robodex posted:Using an iPhone, I survived for years without a LED. When I got my Nexus 5 I found it pretty neat but considering the LED doesn't really tell you anything aside from "Yo, you have notifications," I really don't see the need for it? Like it really doesn't tell you anything useful unless the app color-codes the notification and that goes to poo poo once you have multiple apps using the same color. What you're looking for is this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow&hl=en

ThermoPhysical posted:Ok, since both the Nexus 6 and Moto X (2014) have made it officially to Amazon, I've got some questions for both devices. No noticeable burnin on my N6 after a couple months, but I keep my brightness quite low.

ThermoPhysical posted:Yeah, I understand that. My Nexus S had burn-in after a few years. However, the problem with these two devices seems to be it's happening with regular usage and very quickly (from a few days to a few weeks of receiving the new device). I do use adaptive brightness, it works fine. Direct sunlight is not very good for viewing but pretty much every phone I've owned has had issues with sunlight. Battery life is amazing for my use case which is light during the work day and pretty heavy in the evening. I can usually get through a full day with charge to spare. Battery gets nuked if I use my phone heavily at work though because the cell signal is poo poo here and no wifi. Overall it's the best phone I've ever owned.

ThermoPhysical posted:Yeah, sunlight seems to always be an issue for me too. I'm still kind of waffling between the two but mainly leaning towards the N6 mostly because no where around here seems to have one to mess around with for display. I only use Diztronic cases so I can't very well recommend another one! I should mention too that I have the ambient display thing turned off, which is supposed to slightly improve battery life (the feature where if you lift your phone off a desk/table it lights up a portion of the display in b&w to show notifications).

ThermoPhysical posted:Yeah, it doesn't look like the ambient display works very well anyway. Does the Diztronic make the phone annoying to pocket? Nope, it's a very minimal/light/thin case. Also like $9.99 so it's hard to go wrong.

ThermoPhysical posted:Oh! How's the camera? Erica's had focusing problems while taking videos. How's the picture quality? Camera hardware is great, the Google camera app sucks. If you're serious about good phone photography you can get an app like Manual Camera which supports the new Lollipop camera API, but honestly for regular point and shoot social media pictures the N6 is perfectly fine.

ThermoPhysical posted:So basically like every Nexus camera (except maybe the S?) this is decent. I like that it can use the Lollipop API. Does that use RAW stuff or what exactly is it? The Manual Camera app is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2 It can take normal JPGs, or you can tell it to capture raw DNG files too (which are loving enormous of course). It has a massive load of features and dials to screw around with, from ISO to exposure to lighting. I'm not knowledgeable with this stuff at all, but my understanding is that the raw files are intended for post-processing tasks in Photoshop and the like. I've fooled around a bit with the exposure settings when I was trying out some nighttime shots. Either way, the new camera API looks awesome and Google should get their poo poo in gear for their own app because it does not use the new API yet.

ThermoPhysical posted:I meant to bring this up a couple of pages ago. Does video on the N6 constantly lose and try to regain focus? I'm wondering if this is software or hardware based. I filmed some video at a concert I was at a few weeks ago, so some pretty difficult lighting, and it did not have trouble focusing for the most part. Only had a few issues when the stage lights were all crazy.

I have not been keeping up on 5.1 or other information so I apologize if this question is stupid in advance, but is there any chance 5.1 will allow us to disable encryption on the N6?

Well that would be cool, that should result in a large storage i/o performance bump for the N6 if true! Thanks dudes.

bull3964 posted:It's not a Read / Write thing. It's sequential vs random. Random got a big boost, sequential did not. Sequential probably won't improve until they integrate in the hardware encryption acceleration. Right now, they're just using Neon instruction sets to boost encryption performance. Yeah, missed the sequential part, haven't had my coffee yet, sorry. You're definitely correct there.

I am possibly about to ask an unbelievably stupid question that I just can't think of myself right now, but....the Quick Charge functionality in the Nexus 6, does that reside in the charger or the phone?

I'm having a weird issue with the Hangouts app that I'm wondering if I'm alone in. I have many conversations that from the main page state a last activity date of something like Feb 9, for example. Yet that's not accurate, if I go into the conversation, the last message was say March 15. Why is this main view not updating, it's very annoying because it orders conversations by date incorrectly.

I haven't seen it recently but I can't actually remember if there was a Hangouts update that fixed it or if it was fixed when I wiped for/flashed 5.1 Awesome, no that actually is helpful because I know it's not some corruption or broken thing on my end alone. I'm glad someone other than me is experiencing the exact same problem! I really hope it's a known bug.
