You wouldn't want to be out in the rain we get here in the desert during monsoon season. If you've never seen it on the Discovery Channel or anything, think of it like a hurricane that comes out of nowhere, lasts 5-30 minutes, and instantly floods streets into impassable rivers. We have here what's known colloquially as the "Stupid Motorist Law", where if you have to call emergency services because you stranded yourself by driving in an unsafe area (when a sign says "Do not enter when flooded", DO NOT ENTER), you have to pay the cost of your rescue. Unfortunately, sometimes, it's not the driver's fault, as flash floods can hit where it's not even raining, because that's how the water travels down the "washes". It seems like every year or 3 there are a few fatalities because a car or pedestrians crossed the wrong wash or bridge at the wrong time and got broadsided by a 6 foot, 40mph wall of water they couldn't see coming.

Pretty area. I've been living here for 16 years, and I honestly can't see myself living outside the Sonoran Desert. I love getting pics of the little lizards and other critters that run around here. I've taken some pretty cool pics of scorpions under UV too. That's one reason I need a phone with a better camera. Maybe I should rethink the Sony Z3/Z3C now that root is available without deleting the DRM keys. There's certainly a few months out of the year where a waterproof phone would be nice, considering I ride a bike everywhere.

OPO Camera is a decent camera better in some ways than my S5.

I live in Central California and it gets pretty hot here as well... I believe we had 57 days of over 100* and plenty over 110 and I've lived here most of my life.

I'm ready for a change to cooler wetter climes.

Yes sir....not been great....buffalo got it worse and the canadian east coast is getting Pounded bad also...its the severe cold here more than the snow...been more than a few days around -40 c with windchill..im used to it but i dont care how long youve been living in cold weather areas....that is not fun. I moved last Saturday in a snow storm...awesome. the only fun thing was me being able to drift around corners in a 26ft moving truck lol...scared the crap outta my helpers but i loved it. Just like summer in my stang..well kinda lol.

Looks like i wont be getting a new device anytime soon.

S6 will be too small...g flex 2 is 5.5 inches..im on the fence there..nexus 6 will be outdated somewhat ( by my standards only) with all the new 810 devices coming out and im just fed up with googles and motos inability to have stock for canada of the white 64gb..no excuse for that after all this time. Ive kinda lost interest at this point..too bad was ready to buy it launch day but of course money in my pocket and nothing to spend it on...very frustrating .

I've got a little money coming I'm thinking of picking up a tmo s6 MAYBE or the Saygus v2 or even the OnePlusTwo

I really enjoy this OPO but I'm intrigued in the specs of the S6
[General Topics] Planterz:
It was cold here yesterday. 50°F. Down from 70-80°.:D

I'd wait a while before buying an 810 powered device. I've been seeing a lot about overheating and thermal throttling. As for the Nexus 6 64gb, they're not exactly easy to find below the 49th parallel either. You'd think a company like Google would have the clout and escrow to ramp production up to meet demands.

Hopefully the T-Mobile S6's bootloader is unlocked. They've been inconsistent lately. The S5's and Note 4's and LG G3's bootloaders are unlocked, but recent updates to the Galaxy Avant have locked the bootloader to both the T-Mo and MetroPCS versions. The ZTE ZMAX's are locked down tighter than a mid '70's Frank Zappa band. Maybe they're only locking down the cheaper phones, but if there's a reason, I can't figure it out.
[General Topics] s8freak:
We'll see Planterz but if not tmo it'll be the international s6 then I'm done with locked down bootloaders for sure.

Note 3 neo or G2 ?

Note 3 neo have a sd card and removable battery , but poor camera and performance , and not an amazing screen ...(720p).

I'm coming from an S4. Thanks :)
[General Topics] s8freak:
It's to bad you've had some bad phones.

I think I read in the threads there's fixes for the touchscreen.

I've had zero problems with my OPO it's been the best phone I've owned.

My Galaxy S4 has been my worst phone it has a no sim card error that there's no fix for and it's happened to a ton of them from several different carriers.

You're right about the cost of the N4, my wife has one that I picked up on the Next program but honestly I don't like it.

Too big for my taste. Although battery life is excellent.
[General Topics] force70:
Id stay with the s4 probably or pick up an original note 3 (not the cheap neo version)..G2 is great if you dont mind the limited storage.

LG came back to the race but i'm afraid to get some issue with the phone...

