I'm switching from T-Mobile nerd plan to Fi. I'm almost always around WiFi, so I only use about 1 gig a month. So for me it's roughly the same price, and I gain unlimited calling and coverage in areas where Sprint has coverage that T-Mobile doesn't, which is significant around here.

With fi, you also have the looming spectre of possibly running on spring's network which is a fate worse then death

As my Nexus 4 is starting to having some rather annoying bugs, it seems that it is pretty much time for me to upgrade to a new phone. Is there any reason why I shouldn't get the Nexus 5x? I'm still being quoted 700$ for the S5 or the Xperia Z3 and they're not even the newest models  ! Thankfully, the Nexus 5x (32 gb) is priced at around 559 and it really seems like the best option (I also can't stand the size of the 6p, or any phablets for that matter).

Nexus Shipping chat: I got in with in five seconds of them being available on the play store, my order page says "processing - october 25-27". Did everyone's switch to "shipping" and then it arrived, or did it just magically appear? I've been on vacation, and my mail has been on hold until today, so I'm hoping it's coming in the huge pile of mail and boxes I'll get when I return home.

Tunga posted:Check play.google.com -> cog button -> My Account and it should give you a "leaves warehouse by XX" date. For some reason there are two different places to see the status of the order and only one shows the estimated arrival and only the other shows the shipping date. And by "for some reason" I mean "because Google". Plot twist: it will ship on another random day that's not listed, because Google. But we will be happy because we can get our cheeto fingers on it sooner, providing we are home to receive it on this randomly selected surprise delivery day. The true Google Experience.

Well, I finally get off my indecisive rear end today and go to order a 6P and...loving out of stock god drat it. Not sure if it's just Canada or Google's stock in general though, but it's not even a variation specific thing - there is no option to choose even the shittiest colour/storage combo - just out of loving stock. Is this news or am I just the first person to try ordering one since they went out of stock? What kind of an ETA do you think we're talking here - all I could do was sign up for the waitlist but that hasn't sent me poo poo so far - not even a "Welcome to the wait list, we'll let you know when your poo poo arrives". I ordered the case anyway because well, maybe at least it'll arrive before/if the 6P is ever in stock again. Semi-related, Android Pay is not on the canadian play store yet and who knows when if ever it will be. I'd like to finally get in on this rewards-card-on-my-phone action since I have a billion of these things and never carry them with me. I know you could do it through Google Wallet, and there are apps like Stocard or Key Ring - but which one is the BEST? Consider I am in if it matters.

Aluminum and Graphite 32GB are available still in the US, but the others are out of stock. So looks like that's Canada specific, but it's not a ton better here!

The 6P has been showing as out of stock for several combinations for the last week or so. Last I checked (a day or two ago), I think one or two of the 32 GB versions were still available in the US.

I was desperately trolling google for info and someone posted on Android Central that you can pre-order directly from Huawei and sometimes save on Sales tax depending where you are. http://www.gethuawei.com/nexus6p Not sure how much better an option that is compared to ordering through Google but, I guess it's an option. [edit] Looks like it's only an option for the US - there's no other country choice when you try to pick for shipping/tax in the checkout. I could order to my mailbox in the US but they'd definitely pull me in to pay tax on the way back and that combined with the lovely exchange rate will cost me more than just waiting with Google.

At this point, I don't remember what life was like before I placed my Nexus 6P order. Important Question: what is the best type of cardboard that a man could use to make a cardboard cutout of his future phone?

Check your shipping address for your orders. My Google Wallet default shipping address is a place I lived literally 9 years ago. I saw my phone is shipping today, so I looked at when, and was shocked to see that it's shipping to where my family is from -- a 6 hour drive. I called, and they can't change it. They can either hold the package, or refund me and have me place another order. Either way, it seems like a fair amount of work that I have to do, for a mistake I didn't make. I haven't even thought of that address in nearly a decade, and I sure as hell didn't type it into a form. Ironically I am visiting my family this weekend, and the shipping hub is open Saturday, so I told them I'll pick it up.

It used to take great pictures but then suddenly every low light picture turned into a purple/red mess. I never even bothered to google the issue. Oh well, it led me to get a '14 Moto X which I love.

Everything from start up time->auto focus->snap, moving objects, low light, bright light, etc. Note 4 camera is quick to start up, quick to focus, quick to everything. Only slow thing is when you try to view your last shot, it can take like 10 seconds to get there. Picture quality is amazing in good lighting, perfectly acceptable in low light, and pretty good for moving objects. I've only played with the G4's camera, but it was better than the Note 4 in almost every way from what I could tell. Low light pictures were particularly better.

Holy hell. When I bought my Nexus 5 2 years ago it was reasonably priced, but for some reason Google has decided to price gouge the Japanese market for the 5x. Google wants $500 for the 16GB model direct from them and Softbank wants $600 for that same phone. Edit: In doing some research it looks like Google has done more agreements with carriers in Japan who are giving subsidies on the phone with new phone contracts. So I bet there were a bunch of agreements with all the carriers to not undercut them on the unlocked version. ErIog fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Oct 20, 2015 |

Hey Android folk, I'm looking for a last ditch way to recover my text messages off of a basically dead Nexus 5. The issue: when trying to install Marshmallow, it asked me to plug the phone in before starting the install since it was low on battery. I did that, proceeded with the install, and when I came back a while later the phone was useless. I can turn it "on" in the sense that I can get it to vibrate by holding the power button, and the screen is definitely getting power since when I press the power button the screen sort of lights up even though it's black (it looks like a backlight is lighting the black screen). The notification light also flashes sometimes. I've contacted Google and they sent me a new device. Before I send the dead one to them, however, I would really like to get my old text messages (which I now realize I should have backed up). What I've tried:
Is there any hope for me?

But hey, you say, the dollar / euro exchange rate was higher back then. Yeah but it was still 'only' ~ $547 (vs $400 in the US) . And the 32gb will apparently be 529€ ($599.36 vs $429). Then again, I paid 539€ ($729.10 at the time) for a 16gb Gnex back in the day. So yeah, I'm probably going to order one anyway (once I can order one,   ), though probably only a 16gb one.
