[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cory Daehn:
I took a look at the permissions.xml file on my Samsung Galaxy Avant (SM-G386T/KK4.4.2) and found these entries:

<permission name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

<group gid="sdcard_r"/>

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

<group gid="sdcard_r"/>

<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

<group gid="sdcard_r"/>

<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>

<group gid="sdcard_all"/>

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE">

<group gid="media_rw"/>

</permission>

Are these standard permissions that can be granted on install, or are they something Samsung added to this Touchwiz build? Seems like they would be a simple enough solution to Google's stupid move restricting access to the removable storage in 4.4+?

[Nexus 6  General] Earthbrain:
Well, to be complete since there are threads of Nexus 6 vs. OnePlus One and Note 4 I thought I might just make this post.

Nexus 6

Differences

Screen: higher resolution and bigger size

Battery: larger

Price: cheaper

Camera: higher mega pixels

RAM: higher

Similarities

Battery: non-replaceable

OS: No bloat wares with only stock OS

Carriers: can be used on all carriers

Things still unknown between the 2 phones.

1. Battery life?

2. Camera images?

3. Can the Nexus 6 do slow motion video recordings?
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
"Screw iPhones, how dare you post that crap here?????"

Just kidding.

Both phones offer advantages that the other doesn't. I think this is a note-worthy comparison but it shouldn't boil down to just comparing specs. I mean, iPhones have poor specs, on paper, when compared to the top Android devices but it's rarely the case in real-world performance. For example, in benchmarks, iPhones usually win in single-core and graphics departments. iPhones have been notorious for their build quality and top-of-the-line camera performance. Then I suppose you could go into the classic LCD vs AMOLED displays argument.

However, I think at the end of the day, the biggest deciding factor is going to be the software: are you more inclined towards iOS or Android?

Since this is primarily an Android forum, let me start out by bringing up some of the plusses of iPhones:

- TouchID. Here's a great post by XDA member _MetalHead_ explaining some of the advantages brought by TouchID.

- Continuity is a pretty amazing feature. Seamless syncing between OSX and iOS as well picking up where you left off is pretty genius. I can't wait for the day we get something similar on Android.

- The camera on iPhones, despite being 8-megapixels, is still one the best smartphone cameras around.

- iOS still gets the good apps and games first. Apps generally look better on iOS; although, now with the release of Android L, I think that gap is going to become more narrow.

Honestly, if this post was made before we knew about Android L, I would have added a lot of things to the list above such as the consistency across iOS. Thankfully Android L has brought this much needed consistency in the form of material design.

And it goes back to my first point: which OS do you prefer?

For me, that choice is clear: it's Android. I love customizing the hell out of my phones (and a plethora of other things that Android does better than iOS). Nothing beats Android in that department. My biggest gripes in the past, such as an inconsistent UI, untimely updates on non-Nexus devices and ****ty build quality have pretty much all been addressed by the Nexus 6 and Android L.

jkjk Iunno, iphone may just have better camera, but let hope not. Pure android is just as optimized as the IOS, so imagine it with these crazy specs :eek:
[Nexus 6  General] Jayrod1980:
None of us know the Nexus' battery life yet. I can say that I get no joke, at least 10 hours of "usage" as in screen time on my iPhone 6 plus on LTE/wifi. It is excellent in that way. Also has a gorgeous screen, nice build, and an absolutely amazing camera. I think iOS8 is so much nicer to look at on a screen of this quality. I look at my Nexus 7 and 5.0 just is ugly and bland in comparison. Why the hell did Google use GRAY for text? It just reduces otherwise nice screens to a bland pastel geometric mess.

However, this is my first iPhone, and man I miss android, especially the Moto X iteration of android. The features and how it all works together just can't be beat. I'm getting the Nexus 6, and I really hope the battery life is similar. iOS is just so so boring, and if you like GOOGLE apps, then I don't see how anyone can like an iPhone. Google app integration, or any 3rd party for that matter, is just so minimal, even with iOS8. I'm literally having Google Now and home screen withdrawls. Also, once Google Inbox goes live with the public, I'm sure people will be clamoring for what Google offers on android.

Yosemite on my rMBP is amazing however, first apple laptop too.
[Nexus 6  General] oneplus:
10+ hrs screen on time on iphone 6+ cannot ever be beaten by this nexus. Apple optimizes their OS at max. Is FACT.
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
As far as I know, Usage =/ Screen On Time, you could essentially play music for 3 hours and iOS would count it as usage.

I'm not discrediting what you are saying, you could by all means be getting 10 hours of screen on time but I associate the great battery life of the 6 Plus with its amazing standby time.

Most android devices lose about 1% or more an hour in standby, it's the cost for having an OS with so much freedom. IOS on the other hand is extremely locked down in terms of background process allowing devices like the 6 Plus to lose nearly no battery over the course 10 hour period while in idle.

This may seem insignificant but that percent or two you lose in a hour is roughly 6 -10 minutes of screen on time. Over the course of a day, this can add up to a large amount. On the 6 Plus, you lose very little thus allowing you get better battery life in real world usage than comparable android devices like the Note 4.

