Maker Of Shoes posted:My N5 is about 2 steps from completely unusable on 5.0.1. So bad that I've been trolling CL and the likes to swoop in on an N6 deal. I'm experience all the same stuff on my 5.0.1 N5. Most annoying is Google Play Music crapping out on me all the time, and the constant Google Now launcher constantly redrawing. I hope 5.03 or 5.1 come out soon, or I might need to start running custom ROMs again.

Maker Of Shoes posted:You can block system notifications? Well I'll be damned. I remember trying this in the past and it didn't work. I't would be nice to see proof that it will work before rolling back. I feel the exact same way as Maker Of Shoes does. Same memory leaks and app crashing, etc.. I'm about to flash a Custom ROM to avoid this all. But I really enjoy the stock experience...if it was working as I expected it to. I am also off contract, so I could technically go back on contract and get a shiny new phone....But I love my N5 still, if it wasn't for these current issues.

So, up in Canada, the Moto X Pure isn't an option, but the Moto X Play is. And it seems a bit scaled down compared to the Pure: 5.5" instead of 5.7" SD 615 instead of the SD 808 2 GB RAM instead of 3 GB RAM (not as thrilled about this) 3630 mAh battery instead of 3000 mAh (this I like) No Smartboost speakers, but front facing at least. I had my eye on the Pure, but since it's not available, would the Play be just as good?

Rastor posted:These two posts got missed, I think. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm so glad I posted here first. I do remember reading about that chipset, so thank you for the reminder. As I currently have a Nexus 5, I guess I'll hope and pray that the Pure gets released up here eventually. I could obviously wait and see about a new Nexus, but I really want to play with the Moto features while still getting a "near stock" experience.

Maker Of Shoes posted:I fully admit to skipping 73 pages of "ordered and shipping on saturtuesday of junetober" but is there any indication they'll OTA devices that are already on the M preview? If I have to lose my Fallout Shelter progress because it doesn't have cloud saving and Helium works when it loving wants to I will cry big fat crocodile tears. I believe someone already posted that if you ahve the M Preview, you will need to flash the stable build and it will not be OTA'd.

After flashing Android 6.0 to my Nexus 5, I noticed something in Hangouts. Previously I had all of my Hangouts and SMS conversations in one view. Now, SMS and Hangouts conversations have separate views and I have to keep toggling back and forth. I even have the "Enable merged conversations" checked off. Any ideas? Or is this expected? Edit: NM, I found the issue, Under my SMS settings I had SMS as my default messaging account. Changing it to my Google account fixed this and properly merged conversations.

Red Warrior posted:Android Police have put up their initial impressions of the 5X and 6P also: I have a Nexus 5 now and kind of want a new phone. Is only 2MB in the 5X anything to be concerned about? None of the reviews seem to even comment about it, but it's the main point that has kept me from pre-ordering.

repiv posted:Is it a problem for you now? The N5 has the same amount of RAM, same screen resolution and same Android version, so multitasking performance should be more or less identical on the N5X. The N5 on Android 6.0 seems better, but prior to flashing, I was getting constant home screen redrawing and occasional app slowness. Right now, it seems pretty snappy. Overall I'm really happy with the N5, so I am actual content with it. Just the geek in me wants to try something newer and better. I guess I could shell out the extra cash for the 6P, as size doesn't matter to me. Honestly, I really really wanted the Pure, but it's not available in Canada. SO now I'm trying to figure out if I should get something else, or just stick the my N5.

5436 posted:Did the Beta (Android O) for my Nexus 6p. It made the phone unusable. It become unbearably slow. I then dropped my phone in a bunch of water and it became literally unusable. Ordered a used Pixel XL 128GB....is getting the daydream vr (used) worth it? I've been in the beta for some time as well. I've begun to really dislike my 6P. Super slow, and I guess it's related to the beta. RAM being the biggest issue on top of the slowness. Apps getting kicked out of RAM and redrawing, or releaunching is super annnoying, especially when it was great before. I'm gonna flash back and opt out of the beta (if that's even possible). But what I don't want to do is flash custom. I've remained unrooted for this long, and I'd rather not go down that route. Or I just deal with it until Xmas, when my contract is up and I get something different. I;ve been a Nexus user for years, I'm thinking about going down the OEM route next time. I used to be heavy into rooting and custom ROMS, but I've since lost interest. Now I just want a fast usable phone, with a somewhat decent UI. Has Samsung improved on their lovely lime green and blue UI?

CLAM DOWN posted:6GB/month is absurdly high in Canada haha, that would cost $100+ here unless you're lucky enough to be on a grandfathered plan. I'm with Rogers in Manitoba, mine is closer to $70 with a 6 GB plan, and I actually pay less than $55 after taxes and corporate 30% discount through work.

