Thermopyle posted:That seems silly, people are going to lose their phones 100x more often than someone targets them for theft unless you work in some amazing high stakes world of corporate espionage. If that's the case you should have a policy that completely disallows the use of smart unlock because they could just steal the phone and walk over to your place of business to unlock it. The targeted theft *IS* after your data, and is likely going from theft to getting what they want very quickly. And the line I was talking about is using only wifi. Using wifi to trigger GPS...seems laggy, but ok. The line I was responding to was: "that it isn't using wifi as the main determinate for being home when that's easily the most reliable way to tell".

Civil posted:No surprise that LG is considering staying away from the Snapdragon 810. What a disaster. They put out a phone SoC with more cores and a faster clock speed than most desktops being sold today. I know the cores are totally different in design, but jesus christ stop demanding 10ghz octo-core SoCs.

N5, 5.1 LMY47I Anybody else unable to lock it to portrait? Apparently the choices are auto or portrait. :/ I wanted to take a landscape phone while holding phone portrait (actually upside down portrait. )

baka kaba posted:What do you want to do though? What are you trying to lock into landscape? If it's photos you can rotate them afterwards - you can probably also hold the shutter button/volume to fix your shot, and rotate it while holding, but I haven't tried it e: gdi, landscape!=portrait. ilkhan fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Apr 4, 2015 |

baka kaba posted:You mean a landscape one? The photo should be orientated however you were holding the phone when you took it, portrait or landscape, and always the right way up. If you want to turn things on their side or upside down, you'll have to swipe over and hit edit and do a quick spin

Are we actually hoping for a good device from LG as the last chance of the season? Guess the folks who grabbed N6s made the right call.

Combat Pretzel posted:Regarding the Snapdragon 808, it comes with two A57 cores and four A53 ones. Is that still a big.LITTLE configuration? Because it's asymmetric. Or will Android use all six cores eventually? Or will it end up scheduling two A57 and two A53?

hotsauce posted:Does it charge or just maintain?... Hit day, direct sun, screen on while navigating and streaming audio was apparently too much for it. Anyway, it does a slight charge in that situation for me. But if I know I need battery now my airdock has a 2a charger and a microUSB plug so I can just plug in directly.

Super Dude posted:What happens when a manufacturer wants to come out with an entire new phone? It starts with 5/6/etc.? Also, what happens if Android isn't ready for an entire new release that year? Google and manufactures don't always line up. Android release names are arbitrary anyway. One per year isn't exactly hard.

In a lot of ways I really wish the GVoice app was its own ecosystem. LIke inside the app it would have everything google voice. messages, dialer, call log, voicemail, etc. Hangouts should be the same way, Lync should be the same way, etc. The number of places I have to check for SMS/MMS/messaging depending on how they come in is insane.
