The real coolest feature that stopped working in 3.0 was search + letter on a keyboard would jump you between preset apps. But the recent apps works well enough now.

Apple/HTC/Samsung must have made really good hardware keyboards to drain blackberry's userbase that thoroughly.

I think that's pretty accurate. Throw in the fact that keyboards, especially ones with slider mechanisms, take up a lot of room that would otherwise go to battery and in these times where a 5" screen is the norm, you need all the battery you can get. Remember the last good keyboard phone, the G2, had a 3.7" screen. Like you said though they're just way more expensive to make, far harder to localize, and more prone to break for a feature most people don't want at all. Nice that someone is catering to the niche now, though, as I don't think anyone thinks that there just aren't enough featureless monoliths out there.

If they make a Blackberry Classic-esque phone running stock Android I'll buy it so fast heads will loving spin. I might give the Venice a try, but I am extremely skeptical of its durability, and strongly suspect that the first tumble it'll take (case or not) that loving keyboard is going to break.

Has anyone installed M Preview 3 on their N5? I know, it's a preview, not for general use, bla bla, sure. Have been running Preview 1 & 2 since they came out with zero issues and the UI improvements are worthwhile over Lollipop. Mostly just wondering if SMS is totally broken as the patchnotes indicate.

Sending an sms from hangouts, it says it's sent, but then once you go back it's disappeared from the conversation. As far as I can tell it gets sent fine though Same with receiving, you'll get the preview pop up, but then there's no sign of it on the conversation screen Both last sent and received still show on the conversation list, under their user name though Stuff like pushbullet, sms backup + etc cant seem to see them either

http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/08/new-data-uncovers-the-surprising-predictability-of-android-lock-patterns/ Pretty interesting article detailing why the Android pattern unlock isn't as secure as people think due to users making the patterns too easy and leaving the "Make pattern visible" option on. If you use a 8 or 9 point pattern, that has overlaps, and turn off the "Make pattern visible" option, things would be a lot harder to guess. I like how, unlike most articles and studies, the guy basically broke it down scientifically and didn't really blame the software feature but the humans using it. He studied both males and females to see which patterns were used the most. Apparently, males use more complex patterns than females do and most everyone starts in the top-left corner.

I'm having the widest thing happening with my Nexus 6. Three times in the past three days (do once per day) audio has started playing from my phone while it's locked and either sitting on my desk or in my pocket. The first two times it sounded like some kind of DIY YouTube video but it just happened again about five minutes ago and it was some song that I didn't recognize. I tried killing all the apps that were open using the app switcher thing and it still kept playing. The past two days it happened the only way I found to stop the audio was to play something else and then pause whatever I started playing, but today the song ended before I got a chance to do that since I was trying to kill apps to see I could figure out what the hell is doing this. The weird thing is, the two DIY-sounding things are definitely things I've never watched and the song was one that I didn't recognize at all. And I don't even have any music stored on my phone. So what the hell could be causing this? Apart from this really weird thing, the phone seems to be acting normal.

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I need advice. I purchased a note 3 n900a from Swappa and this morning I noticed a horizontal "band" on the screen that is darker than the rest of the screen. It starts about 1/4" from the top and extends 3" down. Might be the same size as one of the widgets on the home screen? I only noticed it on a white background but now that my eyes are trained it's visible with any solid color on the screen. It stays put if I rotate the phone. Is this normal or should I be asking for a refund? The photos in the listing were of the multicolored lock screen so it wasn't visible and it wasn't mentioned in the text. I'm not even sure how to succinctly describe the problem and I have no idea if it's fixable.

I'm on MPA44l, the new one However I did only fastboot flash the system.img, as apparently that's all that changed I wonder if it's an issue similar to the contacts db bug if you upgraded from 1 to 2. It had a new schema but no code to upgrade it No time for a clean flash today though

I use a secure lockscreen and LastPass. There must be something else to it. DOOP posted:This is a dumb question Yes. The easiest way is to sync your iTunes library to Google Music and use that. There's an app that you can use to automatically add new iTunes music to Google Music once your entire library is synced.

Tunga posted:The difference is that the N6 has mandatory device encryption. I've tried using it anyway and I don't see much different I guess? I do care about the encryption though.  I live in a lovely part of town and whatever helps me keep personal info from prying eyes, the better. If I have to just use the app and constantly do the Copy Notifications, I suppose that'd not be too bad.I never actually saw that come up on my N4 or N7 so yeah, I'm assuming it's new to the 6 and 9.

Sudden Nexus 6 problems here - only since I've installed the Stagefright OTA but I don't know if that's the cause. A few times a day, my screen will turn off randomly while I'm using the phone, and after I wake it up it will happen again 1-2 times in quick succession, sometimes just going to lock screen instead of switching off the screen. I haven't done any mods or anything weird to the phone, it's been perfect so far. Anyone else seen anything like this? Sinjang fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Aug 20, 2015 |

The proximity sensor on the N6 is really really sensitive, and a screen protector will trip it, and make it think it's covered. My N6 at first would immediately go black when I got on a phone call, and I eventually found a google groups post with that issue. They keep tweaking the sensitivity settings in different updates, so it works and then doesn't as you update.

I'm new to Android, so this may or may not be a stupid question. Have had the S6 for a few months now, and use power-amp as my main music player. I'm streaming music in my truck via Bluetooth, and place / take a phone call, then get out of the truck while still on the phone. When the phone call ends, my music starts up again over the phone speakers. It can be rather embarrassing depending on the crappy music I have playing at the time. I have "Pause on Headset Disconnect" checked in power amp settings. Any ideas? Somtimes it's a quick 2 seconds of audio then it terminates. But often times it just keeps playing into I manually stop it.
