So, is Qualcomm's 808 that much of an improvement over the 805? The biggest differences seems to be the modem and 64-bit vs. 32-bit architecture. Because aside from the N5X's sensor (I don't care), the Nexus 6 is stupid And the N5X doesn't even have Gorilla Glass 4. Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Sep 29, 2015 |

How truthful is the battery drain statistics? Because I swear that since Lollipop, Chrome has just been this horrific piece of poo poo battery drainer, even if it never showed it in the stats. Force closing it and using Opera instead has (so far) solved any issue I've had with mysterious battery drains on my N5.

Scaramouche posted:Weird, have had nothing but good battery life off my Nexus 6p, but something happened today to drive it crazy. The battery is draining faster than usb slow charge can charge it. The only thing I was running was Awful App, Chrome, and Gmail. Have rebooted it to hopefully fix whatever death cycle was going on there, anyone else run into something similar? I find that Force Closing the Chrome and Camera apps solves all battery drain problems not caused by a gaming app. Had to do it to the FB messenger app once too.

LastInLine posted:Zorilla pretty much explained it perfectly but I guess I'd add that the relationship just feels perfectly one-to-one with a Mac trackpad. Combined with macOS's heavy usage of gestures (three and four finger swipes, spreads, pinches) and it's just this perfect, seamless interface that you don't have to ever consider. Apple's trackpad is so good, I stopped using a mouse with my Mini. Best couch peripheral ever made. The 64gb 6P and ZTE Axon 7 are nearly the same price right now at USD $400-425. Wouldn't mind an SD820 and 4gb ram, but Nexii have regular Google updates... Any rumors on the prices of the Nexuses S&M yet?

Facebook's horrible app has been experimentally demonstrated to massively eat background power. Dude, just turn off notifications for every single post and update. Check the FB app manually.

Thermopyle posted:You say you listen to stuff all day like that helps your case...it doesn't. Think about how percentages work. If you add a major battery drain will the percentage of battery drained by other apps go up or down?  Are you serious; it's the percentage of the battery total, not a percentage of what you've used.I used 4% of the battery, (including Android OS/Services) not 4% of the battery that I used (which would've been 2% of the battery's total the day I posted).

That'll be what- ~$850 for a 128 XL? Might as well get a 128gb 7 Plus/Pinto 7 for that. At least then it'll have water resistance, Gorilla Glass 5, flash storage that isn't ice age slow, and a not-poo poo camera.

Mental Hospitality posted:Unfortunately, it seems the headphone jack is defective. This is my 4th Motorola phone but apparently Lenovo fired the engineers responsible for correctly implementing a working 3.5mm jack. I only have audio in the right channel. I made sure to check that my headphones were seated completely (they snap in with a noticeable click) and have tried rebooting the phone (in safe mode as well). So far, no luck. Have you tried a new pair of headphones to be sure? Headphone plugs wear out with repeated insertion and removal cycles, even if they otherwise look fine. Speaking as someone who's job allows them to wear all day, every day; it's the single biggest reason I went to Bluetooth, and I genuinely (no bullshit) hope everyone follows Apple in getting rid of it.

Mental Hospitality posted:The headphones work fine in my laptops and my old phone. They're Sony XB90 IEMs and I've only had them for a year. I'm hesitant to going to Bluetooth because a can cram these in my pocket at a whim, never have to worry about recharging them, and I enjoy how bass heavy they are (16mm drivers). Fair enough. The Bluetooth ones I use have 12 hour battery life (about 3 hours for a thirty minute charge), but only 8mm drivers.

bull3964 posted:I'm hoping that just having two storage options (32gb and 128gb) and having the same specs just with different sizes (barring resolution and battery which is due to the size) means that the price delta between phones will be very small. AP speculation is an alternating price scheme. Pixel 32 - $649 Pixel 128 - $749 Pixel XL 32 - $699 Pixel XL 128 - $799 Give or take another twenty-to-thirty bucks. No GPU upgrade, no Gorilla Glass 5, no sub-f/2.0 camera, no dual front speakers, no dual lens, and no IP68? For premium prices? Fuuuck that.

Dust resistance is actually relevant to my job, and honestly; if Apple, Sony, and Samsung can do it, among others- what's stopping Google? Why should I pay $300 more than an OP3/Axon 7 and not get it? As for why 128gb is needed, it's simple; most of the music I like simply isn't available via streaming, and HD video recording eats up memory lickety-split.

Mr. Powers posted:I have a shockproof waterproof camera that is comparable in size to other cameras in its class. I know it's not totally valid to compare, but given that an iPhone has flattened by 5 mm in its life, I think a lot of people would give that back to get a phone that will survive a good drop. No, they won't, because they can afford Apple Care. The only extra weight they want in their phone is more battery. That's all that the vast majority of phone owners want. Nobody wants a half-pound piece of poo poo in their pants where the added weight will never, ever, ever matter for 99.999% of the lifetime of the phone. Battery life on the other hand, is something that is actually relevant 100% of the time a phone exists. Buy an Otterbox and suck it up. That being said, I actually spotted a guy with a CAT(erpiller) S50 at The Beer Store™ last month.