So, my Nexus 6P, which was subsidized through my carrier (Rogers) is going through that horrible battery issue, powering off at like 60% battery and poo poo like that. Not to mention it just feels slow as hell (compared to when it was new). My contract is up on Boxing day, but I'm not sure how much longer I can wait. Money is a bit of an issue, so I would definitely want to subsidize again. It would cost just under $50 to get out of the contract now, as opposed to waiting. I guess my question is.....I'm debating if I should wait until Black Friday deals next month or Boxing day deals to see what deals are available (looking at Pixel 2 (XL), LG V30, or the S8 (+)), or just go and get the 0$ down OG Pixel XL right now and pay the $50 to get out of my contract. The OG Pixel XL will last me another 2 years without much issues right? I'm so used to getting a "this year" phone when getting a new phone that my insides are screaming to just wait it out another month or 2. But dealing with this lovely battery problem and carrying a battery pack with me wherever I go is getting old real fast.

EdEddnEddy posted:You could also check with Google Support, see if they will do anything for you since it is a super common issue. Tried the Google support already, along with many others, they were not able to provide additional support unless it was purchased through the Play Store (where they were RMA'ing with brand new Pixel XLs). I have done hard resets before updating to Oreo, but haven't since...I'll do that again. Don't think Ill spend any money on replacing the battery though....this thing doesn't deserve more of my money.

EdEddnEddy posted:I know it might sound like voodoo but one thing I tried with my 6P that had that issue, was flash the original 6.0.0 OS image directly from Google to the device using ADB and the easy batch file FlashAll.bat that's in the package, load it up and run the battery from full to empty. Then recharge and flash the latest OS image. Definitely worth a try. Flashing 6.0.0 now.

BJPaskoff posted:I didn't realize how bad my Nexus 6P battery was until it started shutting off at 15%. On October 7th, I called Google and asked them if they could do anything about it, not even bringing up the Pixel replacement until she'd already started the replacement process. I said something like "So I heard you're replacing these with Pixels sometimes?" and she told me to check my email, because sometimes it's another Nexus and sometimes it's a Pixel. Turned out, I was getting a Pixel. It's a massive improvement in battery life, speed, and display. Did you buy your 6P from Google, or subsidize through a carrier?

CLAM DOWN posted:Lol get over yourself, I'm not American and probably have a shittier data plan than you, and I don't even have wifi at work. 64GB is MORE than enough for pinned music. Or, suck it the gently caress up and get the 128GB version if you're somehow a snowflake beyond that. Also not American and 32 GB has been the most storage I've ever had on a phone and has been more than enough. I also store at least 10 GB of music on my phone.

Zero VGS posted:Does 6P even have 8 yet? I got 8 on my N6P. But maybe it was because I was opted into the beta? Having said that, after recent battery problems I unlocked my bootloader for the first time, manually flashed back to 6.0.0 via ADB, then manually flashed 8 via ADB. Battery problems still exist, but the 8 image was up for download.

It's a solid case. And that Herringbone design for the TPU is really sleek looking and feels good in the hand.

clamiam45 posted:I like the fingerprint placement on the Galaxy S8+ more, but it's not a huge difference. Coming from a N6P to a S8+, I definitely prefer the finger print scanner in the back center, but it's not nearly as bad as I thought it might be where it is. I just wish is was a bit more circular.

Anyone else with an S8+ get the One UI Android 9 update and full screen apps is broken for like everything? The UI itself seems cleaner, but losing full screen is annoying, since I'm so used to swiping up my Navigation bar to hit home and back, etc... I also had a Theme, that doesn't work with night mode either. Hopefully it gets fixed eventually. Though night mode looks better than the dark theme I was using, but miss the icons from that theme.

zer0spunk posted:Try going into multi task view and tapping the app icon then hitting change aspect ratio. That's how it works in the same ui on an s10 so I'm guessing it's on the older phones too No aspect ratio option. I get - App info - Open in split screen view - Open in pop up view - Lock app Edit: Got it to work, but not the way I wanted. I can use gestures in full screen now, but the auto hide feature is gone now, it's just gesture once, instead of gesture to bring the navigation bar up, then hitting back or home or multi task view. Now it's just a single gesture for any of those. Will take some getting used to, but at least full screen is working. Boywunda fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Apr 1, 2019 |

zer0spunk posted:See if this samsung app does anything for you, you might be able to map out the nav bar gesture to behave like you're used to. It's also kinda nice to have a swipe left to go back gesture when you're not near the back arrow in an app. The only thing I'm missing is the swipe up to bring the navigation bar up, then I could hit back repeatedly to go back. I love full screen mode, and have for nearly 2 years. Now I can single swipe up to go back, but can't keep tapping it, I have to keep swiping up to go back multiple times. Or lose the full screen mode. I'll adjust eventually, as I want full screen mode more than I want the ability to hit back multiple times. Everything else about the One UI so far, I like. It's cleaner and the night mode is exactly what I'd want, without having to install a theme.