Most android devices tend to out preform the 6 Plus in a pure battery endurance test but once you compare real world usage, the 6 Plus tends to outlast them.

The Nexus 6 stands a good chance of beating the 6 Plus because of the optimization Google is able to do as well as the lack of rogue background processes found on stock android. TouchWiz is a nightmare for standby battery drain, there is just way too many background processes to deal with which continue to drain battery.

[Nexus 6  General] eksasol:
I don't need more than 5 hours screen on time in a single day, I need a kick in the ass if I'm on the phone any longer than that in a day. This should be possible with the Nexus 6, but probably not any longer than that.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
The screen on time calculated by IOS must be different then how it is calculated on android. I think in IOS when the lock screen is on it counts as screen on time. Because my iPhone 6 gave me more screen on time than the M8 did despite the M8 having much better battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] fkloznica:
That on ios isn't sot. It is usage. A totally different thing
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
Usage on iOS is essentially "awake" time.
[Nexus 6  General] jimlivingston:
Qi wireless charging and NFC. I am not sure I could give up my Qi pucks and stereo which uses NFC to begin playing music when I lay my phone on it, plus wireless charge it. If the iPhone 6+ could do that, I would give it a whirl, but it cannot. Maybe the 6S+ will... or not.
[Nexus 6  General] amebiasis:
I currently have a N3 and my wife has had her 6+ for about a month now. After the first week of her having her phone I actually went ahead and put an order in for one to, and I had always been an Android guy, but her 6+ is one if not the smoothest phones I've ever used. Battery easily outlast my N3 battery, screen is on par, and the camera despite being 8mp imo takes better pics. I wound up cancelling my order though once I found out the N6 is coming to Verizon because the one main thing iOS is missing is the ability to fully customize. Also because I have a ton of purchases ive made over the last 5 years on the Play Market id hate to loose. But in all honesty the 6+ is a great phone. Look at it as just a different oem skin not OS, and if you ever get a chance to spend some time with one you can really respect it as a top of the line phone.
[Nexus 6  General] shook187:
I'm a lifer Android user, just look at my post count on here (I'm a loser) but I recently purchased the 6+ and I can't believe I'm saying this but it is absolutely one of my favorite devices of all time. Battery life cannot be matched by any android devices currently on the market. The screen is absolutely stunning to look at and has that wow factor that I've never gotten on an android device, the HTC m7 (Believe it or not over the M8) actually came close.

And what really sold me on iOS are the apps. They are so much more refined and seem to be less susceptible to force closing like I've gotten plenty of times on several different devices.

The transition from going over to iOS from android was made easier once I got over the fact that I don't have home screens and my phone isn't customizable. Once that's out the system you come to the conclusion that ultimately a phone is only as good as the apps and in this case, iOS apps are so much better over android apps it made the transition to iOS that much easier.

Can't believe I just said I prefer iOS over Android.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Posts like yours make me happy. Being both an Android and iPhone user for a long time, I have come to love both sides for different reasons. I feel that most Android users just blindly hate iOS, which there is no reason for. So what if you can't customize the homescreens? Like you said, that's actually kind of nice because you don't have to sit and mess with it to get it to your liking. Everything else about iOS is great, and even if Apple is behind the curve sometimes with certain features, when they finally do implement something, they always do it right. Take Touch ID for instance- yeah the Atrix was the first phone with a fingerprint scanner, but it sucked. Touch ID on the other hand is awesome and a complete game changer as far as I'm concerned. And like you said, the apps available for the iPhone are generally more refined than their Android counterparts, and Android simply can't touch iOS when it comes to gaming. The iPhone is an absolutely gorgeous device, and iOS is every bit as gorgeous. The bottom line is this- fanboys on either side of the fence are ridiculous and downright pathetic sometimes. People like you and I have the great benefit of being able to use all these wonderful pieces of technology, regardless of the logo that's stamped on them. It's a freedom that I wish everyone could experience but unfortunately some people are just way too closed minded. And you know something? It's their loss.
[Nexus 6  General] stevieraveon:
Quick question, I was looking through your posts. Can you explain this?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55784427&postcount=54

So did you change your mind after the iPhone 6? Lack of customization is one of the reasons I'm thinking of trying the iPhone (last one I had was the 3Gs). I've got an iPad (after multiple Android tablets there were too many iPad only apps that I wanted) and I almost like the lack of customizing iOS to an extent. I find when I grab my iPad, I actually use it. I am not spending time how to improve it.

I spend more time tweaking my android phones than I spend using them. I'm constantly tweaking the launcher, icon packs, finding new Xposed modules, flashing Roms, etc.

I read "The Paradox of Choice" where basically the idea is that the more choices you have, the less satisfied you are after making a decision. I find I'm always thinking there's a better launcher, icon pack, android device, etc. I have too many choices. With iOS it is what it is and I deal with it. With the iPhone you know there won't be another device you'll want until the next yearly refresh cycle.

