It's using the new USB C connector, and USB C power specs are already beyond what Qualcomm Quick Charge specs. Therefore they can't call it Quick Charge because that's probably a Qualcomm trademark, but they can say it charges really fast!

Figured if I was on a roll with new Chromecasts and a phone, might as well get some shiny new chargers and cables.

My wife is contemplating upgrading her Galaxy s5 to either an s6 edge plus or s6 active. Any helpful reviews or anecdotes you can point me to that would help her decide?

Endless Mike posted:Band 12 is their 700 MHz band which helps with building penetration and it's not particularly wide-spread, even by T-Mobile terms. Your current phone probably doesn't have it (the list of phones that support it is very small), and if you're fine with your coverage, it's probably not a big deal. I think the Galaxy S6 has band 12. At least a quick Google search says so. That's what I'm currently using. Either way thanks for the answer

Initial impressions on the 5x from Android Police (surprised they didn't have this yesterday, they sure had everything else) http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/09/29/nexus-5x-hands-on-light-fun-and-friendly/ Edit: And that black glass bar on the 6p is there for the antennas etc. http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/09/29/the-nexus-6ps-big-black-glass-bar-is-a-window-for-nfc-and-various-antennas/ Red Warrior fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Sep 29, 2015 |

I have a PS3 that I use for Netflix and streaming stuff from my computer (via the free version of Plex). Would I gain anything by getting a Chromecast?

I pre-ordered the 6P and have a delivery date of November 2-3. Everything I've read (including the confirmation email) says they won't charge you until it ships. I'm pretty sure I just got charged for the whole thing. Is this normal?

Google seems grown up to me for not bothering and treating this like a press release instead of an E3 conference.

Waiting on hands-on on the 6P. Anybody see a max charging wattage on these two? The 15W wall charger has this as the fine print: quote:¹Wattage is optimized for smaller devices, like phones and tablets. Larger devices, like laptops, will take longer to charge. Delivers maximum charge speed to Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. Charge time depends on USB Type-C device. Larger devices, such as the Chromebook Pixel, will typically need more charge time with this adapter (Pixel estimated charge time is 5.6 hours at 15W with system off).

I fully admit to skipping 73 pages of "ordered and shipping on saturtuesday of junetober" but is there any indication they'll OTA devices that are already on the M preview? If I have to lose my Fallout Shelter progress because it doesn't have cloud saving and Helium works when it loving wants to I will cry big fat crocodile tears.

Disappointing though as T-Mobile doesn't seem to have this poo poo figured out-of-the-box for anything that isn't a T-Mobile branded phone and it improves one of their huge flaws

Just caught up on all this Nexus stuff. Of course, my country has an email signup wait list only. Also, no RGB LED on the 5X is a sin.

I'm sure you can just remove -w from the flash-all script when they post the images. No OTA to final is the position.

Looked at the new Chromecast on the google store and thought it was the beats logo for a moment. Which came first, the flat chrome logo or the beats icon? Because man those are similar when you don't have the chrome colors. Just a couple extra lines.

Ordered the Nexus 6P Graphite 128GB + Nexus Protect. After tax it came out to be around $800. Pretty expensive but I'll be selling my N5 soon and the resale value with Nexus Protect will be good in 1.5 years if I decide to sell the phone. Also, what is the difference between the USB-C 2.0 vs USB-C 3.0? Does the cable that comes with the 6P a 3.0 or 2.0? All I see on MonoPrice and Amazon are 2.0 cables.

I bought a chromecast at launch and the better wifi is a selling point for me, so I'll probably move the old one into another room. I hope the caching thing is as good as they say but even if it's not, I have great wifi and I don't really mind the mere seconds it will save me. Them talking about these great new colors while literally saying it's built to easily hide behind the TV makes me think that the marketing team insisted on making different colors while the development team continues to think it's the stupidest idea in the world.

Their original, and still, stance is no OTA from M Preview to Final. You'll have to flash. That being said, doesn't M include a new app-data-backup system? Shouldn't your game be backed up anyway?

According to the listing the two devices comes with two cables. USB-C on both ends and USB-C to regular USB (like a laptop plug end).
