Should I not expect Moto Voice to read my text messages if I have Hangouts as the default text messaging app?

My wife's Nexus 5 continues to be crap with Lollipop even after a factor reset. Apps will automatically close, including the camera in the middle of trying to take pictures. I'm tempted to just stop waiting on Google to unfuck their own phone and get something else. The LG G2 is pretty cheap on EBay, I imagine that should be a sufficient reps replacement? The battery life looks like it would be much better and the build quality of the Nexus 5 never wowed me. I'm tempted to pay more for the refurbed M8 for $300 but performance isn't a huge need. The G2 doesn't have lollipop yet but I don't see that as a problem anymore.

SwissCM posted:Same deal with my mums Nexus 5. If its been on long enough, programs just randomly close due to that memory leak. Yeah the camera app will sometimes just close when she's trying to take a picture of one of our kids. Or Candy Crush and she loses a life. Can't tell which one makes her more mad. I've mentioned daily reboots and app monitoring but micromanaging her phone like it was a computer running DOS is beyond ridiculous in 2015. If I wanted a phone that works only 90% of the time I'd just get an OPO

Lollipop is great on my Moto X. My Nexus 7 2013 seems okay too but I got after the initial release people complained about. Seems okay on my wife's 2012 N7 too. But the N5 was unusable up until 5.01 update and now it's reminding me of some poo poo bargain level 2011 era phone

My Moto X keeps turning the volume/ringer back up on my phone even though I want it silenced when I'm not at home. I'm assuming its because Moto Assist turns it back on when I am home and doesn't turn it back down when I am somewhere else. Is there a way to change or configure this?

codo27 posted:Any battery pack I've ever seen is much, much thicker and heavier than my phones battery. Not to mention, then you still have to have the drat thing with a cord hanging out of your pocket if you're on the move. Don't even notice the spare in my pocket, throw the other in the wall charger and not have it affect my phone usage whatsoever. I've got one of those lipstick sized batteries with a 6" cord. Fits in my pocket just fine...but I'm a cargo short wearing goon so there's that

OP can't act like Samsung or Apple. Their only saving grace was the enthusiast community who tolerated their poo poo because they were cheap, filled spec boxes, and used a garbage third party ROM that they loved.

Athenry posted:Nexus 5 has a 1080p screen vs. the 720p in the G. G has a bigger battery and newer SoC and is water resistant. Any reviews have battery life tests yet? My wife is hating her nexus 5. Soc performance isn't something she'd notice but better battery life, camera, storage via SD card, and build quality (her power button sometimes gets jammed) would be.

There is always a big flaw with Nexus devices. Given those rumored specs I'm going with either made from dried play dough or will be OOS for 6 months with random and short lived back in stock flashes

No band 12 is a huge disappointment to me as that was one of the reasons why I wanted to replace my wife's Nexus 5 (battery and SD card the other) It's still a nice phone but there are now B12 towers up near me and there definitely are dead spots around Sacramento

ilkhan posted:Are you saying there are dead spots without B12 that get filled in when you have it? Coverage around Sac has been pretty good in my experience. Where in particular around Sac are you thinking? One example I hit most of the time is driving down 50 there is a spot where I get literally zero coverage around Watt/Power Inn. Both my wife's Nexus 5 and my Moto X. And then just the expected indoor spottiness, especially when I'm inside buildings downtown You're right, T-Mobile coverage for the most part is good in the Sacramento area but I'd rather not buy a new phone that doesn't have it. Unfortunately the pickings for midrange phones with band 12 are slim to non-existant WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Aug 4, 2015 |

RVProfootballer posted:I'd say opposite, for what it's worth. I've been pretty impressed with the Moto X 2014 battery given all the gnashing of teeth about it, and this is coming from a LG G2 with great battery. I fully admit to not using it as much as some of you might, though; ~4 hours of SoT in a day is plenty for me and the X gets that easily for me. Better than I got from a Nexus 5, fwiw. The camera is also not as bad as I was expecting, though definitely a bit worse than the G2's. I don't have any confidence the new Moto G will have updates for longer than the flagship released just one year earlier, too. Finally, black understated phones look nice, who needs gaudy customization Battery life on the X is pretty lackluster for me. I get through a typical day OK but if I'm out for an extended period of time or have to use it more than normal then I better bring along an external battery. An one of the reasons I want to replace my wife's N5 is that 16GB isn't enough for her unless I clean her photos off regularly.

LastInLine posted:Yes, it is. It's literally all drawback and no advantage but idiots love SD cards so now you get much slower, much less reliable storage that you'll have to pay for separately and now your removable storage is no longer removable. So much better than it was when things worked. I have no problem with phones that don't have it, or paying more for the option to have enough memory. But if the phone in looking at has SD card support boy howdy am I going to take advantage of it

Lblitzer posted:So to continue the silly trainwreck that is OnePlus, the OP2 is delayed 2 to 3 weeks for US and EU. They've also received over 2 million reservations so... good luck getting a phone new from them anytime in the next year. Are those are just "I'm interested in the phone here is my email" numbers? Because if so, it is a ton of people who either 1) Were mildly interested in the phone and just put their name down in case since it's impossible without an invite 2) Plan on selling the invite for  3) Plan on selling the phone for a mark-up on Ebay or Swappa As far as I can tell #2 and #3 are where a good number of the invites went for the 1+1

Don't know how Google's practices compare to Apple or MS, but my impression is that the developers care more about adding new cool features than fixing boring bugs. This isn't just an impatient customer speaking, there is a Google tech talk with a testing infrastructure guy who said he had to put up a public wall of shame to get developers to fix "medium" and "low" priority bugs otherwise they'd sit there forever

I replaced my old Galaxy S3 which my daughter uses for games with a 2nd gen Moto E. Holy crap is that a nice phone for $40, battery life on that is great. Only complaint is that it (and the Moto G which just arrived) comes with some garbage half amp charger with a cord that doesn't come off.

bull3964 posted:I think, for the most part, most modern phones and chargers don't really care about specific cables. Yeah, I used to splice open my cables to snip the data pins but now I don't even bother. Haven't had any slow charging using any of the 1-2A chargers I've got littered around. Just get cables of appropriate gauge if you are that worried and maybe a decent Anker charger that handles both Apple and everybody else style charging WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Aug 25, 2015 |
