Returned my 6P last week for a $150 DailySteals Nexus 5. Cricket $45/mo.  Battery hasn't been bad. Miss the fingerprint sensor, though. That deal on the 5X is impressive.

Then when I was trying to decide between the G6 and the G6 Edge+ I decided to go with an even slightly larger phone because I didn't want to go backwards in screen size, then for the first day I thought the phone was too big and I could use it one handed and now day two and it's fine. I mean maybe slightly more awkward to use one handed but not terrible. Oh, and I don't have huge mitts. Three Olives fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Nov 27, 2015 |

Though to be fair, the Nexus 5 is still a better phone than the Moto G if he wants to go the cheap route.

My wife was on day 15 for her N5x and got her return process started while jumping on the deal this morning. Also opened a purchase protection case study amex in hopes I can get some price matching for mine purchased in late October. Maybe I'll make money today.

ilkhan posted:How is that a bad thing? I figured since the app would close/get out of notification area since it would know it's not being used anymore. Kind of like how I can set it to start playing music when it detects it's in the car. It's not a huge deal, just annoying. Other than that, I have zero issues with car and phone Bluetooth working together. Doctor Butts fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Nov 27, 2015 |

Hi. I have a nexus 5. Is a 5x worth getting? I know the 6p has superior hardware but I like the size of the 5x and not 6p. This thread is a zillion pages long and all I've seen in the last few pages is bluetooth chat so someone please tell me if the 5x is worth the current black friday deals.

I'm trying to move a few files around my phone (using Windows Explorer) and it just hangs with the message "Waiting: MotoG3 is busy." Why is it always busy? How do I stop it from being busy? Hitting the phone against my desk did not work.

E: Looks like Airdroid can't do what I want (move things from one folder to another) without a Premium account so it was actually less effort to copy things to my computer, delete the originals, and re-copy them back into the desired folder on the device.

Hey so uh I didn't know Google actually did Black Friday sales so I bought a Nexus 5x earlier in the week. It was supposed to arrive today but the Fedex site says there was nobody home to pick it up today when I was here earlier (???) and won't be re-delivered until Monday. Is there any way for me to get in on the $80 off deal or did I miss my shot by ordering too early?

I was actually tempted to get the Nexus 5X for $350 but I can't justify upgrading it from the Z3. Thing still runs like a champ. And it seems the Motorola isn't going to do sales on 3rd gen Moto G for Cyber Monday. Boo!

I've been getting contradictory stories from articles regarding getting quick charging to work on a Nexus 6P, so I figured I'd ask this thread instead: 1. Aside from the official Google charger (that I can't buy as it's not available in my country), what other fast chargers are confirmed to work with the 6P? 2. If such a charger exists, will it work using any standard USB-A to USB-C cable? If not, what cables will it work with?

I just accidentally placed some custom sounds in the "Ringtones" directory and wanted to move them to "Notifications" where they belong. Seems Android is picky about where sounds are stored. I always end up doing exactly that every time I wipe or get a new phone because I'm dumb.

OK day three with the Edge+ and one thing that I never saw mentioned in reviews of why to buy the edge besides asthetics... Scrolling is amazing with a edge display, you just slide down the curved side, it feels amazingly natural. Three Olives fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Nov 28, 2015 |

anakha posted:I've been getting contradictory stories from articles regarding getting quick charging to work on a Nexus 6P, so I figured I'd ask this thread instead: As far as I know the quickest way to charge is having a 3A charger with a USB C to USB C cable. USB A to C shouldn't allow you to charge at 3 amps since that is out of spec. Some cables do though and can potentially smoke your older charger that's not capable of supplying 3A. That's what I got out of the whole USB A to C "cable gate" Problem is there aren't any 3A USB C chargers apart from the ones in the Google store. I think Anker is planning on releasing a charger with 3 USB A and one USB C ports but it's still "coming soon" last time I checked.

Do we have a list of C->A cables that meet the spec? I want to pick up a few and the one I got early on doesn't meet it. Google doesn't seem to have theirs on sale today but $13 doesn't seem too bad I suppose.

butt dickus posted:It's smaller and lighter. It still runs the latest version of the OS. When I get home, I plug my 6P in and use my 5 for texting and calling and my 7 if I want a bigger screen to read or something. The 6P too big to do phone stuff but still not big enough to do tablet stuff. I can set my 5 down on my Tylt when not using it and can just pick it up without having to mess with a cable. Pretty sure you're an edge case to be swapping between two phones like that, that's not normal.
