Has anyone hear used the Qi case for the Z3? Since it's a flipcase, did you also remove the flip part? Please share your experience with it, I'm considering swapping up to the Z3 from the Z3c, primarily for Qi and the larger screen. If the Qi case is lame and not cool though, that will definitely impact my decision.

Man the 4.7 size is still solid and one of the main reasons I didn't jump on a 2014. I don't know why they just can't have two sizes of the flagship.

Technically they do have two sizes if you count the Nexus 6.

I'm sure the people in charge of such decisions have done enough research and concluded not enough people want a smaller phone to make it worth while. I mean how many manufacturers do it. Sony?

According to DxOMark, the Galaxy S6 Edge and the Note 4 have the best cameras of any smartphone at the moment, the first time an Android phone has bested the iPhone when it comes to the camera. Also interesting is the fact the Nexus 6 managed to crack the top ten, coming in at number 8, several spots ahead of the iPhone 5S even. Shows how much the camera was improved over the Nexus 5's.

Weird that the G2 is 15th but the G3 isn't on there at all.

Also, someone mentioned about 2013 phones getting 5.0 update. Samsung updated the S4 to Lollipop on February (my spanish S4 had it early march, but didn't flash it stock anyways). Not bad considering that is way over the expected 18 month support.

Sony Canada finally released the Lollipop update for the Z2 and lower ( at least on Bell ). I didn't see it waiting but a manual check this morning under Software Update had it showing.

If you are in the US, 1) where are you getting it and 2) is it the US model or an international model.

Edit: unless you mean you are getting the Nexus 6 and in that case never mind.

The Galaxy S4 on Verizon got Lollipop this week.

I was under the impression Moto was trying to jump straight to 5.1.x on all their phones though, so Turbo should get it soon.

From what I can tell, only one person is claiming to have it and it seems like it's either fake or someone hosed up and sent a pre-release build to this person's phone. I'm leaning towards the latter because I can't imagine anyone trying to fake it would set the kernel build date to yesterday. (And I also can't imagine a build getting pushed out beyond a test group that quickly.)

After talking to the guy on XDA, I feel like it's legit but I don't think it was supposed to make it out to the public. We'll know soon if he comes through with a system dump.

Edit: Legit. I don't think it's actually rolling out yet but if you have a rooted T-Mobile S6 Edge, you'll probably be able to flash it soon.

No its OK! I just wanted to clarify. :) IMO you have to weigh the $ saved Vs performance deficit in that equation. Also the fact that you can't get a US version of one of the two phones.

I believe it creates a shuffled playlist so it would indeed play them in that order.

My version's attempt at shuffle is "pick random song starting with the letter O and then just play them in order, occasionally intercutting them with a random song".

e: plays them in alphabetical order, I should say. Consistent bug, too.

I reshuffle a big playlist once a week or so and it always reshuffles apparently randomly :shrug: The only shuffle "bug" I've ever noticed is that if you shuffle while in your queue, it only shuffles remaining songs in your queue. Which makes sense, but confuses some people. Haven't noticed any other issues with it, either on PC or phone. Did you get Samsung'd?

Super similar behaviour here! Obviously a bug of some kind I think.

Nexus 6.

Weird. Local music or streaming? All Access? I'm just curious because I've used Play Music heavily on Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and now LG G2, and have seen several bugs the past year or two (lock screen controls/album art lagging behind by one song, some connection issue where the app will keep trying to play a song and can't, etc), but never that.

All Access, and it happens on a pinned playlist, haven't experimented with streaming yet. It's definitely weird, but it happens every day on this playlist now.

Seemingly out of nowhere, my Z3c started randomly pausing podcasts and spotify with no notification coming in that would potentially do so. Is there a known bug (and hopefully resolution) with this issue? It's very annoying. I rebooted to see if that'll fix things but will need some runtime to see if it helped.

Could be something up with the headphone port

An update on this, I've been trying a hundred different things to get this to stop but nothing is working. As far as I can tell the headphone port is perfectly clear of any debris and nothing else appears out of the ordinary. I received a new Z3c roughly a month ago from a warranty exchange. Am I screwed and have to do another? Any other ideas?

Maybe go for the larger one. I asked my wife and she said that it was annoying to put her phone into it and it doesn't hold onto the vents very well (could be because of our car - Toyota Prius).

Ok, one other question: can it rotate side-to-side at all when it's on the vent? My car's vents' outer layer is the vertical adjustment, so I wouldn't be able to rely on the side-to-side of the vent to adjust the angle of the screen e.g. to avoid glare.

If you look at the back it's a large piece of flexible silicone type stuff that has an up-down and left-right cut. If you want to rotate it you can just take it off and flip it but the part that goes onto the vent isn't on a swivel.