But I'm still thinking I may pre-order the Nexus 6 :)
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
This is why I love my iPad so much more than my Nexus 7. When I'm using it, I'm only looking at the home screen for a second until I find the app I want to use. I have zero need or desire to customize it. The apps are better, and battery life is phenomenal. Not to mention the build quality is unparalleled in the tablet world, save for the Surface Pro 3. I barely use my Nexus 7 and when I do, it's usually just tinkering. The iPad is hands down the best tablet ever made, IMO.
[Nexus 6  General] shook187:
At the time when I made that comment I actually had the iPhone 6 and returned it for 6+ and while I still think the OS is boring I found myself Liking a lot of others things like the screen and battery life of the 6+ and like I already stated the apps themselves are much better on iOS.

Also a few other things I ended up liking, like the ability to talk and browse the web on LTE and wi-Fi calling on T-Mobile seen more fluid and also the seamless exchange between Wi-Fi calling and cellular
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
My thoughts on the Nexus 6, iPhone 6+ and a tad on the future of phones :)

I've used an iPhone 6+ numerous times and I really like the screen however I can still see pixels if I look long enough, just like on any phone screen to date. The 6+ has the best, brightest and most colourful phone screen I have seen yet. I think it is better than the Note 4 (but I still think the Note 4 is the best Android phone screen I've ever seen).

Compare the 6+ with the Note 4 I think the 6+ is brighter with better colours. The Note 4 is really nice but not as bright or colourful so it loses points. Now the Nexus 6 will likely get the same screen as the Note 3 with added pixels and larger size. The tech will likely be the same (although I'm hoping the Nexus 6 has the same screen as the Note 4...it would be a first as Samsung never let their latest tech out to other companies). The Nexus 6 will not be able to compete with the 6+ on colours or brightness or overall vibrancy. Having said that...I hope it looks better than a blown-up Note 3.

In terms of style and design - I think the 6+ wins here. The 6+ is much thinner and lighter with a potentially better camera. The Nexus 6 is fat with a likely worse camera (at least, worse rear camera). The best thing about the Nexus 6 is the fact that it fits such a large screen into thin bezels (the 6+ is stupid-sized for a 5.5" screen).

In terms of processing power I think both phones will be equally good and the average person doing normal things (web browsing, phones, email, texting, calls) will not be able to tell the difference. Both will be super fast.

Overall I think the Nexus 6 will have a good screen (worse than the Note 4 and 6+) and decent camera. I would take it over the 6+ because I've always been with Android, so Im scared to go to iOS (I've never owned a Mac and I'm a PC guy).

My 2c.

Side note:

I just have this feeling that Android phones CAN match iPhone on EVERY spec but for some reason don't. Is it that hard to have a phone like:

- 5.5" to 6" screen (non-scratch)

- Screen resolution of 1080P to Full 2k (1600P+) with brightness to match or greater than iPhone 6

- Tiny bezels (like Nexus 6/LG G3)

- The body of the phone being less than 8mm thick (between 6 and 7 would be fine)

- 3,300 battery (or potentially higher)

- Equivalent or greater rear camera (compared with iPhone 6+)

- 5 megapixel front camera with flash

- 4gig RAM

- 64bit processor (quad core or more)

- Vanilla Android with a fleshed out camera app, heavily optimised OS to save battery in everyday use

- Waterproof/dustproof

These specs might initially sound 'out of this world' but seriously we can't be far off these, can we? The 6+ has the thinness (7.1mm) with the good rear camera and very bright, vivid screen + 64bit chipset. The Nexus 6 has a 2K 5.95" screen and 3250mh battery. The upcoming Galaxy S6 is rumoured to have 4gigs of RAM + QHD screen + big battery + great rear camera + waterproof +64bit. Can we really be that far off the specs I provided? I don't think it is unreasonable...anyway I'm getting off track.

Nexus 6 good.

iPhone 6+ good.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
iOS is an incredibly limiting and frustrating OS to anyone who wants to do anything beyond launch some apps. People like to say Android is for 'nerds' who like to 'spend all day customizing' but that's nonsense. iOS won't let you do basic everyday tasks.

The one area where I'll admit Apple got it right is the camera. There's nothing else about the hw or sw that's attractive.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I only find iOS limiting when it comes to customization. In every other area it excels. With the way I use my smartphones, I have no issues with iOS- it can do for me everything that Android can do. There is a beauty in its simplicity that makes it a joy to use.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
I think there is also evidence in the sheer number of phones that Apple sells. I agree with _MetalHead_. Simplicity can be really beautiful. Apple gives a great user experience which is one of the reasons that they sell so well.
[Nexus 6  General] tenghc:
How about tasker? Everything in android can be automated, wherever you go, customization indeed will suck up your battery life. IOS is great indeed, just that it suits up for person who don't care much about customization.

For me, its android. Just my opinion.

[Nexus 6  General] wendellc:
I'm a nexus user, I feel that with the iPhone 6 and iOS 8 the, apple now very similar to android. IPhone now has a large screen and a lot of android features are now showing up on IOS. I am loving the new material design on my nexus 5, 5.0 lollipop is freakin wicked and will be purchasing a nexus 6 once its released. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I just prefer android over IOS. I also like Google as a company.
