paradoxGentleman posted:Alright, here goes. There really isn't a good solution to this, but there are a couple of things that can help 1/ Uninstall the updates then disable every bundled app you don't want to use (stuff like G+ is surprisingly large). Reason for this is the initial shipped version of the app lives in a separate partition, but any updates you install will go onto the normal app partition using up space that could better be used for apps you actually want to use. 2/ Use the browser instead of apps where possible - some stuff like the Facebook app is huge and the experience through the browser is better anyway. May also apply to stuff like Twitter and Tumblr (depending on how heavy a user you are) 3/ Regularly clear the cache on browsers and other large apps 4/ Get annoyed with how ridiculous this is and buy a new phone that has AT LEAST 8GB of internal storage available

I'm no fan of OPO but to be fair, had that editorial been about any other company the response would've probably been the same. I can't see Apple or Samsung not blacklisting a site that writes a rant like that about them.

That wouldn't happen though because regardless of what you think of Apple or Samsung their business models are way less out there.

OP can't act like Samsung or Apple. Their only saving grace was the enthusiast community who tolerated their poo poo because they were cheap, filled spec boxes, and used a garbage third party ROM that they loved.

OnePlus can totally act like Samsung or Apple, it's just probably not a great idea because they don't have the heft of Samsung or Apple, to let them get away with it. Now would be the time to be hyper-professional and send off some response addressing the issues and then they'll probably append it and you look great even if you never follow through on fixing things, instead of limiting the amount of exposure the product gets.

The S6 is sold at a pretty good price in Europe too now, 530€. A lot better than the 700€ they still ask here in barely-europe, Finland. Now if they managed to finally start selling the S6 Active here too. I don't want to grip tape my phone and when looking at my plastic phones after a few years, the glass&aluminium wouldn't last a week.

The Leck posted:How does the new Moto G compare to the Nexus 5? They seem to be about the same price, and I need to replace a semi-broken Nexus 4. It seems like these are my main two options in roughly the same size range. Nexus 5 has a 1080p screen vs. the 720p in the G. G has a bigger battery and newer SoC and is water resistant.

Does the 720-1080 make a big difference for screen real estate on a 5", or is it mainly just for media use?

No full reviews yet that I know of for the 2015 G. However, the Moto E 2015 LTE has been reviewed and it has the same SoC and a slightly smaller battery. The only real difference is screen resolution. The new Moto E has benchmarked some really good battery numbers. http://www.anandtech.com/show/9129/the-moto-e-2015-review/7

Well, gently caress. My month-old G2 just had the notification light double blink and now it won't turn on in any way. Any advice? I really don't have the money to buy another new phone right now. Actually, I think it just might scrape in within a month, which I think is the return window.

Hold the power button for a really long time, like 30 seconds. Should reset it.

Will that uninstall everything?  Holding it for like 30 seconds worked, my fiancee was messing with it. But it only did that after she had unplugged it from the USB I was charging it with, and plugged it into another. Anyone know what's going on? I'm worried it's a sign of something worse. E: It didn't uninstall everything.

5.1.1 on the Z3c did NOT fix the audio pausing, but did improve it. The phone doesn't seem to suffer from the lag it had before but the pausing continues. No, my headphone jack does not have lint in it. Strange thing is, it almost feels like it's tied to the accelerometer. If I stop, accelerate, or turn sharply I can nearly guarantee it to pause. Is there a linkage between the two similar to how audio pauses when you pull out a set of headphones? Then again, it did it while I was just walking normally the other day.

Don't have mine yet, but apparently the battery life is supposed to be excellent on the new Moto G. edit: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2954577/android/new-moto-g-2015.html posted:Battery life on this sucker has been outstanding for me so far: I've made it through both of my days with the Moto G without worrying once about power. Even with as much as four hours of active screen-on use, I've yet to dip below the 50% mark in a single day -- which is impressive, to say the least. I imagine a gigantic loving battery (for this size of phone) paired with rather low-powered hardware is a winner. Daily Forecast fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Aug 2, 2015 |

Are LG G2s in general lovely, or did I just get unlucky? For all I know this was just a fluke that won't come up again, but I'm definitely looking at getting a new one. I can start a return until the 9th, so I'm looking for a new phone. I just really want something with T-Mobile WiFi calling, and the only other candidate that fits in my daisy duke jort pockets is the HTC M7. No Motorola phones are sold by T-Mobile, even though they make models that specifically have all of T-Mobile's bands.

Nexus 6 is too big, and it's too expensive. I forgot to mention my absolute maximum is $300, and I'd like to keep it under that. I'm probably going to have to put it on my credit card, and I want to at least minimize the cost once I get the refund back from Amazon. E: I know I'm a tremendous pain in the rear end about phones in this thread. I'm sorry . I'd probably ditch T-Mobile if it wasn't being paid for by someone else, go to AT&T, and get one of those mini cell tower things for my fiancee and I.
