Kerbtree posted:So, which Moto G did you come from? How does the camera compare? 16GB 1st Gen. The camera on the 1st gen G is terrible. I probably took less than 30 photos with it in the 18 months it was my main phone. I'd carry around my work phone instead. I know the 2nd Gen was better, but I can't compare unfortunately. I just took a couple side by side shots and did screen captures of the Moto G (Left) and ZF2 (Right). The difference is pretty obvious. Outside:  Inside:  I think I said it in my review, but I compared it side-by-side with my work Nokia 920 and it was a little better. According to DXOMark this would put it maybe in the range of an iPhone 4S/5. edit: HUGE. Click photos to view.

If Chrome's been doing that for a while, why was it only mentioned in the most recent change notes? Unless you're on the beta channel or something.

ugh my Nexus 5 has been doing this thing lately where it drops calls within a few seconds of taking the call. I pick up and after a few seconds the cell signal bars drop to 0. Once I hang up, they come back full and when I make the call again I have like a 50/50 chance of the same behavior repeating. This is also that thing that happens about once in every 4 calls I make. Is this a sign of radio failure? Something new in the most recent patches? I've tried turning off data and telling it to prefer 3g (instead of LTE) without any improvement. This morning I tried telling it to prefer 2G rather than 3g or LTE and that seemed promising, but who knows. Any suggestions or is anyone familiar with this kind thing on Nexus 5s?

If anyone was wondering how to change Date Taken for old videos uploaded to Google Photos, so they don't default to Date Uploaded in the timeline, I found that after upload you can change the date at https://plus.google.com/photos/yourphotos and it will also change it in the new Photos. I was going mad trying to work out how to add Date Taken to old video metadata (it's impossible), but this is an easy fix for now. Also, if you're looking for a tool to batch transfer Date Modified to Date Taken on photos so you can clean up your timeline, Exif Date Changer is pretty nifty.

I've never heard of this. I would reflash the stock firmware and see if it persists. You could even try an old version just to check.

ilkhan posted:Last I heard its screen off only if charging, or anytime screen is on. With appropriate settings selected. I can tell you it works off the charger with the screen off in at least the Note 3, the 4, and the Droid Maxx. Then again Touchwiz and Moto already had always on voice recognition long before it came to the rest of Android so I just assumed it worked on everything else by now.

Then again Touchwiz and Moto already had always on voice recognition long before it came to the rest of Android so I just assumed it worked on everything else by now. The reason it worked that way for the Moto X was specialized hardware that allowed a microphone to be constantly listening without having to keep the phone awake. It'd utterly slaughter the battery otherwise, which is why they typically only use it while charging. Then again, if there's an option to enable it (because gently caress batteries yo) I guess they could just keep the phone awake at all times. God knows Android has perfected the art of the 100% uptime wakelock.

Ok. On a Note3 with the newest update, how do I move files to my sd card. Also how do I set everything to download to the sd card(or at least crome)? Seriously, this is the worst update. I can't even use my phone because of the battery dying and all but one of my chargers don't work with it for some stupid reason.

Did you backup and reset the phone? The reason I ask is because most of the trouble I've read about Lollipop updates on Note 3 are with phones that haven't been reset. I backed mine up before the update and reset mine (and wiped the SD card) right after and the update has been working very well.

If youre having battery issues with your note 3 on lollipop check your "unified daemon (eur)" situation. Its a common issue

Its a common issue Yeah I fixed that, I haven't reset because I have a poo poo ton of files on the internal memory and need to move them to the sd card, which none of the file browsers/managers/commanders are capable of. And after I reset I want to make sure crome downloads files to the sd so I don't have this problem when I want to move on to a phone that I don't want to put through a wall twice a day.

If at least the stock file manager isn't allowing you to move files to SD, something is borked. Can you back up to a computer? That's what I did since I wanted to wipe the card, too. The app ES File Explorer can manage your downloads for you if you can't get the default file manager to let you choose the dl location.

What's the closest Android device to an iPhone camera + Nexus device? It looks like nothing quite exists. I'd like something that I can root, but also have a good camera.

The Samsung one that gets opened whenever another one is like, "change your settings and it'll with no problem" just let's me look at what type of files exist. No directories or anything. When I plug my phone into my(old as piss) computer, the ram usage spikes and stays pegged not allowing me to move files. I've used it for nothing but burning cds and trying this, for probably a year. Reformatting a computer I don't use(I'd also have to back up files) just to move my internal storage download folder to my sd card download folder is insane. Why is this a thing. I'd think an sd card would be exactly where android would think downloaded files should go. Keep programs on internal and use the sd for files. Am I missing why this is a bad idea?

I'd think an sd card would be exactly where android would think downloaded files should go. Keep programs on internal and use the sd for files. Am I missing why this is a bad idea? I googled "chrome android download to sd card" and found: Open a web page any page will do. Then press the button beside d home key to bring up settings. Select settings which will bring you to privacy and all then below content. Select content and near the end you will see default storage, press it and it will change to sd as your storage. Does that not work? As for default behavior, you need to tell apps where to store stuff if you don't like the default. There shouldn't be any mystery to it: if you want Chrome to download stuff to your SD card, change that setting! As for moving files to random locations on an SD card, with Android 5.0 that has been disallowed. Apps can only write to their own specific directory on an SD card, so that you don't get a garbage-filled SD card with random poo poo all over it when you uninstall an app. I don't know how any file explorers handle it because I don't have a phone with an SD card, but any of them should be able to write into a folder on the SD card that is specific to it. So if you use ES File Explorer, find the ES File Explorer folder on your SD card, and throw stuff into a Download subfolder in there. No idea if that works in practice, but that should work in theory.
