You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.

As long as there aren't any deal-breakers yet to be revealed and it's priced reasonably ($600 or less) this is definitely going to be my next phone. Also, holy crap the comment section on that video over on Crackberry.com is full of the most delusional fanboys I've seen, fully convinced that there will be a surprise BB10-only version of the phone or that the phone is really running BB10 with better Android emulation or something (despite the Play Store being prominently displayed in all of the leaks so far). :psyduck:

PICKLE SURPRISE!
So, I have a nexus 6 and I just got an update pushed the other day. Since then, wireless has just been loving broke. When I leave my house, it won't find the network when I come back. In fact, it doesn't see ANY networks anymore. Switching the wireless on and off shows nothing - sometimes the screen with the text talking about wireless won't go away, and sometimes the screen stays blank no matter what. It's really loving weird and coincides directly with this latest security push. Anyone seen this or know what is going on before I call google?

I had that but it worked itself out when Google Play Services updated.

Yep, routinely. Use the Up button to go back to the message list and the last message you sent is listed as the last message in the thread but it won't show up until then.

I'm having issues with my camera on my Turbo. Twist to capture sometimes won't open my camera at all, I'll get an error message saying the camera is busy and to try again and then restart if it still doesn't work. When it does pull up the camera it'll only pull up the front facing camera. If I close out of that and open up the camera app it also opens the front facing camera and I cannot switch to the regular camera. There's no button, period.

I've cleared app data on camera, force stopped it, restarted a million times, no luck. Not finding anything on Google. Help?

If a factory reset doesn't restore function, then my guess is the camera module must have gone bad.

All Turbos are still under warranty, so I would just do a warranty replacement.

I just got this Turbo after taking advantage of the screen replacement thing too, dangit. I'll try a factory reset and see what happens. The error also mentions disabling Trusted Face which I did, but I'm not sure if any other smart lock setting could be contributing.

If I end up needing a replacement, do I just take it to a Verizon Store?

Yeah me too, the video makes me want it even more. The only potential "deal breaker" I could see is no fingerprint reader, since that's obviously a big part of M, but I'm not convinced how useful it really is. I had an iPhone for a little while when they first implemented it and other than being more convenient to unlock/buy from the app store ( which is not an issue with Android since I have it so it doesn't prompt me on the rare occasions I actually buy an app ), I'm not convinced fingerprints are a very good security option.

WTF?
Has anyone else had several of their Google apps update multiple times in the last few days? I just received updates for Sheets, Docs, Wallet, and Photos, and I'm positive at least 3 of those updated recently. Of course, their change logs are not helpful.

Google updates their apps on Wednesdays and always with a staggered rollout. It's not inconceivable that one could be in the latter part of one rollout and the early part of a subsequent rollout and see updates fairly close together (think one or two weeks).

There have been two recent updates to the Drive suite of apps within the last month.

FYI Android Police always mentions when these apps get updated.

Thanks for updating google wallet to android pay on my 6 preview N5, google. I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy it once its compatible.
Except when its compatible I'll be using a 5X, not this N5.

After chatting with a Moto Support person online for a few minutes I have a replacement on the way.

I'm sure the Verizon store would have found a way to make it more painful.

I will be gone, but not forever.

Remember a few years ago when credible rumors stated the Nexus 6 (or maybe it was the 5?) was going to be the last Nexus and they were going to stop doing the program after that? And now there's going to be two.

edit: I suppose the N5 was the end of end of subsidized Nexus devices though.

You could buy Nexus 6 on contract from carriers.

Software update available for your Xperia Z3 Compact
There is a software update (v. 23.4.A.1.200) available for your device. Perform a software update and enjoy new features, better performance, speed and bug fixes. You can update the software today using your computer or wait until it’s available directly in your device (often within a couple of days). It's easy and no backup is needed.

I'm assuming it's the Stagefright fix.

From what I read on XDA, the .580 release came with a fix for 5/6 libraries. The partial StageFright fix in .580 was extracted from the actual release and packed into a flashable zip, but it doesn't fix the vulnerability completely so who gives a gently caress. I also read that the .200 release is actually a step backwards, with 0/6 patched, but a bunch of other unrelated bug fixes.
