My wife's S4 finally got lollipop but it's taking 8 hours to download on 50 Mb/s wifi. Knowing her I'll get up in the morning to find a cancelled update.

Do you know if this works with a lower-output wall wart (e.g. from the Nexus 4)? Also, while that looks like it'll work fine, does anyone have any recommendations without an indicator light? My wife's super picky about light in the bedroom. I could of course tape over it if the Choe's the best bang for the buck.

What is "modalert.html"? I woke up to a notification that it downloaded itself to my phone at 2 AM last night and I have no idea what it is. Google doesn't help. App info has the Android logo and describes it as a download manager with access to pretty much everything (contacts, storage, etc.) but I'm still a little wary because I'm paranoid about stuff like that.

Are any of the following true? - you are rooted - you have a custom ROM - you allow installation of non play store apps - you have pirated apps - you consciously choose to not be on the latest version of your os and/or google play services/android webview edit: please still answer my question but a quick google shows you're hosed.

Starting to understand the hate for lollipop now. Among other things, my wife's google messenger can send messages but not receive, and when it sends it says it did not send. Nothing I can find as a "solution" has worked so far. edit: wiping cache partition and reinstalling messenger seemed to fix it. edit 2: now it works really well and smoothly. So I'm going back to not understanding the hate. UnfortunateSexFart fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Apr 19, 2015 |

The only thing wrong with Lollipop is the terrible volume system. It's just ill-conceived. Other than that, it looks and works well. Looking at KitKat after living with Lollipop evokes that same "Holy poo poo, this is ugly as gently caress" feeling that Gingerbread did post-Ice Cream Sandwich.

Note 3 (Verizon) user chiming in to say that I'm really happy with Lollipop since I updated couple of days ago. I took my time with backups and did a factory reset and formatted the external memory. Afterward, I manually selected what apps to reinstall from Play Store. Went back to Nova Launcher and restored its settings as soon as I had all the old apps and icon packs reinstalled. So far, so good. Battery life was already becoming an issue before the new OS and still seems to be an issue, so Battery Doctor is in use for now. I would still be in the process of getting the phone the way I like it if I did all that on wifi, so I used the Verizon Rewards +1 GB data offer, too.

Some evil person gave my grandpa a galaxy s3 and convinced him to use it instead of his flip phone. I had to set it up for him tonight, Jesus loving Christ I hate Samsung. There were so many apps that were just completely useless, and that's not counting carrier apps or bundled ones. The settings menu is completely disorganized and there were literally three pages of "quick access settings" in the pull down menu. I was against Samsung before, but I'm now actually offended anyone ever gives them money. May they die in a sea of lawsuits.

Your Note 3 should not be having battery life issues, something must be excessively draining the battery. That said, I'm pretty happy with Lollipop so far. I only played around with it on the Note 3 for a little bit but it seems pretty solid. Not much of a difference on the 4 since it's Touchwiz was already pretty Lollipop-ish on 4.4, but the native 5.0 lock screen notifications and animations are certainly better than the 5.0-ish ones we had on 4.4. Haven't run into any bugs so far and thankfully Samsung once again ignored Google's retarded changes to the volume controls so that's not an issue either.

Desk Lamp posted:Your Note 3 should not be having battery life issues, something must be excessively draining the battery. Aye. I have Tasker and Gleeo Automagic running almost constantly with GPS enabled. I do multiple freelance gigs and am bad about logging time, so I use location-, and/or network-, and/or time-of-day-based flows to keep track. Eventually, I'm going to streamline the process with ubiquitous NFC tags at routine locations and/or on my gear. I made a pen mod stylus, so I have the stylus mode set to always on so the built-in one stays in the phone but still allows me to use my other. Twilight app keeps me sane, but I suspect it's another battery thief, too. Not a Facebook user, but I probably have some other apps here and there (I'm looking at you, Awful) which are sapping precious juice, too. I carry a Motorola Power Pack, just in case. e: grammar and syntax Arriviste fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Apr 20, 2015 |

I've got a Nexus 4 that's failing, randomly shuts down, people can't hear me when I use my head + shoulder to hold the phone. Looking for an inexpensive replacement, so the 1st gen Moto G 4G is what I had my eye on. But some people were suggesting the Moto X 2013. There's one on swappa that's listed as new for $260. Is the Moto X 2013 worth $60 more than a Moto G 4G?

Ugh, since updating to Lollipop (Note 3), the Gallery app doesn't show any pictures or albums anymore. The On Device folder in the Photos app only shows a picture I took today. There are definitely images on my phone (and they're auto-backupped anyway), any ideas how I'm gonna get back the old functionality (or at least dump the local images into the On Device folder) so I can share funny cat pictures with the world?

The default weather widget on Lock screen and S View cover will probably stop working but the battery will live longer and the homescreen widget will work.

I bought a 2013 Moto G (non-4G) about a month ago, and though through the upgrades from 5.0-5.01-5.1, the memory usage got better, 1GB just wasn't enough for me. Things kept getting kicked out of memory, even while they were active.

Sony Z4 announced. Smaller battery, Snapdragon 810, 32GB base, capless MicroUSB, no magnetic charging and no Qi. This one may be a pass in the end... maybe I'll just move up to the Z3 on the cheap and get the Qi case. http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...gnature-design/

Since upgrading to lollipop and apps have gained the ability to change the colour of the notification bar, all of the google ones work correctly but a whole bunch of other apps change it to a horrific neon blue, I imagine because they're not updated. How can I change the default colour back to black?

There are reports that newer versions of Firmware fix that so wait for an OTA. I disabled it a day or two before my OTA update rolled around (after researching battery drain issues) and I haven't thoroughly gone through the current system apps since then to kill known offenders other than obvious bloatware. I don't use the stock weather widget, S View cover, or stock camera (UD also does "Tag Buddy"), so I haven't spotted it in my location requests lately. Just killed it anyway. Thanks for reminding me about that "feature" with Unified Daemon.

Unless there are any other major flagships on the horizon I'm exploring the Droid Turbo but am concerned that 32GB wouldn't be enough. How is the Turbo camera? Looks like the most solid option without going to the N6 or Note4. 99% sure it'll work just fine on Cricket's AT&T Towers also.
