No one should get an HTC 10, the Moto X is still the best phone of 2015-current.

Also kind of funny bringing up Moto after the horror stories coming out about their support over the last year or so. That seems infinitely worse than the bad customer support tales in here.

I finally upgraded my wonderful relay 4g, the last drat phone with a keyboard I could really find, to a 5x. It works great for a dirty no keyboard phone. Mostly just want to also say whatever million updates that happened between launch and when I got this sure seems to have ironed out any bugs people were having at first. I haven't had a single issue yet.

Mainly the price steered me away from that one. I've been on sidekicks since they came out so I've always used the landscape keyboard phones. Got good enough to touch type on them. It really weirds people out if you look at them and type on a cell at the same time. Imma miss that

I mean obviously they just forgot to install the spyware on it before it left the factory, so it's making a quick trip back for that.

Or every android phone just runs stock. I don't understand why they don't to be honest. They're just making more work for themselves. They have to hire teams of developers to make the UI to go over stock android, then they have to keep everything up to date. I just don't get it.

It would be nice to even get updates. My maxx was done with updates within...4 months? A lot of people here recommended it at the time and shortly after I got it Motorola was like nope sorry that's it. Nothing else. I don't feel like I'm missing a whole lot, but it still irks me. When Samsung is kicking your rear end on that front you know you've hosed up.

Quick question for the thread: I have a Nexus 5X, currently up to date on everything. I like having my notification content hidden on my lockscreen, but still visible. Is there a way to have that without the "content hidden" message?

On Terra Firma posted:Or every android phone just runs stock. Back in the gingerbread days Android looked like hot garbage, so OEMs did that to differentiate themselves. Its just spiraled out of control since then. Also, like Windows, if they didn't skin android there'd be no way for OEMs to differentiate their product and it'd be even more of a profitless race to the bottom on hardware like also with Windows OEMs.

That you had to import and you can't actually exercise the warranty if you need to. Samsung hates America and you shouldn't endorse their behavior with money.

You need to change your address in Google Payments to a Japanese one and then wait like an hour. If you have a Japanese credit card or something, sometimes buying and then refunding an app using that will make it change faster.

And when you can plug the hardware directly into your nervous system we can stop factoring in the software. EDIT: Actually we couldn't; we'd still have to deal with Samsung's APIs and I wouldn't put it past them to make their own snowflake mind-machine interface.

Also the odds are decent HTC doesn't make it through their three-year Nexus contract under their own funding and Google straight-up buys them.
