Okay, thanks guys. I'm still being a noob and trying to figure out the differences between Android and iOS. Satisfied so far.

So what the gently caress is with lollipop? I upgraded to it on my stock Nexus 4 about a month ago and it's been alright except for the fact that GMail no longer syncs when I get new email. I mean it does, sometimes. It could be anywhere between 5 minutes, 30 mins, an hour, or 12 before I'll get a notification on my phone about new mail coming in. I figured fine, 5.0 it's one of the many lovely bugs it'll get ironed out in 5.1 Nope. my phone got the 5.1 upgrade on Monday, and it's still happening. I had someone send me an email from their gmail account from mine about an hour ago and I still haven't received notification on my phone. Why is this even a thing. Why isn't Gmail working with their own goddamned phone platform?? I get instant emails on my old Asus tablet that's stuck on 4.1, and my old moto atrix on CM9. Does anyone have any idea what I can do about this? i've searched all over and nothing seems to work. I've even gone as far as factory resetting my phone and it's not fixing a damned thing.

I'd try to post on a Google help board or get a hold of Google some other way, because that's the first I've heard of this issue.

Yeah it's not a Lollipop thing, I've not heard of any Gmail issues in Lollipop specifically. Do you use any "funky" apps? Battery helpers / task killers, that sort of thing? You haven't turned off background data or altered any APN settings? It happens on both Wifi and cellular networks?

Do you see that behaviour everywhere? Could it be related to a specific Wi-Fi network?

Can I turn off that app resizing thing Touchwiz does on the S6? I have no use for it and sometimes trigger it by accident.

I've been looking for this also, my gf does this on her S6 Edge constantly and it doesn't really provide any value. I've run two apps at once on it windowed like that and honestly its a stupid feature unless you're using a Note.

I just got a survey from Rewards asking what year it was and when I pressed 2015 immediately it chastised me for answering too fast and told me to try again. What the hell google. Also, you can disable the resizing in Touchwiz. Go to the Multi window settings in System Settings and uncheck "Pop-up view shortcut".

Kinda android, so this may be the best place for it for now. Google's Project Fi is live. Nexus 6 only for now and invite only. It's a combination of Sprint ant T-Mobile depending on what has better signal where you are. $20 /month for the unlimited talk/text and then $10 per month per GB of data with the unused portion of your data being credited back to you at the end of the month. https://fi.google.com

Say hi to Fiquote:Project Fi aims to put you on the best network wherever you go. As you move around, the best network for you might be a Wi-Fi hotspot or a specific 4G LTE network. We developed new technology that gives you better coverage by intelligently connecting you to the fastest available network at your location whether it's Wi-Fi or one of our two partner LTE networks. As you go about your day, Project Fi automatically connects you to more than a million free, open Wi-Fi hotspots we've verified as fast and reliable. Once you're connected, we help secure your data through encryption. When you're not on Wi-Fi, we move you between whichever of our partner networks is delivering the fastest speed, so you get 4G LTE in more places. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfFHnBQ6nQg

One thing I did do was while in an app I held down the "app switcher" button which enables the side by side view an sizes them equally to half the screen, then I full screened one of them and now when doing the normal long press in the corner of the app it doesn't re-size like it was before. Not really a fix, because I probably just samsunged my samsung.

I'm almost disappointed that my T-Mobile $50 unlimited everything plan is better, I'd probably be all over that otherwise.

quote:The up front pricing seems pretty standard. It requires a "Fi Basics" plan, which is $20 a month for unlimited talk and texting. Then data is an addition $10 per GB a month. So a $20 basics plan plus 3GB a month would be $50, $5 more than Straight Talk charges for the same thing—that's only if you actually use the data though. The unique aspect of the billing is that you "Never pay for unused data." Your account gets credited, in money, for data you don't use. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/04/googles-wireless-service-project-fi-is-official-but-invite-only/ Pretty underwhelming really.

I'd be curious to see what average data usage is on the main carriers. I bet it's a good deal in terms of price for many. And if you're in a city, and their WiFi switching/connecting works as they advertise, I could see people that normally use a decent amount of data using much less on this network.

That looks pretty nice from my point of view. I could use my regular number to call family and whatnot more often, since I wouldn't have to worry about a minutes cap. And I'm certainly not using the 5gb of T-Mobile data I'm paying for, either. Too bad you need a Big McLargePhone to use the plan

So I could do 2 lines and 10gb data for 140. That would be like $100 dollars cheaper than At&t. Also, weirdly they don't explicitly state that data used over Wifi connections doesn't count against your monthly data. it would be pretty lovely if I were connected to my home wifi for like 5gb and the Fi app on the phone saw that and I still got "charged" for it. thebushcommander fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Apr 22, 2015 |

I don't know what the menu looks like on a Note4, but on the S6 it's pretty lovely. It's like a collection of quick links under different headings, sometimes the same option shows under multiple headings etc. I realize that sounds pretty general and obvious what a menu should look like, but it's just weird compared to say my HTC One that was on Lollipop. thebushcommander fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Apr 22, 2015 |

Fi sounded really good until you get to the $10/GB. It's basically a much worse version of my current AT&T contract, good job Google?

That's the key piece here. That, along with the fact that the phone will actively seek out wifi when it's available in order to lessen your data usage. There are times when I use 5gb in a month, there's times where I barely use more than 1gb. To get refunded when my usage is less is pretty huge.

Neither T-Mobile or Sprint alone have good enough networks for me to consider them, but combined they are almost good enough. Not quite the same level of coverage as Verizon, but close enough that it could be workable.

Plus, if you go over they only fractionally add the data used to it. In actuality I don't really see a reason to pay for more than the first GB if that's indeed the case.

Anyone else with a 2014 Moto X have trouble setting up the custom voice commands? It refuses to recognize that I'm recording. It gets to the "Say your launch phrase' par, but even if I'm yelling into the phone with no ambient noise, it doesn't register that I'm speaking. I don't have any trouble with the mic in other apps. No one I've talked to on the phone says it's low, and I can use the built-in Google Now voice commands just fine.

T mobile isn't in my market and Sprint here is hilarious garbage. I'd consider it if I lived where T-Mobile existed I guess?

You can customize the quick settings toggles along the top of the notification shade, it's likely the multi-window toggle is already up there if you swipe left. If it's not there you can swipe down with two fingers on the notification shade to get all the available toggles and turn it off there. From that screen you can tap on the pencil icon to select which toggles you want showing up along the top. I don't know if this made it to the S6, but you should also be able to long press the back button to toggle multiwindow on and off.
