The September 3rd date was tweeted but later deleted, so no one really knows for sure.

September 3rd might be the date preorders start, and then later in the month it'll be released but who knows.

Generally Moto launches the same day the stuff comes up for sale. I mean, it could be different this time, but generally they are shipping as soon as orders go live.

The Nexus 6 has a screen resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. My largest monitor at home is 1680x1050, and the largest monitor I see at work is 1920x1080. I'm getting a Nexus 6 tomorrow. My new phone will have a larger screen resolution (and consequently a larger DPI) than literally any other electronic device I've ever interacted with in my life, and will probably remain that way for a few more years.

Biggest human being Ever posted:SD cards are getting an interesting new feature in Android M, they'll will be able to be "merged" with internal storage: So if you merge your SD card with internal storage, what happens when your SD card fails? If they make one big filesystem out of the combination and the card goes bad, then do you lose all your poo poo, or just half of it?

Are there any Tempered Glass Screen Protectors for the Nexus 6 that don't have adhesion or halo issues? Or should I go with a traditional plastic one? I've tried both the Mxx and Yootech protectors and have had sub-par experiences with both.

As Endless Mike says, we don't know but you'll likely lose everything. It's really a worst of all worlds scenario as you can't remove it or interact with it in any meaningful way but it's slower and less reliable than just having on-device NAND. Anything that SD cards would be useful for like filling up with large media for consumption later is no longer any easier than it would be if it wasn't present and instead the cost is passed along to end user to buy and maintain after the fact. SD cards are a solution in search of a problem and OEMs put them in because if there's anything Android OEMs are good at, it's creating problems.

No they did it because they can save $0.20 by putting in a SD card slot in lieu of doubling storage and when you're making negative dollars on each phone sold that's a godsend. They'll make it up in volume. There's gonna be a lot of really unhappy people who stick their SD cards full of pirated ROMs and 10-bit animes in their phones and are told they can't use them until they're reformatted to work with the new file system.

My hunch is that the software will try to intelligently shuffle some files to the SD card (music, video files, etc.) and keep others on the storage rather than just treating it like a dumb RAID 0 setup. Still, it creates plenty of headaches and unless they have some genius solution none of us have foreseen I wish they'd just stick with the status quo. The other end of the equation is that if your phone breaks anything stored on the SD card is probably fine, but anything on the internal memory is probably toast. edit: SD card chat

Keep in mind that Comic Sans was the font chosen by the Highs team at CERN when they released their preliminary "we found it" announcement: http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/4/3136652/cern-scientists-comic-sans-higgs-boson They find the subatomic particle that might be behind things having mass and they make the PowerPoint in comic sans.

The other end of the equation is that if your phone breaks anything stored on the SD card is probably fine, but anything on the internal memory is probably toast. Or just don't have an SD card slot and revoke Google Play licensing - and enjoin Google API app/shim access - from anything shipping with less than 16 gigs (In an ideal world I'd say 64 but I'm vindictive). I'm starting to lean toward full-fat Chrome OS as a phone/tablet OS, at least if Google can be bothered. I think Android might be screwed long-term. baka kaba posted:Maybe they'll finally be able to explain why Comic Sans has such mass appeal Okay, you get clever points.

There is no way this will happen. What will happen is you'll insert it and it will tell you that it will format it to marry it to the filesystem and if you remove it everything on the internal storage will get deleted too.Didn't they say though that you still have the option of not marrying it to the filesystem and using the current Lollipop implementation? If so at least that preserves the use case for people who actually use it. The filesystem marriage option is simply going to be to supplement poorphones.

Is there any way to adjust the volume step of headphones? Currently it feels like it's something like 9-12dB while 1.5-3dB would be better. When I'm trying to listen to music it's either very quiet or, with next step, too loving loud. This is with a rooted GT-N7000 but basically I have had the same problem with all digitally controlled amps, unless it's a real home theater amp with 0.5dB steps.

I'm not going to promise you anything but maybe. Have you looked around to see if there's an Xposed module that can handle this? It was definitely a thing that used to happen back in the custom ROM days but I can't imagine you're looking to go that far for this.

Yeah the N6 camera has always been the achilles heel that has me still paying attention to new phones. The screen doesn't look great next to new Samsungs either. But the stock android bug has me, and now my wife wants the next Nexus 5 after three years with an S4.

I'm actually running CM12.1 based Nightowl ROM because Samsung's Android updates stopped at 4.1.2. There has been so many security issues afterwards so I had to upgrade to a safer version. 5.1.1 runs "pretty well" despite my phone having only 1GB of ram. I need to look at it if there's some app or perhaps a config file I could edit to provide finer-grained volume adjustment.

So my home and literally all my possessions were destroyed Thursday in a flood. I'm using a burner moto e (which is actually a pretty decent phone) and I'm curious how to remove my "home" address in Google (since all it does now is remind me of the thousands of dollars worth of electronics destroyed by an act of God not covered by insurance..)

I'm sorry to hear that.  You can edit your addresses from within either Maps or somewhere else (I think it used to be G+ but it might be Location Settings now). It's definitely in Maps though.I hope things improve for you.

Are there rumors for any upcoming events Google has scheduled to announce the new Nexus phones? I'm considering either an X Pure or N5 (maybe N6), but I don't want to wait months. Maybe I'll buy an X when it comes out, and sell it if I like either of the Nexus phones better.

There are rumors that the new N5 is going to come out at the end of September, which would work well with Google's "Q3" release of 6.0.
