it just doesn't suck in the juice unless you turn it off, and then it charges at the usual 1% every 90 seconds or whatever

Pyroxene Stigma posted:Common sense would suggest you decline any update that came out before Google fixed the memory leak, mostly if you're on a carrier/not using a Nexus. Depends. Just because something is 5.0 or 5.0.1 from an OEM doesn't mean they didn't roll some further enhancements into the ROM. Motorola has done this frequently, backporting updates from later versions of Android to earlier ones. It also depends where the fix is. If it's part of the kernel, it's possible it may not be an issue on other devices or got caught and fixed.

Not yet, it's the one that came with the phone - but it's fine when it's off, and it was fine before! And there's a bunch of other people on the internets complaining about seeing it since updating, I smell a mystery

The camera in the Nexus 4 is, as you know, complete garbage. The camera is an important feature to me (this is why I'm coming from the Nokia 1020). Also 16gb of storage might be enough for a Sega Genesis or something but not for me. Rooted with 5.0.2 though its quick and responsive (likely just by comparison as a result of coming from WP). I'm thinking about the OPO, $350 isn't a big investment. Is there anything else out there at a similar price point that should be on my radar? Obviously not Samsung, HTC, etc, something more common you hear about all the time.

If camera is important to you, Note 4 blows anything else out of the water. It is a complete camera in all conditions. You may want to get a used phone and then upgrade after the S6 comes out to another used version.

Honestly that's another thing about the N4, its pretty much perfect in my hand, especially with the rounded rubber edges. I got a T5i recently, but I just want something that will take more reasonable photos on the go.

LG seems to be investing in camera experience as well, so the G4 will be in the similar ballpark. My opinion is cameras either just work or don't. Very few Android companies have made a good camera experience that just works. Even if you get it to work 90% of the time its a bad experience. You need it to work near 100% of the time and take great photos in all conditions. It's really hard to get an idea of the camera without just using it a lot, test shots online can be very misleading.

https://twitter.com/LGUSAMobile/status/558700881592320001 Lollipop on the US G3 is coming "soon". "Really Soon" Ugh, what a loving annoying tease, we knew it was coming, it's already rolling out world wide, the US carriers are being dicks about it as always, what's the point of teasing if you aren't going to give a date? Obviously you started releasing builds to the carriers months ago, either it's done and carrier approved and you have a date or it is in carrier purgatory for god knows how long.

Any Z3C owners having issues with their flap covering the SD Card / USB? Out of nowhere mine is now springing open and the memory card ejecting when I pull it out of my pocket or gently drop it on a surface. I'm not being rough with it, regular movement/use and such. I had a feeling that this flap would be an issue at some point, just doesn't seem like something that would stay solid.

Seems like the culprit is that the memory card is somehow ejecting and pushing the slot open. I use the magnetic also except when I either need a faster charge or in a place where the cable detaches easily (which is nearly all the time except when sleeping or in the car)

Apologies if this has been asked, but I couldn't find anything using the new forum search or on google using a "site:somethingawful.com" filter: I want to disable the voicemail notification completely. I don't use voicemail, the only things that get to voicemail are spam telemarketer calls, and I want it gone completely. This was exacerbated when I upgraded to 5.01 and now that cheeky voicemail notification is there on my lockscreen now every time I access the phone. Googling all I can find is people who want to clear the notification because they've already checked their voicemail and it's still sticking around for some reason, but I can't seem to find anything about disabling it completely. The majority are about disabling a specific provider's bundled visual voicemail app (e.g. Sprint, T-Mobile etc.). I can't get the carrier to disable voicemail because I'm on a grandfathered plan that cannot be modified in any way or else I'll lose my pricing (Yes, I'm in Canada). Specs: Nexus 4 Android 5.0.1 (unrooted) Carrier: Mobilicity (in Canada if that matters) When I longpress on the notification, it tells me it's coming from 'Phone', and when I press the little 'i' to access notification settings it tells me that 'Show notification at the top of the list and keep them coming when the device is set to priority interruptions only' is already disabled. I've looked in Settings > Sound & notification > App notifications, but there's no entry for 'Phone' or 'Voicemail' or anything like that I can identify. I've also tried going into Phone > Settings > Call Settings > Voicemail Settings and changing the Service to nobody, but the only choice is 'your carrier', and I can't get rid it. I also tried to delete the voicemail number entirely from Setup but it won't let me change it. I've also tried going into Phone > Settings > Call Settings > Call forwarding settings and disable forwarding to voicemail When busy, When unanswered, and When unreachable, but it also won't let me change it ('Your operator doesn't support disabling call forwarding when your phone doesn't answer'). Any ideas? I can't believe that it's impossible, and I don't want to disable all notifications to lockscreen, just this specific one. I'd also love it if I could get rid of that little tape loop notification in the top left that's always there.
