"What's New in Android" starting, basically a second keynote for just Android M: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhlpJ1ELAVw Aimed at developers but normals should be able to follow along, Chet Haase is a pretty good speaker. Super Dude posted:No Nexus 7? It'll get M, it's just not part of the preview.

In regards to Brillo, I suppose we can't expect a home automation interface from Google? Haven't seen the keynote.

ilkhan posted:I did a full wipe, and nothing so far. Yeah, I did my Nexus 9, and tried not wiping userdata. It didn't go well at all. Wiped userdata, and it's redownloading everything, and it seems fine so far! Probably not doing my Nexus 6 for a while, since I'm concerned that wiping it will cause issues with my 2fa app from work.

Flashed M on my Dev n5. First impression: a lot like lollipop. Seems stable enough, but again, this is a Dev device with no software besides my company's app.

quote:If a device is unplugged and left stationary with the screen off for a period of time, it goes into Doze mode where it attempts to keep the system in a sleep state. I wonder if closing the wakelock door for good much of the time will finally bring things under control a bit. If "left stationary" really is a condition for doze, then I can see myself getting drained again the minute I put it in my pants and go outside. My problem isn't losing battery sitting at a table. My problem is I take it on the bus and send a text or two and take a photo and 4 hours after I left the house I wonder if I'm going to have enough juice to make it home.

amenenema posted:This is exactly my thought as well. I think some of it is that they just can't balance disabling apps without actually interrupting things people use. Example: If you just disabled any app's ability to do anything while the screen is off, I'd get great battery life, but I couldn't listen to my podcasts. Actually, media playing with the screen off seems to really wipe out my Nexus 4 vs iOS on a (one year older) iPhone 4S. I wonder if it's because I use Pocket Casts with the playback speed accelerator, which required the developer to make a custom media playback engine because high speed playback wasn't built into Android's audio player. But then again, Marco Arment replaced CoreAudio when he made Overcast and that doesn't zap away the 4S either. Either way, I listen to podcasts at 1.4X with the smart speed on in Pocket Casts and I get through fewer hours of podcasting than I do on older Apple hardware.

Will USB C mean faster charging normally? Will there still be "Quick Charge" that will be even quicker with USB C? Basically I love QC and even faster QC would be cool.

Melmac posted:Wow that's great, thanks. I'd really prefer a screen 4.5" or smaller but I'm sure I'm in the minority and that those days are over. The 2013 Moto X is CONSTANTLY slipping out of my hand because it's slightly too big for my girly hands, and the backing appears to have been made out of butter. Before someone calls me a klutz, know that I never even once dropped my RAZR MAXX HD (due to the awesome rubbery back material and the fact that it's flat and not curved). 4" to 4.5" screens with a 3000mAh battery I assume are a pipe dream? Try griptape. Or Sugru

Just when you thought SD cards went the way of the dodo, Google baked in a way to "marry" SD storage as if it were part of the phone: http://developer.android.com/preview/behavior-changes.html#behavior-adoptable-storage Can't wait on the crying that will happen en masse when said SD card fails and the entire phone breaks.

Looks like the Spring thread is dead, so I'll ask here instead. My Note 4's heartbeat sensor has stopped responding. Will Sprint give me a replacement or fix it even if I bought the phone through Best Buy? I don't have a warranty, and I don't have the equipment protection, so I'm kind of lost as to what I can do.

You'll probably be out of pocket for the one-way shipping to Samsung.

I don't know when the update happened and whether it's Google or HTC, but I really don't like how my gallery on HTC One now has all the silly whatsapp pics and other random images that find themselves onto my phone? Is there a way I can just have it display the pictures I've actually taken on the phone as default instead of every single drat image that I receive as well?

Google Photos still no good for ancient, large, scruffy collections with patchy exif data because it dumps all uploads which don't have Date Taken at the top of the stream and provides no tools to add dates, let alone rough estimate dates like flickr does. Also no good for huge Mum collections with 75 gigs of meticulously organized holiday snaps to sync because the desktop uploader ignores folders and dumps them all in a monstrous blob.

I don't see any way to edit the metadata in Drive. You can't even sort by date taken in Drive. Tunga, I have nothing against modern ways of organising files. But this is a product promoted as being able to store and organise all of the photos you've ever taken. It's inevitable that some are going to lack proper metadata because they were taken on early digital cameras, or scanned from prints, or they were sent by friends over services that stripped the data in transit. The machine learning algorithms aren't going to be able to make sense of them, so they need to provide simple manual organising tools or figure out a way to stop the files with bad data from making the photo stream nonsensical.
