The Android thread. Questions, comments, help, etc

Idk… I’ve played a lot wth my mom’s iphone 6 when she first got it because I had to help set things up for her. There’s nothing on iOS I would want over Android.

The homescreen is what annoyed me the most when I used it. What is the point of a nice wallpaper if all the icons over it. Oh and the way you transfer files… yeah, screw that.

question.

G4. Youtube app is not saving searches. Instead its only bringing up the same searches everytime that were done on this PC, and only specific searches from 1 night. Getting really irritating. EVerything I see is people trying to ERASE the searches. Having my search history is the easiest way to find tracks I want to listen to when I drive. Otherwise the choices are watch history or typing while driving

Why’d you move to the dark side bro

Battery not lasting for shit these days. Died at 60%. Had to battery pull and it was on 42. I used Clean Master to free ram but it didn’t help too much.

i dont like what samsung is doing to the note series. they had a good thing with the galaxy s coming out early in the year then the note getting minor spec bumps coming out towards the end of the year as the true flagship. this year they kept the same processor and camera from the s6 in the note 5 and then made a s6 plus which was just unnecessary. none of the other android phones interested me this year since snapdragon 810 issues fucked all the non samsung flagships and for whatever reason no one besides lg and samsung will put optical image stabilization in their camera which is the most important feature to me. if the moto pure had ois i would have gone with that :confused:

so i voted with my wallet and went iphone because i knew the camera would be good and also because i wanted to see what all the hype was about.

What device are you using? From personal experience those cleaning apps do NOTHING for Android. Google this if you don’t believe me, but Android apps that aren’t running don’t use any RAM. They’re only active when YOU select them.

Note 4. I never use those apps, thought they were bullshit. I usually use Clean Master just to clean up unnecessary junk files on my phone.

Pro Tip: delete that shit from your device, it does nothing but eat your RAM and battery

After a week with the new iPhone 6s Plus, I decided to go back to Android, lol. The only thing I liked about the 6s Plus is 3D Touch/Force Touch. The rest of the phone and its features were…meh.

My Nexus 6p is on its way.

I am torn a bit. 6P looks great but the og nexus 6 is way cheaper plus I wouldn’t have to get adapters for most of my cords along with new cords.

Finally upgraded to my 2nd ever smartphone.

First phone was a ZTE Valet:
Jellybean
1.0Ghz Single-core Cpu
3.5" screen
512MB ram
1 camera

New phone is an LG Ultimate 2:
Kitkat
1.2Ghz Dual-Core Cpu
4.5" Screen
1GB Ram
(2) Cameras

Pretty big upgrade. At first i didn’t like Kitkat and really wanted Jellybean back but, as i messed around with it more, i see it is pretty darn nice.

The only thing I hate about Lollipop is how Chrome “organizes” your browser windows. Throwing it in the open tasks list in no discernible order is no bueno.

Yeah that is annoying, but you can switch it back to the way it use to be in the settings.

I saw that and first thing I did was look up if you can switch it back, haha.

I dont think you can just jailbreak an iphone 6. I heard iphone 4 (or was it 5?) was impossible to jailbreak even India or the Philippines could do it.

Nexus 6P on Deck!

Initial impressions - Coming from my G4 (a decent phone with an excellent camera), I would have to say that I am impressed. The phone is constructed really well and that aluminum frame makes the phone feel solid and dissipates heat rather well. Haven’t really got the chance to use any of the 6.0 features yet. I can tell that the lack of OIS in the camera is going to be one of its flaws. Once I spend some time with it, I will report back. If anyone has any questions about the device, let me know as well.

By the way, I have Verizon, and was able to simply put in a new SIM and got on with no issues. This phone does use a nano sim, so I did have to cut it down from the micro SIM form factor.

Not sure if it can be solved…but SOMEHOW during a meeting my fucking phone formatted itself and etc so I lost all my apps contacts and etc. I managed to get more or less most of my contacts back since they were synced with my google shit, but for any numbers that weren’t synced is there any possible way to recover them? I gotta get a new phone today because there’s other issues with this one. But I’m missing a few numbers that I need and those were the only ways I had to reach those people

awee yeee time for random cvs2 theme…ok I was bored :looney:

You using that windows launcher thing from way back when?

Been awhile since I used it, seems like there have been a lot of nice updates. I’ll have to play around with it again. Nice theme man.

yeah launcher8 but obviously the newer updated version. its very light weight and smooth. easy to make themes and has all options I need. 0 complain lol…

I checked out few other custom launchers but all looked like major headache when it comes to making your own theme.

Wasn’t there a way to turn off the rubberband effect when you scroll up/down to the end? Can’t seem to find it.
