I added storage with some SD card to my phone (running KK). So far I've managed to move some apps, the camera storage (this was automatic) and Pocket's cache, but things like Flipboard refuse to use it despite "external storage" being checked. Also, most applications / games store their data on the phone. Will this go the the SD if I reinstall them ?

I'm experience problems with down time on my 2nd gen Moto X. If I get an email, it'll play the notification tone and turn off down time. Anyone have any idea why? Maybe related, but when this happens, the vibration for the notification will play about a second after the sound.

So this time I made sure to turn the display off when I went to sleep and let my s6 charge, when I woke up I see the display is on for who knows how long. How do I turn this off =/

130€ without pad (not available anywhere ?), mmmh. I see it as an Intel CPU, does it run all games, and well ?

Spatule posted:130€ without pad (not available anywhere ?), mmmh. I see it as an Intel CPU, does it run all games, and well ? Being an Intel CPU it will not run many Android games as Android is an ARM first platform. There aren't many great Android systems for playing on TV. There's this, the Fire TV, the ADT-1 (Developer Console Google Gave away for free), and the upcoming upcoming Shield platform, comedy OUYA option (please done). The only one trying really seriously with native access to the Google play store is the Shield platform. Also you have to keep in mind that developers are required to add console controls, and state they have TV support. Due to the slow uptake of Android TV the number of games is now around $60 most costing a couple of bucks each. Probably the best games are Leos Fortune and Luftrausers. Android gaming on the TV is not something worth jumping into yet, hopefully it will be in another year. For now it probably makes more sense to grab a computer and hook it up to your TV and use a spare wired 360 controller, or get one of the 360 wireless adapters.

The original K1 was roughly about as powerful as a 360, this is another generation past that, this device will likely straddle the compute and GPU power differences between the 360/XBONE. Also this device is the first affordable device with 4k output.

You mentioned "looking at a lot of videos and browsing the web a ton" and for that purpose the G3's battery life might better suit you since battery life is easily the X's weakest point. That's not to say the Moto X couldn't be your best choice despite that which is why a hands on comparison would really help you choose. I have a little and both of the phones feel good in the hand. Screen wise they're quite nice to look at as well. I feel that if I went for a 32GB LG G3 that I, may as well just pick up a Z3 Compact for the higher price. However back to the 16 GB. Honestly I am starting to feel neither would be the wrong choice. Honestly the only thing spooking me away from G3 is the lack of updates and overheating problems I keep hearing about, esp in regards to the camera.

SkySteak posted:I heard that about the Moto. Honestly I've only recently heard about the camera issues, but the battery one is the only real worrying one for the Moto X and the lack of removable storage as well, apart from that I'd love to pick it up. Like, how long does the X's battery last with heavy usage? Either way thank you for your patience. The Moto X has pretty terrible battery life, especially with heavy use. Quick Charge helps, but if you want a full-day phone without a charger it isn't one The M8, Z3/Z3c, Turbo/Maxx, Note 4 are all good choices if battery is a significant concern.

Any suggestions for a car mount for my Moto X? I had an InfiniApps magnetic one, but while the phone sort of sticks to it without the thin plate, it falls over (rotates 180 degrees) since the back isn't flat against the magnetic part of the mount. I suppose I could get a case and sandwich the thin plate between that and the phone, but then I'd cover up the nice back that'll be on my replacement Moto Maker version and it might have the same problem anyway. I obviously don't need Qi charging, and I'd like the mount to be reasonably small on its own so it doesn't get in the way if I don't put my phone on it.

G4 announcement in a few hours.

I had no software update issues other than it taking a week for me to receive the update. Mine's also never overheated, but it's gotten incredibly hot to where it was uncomfortable to hold. It also force closed out of the camera app at one point, I'm assuming due to heat, while I was trying to record a speech.

LG G4 Snapdragon 808 3gb ram 32gb + microsd storage 5.5" QHD display (LG claims the new display boasts 20% wider color reproduction, 25% improvement in brightness and 50% higher contrast than the G3.) 16mp (OIS, and apparently you can do 104mp panoramas) 3,000mah battery Not a bad device but that leather sure looks ugly.

Pictures taken with the G4 look amazing, assuming they haven't been retouched. Not sure I want to keep putting up with LG's UI in order to upgrade though. And while I like the leather backs, the stitching down the middle kills it for me.

No QC 2.0 is confusing...I thought modern Qualcomm chips had it enabled...even the older 801's do (and 805, 810). It's strange that it was excluded from the 808, no? They are quick to say "but we have high amp chargers!"...but that's not the same. QC is amazing and it's a shame it isn't on the G4. Also, Qi isn't standard, but a back will be available. Hopefully it won't be limited to shady Chinese eBay sellers (for like $60). Just put them in stores for $39 or something, it's 2015. If you hate leather, I'm certain the Qi (and other backs) will suit your fancy. Plastic or whatever. hotsauce fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Apr 28, 2015 |

Neat pictures. It shouldn't surprise anyone that Samsung actually cares very little about their products, though. They will do the bare minimum to convince people they're "as good as iphone" and buy them. The hardware is poorly made and their software is user-hostile. I totally get why the general population buys them, but I'll never understand why posters here would recommend or even list them as considerations. Death to Samsung.

So my girl bought the "Unlocked" Moto X 2014 and its not unlocked. Is unlocking a phone really as easy as just getting an unlock code and plugging it in? If not I'm going to just return the damned thing because the rear end in a top hat didn't sell it as advertised.

Another probably dumb question before I go ahead. If I use my t-mobile sim card to unlock the phone, will that cause any problems if I then get another t-mobile sim and pop it in for someone else to use?

It seems like caring where the holes are on the outside could lead to making compromises on the insides. There's arguments you can make either way. you could make the argument that they care more about functionality than aesthetics, but then you get to their software and realize they have neither.

I like the ease of sifting through 95% of my useless notifications in hope of one of the 5% I want to pay attention to without pulling out my phone. I'm not that big of a fan of talking to my wrist for the same reasons that I don't like talking to my phone. Majority of the time I'm in a place where I feel weird to do so, especially when I have to report my dumb message four times and I realize that it's really not something that is important or needed to be said but just took up 30 seconds of my time fussing when I could've just typed it. My wife basically wrote that last part.

My Nexus 5's USB port seems to be loose and I have to make sure my cable is at a certain angle to get a charge. This is happening with the provided USB cable. Is there a way I can fix this without having to physically replace the USB module? I have no issue with doing that but I'd like to avoid it. edit: I should clarify that it doesn't feel like any of the solder points are broken, more that it's just not snug enough or something.
