[Nexus 6  General] jtc276:
It's not an essential upgrade of course, but this is XDA and usually most people upgrading here aren't doing it because they need to. From the Carphone Warehouse video, the camera is apparently almost as good as the Note 4's in daytime shots and slightly better in lowlight shots. So it should be comparable, if not a bit better, than the S5's. The Nexus 6 will certainly be a great deal bigger, so assess whether or not a big phone is for you (I'd test out an iPhone 6 Plus and a Note 4 and see if you think you can adjust). It's subjective, but I and many others vastly prefer stock Android over TouchWiz and that's always been a reason to buy a Nexus device for me. Take in mind you'll be giving up expandable storage and removable batteries. I'm not sure if that's important to you or not, though.

I'm specifically replying to agree with what you're saying about the iPhone 6. I've been using mine since launch (4.7", 128gb), and I almost hate how much I love it. The last time I tried out an iPhone was with the iPhone 5 and after three weeks I felt like I was being held back in functionality over Android and switched back to my original HTC One, sold the iPhone, and didn't look back. This time, though, I don't see myself doing that. I'm past the honeymoon phase and am still finding very few things to dislike. The screen, the camera, the battery life, the smoothness. It's all on point. I've been annoyed by a lack of customizability a couple times, but my lack of complaints in other areas allow it. This is the first device I've ever had that I don't believe has an Achilles heel. It's almost a shame that it's an iPhone, though. I'm hoping the Nexus 6 will be the Android equivalent.

My opinion

Samsung is pleasing to the eye when it's not randomly rebooting/overheating and the biggest negative is TOUCHWIZ

Everything else other than Samsung is a plus
[Nexus 6  General] Baldilocks:
No the Nexus 6 has a newer/better camera hardware than the Moto X.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

The only thing I like about Touchwiz, is the Messaging App and the Photo Gallery/Editing Options. Everything else is just way over the top.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
The debate is pretty simply...do you wish to get an OS update before you sell the device?

If so...then Samsung is right off the list.
[Nexus 6  General] istrikerx:
To be fair, they're getting better.

Sadly the quicker they update things, the buggier they seem to be.

The Note 3 still has issues receiving notifications in standby.

The Moto X Play had been filed through the fcc and is coming to t-mobile and att. The problem is when.
[Nexus 6  General] dr.m0x:
Nexus 6 is the battery life tests prove acceptable. If the battery is disappointing I'll probably stick with the OnePlus One.

Moto X we don't really see in New Zealand, and it's too small anyway.

Samsung? After owning an s3, note 2, s4 and then note 3 I'm not going there again.

Hello

We are indie developers working on apps for android and IOS. In our time spent developing we noticed that one of our biggest problems is where to find necessary resources and materials to learn new things. Now don't get me wrong there is certainly no shortage of content about how to develop an app. But we've all seen and read articles that can be basically summed up into “If you want to market your app use Facebook”. Yeah, well that is not very useful.

We decided that in order to solve this problem we want to make community hub with all the necessary information in one place. We will scout the web for all the great articles, content and useful information about app programing, marketing and design and convert that content into infographics. This community hub will be used mainly to deliver snapshots (visual data) about very interesting (and often long articles) in a very easy and most importantly fast and readable way. This will ensure that you will not waste time searching for articles and then realizing that this is not what you wanted to know. You can just check out infographics and then decide if this is what interests you and click on the source to see all the links to articles that can further expand your knowledge about topic.

We want to hear your opinion on all this guys. This is a non-profit project and it will take us a lot of time to complete. So we want to make sure that there are people who will find this useful.

Recently got ARHD 20.3 and really don't like the navigation bar taking up so much space on the screen. Anyone I can make it transparent? Status bar would also be nice.

If not, is there any app/tweak that hides the navigation bar and comes back when I swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen (or anything similar).

Thanks

So I just got this phone this week, and I knew it wouldn't have band 20 support from every single info page there is on the web basically, including official Motorola pages.

I was even considering switching operators when buying this phone..

My old HTC One M7 had Band 8, 800mhz, but not 900Mhz, so I never had coverage outside any city or at home.

Band 20 is 900mhz, and is the only band Tele2 Sweden has long range LTE on, which is nonstandard, everyone else is using band 8 for this.

But imagine my surprise when I DO get maximum LTE coverage, literally everywhere I've been.

So I'm properly confused, what does this thing support? Or did I get ridiculously lucky and got an completely unlocked device or what?

The about page says I have the XT1092.

Any info on how to that. I can root my phone. That pretty easy. But the other part.

Greatly appreciated.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwong96:
The build.prop edit is not difficult. Once rooted, open build.prop with a root file explorer of your choice and add the following line at the very end:

fw.max_users=2

This is how the multi-user function gets added to tablets. I haven't tried it on phones, so back up your build.prop and let us know how it works out.

Have you tried logging into the app in guest mode while signed into the app as the device owner? That may work also.

Hello john,

It might not be the answer you need or the easiest, but this is my trick :

Change your Rom to an asian rom :eek:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gads1:
Hello --

would like to understand why M8 ROM has to be built for specific carrier variant of phone.

Example:

HTC ONE M8 has multiple different ROM threads -- ATT, Tmobile, Verizon, etc.

While I understand there are some small frequencies support differences between an M8_Tmobile and M8_Verizon, why doesn't a Rooted with S-off M8 care whether it's a ATT or Verizon model?

Example2:

VenonROM specifically advertises it works on multiple flavors of M8

Example3:

GPE_#BESTROMEVER_ says specifically for M8_Verizon. why is this?

