You forgot the link. Also we should just start requiring cat pictures in every post from here on out. Dogs might be acceptable too. Should keep the shitposting down for a few.

I'm really tempted to sell my S6 and get a Moto X! I had the 2013 and it was a loving brilliant phone, but the lack of wireless charging does give some pause. Speaking of, here's my pug!

I have a moto x that was running android 4.2 or 4.3. My fiance scanned a qr code on a co-worker's shirt and from the fact there are now a poo poo ton of pictures and videos on it plus a picture of a stupid guy fawkes mask I'm pretty sure she was hacked. Problem - shortly after she came home I could no longer turn my phone on. I thought maybe it wasn't charged or I had left it unlocked in my pocket. Holding the power button does nothing. I left it on the charger for thirty minutes and tried again - nothing. The battery of course is non user serviceable so I don't have the tools to remove it. I can use an amp-meter to see that it is drawing charge from the charger... Is there another way to reset it besides the power button? Say the malware on her phone found it on our network and tried to remotely exploit it - could it have bricked my phone or did it just break at a coincidental time? Is there anyway to un-brick it if it were malware related?

I use my phone for: reading emails and news, twitter/texting, occasional video when I'm bored, no real gaming or picture taking, and getting around a giant city. I want a phone that will do all of these things for a long time with the brightness up and the smartphone quality of life gadgets like location tracking on - without having to game it with Tasker or anything. I'm coming from a broken Nexus 5 where the glass is starting to flake off, and I've only ever really had stock Android since the One. I should get the Play over the Moto G, right?

I would say you could hold off to see what the new Note looks like since they always have pretty large gently caress-off batteries but if you're really insistant on staying as close to stock android as possible that's probably your best bet.

Based on what he said I totally think the Moto G is the way to go. The new version has a much bigger battery, more efficient processor, and still has a good 720p screen so battery life should be excellent. He doesn't game and is more concerned with having a stock Android experience that works without a lot of micro managing. The Style might have battery life issues and he doesn't speak of any real reason to spend so much more on the Play. I've always ponied up for flagships but I think I'm on the Moto G train now, too. I've advised my wife both of my brothers to get Gs and they all rave about them.

You need to go back a few pages and read that Google plus post disparaging the Qualcomm 615 in the Play. Sounds like the big battery is to counteract the crappy chip. Based on benchmarks, manufacturer claims, reviews and anecdotes, you want the Sony Z3 or Z3C.

I had a second gen Moto G and got burned by it, but maybe the third gen Moto G with 2 Gigs of RAM (the $219 model) would be pretty good.

Tunga posted:Here, for reference. That guy is an Android Police writer and I consider his opinions to hold some value but I've not seen it mentioned anywhere else. The main nit I have to pick with his recommendation to avoid the 615 is what it's based on. "Here are a whole bunch of crappy phones that are crap and would be crap regardless of the SoC. Therefore, since they share the same SoC, the SoC must be crap as well." Edit: Not a review, but info. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7784/snapdragon-610-615-qualcomm-continues-down-its-64bit-warpath-with-48core-cortex-a53-designs Here is the bit that may be relevant as to why Moto chose the 615. quote:The two new SoCs are also pin compatible with the Snapdragon 410, offering phone vendors an easy way of designing a higher performance version of a 410 platform. So, if I were to guess, the Play probably shares the same mainboard as the G with only the SoC swapped out to save costs. This allows them to put out a higher performing G with a better GPU. Thermals are really the only reason why I could see that this could be problematic. Otherwise it's really just a 410 with double the cores and a Adreno 405 GPU. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Jul 30, 2015 |

Hughmoris posted:It looks like AnandTech finally has their LG G4 review up, for those interested. What's nice is we can use this review to extrapolate what the new Moto X will be like. 808 is interesting compared to the 810 or even 805. It certainly seems like the better choice than the 810 in this space due to the fact that it throttles far far less. However, it seems the GPU is weaker than the 805 in the Nexus 6 and Droid Turbo. Battery life looks to be really good though, this comments stuck out. quote:In LTE web browsing, we can really see the value of Qualcomm’s modem, as with Snapdragon 808 LTE web browsing is effectively identical in battery life to WiFi web browsing. Also, this points to the advanatages over the 810. quote:In Basemark OS II, we continue to see why LG has chosen to go with the Snapdragon 808. Although the battery performance is comparable to the One M9 here, in practice sustained performance is higher as the test manages to stay on the A57 cluster at around 800-600 MHz rather than dropping off to the A53 cluster from thermal throttling. Basically, the 810 overheats and has to hand off the tasks to the A53 cluster cores, effectively turning your phone into a Snapdragon 410 device. The 808 can keep the workload running on the A57 cores.

I had a ton of trouble getting my Note 4 to connect to my home wifi after it upgraded to Lollipop (wifi worked perfect with KitKat). I think I finally figured it out. I could connect to the wifi, but anything that required DNS would never work. My network is G/N mixed WPA2-personal, AES-only with an obnoxiously long passphrase. I tried pretty much everything except falling back to WEP or WPA encryption (no way). I could connect to several other WPA2 networks, but my home network didn't work. I did phone resets, router resets, static IP assignment, all kinds of things. I had three different access points, with SSIDs power_of_linux, den_of_inequity, and champagne_room. The first AP runs DD-WRT and the other two run OpenWRT. I couldn't get a working connection with any of them. Today I changed the first router's SSID to PowerOfLinux, and presto, full wifi connectivity. I removed the underscores from the other AP SSIDs, and they work perfectly, too. gently caress you Samsung, Sprint, and Google for having such a weird bug and not being able to help me.

That's $700 in Canada. I may just take the plunge for a Moto X Style at that price. I was just hoping it would come here quicker. However, I can always get it shipped to a PO box in Buffalo!

CLAM DOWN posted:It's down too $599 CAD now! I was trying to stay below the $500 the Style would probably cost. The unconfirmed CPU problem on the Play worries me but I won't be buying it until detailed reviews come out. The Moto G may be my best bet, but I really want battery to not be a problem. Mostly because I wander through various levels of lovely service even in the city, and that can drain battery very fast.

Given the same workload, I see no reason why the Play should drain a battery at a faster rate than the Moto G. Anecdotes aside, it's basically a Snapdragon 410 with double the cores. If all it's doing is sitting in you pocket and checking your email, their idle drain rate should be the same and the Play has a lot more battery capacity. Thermal issues can cause performance problems when running at full tilt, but that is going to be highly dependent on how well Moto does throttling and even how the phone is physically designed to dissipate heat. Worse comes to worse, they can disable half the cores and then they basically have a 410 with a better GPU. It is a dumb CPU. There's no reason to have 8xA53 cores. They probably would have been better off with a 610. But it seems few devices are using that. So, a list of devices was rattled off that I wouldn't even expect to be good with flagship components. There are others though. Samsung is using it in the Galaxy A7. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a7-review-1225p3.php quote:The Samsung Galaxy A7 comes with a 2,600mAh battery - the same size as the battery in a 5" Galaxy S4 and practically the same as the 5.1" Galaxy S6 battery. That's not a lot to feed a 5.5" screen and an octa-core processor, but it's the price you pay for the 6.3mm thinness. Plus, the Galaxy Alpha did quite well on a tiny battery. So, battery life seems to match the Z3 and the A7 is a full 1000mAh less than what will be in the Play. Throughout that review, they don't really mention any hanging or jankiness. The benchmarks are middling, but we know it isn't a very powerful device. However, all told, the A7 seems to be a good analog for what to expect with the X Play.
