This one's okay but considering a V10 isn't Pure Android, it isn't as fitting lol:

chevyrado14 · 10-29-2015, 07:50 PM

yea and with my moto x it would have to say fastboot oem unlock sdojvhsdvouhsdvhsviuhvlihvluhvliuhfv. stupid moto locked bootloader code

**stonehenge** · 10-29-2015, 07:59 PM

rofl oh yeah

Did you get the code and unlock it already?

chevyrado14 · 10-29-2015, 08:01 PM

nope still locked and stock. cant really do anything now anyway on this testdrive with moto. as long as tethering keeps working I dont plan on unlocking.

**stonehenge** · 10-29-2015, 08:40 PM

The only real reason I can think of wanting root (and unlock if I need to flash anything to achieve this) is long-press to change tracks, I'll miss that if I can't easily get it working.

Other than that... maybe disabling a little bloat or something but I don't mind LG's bloat and a lot of it can be disabled anyway. This can be done with root, don't need unlock.

Cam, VZW stores have V10s now, will start selling them tomorrow. If you care. Can't tell with all the waffling

chevyrado14 · 10-29-2015, 08:43 PM

i do miss long press to change tracks sometimes. but i use a bluetooth dongle in my truck to listen to my phone and i can just press a button on it to change songs now so it isnt so bad. i hope to get a new radio with bluetooth built in soon and i will be able to use my steering wheel buttons to change then.

**stonehenge** · 10-29-2015, 08:47 PM

I use a dongle ( ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) in the CV too so I'm fine there, but I also listen to music while at work sometimes, while walking, and when I go to bed. In bed I use an old shitty earbud since I'm likely to roll over and destroy it one of these days. It's nice to reach over in the dark and hold a button down instead of turning the screen on and blinding myself

Cez★ · 10-29-2015, 08:48 PM

Can use 2nd screen to change tracks

chevyrado14 · 10-29-2015, 08:52 PM

i can also use moto display to change tracks and pause without waking whole screen

**stonehenge** · 10-29-2015, 08:53 PM

still have to look at the damned thing instead of reaching blindly

Cez, I think the music controls are only on the "awake" version of the 2nd screen. The "screen off" 2nd screen only has time/notifications and toggles. The "awake" one has recently used apps, favorite apps, favorite contacts, music controls, and signature.

idk for sure though, will see tomorrow

Cez★ · 10-29-2015, 09:09 PM

Thanks Juan!

Still waffling if I want to take plunge on 6P or V10.

If I get 6P, need to order 6s to flip. Otherwise I can get v10 straight from. Best Buy

Then again, I may get 6s and use to upgrade account and then give 6s to gf. She needs new phone and could probably use it.

**stonehenge** · 10-30-2015, 04:14 AM

V10 has free goodies too don't forget

I know. I know. just trying to figure out whats best.

In terms of stability/call quality, do you think pure vanilla will run better than the LG? Considering I will root/rom either one since I dont use android pay (or whatever it is).

**stonehenge** · 10-30-2015, 05:41 AM

Stability and call quality will probably be the same on either one honestly. OEM skins may or may not be your cup of tea but they're usually stable and made to utilize the hardware pretty well.

Just weigh price, free goodies, sd slots, removable batteries, vanilla android, nexus dev scene, etc.

race2c · 10-30-2015, 05:52 AM

Yea, it's all important stuff to weigh.

The local media storage is nice, but honestly, I don't think I would use more than the 64gb on a 6P. I have an OTG cable and would just need the USB Type C to micro usb adapter.

Developer support is not so much a big factor anymore, since I pretty much want a device to just work. I basically just use a rom/root to get rid of factory bloat. Customization has gone downhill too. Setup Nova, setup KLWP. use device.

The battery not being removable is a buzzkill, but I carry a amp/dac that is also a battery back-up (fiio e18) for those emergency reasons. Per ifixit, it appears battery replacement may be pain, so that may be a downside if I keep the device.

Size-wise is important. A phablet at gym cannot be fun. If the 5X had same tech specs as 6P, that would be a simple answer. For some reason, Google must think that the market for small devices is not there.

**stonehenge** · 10-30-2015, 05:58 AM

Size issue applies to both phones. Also, V10 has 32 bit DAC. Supposed to be nice with lossless audio and nice headphones.

race2c · 10-30-2015, 06:24 AM

As to size of 6P vs V10, yes that is correct.

If V10 is not in picture, to me (personal preference), I can better handle the 5X size for a daily phone (gym, pocket use, phone in car, etc). Just happens the tech specs of 5X are blah when compared to 6P/V10.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Not bad for battery life on S5. Still trying to figure out a bit on wakelocks from amplify, betterbattery stats and wakelockdetector.

**stonehenge** · 10-30-2015, 02:04 PM

The Phandroid guy who reviewed the 5X said it was sluggish and meh. This was after using a 6P for weeks though so he's comparing. 5X probably has similar or worse specs than tour current phone lol

race2c · 10-30-2015, 03:28 PM

A lot of folls are saying tthat. If the 5X had the same internal specs (processor, ram, etc) as 6P there would probably be more people who went with the smaller device.

---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------

May cruise by the local VZW place today to see/handle V10

Cez★ · 10-30-2015, 03:56 PM

May cruise by local T-Mobile to buy v10
