I commute by train and it's always telling me I'm parked at the World Train Center. I like to imagine I'm in the Simpson's episode where that happens to Homer's car.

Is that the episode where he drives off with the boot on his car?

I'm waiting for the LG G4 announcement on the 28th, then decide between that and the S6...or ride out with my N4 until the fall releases.

LG G4

Snapdragon 808
3gb ram
32gb + microsd storage
5.5" QHD display (LG claims the new display boasts 20% wider color reproduction, 25% improvement in brightness and 50% higher contrast than the G3.)
16mp (OIS, and apparently you can do 104mp panoramas)
3,000mah battery

Not a bad device but that leather sure looks ugly.

From what I can gather, there week be NO quick-charge or wireless charging.

No way a Qualcomm chipset goes out without quick charge.

Anyway, gsmarena says both Qi and Quick Charge are in.

Here it's saying that it won't have either: http://m.androidcentral.com/lg-g4-hands-on

My Nexus 5's USB port seems to be loose and I have to make sure my cable is at a certain angle to get a charge. This is happening with the provided USB cable. Is there a way I can fix this without having to physically replace the USB module? I have no issue with doing that but I'd like to avoid it.

edit: I should clarify that it doesn't feel like any of the solder points are broken, more that it's just not snug enough or something.

I had this problem on my Nexus 4 and a new USB cable completely fixed my issue.

For those with the LG G4, how are you liking it? Saw one on display tonight at Best Buy, its tempting to move on from Nexus 4.

Also, Best Buy is giving a $100 gift card with the LG G4 and that can be combined with LG's promo for free SD card and extra battery, plus charging cradle. Hmmmmmm.

It's a good phone.

So my Nexus 4 was updated to 5.1.1 a while back and I just recently decide to toss my sim card back in and see how it functions. 5.1.1 has basically revitalized a phone that made me regret ever upgrading to 5.0 initially. Battery life is back to normal or maybe better than ever, and the thing feels just as quick as it ever did. Granted, I don't use many processor/memory intensive apps, and it doesn't really want to download gifs from the SA app, but the thing is still amazing compared to the utter piece of poo poo that it became when 5.0 came about.

Hmm. I'm still rocking the Nexus 4 on 4.4, maybe its time to finally upgrade to 5.1.

It looks like AnandTech finally has their LG G4 review up, for those interested.

And that $399 price point for the new Moto is amazing.

http://m.androidcentral.com/first-five-things-know-about-new-moto-g

The Moto G is probably the right choice for 99% of Android users, and 90% of Goons. It has good build quality with no real shortcomings, runs great/clean software, and is dirt cheap. Unless someone specifically wants a phablet, it's probably a winning choice for a small price. And I paid full price for an HTC M7 and Sony Z3. The daily experience with the Moto G is no worse than any flagship but at a third the price. It's a great time for Android as a result.

Performance wise, would I notice any difference between the new Moto G and the Nexus 4 on 4.4? My N4 is coming up on three years old at this point, and I'm due for something new.

For those with the Note 4, do you think its worth $399? Looks like I can pick up a refurbished Unlocked AT&T Note 4 on eBay for $399. Although I'll probably wait until the new Moto X is reviewed, since it's sitting at the same price point.

For those looking at the LG G4, it looks like the international version can be had NEW on eBayfor $420.

Great deal but the downside (from what I understand) is that there isn't a warranty on the international versions.