Does this have something to do with any of following: CID, MID, and/or base vendor ROM used for platform?

I have small company and want to buy a bunch of M8's and give to employees (vs having them do $650 financing through carrier). I'd like to use SAME ROM across all M86 .. regardless of M8_flavor. I'd like to understand why some ROM's are specific and others support multiple M8_flavors to help in my decision.

Thanks in adv.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Well for one there's some specific hardware provisioning pieces.

If you look at a multi carrier Rom zip you will often notice that the updater script picks up one which variant the phone is and flashes files specific to that carrier. You would need to do something like that if you wanted to use a common Rom across multiple phones.

You also have to be careful too as have had devices that had different partition layouts on different carriers. Heck, the Asian m8 even has a different cpu.

Lastly, firmware is a completely different animal than your Rom. Flashing att firmware on a Sprint or Verizon phone could end up as a brick.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] About20ninj45:
I pre-ordered the device via BB only to find out that several stores in my area only received a handful of stock ( less than 8 within a 90 mile radius .) So, I am trying to figure out if this is a nationwide thing? Whats the advantage of pre-ordering when you can go to sprint on launch day and pick one up? I called BB mobile number and they told me that they were waiting on the manufacturer. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or is this just an isolated issue for my area?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatboypup:
My store had 2... TWO im so pissed i even was going to buy it at sprint but they said the double buyback credit was over ...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ville2000:
Yeah same here in east Tennessee, pre ordered last month to only go in bright and early today and be told they don't have mine in, that I didn't pre order as early as some (also on my date of pre order the lady that helped me said "we will have enough that if you change your mind about the color you want you can change it that day" well she was wrong, and they told me to keep calling back and that they may get a shipment TONIGHT. It really blows to be let down by a terrible product release on the release date. I so happened to eyeball the cage with the phones in them and they had only around 15 note 4's, needless to say I will never pre order with them again and plus the misinformation given to me they should be held accountable due to the lack of training they give staff (that or the staff was trying to get rid of me).
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] About20ninj45:
I feel the pain

YOu guys are absolutely right, I asked a manager about the issue and they blamed it on the manufacturer saying that samsung didnt deliver enough of them. Whats the point of pre-ordering if I can go to the sprint store on launch day and walk out with a phone? Sprint stores in my area are still offering the (up to 200 trade in) but not the samsung guarantee 200 with the trade in, of a phone worth atleast 10 dollars. YOU SUCK BEST BUY!

I called mine, and they said they had a lot of ATT models, and I was the 3rd person from Sprint to preorder.... This guy told me that they only got 2 sprint phones. and I'd have to wait on next shipment.... Best buy is garbage. It wasn't Samsung, its Best Buy, because if sprint has a surplus and has Pre-Orders AND walk-ins, there is a gap here. They better honor the deal considering it's their fault they don't have my phone ready. I plan on going in and paying 100 + taxes give or take.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Man, this sucks that you guys are having all this trouble.

The whole double buyback thing is a farce anyway, especially if you're dealing with a relatively new device. No way would I have traded in my LG G3 for $200. I'll sell it on eBay and get at least $350 - $400 for it. This is why I normally just go with the carrier stores. Sure, their promotions aren't always great, but I paid $79 less than Best Buy would have charged me ($720 vs. $799) and I had the phone in my hands yesterday, delivered right to my door. To boot, I'll make almost double what Best Buy would have given me for my old phone. All that combined is totally worth foregoing the promotions in my book.

Regardless, I hope you guys get your phones soon That's total BS. What's the point in pre-ordering if you can't get the product on release day? Isn't that the reason pre-orders exist in the first place?

[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] yayaaa:
m developing an Android app but im still inexperient with some sdk stuff. One of the things is about multiple resolutions.

I know that, Android documentations talks about using multiple image folders for the screen resolutions. But i ask myself, how to reduce App size? And thats where i find "rezise Images". Plus, i unpack some App's and saw that they used just one folder, for one image.

My questions is, should i use "resize images" or should i use many images for multiple folders? What is the differences? What people usually do? What advantages and disavantages?

Im really thinking about this.. Get Android device density, and rezise image by density.. But i dont know if this is the best pratices, or something.
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] VGDTom:
Usually the purpose on using different images for different densities is used on buttons or graphics that you want to have a specific "real-life size". For example in order for a button to be touchable by a human finger it needs to be about 48dp (dp = density independent pixels), for example in a device with high density 48px (pixels) makes the button too small, so if it is 48dp it becomes 72px on screen which is about the same size in real-life.

On big images like in a gallery or something this should be discouraged, you can provide an image in big size and android will automatically resize it in smaller densities. This is quite visible on buttons but not that visible on images.

I'm not sure about the "line" that defines when you need to choose one way or the other, just whatever suits your needs.

Edit: I forgot to mention that it is not good practice to resize images by yourself, if you put an image on "drawable-hdpi" folder (for high density) and a device is using medium density then android will resize the image for you.
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] SergeyPekar:
I prefer to use less image files. For example I store all app images in xxhpi and xhdpi folders. For other destinies android will reduce image sizes automatically.

Also I use services to reduce image size like tinypng
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] efleurine:
I agree we should try to use less image files than possible but as VGDTom said they is no clear line of when we should provide all the different image sizes and when we would provide only some of the largest which can be re-sized. I would say you will have to compromise on which aspect of your app your totally want to provide the best image for it. For instance I think the app icon is needs all its images just to always make sure you look create in every home screen but for other less important item you can compromise.

Instead of always creating 5 images, creating 5 emulators is a trade off to test, based on what you see you can decide if you need to create one image for each spec.
