damnit, i want that n6

wonder how much i'd have to pay to get to 50% of my phone and JUMP to that beast

If I wait to pay off 50% normally, I can't JUMP until May I think.

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

N6 is going to be $649 retail on TMo. That's a little high for a Nexus but it's a beast so it makes sense.

[chevyrado14]

you were using an old BB, we understand why you didn't wait

I like the new directions they're going:

Mention all the OEMs, different sizes, etc.

I wonder if the G2 will get 5.0. Semi-unlikely but it has been on 4.4 for a while so LG didn't do too bad there.

Either way, my N7 is ready for 5.0 to be inside it. Will run Titanium Backup every few hours to be ready for 5.0 drop.

indeed. I do miss my S3 tho... I am still super happy with the G3. Screen wise it's the same resolution and 5.5" is a great size. Plus LG will release L in a few months hopefully.

So no worries. And L AOSP.....hopefully it gets ported to the G3

New N5/N7 dev previews on the 17th. If that "preview" is more complete then I'll flash it on my N7

Never tried the first preview, wanted to wait for something more complete.

[Chevrolet Fanatic]

Not sure if I like the way that looks.

[stonehenge]

What's not to like? Looks sexy

I'm going to have to wait for reviews, sounds like it will be decent but I just think it will be too big for my taste after having a 7".

Might go with the Sony.

---------- Post added at 05:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 AM ----------

You notice how the ram on the Nexus 9 is only 2gb and the Sony Xperia Z3 is 3gb? The Sony also has an SD slot that the nexus does not. Think that ram difference and the SD slot for more storage sold me on the Sony.

Although that 64-bit NVIDIA Tegra K1 2.3 GHz would be nice.

Snapdragon 2.5 GHz Quad-core shouldn't be a slouch in the Sony though.

Hell I don't really know as much about tablets though so it's hard to decide.

---------- Post added at 05:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 AM ----------

Nvmd...I'm out.

I wanted the keyboard/cover for the N9, but holy fuck at the price.

The Nexus 9 keyboard is apparently $220 according to Gizmodo...

What the fuck?!

---------- Post added at 05:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 AM ----------

Hard for me to pass up this sex machine after seeing that news...



One of the best looking tablets I've seen IMO. A white one will match my white Galaxy perfect.

Dat lollipop.

Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with the Sony or the HTC. I like my 7" N7 but that HTC looks sexy.

Don't let a $200 keyboard change your mind, the Sony doesn't have a cheaper one does it?

LG's stock camera + HDR mode kind of sucks. I'll stick to Snapseed post editing.

The stock G2 camera is pretty nice. HDR doesn't really make a difference though. Its not exaggerated like your snapseed example.

Sent from my LG-D801

[M.B Co]

That example was with the HDR mode enabled on the G3. Not post with Snapseed.

[stonehenge]

wtf, I'm looking at it on my computer and it doesn't look exaggerated at all. For some reason when I saw it on my phone earlier I could have sworn it was HDR'd to hell. Something like this:





That motosackle pic looks good to me but yeah, Snapseed can make things look so much nicer.

Think I'll just wait for benchmarks and reviews. I'm willing to try the 9" size if it's going to be that much better than anything else android wise.

[M.B Co]

lollipop floodgates are open and ready to download. From the few videos of it running on the n5...it's glorious! I imagine CM12 will be ready very soon

On the N7:

Flashed factory image for 5.0 Preview
Flashed rooted boot.img
Flashed latest TWRP
Booted into TWRP, factory reset, let TWRP install SuperSU for me
Rebooted into the sexiness that is Lollipop



dfw this on my phone, I hope it finds it's way to the G2 somehow

Even the setup wizard is beautiful

The "Tap & Go" thing where you place another Android device up to it with NFC enabled to copy your accounts over worked great from my G2. It only copies over your GMail accounts, no exchange or app-specific accounts but it still saves you some time.

When I go to add an email account, I can choose pop or imap, no exchange

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

Found a fix for Exchange in the OP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goog...-live-t2908873

Too bad it doesn't fix Exchange for the 5.0 email app, looks a little prettier than the version in the play store.
