FistEnergy posted:Really, reeeeeeally glad I bought a Sony Z3 instead of waiting for the upcoming phones. It's nearly perfect and is easily better than any HTC/Motorola/Samsung I've owned. Not having the Z3/Z3C on your list of top phones immediately invalidates said list. It's almost as if RZA Encryption hypoberlizes so much that his posts are entirely meaningless as a rule, or something to that effect.

b0nes posted:Anyone here happy with their Verizon S5? Cause mines a massive piece of poo poo. It lags a lot, my Nexus 5 never lagged a bit. Then theres all the lovely verizon apps you can't get rid of. Touchwiz is a mess. I thought I could get used to it but I can't. That dialer is crap, and all the replacements i've tried are crap. Then there is the issue with the dialer not sending out dtmf tones.I will dial my voicemail and the buttons won't work. Well the work the first 10 seconds but if you need to press buttons to transfer to an extension the won't work. I've tried a few dialers and they are acting the same. I'm guessing my battery only lasting 4 hours on T-Mobile is because the native chipset is optomised for Verizon towers? Get a Z3/Z3C, and throw the s5 into traffic.

Toshimo posted:Can't find a more appropriate thread. I broke the last MicroUSB charger I have at work and need to buy 1 or more new ones. I've got a 2nd Gen Moto X and trying to get a straight answer out of Motorola about which chargers other than this official one are going to be viable has not worked well (just getting the maximum input amperage number has failed miserably). I assume I actually want ones with this Quick Charge 2.0 stuff in it. Can anyone recommend somewhere to get reliable applicable chargers that aren't $35/each. This is probably your best bet.

rndmnmbr posted:Didn't see a better thread to ask this in. Android really likes to kick poo poo out of memory. The less memory you have, the worse it gets. Uninstalling everything else with a running process that eats ram would mitigate the problem, but still wouldn't completely eliminate it, and is a bit of a drastic solution. When you get root, try installing an xposed addition called App Settings, and click the box that says "keep resident" for your media player app. Down side to doing that is, if the system runs out of RAM, it'll just crash and reboot. So, your options suck. Get a new phone, or get the best dedicated media player you can afford. A Sansa Clip will run you about $40 on Ebay. You can also see what Swappa has in the way of super cheap phones.

Tunga posted:One of the problems is that Android apps were historically allowed to poo poo their settings/data all over the SD card if they wanted to. It's hard to back that up and attribute it to the correct apps, especially if it is intentionally shared data or large media files. You said it yourself though, that's a historical issue. Apps are no longer allowed to poo poo random garbage out all over your sd card as of KitKat. Apple has had the full backup functionality for as long as I can remember, so Google's leaving it out is completely inexcusable at this point.

What I'm wondering is it was at 50% when I took the picture early and it just shutoff saying it was at 0% when I plugged it in to charge. Manufacturer's warranty should last a year, and HTC has the 'oops' thing on top of that.

TraderStav posted:Looks like Sony backpeddled and are relaunching the Z4 as the Z3+. With the only changes being a flapless usb port, slimmer profile, and internal upgrades, I can see why they did it that way. The Z2 was more of a Z1+, after all. It makes no sense why it's still called the Z4 in Japan though. I'm a bit disappointed that there was no mention of a Z4C, but not surprised. Edit:Z3C+,even.

NonzeroCircle posted:Walkman (now called 'Music') is great though and the camera is pretty ace. I also love my Z3C, but I have to disagree on this part. I kind of froze Walkman out of hand, given that I was already very happy with my 3rd party music app. The camera, though, is inexcusable. Given how many other devices use an identical sensor, the performance should be identical to them, or at least comparable. I'd rather have Sony allow 3rd party apps full control of the camera post-processing, that way I could freeze the default camera app, and lock the camera shortcut to Camera FV-5. Of course, this will never happen, because being different from other OEM's is the most important thing ever, even if it comes at the cost of the user experience.

thebushcommander posted:Anyone know why Google Services would be draining so much battery life with all location settings turned off in my settings? My battery usually will last upwards of 16hrs before I need to connect a charger 24hrs if I don't have bluetooth enabled/paired with my watch, but today it's been off charger for about 6 hours and I am down to 29% already and Google Services is the top item with 5hr30min of keep awake time. Google services is a catch-all. Assuming you're not rooted, the only way to tell what app is pinging Google Services so much is to remove recently installed/updated apps until you identify the offending app by process of elimination.

hotsauce posted:Cool. Fees then. They are outrageous. Whatever the case, I've stopped selling on eBay because idiot buyers have ruined me. YMMV. The seller of my Z3C flat out lied about the waterproof flap staying secure. I figured he was lying when I bought it, and bought with the intention of opening a dispute for the cost of fixing it if the pressure sensor didn't read sealed. The reason that I believe that buying on Swappa is better than Ebay is that their listing policy requires more specificity. This allows me to be the most pedantic douche on earth if the item isn't 100% as described. While I can still be a dick on Ebay, sellers have more wiggle room on there, which could conceivably mean that the chances of winning possible disputes isn't as good there.

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:EBay is better for buying because with Swappa you only actually are using PayPal's purchase protection. Swappa does not actually have any hand in conflict resolution. With eBay, if you pay with PayPal you get both eBay's buyer protection and PayPal's anyways. By that metric alone its better. Price on eBay vs Swappa is about the same. What does Ebay policy protect you from that PayPal policy doesn't?

RZA Encryption posted:This is a great post and I really wish Google would tell OEMs to gently caress off and make Android a Google only affair. I took that post to be neutral towards OEM's and opposed to carrier intervention. How did you not? Regardless, do you think any bad repercussions would occur from that? I don't know, like maybe the platform as a whole going the way of the BlackBerry? What would stop Samsung from bringing Tizen to the states? What could outweigh that? RZA Encryption posted:You know all those things apple does better? Google could start doing them that way, too. I know just what you mean. Apple's hardware adoption rate dwarfs Androids, always has, and for the foreseeable future, always will. Eliminating the OEM's and pursuing a walled garden approach to everything would surely make Google competitive, it should just do that!

TraderStav posted:Anyone here replace the back on the Sony Z3 Compact (or Z3 proper)? My suddenly got a crack and am looking to swap it out. I'm concerned about losing waterproofing (and worse, not knowing that I did) while doing so. There is one on Amazon but only one 5 star review so not sure what the quality of the replacement is like. Can't help as far as replacement parts go, but you can check to see if it's still pressurized yourself, assuming you have the back replaced. Dial *#*#SERVICE#*#*, then go to service tests, then the pressure test. If the number goes up when you pinch the back and screen, you're golden.
