GWBBQ posted:After a year using a Moto X 2013 with its allegedly terrible camera, I can only conclude that people's expectations of phone cameras are completely detached from reality. I don't know about detached from reality but if you've ever used an iphone 5 and above or any of the 900-1000-1500 series nokia lumia phones, they take very fast, sharp, well colored shots. The droid turbo I have takes great photos but I'd put them on par with the Lumia 928 I had a year ago that came out a year and a half ago and on par with an iphone 5. Motorola specific but the camera interface is loving terrible. Googles is at least somewhat acceptable.

My camera could take cave painting quality photos and I probably wouldn't notice.

It seems like we never have much to talk about because we're just going to jump back into long winded phone camera conversations. Which will then move into SD cards.

There would be two posts/month in IYG if we didn't rehash conversations over and over and I wouldn't have anything to mod. Thermopyle fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Dec 18, 2014 |

Just to stir the pot, why do we even still call them phones? Making and receiving phone calls hasn't been their primary purpose for most people in a long time. The argument of "what do you expect from a camera on a phooooone" could be applied to literally every problem we bitch about on our "phones" in this thread.

So I finally got my Droid Turbo. First smart phone ever. What are the cool features that I should be taking advantage of? EDIT: vvv Lol, I meant more like voice commands and what not, this has the Moto features that are supposed to be pretty good, I think. -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Dec 19, 2014 |

Get Unified Remote and control your computer from the couch. It sounds so simple, but it's the one thing that's made me sit back and think "goddamn, we're living in the future". Video calling and navigation are pretty cool too I guess.

For those of you who were or are getting awful home screen redrawing. I side loaded lollipop without doing a wipe and had awful screen redraws. Sometimes 1-3 seconds of waiting for the home screen to have icons etc. I did a full system backup with adb and since then, (when I was on 5.0) had no issues, still looks good since upgrading to 5.0.1. Another weird thing was I couldn't get a good backup until I used the USB cable that came with the phone.

I did have redraw issues after doing a clean flash of 5.0 but haven't seen any in the two days since putting on 5.0.1.

I seriously don't know why google doesn't just give every app on every android phone 1-5MB of space on google drive to use for config data and have it automatically pull down when put on a new device.

To be fair, Samsung sets such a low bar that even CyanogenMod can clear it. Also Knox is kind of a sick joke unless you have an S5 or Note 4 or something, so you're using Nine or something anyway. Doesn't change the fact that CM has less right to talk about Android distributions than, like, uncontacted Sentinelese peoples. Edit: and Google brought full-device encryption to everyone with 5.0 anyway, so we probably don't need to defend the poor little comically-BIGNUM-faced Korean transnational corporation on our own time. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Dec 19, 2014 |

Lol, after running CM exclusively since I got my first Android 6 years ago, I kept my Note 4 unrooted specifically because I was loving sick of my phone's OS being constantly broken. The only gripes I even have with the drat thing are basically "can't ad block", "can't titanium backup", "system menu/config tray/notification shade have a suboptimal layout". That poo poo is all super tolerable. Running any custom rom (even CM) these days feels a bit like installing a bunch of broken rear end shell hacks and themers on modern windows because you want your Win 95 start menu and theme back.

Insane Totoro posted:What am I looking at? I guess it used to be a fox. You could probably still make a hat out of that tail. Anyway, I tried to put over-exposed, normal and low light shots into that folder to show the capabilities of the Z3. The one with the bee hives is over-exposed for example, don't know what happened there. On the other hand I really like the colors in the two shots with green grass and mountains. The grass is green, the sky is blue. Nothing to complain there.

I said come in! posted:I just replaced my 1st gen Moto X, a lot of the reason being because it was doing this very thing as well. I wouldn't say it was several seconds tho, but there were still noticeable delays. I just passed it off as the hardware having trouble keeping up with all of the software updates or something. I have no idea. Yeah but still, shouldn't a phone be useable without lag for more than one year or two OS updates? Especially if it's supposed to be a kind of a flagship :/ Stick100 posted:What's going on in the background. My 2013 X will occasionally stutter when downloading/updating apps. I ended up getting rid of a couple apps that were huge and updated often (PvZ 2 for example). I swear the phone only updates when I'm using it though. App updates and downloads do slow down the phone a lot, but that's in addition to the overall lag. It's really jarring, especially as it was blazing fast when I got it. BeastOfExmoor posted:If the phone previously was fast and suddenly started being slow the chances are that it is a software problem rather than a hardware one. I had this issue with my Moto G for the last few months where battery life sucked and everything was super laggy. I finally uninstalled a few apps I never use and a couple widgets that I did and things improved immediately and dramatically. In my case I got rid of UCCW (Ultimate Custom Widgets), which I highly suspect was my issue. I also don't get launcher redraws constantly, but that may be related to updating Nova Launcher. Could be an app problem indeed, but I wouldn't know which one could cause it... I've used "Usage Timeline Free" to check, but it didn't give me any useful feedback, only that the system processes used a lot of memory  Any recommendation for a good cpu load logging app?

Tunga posted:Obviously this sucks for the people that it affected here but at the same time this is also absolutely wonderful because of all of the self-entitled whining over on G+ I've had to read about how Google can't even make Wi-Fi work properly and how Lollipop is a disaster. As far as I can tell this isn't the Wifi problem that most people have been complaining about. We were saying just after 5.0.1 this problem doesn't seem to have had much attention with hardly any activity on the bug report, and with seemingly not that many people experiencing it you can see why now. It was only even a few of us here for example. I don't remember what the main issue that got fixed by 5.0.1 was, but the TB problem wasn't it e: this is the one that got fixed, that most online were taking about : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=78702 This is our foolish problem https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81896 Skarsnik fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Dec 19, 2014 |