And how is the Htc One ? I LOVE the design , but there is one minor issue ... bad battery life... some users in xda can't even reach 5h SOT , i know it depends on the usage but overall , a lot say that battery life isn't that good..

The One is really solid and resist to drops ;)

So final choice : HTC One or G2 ? :(

Hi i will buy a new android device but i can't choose what it's the best at the moment.

I haven't any budget limits so i'm looking for a flagship smartphone.

I love the Nexus brand, i owned Nexus s Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 so i think i must buy the new Nexus 6 but is it really the best?

So i looked the Note 4 LG G3 HTC One (M8) and One Plus One.

What should i buy? Which is the best in the market?

Please help me :D:D
[General Topics] force70:
Note 4 or nexus 6.

I like the nexus for the 6" screen and front stereo speakers but not having a removable battery and ext sd card support (and only a small 64gb int storage) just flat out sucks. So note 4 imo.

Plus the note 4 camera is much better all around.

That said the new LG G flex 2 will be out shortly with 810 processor...thats one to also consider.

Battery and sd card aren't a problem for me..

With the Note 4 are there the same supports of roms and customization that i could find with the Nexus 6?

i think Note 4 and Nexus 6 have the same performance.. is that correct?
[General Topics] force70:
Nexus still has more development given its nature but there is no shortage on the note 4 thats for sure.

I think performance is close..tw still lags a bit on the stock note 4 buts thats easily resolved. Benchmark scores usually have nexus 6 higher but they dont mean much imo.

Looking for suggestions-

I'm currently on a Sprint Galaxy S 4, and while I am very happy with it, I am ready to move on. My contract allows me to upgrade discounted this week. I don't need to pull the trigger this week, but I do want to make the best choice.

I just read the announcements on the Galaxy S 6. I had my heart set on this until I read news that it does not have a microSD slot or removable battery. I'm going to immediately speculate these are no-nos for me as far as I can imagine. If this wasn't on the table for April 10th, what should I get? Now, if the 128GB version isn't more than say $250 with contract, I may consider that. Not holding my breath.

I definitely want microSD. Removable battery isn't such a big deal given I have at least 4x Anker batteries and a few ZAGGs sitting around. I also must have the ability to run AOSP ROMs natively (without Safestrap or the likes). My current ROM of choice is OmniROM, but I also like AOKP.

Your thoughts would be great! Any phones I should scratch off my list due to rooting or bootloader issues would be helpful too.

Remember, I'm on Sprint, and I know that limits my choices.

I'm really convinced all OPO's get it once they overheat. Come to Australia for a week you'll see :P it'll probably not even last that long.

I would buy the note for the camera. I really liked the oneplus for it's development etc it's just the customer service... Mine broke 2 times and a lot of people's OPO breaks due to the heat so I just don't trust the company anymore. The xiaomi is really nice but a bit overpriced and same problem again: If it breaks, I'll have to get it back to china... I'm currently in Australia and no one will ship the phone under a $120 because of the battery...

I really do not undestand why Samsung did this with S6? Why it doesnt have slot for sd? It does not hurt.

Ok, I do understand that internal memory is faster than sd class 10, so buyers could be more positive experience with using internal memory. But, us, mortals, know that if samsung says, 16GB, 9GB is for itself. This amazing start for ruin, forced users buy somenthing that cant upgrade by ourselves, battery, microsd...

I guess they are envious of apples sales so this is there android version on an iphone?

[General Topics] Planterz:
While I understand Samsung moving to a "premium" build rather than the cheap plastic feel of previous Galaxy flagships, the lack of SD card and non-removable battery baffles me too. Even with a 128gb option. And I know there'll be plenty of pissed off former Samsung customers who will be disappointed in not being able to change the battery. LG listened to their customers when the G2 had neither, and the G3 has both. HTC at least listened with the microSD slot. Sony at least still keeps the slot, as well as waterproofness.

Why can't someone make a phone that is waterproof, has front facing speakers, microSD card slot(s), and a removable battery? And root out of the box and dual boot and metal/kevlar construction and IR blaster and fingerprint scanner keep the cost around $600?:p

I'm pretty much done with Samsung regardless, if only because of KNOX. Maybe I'll pick up an Avant or whatever its replacement is whenever band 12 hits Tucson to replace my Light as my internet mule, but I can't see myself spending $650+ on a phone that irrevocably has a voided warranty because you want to root. A 128gb S6 GPE would have some merits though...
