I have a problem. I can't stop buying phones. I ordered the 250 dollar 64GB Moto G4 Plus from Amazon last night. It will be my 3rd phone in 10 months, and surprisingly, the most expensive one.

Man the Note 7, when it doesn't explode, has amazing battery life. I got around 5.5 hours screen on time yesterday, put it on to charge at the power saving mode warning at 15%.

Anyone else got a Oneplus 3? I just ordered one and would like to hear if it's actually terrible before mine ships.

I've read a lot of reviews, watched tear down videos, photo comparisons etc and it looks great for the price. Just wondering if there is some big pitfall during actual real goon use that the reviews don't pick up on. Doesn't ship for a couple of weeks at least so I have time to cancel.

This isn't the best place to ask, as anyone will tell you that any phone that's not a Nexus is poo poo, except for the occasional post praising Samsung's top-tier phones. All I can say is it's been reviewing well across the board.

Are they bricking upon a firmware update, or just randomly?

The LG bootloop is a feature. That feature being "Hey, don't ever buy an LG phone again".

I've been on Nougat for a few weeks. I was just scrolling down Facebook and it locked up and shut down. It boot looped on the "Google" screen a few times before it powered back on, had about 1 minute of use before it did it again. Then it boot looped a bunch of times for a while. I tried going into recovery, but then it boot looped some more, and ceased working. No more boot loops, buttons don't do anything. I went through Nexus support and someone called me back almost immediately. (I swapped my SIM to my OG Moto X so they could call me. I really like how small this old phone is.) They said this is a known issue, and are escalating it. They asked for my IMEI number, which I'm glad I kept the box because I don't know how else I would get it. The next level support is supposed to contact me within 24 hours and process a replacement phone. The replacement phone will not be on Nougat, and they are advising that I do not update the new phone. The support guy has been very helpful and transparent about the issue. Overall, so far this has been the best support experience I have had. Kinda glad that I'm getting a replacement because the ear speaker was all static and distortion, the back was stained from that Diztronic case, and it would only do "charging rapidly" with the plug positioned on one side. If I flip the plug over, its just "charging." I've tried new plugs and cables and all that.

Syrinxx posted:This thread has lingering hatred for OnePlus due to their past mistakes but the fact is the OP3 is a loving great phone. My only minor complaint is I would prefer a slightly bigger battery instead of it being so thin. Have you experienced a lot of bugs? Wifi issues etc.? I'm also considering a OP3 and I've read confusing things. It's reviewed really well with critics but a lot of users seem to be reporting bugginess and instability. But the bugs themselves are inconsistent, ever person who says they get a bug is met with someone saying they don't. It makes it hard to uh, settle, on a decision. e: mmm posted early by accident. finished the post. QueerPope fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Sep 26, 2016 |

The second I opened the page and saw that the header image showed a Nexus 5 instead of a Nexus 5x, I lost any interest to read the article.

On the other hand, since I broke down and flashed the NRD90U OTA to my 6p, I've been getting way better battery life.

The good thing is that the Nexus 5x was released Oct 22, so all of them are with in the one year warranty.

Kinda half tempted to just sell the 5x they're gonna send me and sit out a month and wait for the Pixel phone so I can continue this process of self flagellation.

Otherwise I use the phone with an array of Bluetooth devices, I run a lot of games and social apps and the typical array of other stuff. Everything works fine and the wifi and cell reception (Cricket/AT&T) are just as good as the Moto X Pure I replaced. No instability of any kind in the OS. Been really happy with the phone.

All kinds of stuff flying around today about Andromeda which is the project code for the merging of Android and ChromeOS. Current rumors is the new Nexus 7p will have it along with a Pixel 3 that should launch in 2017.

Desk Lamp posted:I'm a Note user now, so I certainly don't care about getting updates on the exact day they come out. The Droid Maxx was effectively abandoned three months after it launched though, even the special snowflake American variants of the original Galaxy S got better support than that. I doubt this is getting N but it got M. It's also had some updates after M.

But MotoG4 has this wired problem that it doesn't let me install some apps such as BSPlayer and Moboplayer. I have no idea why. Plus there is no root. So I am also getting a new Sam S5 to try it out.

My S5 is doing a bang up job right now and I can't see why I'd upgrade for a considerable time. It's up to date and will get N, so why not get an S5 if money is tight?

Because with Samsung's terrible memory management it constantly kicks apps out of memory even with 2GB. It performs like a 1GB or less phone in terms of memory management. It's fingerprint scanner is trash compared to any modern phone. And it doesn't even support MST, one of the few potentially interesting Samsung specific things. Is it worthless if money is tight? No. But I'm sure you can find a better not-2.5 year old phone to grab instead if money is the primary motivator.
