BraveUlysses posted:Any other good sources to pick up a Z3 Compact besides directly from sony? I bought one for myself from handtec and now they're out of stock, but I still need one for my wife. Try Swappa.com Edit: that is if you are in the US and don't mind a barely used one. Or you could apply for the Sony credit card and they will credit your statement $200 with your first $500+ purchase. That would net a new Z3c down to $329. Don't do this if you are religiously against a credit inquiry though. If you aren't buying a house/car in the near future it's worth it for some to save $200. hotsauce fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Jan 3, 2015 |

RZA Encryption posted:I REGRET ALL Once upon a time, I rooted and stripped out all the manufacturer apps from an LG G3 (system apps). As in deleted them totally (not disabled). It was smooth sailing, until I reset it to, well, sell the thing. Factory reset...results? It was totally, 100% hosed. Would not boot. Wouldn't work. I was about to give it to Goodwill until I finally found some shady LG software.exe online to re-image it. This is a photo of sausage being made.  By the grace of something, it flashed to factory defaults and a stock system image. Godspeed, sir. hotsauce fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Jan 3, 2015 |

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:Nexus 6 now, right? Did you put the Note4 in SA Mart,yet? Er, no longer. I didn't like the Nexus 6. Was just a huuuge phone with no real identity. Sold it, bought another Note 4. Yes I'm aware the Note 4 isn't tiny, but it *feels* smaller. Plus it actually has software that matches the large display. If anything, it's worth it to not need to touch cum stained hotel remote controls.

kitten smoothie posted:So if I were to buy a Nexus 6 direct from Motorola, they're going to charge me sales tax, and that $649 phone turns into $722. Amazon has the phone for $649 all-in, shipped via Prime, but it's locked to AT&T. IMO, don't buy the Nexus 6, but if you insist, do something like this: http://swappa.com/listing/LDE730/view If it doesn't work out, blast the seller with a PayPal dispute. Swappa's never screwed me though, so there's that. By the way, Motorola will honor a 3rd party sale. So you would be covered via warranty for 10 months (for this particular listing).  only though

So with the whole "carriers must legally unlock or face prison time" extravaganza, I got my ATT unlock code and did it today (Note 4). Ever since then its randomly rebooted like 8 times in the past 5 hours. WTF. Samsung'd or something more sinister? It had never, not once randomly rebooted before. SIM unlock? Reboot city. Nothing else has changed.

CLAM DOWN posted:I know you'd prefer a deal, but I feel that All Access is totally worth the sticker price. Yep. The only way I'll stop paying the grandfathered $7.99/month is if I get hit by a bus or die a natural death. It's worth it at $9.99 as well. Or you could grab a chrome cast. I think there is a few month free trial that would pay for the CC anyhow.

GWBBQ posted:OLED is still a relatively new technology and the organic compounds used degrade pretty quickly with use, reducing their ability to emit light. Burn-in is directly proportional to the amount of light emitted. While that is certainly true, Samsung, hate or not, does a fantastic job with it's OLED panels. I don't recall seeing a jacked up Samsung display yet. Even store models running demo loops. Moto Xs? All of them have burn in from store demos. Samsung has it's poo poo together with it's display tech, full stop. Even with the  750 nit sunlight readability mode of the Note 4. Sammy's like gently caress it, crank the panel up. It'll handle it.

dissss posted:Yep - the poster I quoted specifically mentioned store models so I posted one. I also specifically mentioned a Note 4 which has a newer SAMOLED. Thanks for googling the pic though! I'm willing to bet that panel is akin to the ones used in the X/Nexus 6. Its older tech so yeah. Buuuurn in. Yes its possible on 100% of OLED panels. I just havent seen it on Samsung's newest panel tech. N of 1 = a seriously anecdotal observation I'm aware. I'm sure an image of a Note 4 display model that looks worse than your IMG will show up and be paraded around the angry mob. Cool of so. I'm not digging around because I've yet to see one. Nobody uses their phone like a display model which is on 24 /7 at maximum brightness so this entire concept is pretty stupid. The only place where it's really concerning is the fact that Motorola phones that are in normal everyday real use are getting burn in very fast. No good. Edit: Ok, preemptive. Yes, I specified Note 4 at the end. The callout is coming, just clarifying. Didn't mean to infer zero Samsung OLED has ever shown burn in. Of course they do. Newest ones?

S6. No more Qualcomm. This is the start of Tizen, no? Or am I making a baseless assumption? (yes I know Exynos are in all sorts of Samsung products so its nothing new). I was always under the assumption that Qualcomm SoC's were best for LTE connectivity.

Re: HD Voice. It's weird. I'm in a supported market (AT&T) and talking with people who also have an HD voice capable phone sounds like the phone speaker is hollow and bassy. You can turn it off on the Note 4 so I'd assume others as well. It's funny seeing posts online all "my speaker is suddenly broken." No. Welcome to HD Voice. It's strange.

I've found that just leaving all the shitware apps turned on (disabling nothing) results in better battery life these days. Seems disabling system apps causes the OS to endlessly try to use them, burning battery. Used to have like 15 disabled apps on my Note 4. After LP yesterday, I just turned them all on. Smooth sailing.

Skeezy posted:Got my preorder in this morning for the S6 and also went ahead and bought a Tylt Vu. I'm so ready for wireless charging and all that. Qi is nice while you sleep, but QC 2.0 will change your life. I've stopped fiddling with Qi in the car. Just plug in QC and it aggressively pumps current into your battery. You can run everything at full throttle and it charges away. No so with Qi. It's nice at night or in the office, but otherwise QC is far superior.
