http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/03/09/nexus-5x-update-includes-cooler-color-temp-option-performance-improvements-and-more/ In regards to the aforementioned 5x patch, it seems there's actual kernel tweaking in there aimed at fixing "sluggish performance" so we'll see if it fixes peoples woes. Also you can make the display color temp cooler now.

Mak0rz posted:Moto G3 with Android 6.0: Sounds like a corrupted cache but if it's getting rebuilt every time and it keeps happening then it's something that's corrupting it over and over (or failing NAND). Aside from a factory reset and gradually reinstalling apps, I'm not sure there's a way to troubleshoot this.

You could try clearing the cache partition by booting into recovery.

CLAM DOWN posted:4G and LTE are different connection levels on my N6 and Note 5. When I was in New Zealand on their carriers, I only got 4G and not LTE, but back here I get LTE and no 4G, so I'm honestly not sure what the difference is. On a lot of carriers, 4G is actually "faster than regular 3G" or HSPA+. "4G LTE" is just LTE. Carriers started rebranding 3G as 4G because their LTE networks weren't ready yet but they did have 3G networks capable of going up to LTE-ish speeds, like 20Mbps or something.

Now I'm sometimes getting 4G+? This is separate from H and H+ which occur occasionally (and when I make calls) which I assume indicate HSPA coverage. Did I somehow get some kind of weird international variant?

Note that this is not at all related to dumb US carriers doing poo poo on their branded phones like making HSPA show as 4G. Absolute pure vanilla virgin unblemished unbranded bloatware-free Android devices working just as Our Lord Duarte intended will still do this. It isn't anything to do with the vendor partition either. I first noticed it on my N7 years ago.

Tunga posted:There is some logic built into Android to toggle what is displayed based on the network that you're connected to. "4G"/"4" and "LTE"/"L" are exactly the same thing. In the UK you'll see 4G whereas in America you'll see LTE I think? It basically toggles based on how the tech is best known in that region. Yeah, there is a whole set of carrier profiles baked into AOSP that defines what icon should appear, for what network state, in what carrier. It's also the same set of data that defines things like whether tethering should contact the carrier to check for authorization.

FYI, Google will be launching a beta program signup later today that will get you the preview build OTA as well as all subsequent builds to the final version. Probably a better option than manual flashing if you have a device you want to use with it.

I was going to get Nexus 5X to replace my aging Moto G pos but reading this thread has me worried  Can some people with working Nexus 5X chime in and reassure my potential choice of superior 6P is out, too expensive in this corner of euroland. Was looking at Z5C/Z3C also but those seem to have their own problems...

ah forget it posted:I was going to get Nexus 5X to replace my aging Moto G pos but reading this thread has me worried I have a 5x and literally have had zero problems with it IRT battery life and performance, but there are enough complaints out there (and an incoming patch from Google addressing the performance stuff) that it's not just people being idiots; there's certainly a problem for some users. Probably a lot comes down to usage cases. I'm a very light user; I don't install any games and my average daily SoT is around 2 hours. Compare that to Daily Forecast above who didn't find 3hrs SoT acceptable, so obviously our usage cases are different and we're going to have different opinions of the phone. In other words it's a fine phone but it's not a powerhouse so YMMV.

bull3964 posted:Google is offering a 25% discount on the Pixel C if you are a developer. This is the first sign that Google might be taking tablet support seriously. Too bad for the price point, even with 25% off, the Pixel C isnt worth getting. More so when you consider how much their keyboard costs and the serious lack of features it has at that price point(big one, no backlit keyboard, for a $150.00 cost, what the hell Google?). Where the Surface Pro did things right, the Pixel C did almost all of it wrong. But, its a step in the right direction and i really hope to see a better product next iteration. Android Tablets are fantastic, except for the lack of Flash. I really want to see Google step up their game a bit.

Daily Forecast posted:How's battery life for you? It's fine? I guess I don't nitpick over screen on time to really know; I just use my phone and it works fine for the way I use it. I charge my phone at night, I have it plugged in to my car using Android Auto for my 30 minute morning drive, and I otherwise just have it sitting on my desk. The main kicker I notice is that previously if you ended up pulling down 5-10 apps from the store (say you did an update en masse), that used to grind the 5x to a complete halt until you rebooted. This is not a problem anymore. The camera also launches consistently quickly now.

ah forget it posted:I was going to get Nexus 5X to replace my aging Moto G pos but reading this thread has me worried I'm really happy with mine. The performance issues were rare for me anyway (and all but gone since I ditched fb), and the battery lasts me the bulk of the day. I charge it overnight so lack of multi day battery isn't something I really care about The camera is great, and I the couple of times it didn't open first time, it was a minor inconvenience The fingerprint scanner is so so good As with a lot of things you'll generally only hear people complaining, its not like anyone comes here to specifically post how great stuff is Skarsnik fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Mar 9, 2016 |

This is driving me crazy so hopefully one of you can help. On my LG G3 the alarm randomly goes off during the day. I only have one alarm set for the morning. It mostly seems to happen after I put the phone in my pocket and it only started happening after the recent update to 6.0.
