With all the problems that 5.0 has been having I'm not sure I want my Turbo to upgrade.

N6 owners: any of you run into any issues that weren't around when you first bought the phone? Wondering if you've seen anything a new buyer should be aware of.

Month and a half later or so it's still running flawlessly. Lollipop is great, it's fast and smooth all around. Beautiful display, no burn in running auto at half.

butt dickus posted:It's better than hearing about sour grapes from everyone who doesn't have the update yet. Lollipop on my G 2014 and Nexus 5 was terrible and it's been brought up several times before in this thread and is a pretty huge concern on XDA and reddit. It's kind of funny though that the Nexus 5 is one of the biggest problem children for the update but I haven't heard a lick about the LG phones having issues.

Lollipop has been giving me random bootloops for no loving reason on my 1.5y/o N5, and it's not a hardware issue. Been thinking about the N6, but I'd like to know if it's going to last me more than a year before I spend $650 on one.

Well, I think even the act of rooting keeps a lollipop device from accepting OTAs since the update is done in a binary blob and requires that the figerprint of the system image matches what is expected.

It does stop OTAs, which is fine for me, as I'd rather evaluate and apply updates to my own schedule. Please, let's have a nice retarded discussion about nonexistent security issues I've created by "breaking" my phone. RZA you available with the usual hyperbole, and examples of security theater?

100% of complaints about lollipop are user error from people installing bad apps like Facebook, Greenify, and permission managers, rooting their phone and using xposed or custom roms and having issues, or not rebooting their phone every 2 days like Sundar intended. hahah, but seriously, the memory leak is the only real problem with lollipop, everything else is made up by the SD card + external battery illuminati vyst posted:Amen. Hate lollipop battery life You have a Galaxy S5 (right?), you brought it on yourself. The only thing worse than Samsung not updating their phones is when they actually do update them.

Chef De Cuisinart posted:I'm also on a stock S5 on AT&T. That 4.4.4 "upgrade" we got a few weeks ago really hosed some poo poo up. Google Now opens when you press the home button, something in "Android System" is eating battery life, and it still isn't Lollipop. I'd suggest restarting your phone every other day until a patch is released. Yeah, this is more or less what's happening with me, and my coworker is having the same issues (same phone).

Inspector 34 posted:Is this where I go for phone recommendations? I think it's finally time to replace my Nexus 4 and while I've been a fan of every Nexus and Google phone all the way back to the G1, I'm not sure I want to go up to a Nexus 6. The thing is just massive. What are some good phones with mostly stock Android that are around the same size as my N4? I've heard that the Motorola and LG devices don't screw with Android too much so they seem kind of appealing to me. I haven't used a Samsung device since my Galaxy S Vibrant, so I don't know what they've done with Android other than that a lot of people seem to hate whatever changes they've made. I like knowing where all my settings and junk are at, so I'd like to keep as close to stock Android as possible. Absolutely false in the case of LG, but Motorola uses a skin that looks almost stock. LGs software is essentially an attempt to copy Touchwiz

The only issues I've had with Lollipop on my M7 are just nuisances, nothing too debilitating. My capacative button lights don't work, adaptive brightness fails 50% of the time when I power the screen on and it comes up max brightness, and powering the screen off while in the camera/gallery app blows my wallpaper up to 150% until I reset it. I should probably just ditch GPe at this point and go back to Sense with Lollipop and Google Now launcher.Inspector 34 posted:Maybe I was thinking of HTC. Which one uses Sense? Yeah that's HTC.

It still should be the standard (and I'm upset Google backed off on that) but if that's what people are running into you can't rightly be upset that they would dare to be upset.

My favorite bit is that the definition of broken is apparently just "has to be updated differently". Like, I understand calling people who immediately flash CM on their brand new S#'s or Note #'s dumb for replacing the stock camera or S-pen drivers with lovely hacked together garbage. The stock/rooted and custom rom paradigms are worlds apart in terms of reliability, yet functionally identical, so conflating them is hilariously simple minded.

Not on most of them, it's not consistent with Nexus 7's for sure and I believe 6s are the same way. I lose less than 1% battery/hour (haven't went out of my way to monitor, but it's definitely lower than that) standby on my Nexus 6. And don't have a noticeable memory leak.

Well I somehow still have a VZW unlimited plan despite my Dad's phone upgrade supposedly nuking it (I pay my parents to stay on the family plan). Given that I'm not going to even touch upgrading because I'm guessing I'm one of less than 100,000 left at this point and these unlimited plans are extremely rare now. Has Verizon closed off all the unlimited upgrade loopholes now? I remember hearing some rumbling about them shutting one down last year.
