It is loving amazing to me that here we are, how many years after the iPhone, and then the Nexus program started and it became unbelievably apparent how loving fail the carriers and the bullshit schlock they foist upon their customers is. How garbage their phones are. How they and their OEM partners pile unremovable shovelware, nickle&dime fees, spyware, and vulnerabilities in all of their products. Years and years have gone by and every singe carrier/OEM phone has become unsupported trash within minutes of purchase. And yet, in every iteration of the Android thread we have some unbelievable loving idiots advocating buying literal garbage like the Z3C or whatever Droid TurboMax verizon is shilling. These handsets have been garbage from the outset. The simple fact is there are 2 phones you are allowed to buy every year: the newest and most murdered our iPhone, or the newest and most murdered out Nexus. Everything else will turn into buggy insecure toxic waste the minute it leaves the showroom.

ijii posted:The amount of vitriol against Samsung here is a bit over the top. I went from a flip phone to a Galaxy Note 2 on Tmobile. No matter how much crap Tmobile and Samsung put on their phones or how fast they drop support, it's still 100x better than my previous flip phone. I know the majority of people at work are in the same boat. I've seen many of my fellow poor coworkers from three years ago tell me "Wow, that's a big rear end phone," while they show me their flip phone, to... showing me their newer galaxy notes or Galaxy Ss over the years. I've never heard them complain about touchwiz or lack of updates. haha yea buddy. Last year I was pounding my balls into the pavement daily with an electrified jackhammer. That was P deece, but ultimately I'm really loving stoked to simply gargle this hydrochloric acid.

Rastor posted:Samsung did actually fix the ugly OEM skin issue though, by making the phone themeable. You can make it look almost like a stock Nexus or you can make it look like horrible ugly poo poo from the worst of the XDA modding community. The notification pane isn't even close to good. Not only is it the most important part of the phone ui or whatever, but the pulldown quick links are the second most important. Here's how it is on a NExus phone: Not even close in terms of quality.

Daily Forecast posted:His point is that Android should be designed such... that you don't know how to use your phone? The OS handles all of this for you. I work in theatre so I turn down the brightness when I'm backstage or in the booth, and use the slider - does that mean I want the slider clogging up 20% of the most valuable real estate on the phone 24/7? Of course not. I don't janitor WiFi, location, BT, or any of that ever - Instead I trust on my (most up-to-date, fully patched) OS to manage that for me, and it does.

Daily Forecast posted:When I'm in bed at night and reading my phone, I turn my brightness (and thus, adaptive brightness tolerance) down. When I'm in direct sunlight, I turn it up so I can see it better. If I'm out somewhere where I keep getting bombarded with lovely "connect to wifi " notifications when I will turn it off until I'm back home. If I'm not using NFC I'll turn NFC off because obviously. Quick toggles also contain the torch function, which is... like, useful and stuff to turn on and off? And you'd want to turn airplane mode on or off? The OS will manage all those quick toggles for you, you don't need to manage them all day. This is literally what the phone OS is for. Regarding your in-bed use - it takes literally .5 seconds to tab over to the deeper menu to get to the brightness slider. You're trading in like 20% of the notification pane for a slider that you use once per day, and is "buried" under a single tap. That's not a good trade. Not a single word of my post was ironic or "shitposting." Sundar and the Android team have a vision for how their OS is to be used, and they literally know better than you about it. If you use the device as intended you will be cared for and your experience will be improved. Stop trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and find happiness in your life.

Daily Forecast posted:The phone magically knows when I want the flashlight or airplane mode on or off? Cool beans. How is it, living in the year 2050 with sentient AI on your telephone? I don't turn airplane mode on unless I'm on an airplane. Which isn't every day. quote:Two finger scroll down > gear icon > scroll to display > brightness level > keep doing this if I decide "eh, could be a little brighter/darker" up to five times or so On a Nexus phone, the pane with the toggles is just a farther pull, or double-pull down on the shade. No clicking gears or whatever you need to do on whatever broken OEM skin you're accustomed to. quote:Oh gosh you're right how convenient that is! Except no, that's terrible, and I will gladly give up a tiny bit of screen real estate for the convenience of "two fingers, there it is". It's almost like people are different and like their phones to do different things but nah this is the Android thread and that's crazy. I don't really understand what you're saying here. I have an Android phone because it's the best mobile operating system and I use all their web apps at home and at work. quote:"Tap icon to turn off GPS when I don't need it" is not "micromanaging every single sub system". it is.

You don't need to menu dive to get to the brightness slider. It's on a second pull down. The quick toggles are also there. I have no idea what you're getting at when you insinuate that it's an inconvenience to get to them. Certainly not buried so deep that it's preferable to clog up the main pane with "quick toggles" that are marginally (seriously marginally) "quicker" than just pulling it down twice.

You're confused. I'm saying that notification panes that have this horse poo poo on them: is bad. It's useless, points users towards bad behavior, and is ugly. There is no case for when what I posted above is better than bog-standard stock Android. The OEM adding this software makes the phone worse.

You're confused again. There are 2 matters you're confused about : 1) Those toggles are behind a single swipe. Not "buried" or behind a "gear" or anything. A single swipe. 2) You should rarely be interacting with these in the first place. The OS will turn them on and off as needed without your intervention, and the phone will work better as a result.

Daily Forecast posted:^ and my point is that that's what you'd have to do to change screen brightness if you had no quick toggles at all. Users obsessively janitoring stuff like WiFi and Location Settings results in them having a worse experience, which as an Android evangelist is bad to me. The OS silently uses all this stuff in concert to provide a best-in-class experience.

Nexus: Limited in software and hardware so that they work well with eachother. The Software is literally designed for this hardware, so there is some lack in diversity. CLAM DOWN posted:counterpoint: the S7 rules, mate It's garbage with bad software that will be abandoned by an OEM that doesn't give a single poo poo about its users. Daily Forecast posted:Nexus devices have all sorts of hardware issues and compromises (no SD slot, battery is difficult to replace, 5X is a laggy piece of poo poo, 6P is too big) even though the software is good, and Samsung phones are the other way around. It's just a matter of priorities, and, again, who gives a poo poo This laundry list of insanely IYG poo poo is meaningless if you use Android as intended with a quality handset. The SD slot is meaningless with Play Music and Photos spinning all your stuff to and from the cloud. The battery on a quality handset lasts years until the phone needs to be retired naturally. (e.g. my Nexus 4 battery lasted all day with normal use from when I bought it when it was released, until I retired it for a Nexus 6P years later). Regarding "who gives a poo poo": It's OK to give a poo poo about a device you use every day, many times a day. It's a nontrivial part of your life and some care and consideration are not out of order. Regarding your tangent: Security is a top priority on any smartphone. It has all your accounts, personal data, and private details. Security and software vulnerabilities are not "shruggable"

TollTheHounds posted:No one claimed the 5X was the best on the market, but everyone claims universally that "Nexus is the best". Look at all of the recent posts about "Nexus" - occasionally someone specifies "Nexus 6P" but it's always - "Nexus phones this" "Nexus line that", always in the context of "the nexus line being the best bet for a pure android experience/long term support". Right now, I can sum up my first "pure android experience" on my "Nexus line hardware" in one word: unstable. The fact that I can have a supported unstable device ( potentially ) for the next 18 months is really not much of a "bonus". The Nexus line of phones is epic, mostly flawless, and best-in-class. Look pal, if you're going to be bodyslamming your phone or suplexing it, or installing dangerous hacker software on your innocent phone then you accept all responsibility. Don't come crying to us when your perfect phone starts to buckle and break under the weight of your brutality.
