Did the 2013 N7 not get 5.1 because it wasn't experiencing issues with 5.02? Android 5.1 is more than just bugfixes isn't it?

It's just not out for it yet. There's still the memory leak on 5.02, it's not super bad but it's there for the N7 2013. It'll come it'll just be a few days, maybe more.

The only things I know of that are actually different are the HD Voice thing and dual SIM support and obviously neither of those apply to the N7. There are a lot of neat animation changes and of course the silent mode fix which was never broken on tablets anyway.

bull3964 posted:I really truly believe we were supposed to get 5.0.2 with the last update but they pulled it at the last minute and replaced it with a VoLTE bug fixer when they saw that 5.1 release was going to happen in the next two weeks. Why, though? They pushed the 5.0x for the Moto Maxx and the new Moto Turbos in India are shipping with 5.1. I'm still not even sure why they rushed ahead and pushed a VoLTE upgrade and then a subsequent patch when 5.1 is coming with it anyways.

So there's an aluminum bumper case out now for the Z3c that's $57.50 shipped. If you can get over the price, it looks like everything one could want in a case. Slim profile, adequate protection, and holes in all the right spots. Once it arrives, I won't need my current Incipio Dualpro, so if any goons want it, shoot me a pm. I only ask for said goon to cover shipping cost. Fair warning, it has been sanded down on the back plastic and had a hole added for the magnetic charging port.

No inserts for the buttons, so you had to just feel around for the right spot. It also allowed the bottom 2 corners of the glass screen protector to get chips by dropping it 2 feet, so I got the incipio instead.

hotsauce posted:Just ask here and get aggressively schooled to hell and back if you are the slightest bit off (i.e. not a Motorola). Okay. I'm on T-Mobile, I'm looking at a last-gen phone. <300 used, so far I've been looking at an older HTC one, LG g2, or galaxy s4. Less so the s4, my work s4 is scratched to hell after 8 months. I like that the g2 has a gorilla glass screen, but I'm worried about the non-replaceable battery on a used phone, I don't know how well it's been treated. Durability and battery life are most important to me. Less so body durability because I'll probably get a case for whatever phone I decide on.

Go to eBay and buy a brand new 2013 moto X for like $215. I'm on mobile or I'd link you. Maybe some goon will.

Tunga posted:Cruzerlite seem to have some. They use the same manufacturer as Diztronic and I've found them to be good quality in the past. That looks really good. I didn't like the design on the back, so I dismissed it out of hand, and now wish I hadn't. Oh well.

Original Android user. Had my DroidX for years. Loved it. Finally getting bumped off the family plan and I need to make an adult decision. Going back to Android. (Checked out the iPhone, it's wholly underwhelming. Don't judge me) Verizon is a better option, coverage wise, where I live. Just heard the N6 is finally out on their network. Is the extra cash worth it or should I just stick to the Turbo? The cost isn't really a huge issue.

They're both equally good, go to the store and put both in your hand to decide.

hooah posted:Correct, no OTAs. If you got the 5.1 image from Google, then it's not something you can flash on your phone. There are instructions near the top of this page for how to flash. If you want to preserve your data, edit the script file and remove the -w flag. Actually not correct. Nexus 5 update .zip files still patch individual files and not the full system image.

LastInLine posted:Who cares what it patches when it won't run at all without an unaltered system image? L updates aren't supposed to work on altered phones because they directly patch the filesystem, so it must be as the .zip expects it. Older updates work on individual files, if one is there that shouldn't be it doesn't matter as it's ignored by the .zip N5 updates still use the old method for whatever reason, so you can go ahead.

Just upgraded my Moto G to Lollipop. It looks great, but it hosed up my notification led. Even though it's turned on in the settings, it doesn't blink when I receive messages etc. Is this normal or am I missing something?

Looking at the 2013 moto X, will I regret getting the 16 gig rather than 32? I've only used about 2 gigs right now, but I want to start putting music on my phone. I'm thinking that will only take up maybe 8-10 gigs, though, so I feel like I should be good with 16. Edit: it sounds like 5.02 has worse battery management than kit kat, so is there a way to keep it on kit kat until 5.1 comes out for it?

It can't hurt, and apps are rapidly increasing in size.

You can't add an SD card later, but everything else about this phone is pretty great. I'd opt for the extra storage.

I think this got missed on a previous page, but what is the consensus on the Galaxy S5 Active? I'm finding some pretty cheap (cheaper then the vanilla s5) and was hoping for some goon opinions. I don't mind touch wiz but I am also not in that much of a hurry to pick up another phone. Currently using the recommend 2013 Moto X and it really is fantastic.
