[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] civiksi:
I was debating this too. I bought the turbo and love it. For $100 bucks more you get wireless charging, insane specs, bigger battery, and a beautiful screen. Its not as big as you think it is in person! I'm glad I went with the turbo. I came from a S4 so the buttons didn't bother me although I would've preferred on screen ones. I have had zero issues with this thing and I have no buyers remorse. And I paid full price for it. Go check it out in person.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lukeco11:
I sold the X to pick up the Turbo. X is a great phone but the battery life was bad.

:cool:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jal3223:
I'm actually thinking that I'm going to end up trading my Turbo in for an X. I just don't feel like the hardware is optimized for a 2k screen at this time. I mean visually you can't even really tell that it is higher resolution but you can definitely see the performance suffering in places from it. I experience a good bit of lag when scrolling around and sometimes It even hangs for a good second or two before finally registering the touch. I've also noticed a lot of wavy/warping text when scrolling around on webpages. It's really weird. It's almost like the text takes a second to catch up with the screen and creates like a wavy sensation. Something I've never experienced with all of the 1080p screen phones that I've had. I've showed a few people and they agreed that they probably couldn't deal with it. I feel like Lollipop may correct these issues but I really don't want to take the chance in case it doesn't because I paid full price. I know many people will disagree with my observation but I was just going to put my experience out there for those trying to make a decision.

I do get really good battery life on a plus side though.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] furfmonkey:
moto x with slightly better battery life would be perfect... android l might be the solution they estimate 30% more life via the new battery app
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
I agree on most of that you wrote, maybe 1080p display could increase battery life a lot, but you are losing the point also of having a future proof phone. I know that content is not optimized for 2K yet, but technology is going to that, to show better and more optimized content for this kind of displays.

About the lag, I think is really weird because everyone says that the phone is a beast and runs really good.

:confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jal3223:
I'm not sure if there really is a such thing as future proof in this game. :) Even after watching a 2K video, I'd say it would be very hard for anyone to tell the difference between that and full HD. Hopefully you're right though and the display can be optimized. I really do want to like this phone.

It does run smoothly most of the time, but it definitely has it's hiccups a good bit to though. Many more of these hiccups are experienced on the Turbo as opposed to my Galaxy s5 or M8. Most obvious is when I'm scrolling through a webpage or the XDA app I know that I hit the screen properly so I'll wait instead of trying to re-swipe and about 2 seconds or so later the screen finally responds to what I did. It honestly happens a good bit. I've saw it on Twitter, chrome, Xda, the Amazon app, Twitter, and YouTube. Hopefully a software tweek can be made to fix it as I don't see any performance sufferings while playing videos. I haven't really tried games yet but if I do I'll report back.

I can really deal with all of the lag but the text/screen warping issue is my main concern at this point. There is a thread in the general section describing what we know/dont know about it. It really looks like the screen can't keep up with swipes so it causes this wavy effect. If it can't be fixed I'll definitely be getting rid of the phone as I'm somewhat of a display junkie.

I totally agree man.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
It seems that the Lollipop build that is leaked to the Moto X gives impressive results concerning battery life; if this is true, maybe I will change my mind to the Moto X, because I really like it and still the capacitive buttons are not my thing. If the Moto X can last for a full day, I will have to consider it again.

[Samsung Gear S] hughedee74:
I'm not an ATT customer so the ATT store wouldn't sell it to me unless I have an account. The thing is I wanted the great no contract price of $299 so that I can choose whom ever I'd like service with. So I just asked my friend that has Att service if I could use his account info to buy the device and it worked. Sold me the gear S with no tie ins. No contact at full price of $299.

Compare that to no contract pricing of :

T-Mobile $350

Sprint $384
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
I thought the ATT gear s was not unlocked?
[Samsung Gear S] hughedee74:
Go into the store buy it at full cost unlocked. Trust me it worked.
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
Good to hear. Ya im going after work today to pick mine up from the ATT store. I dont think im going to get service on it though. I trying to see if I can just use the sim card from my note 4 in it.
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
Your choice of carriers is still limited. You can only use it with GSM carriers which means AT&T and T-mobile and their prepaid partners. It doesn't support AWS so won't guarantee 3G on t-mobile.
[Samsung Gear S] hd2Raz:
Wait wouldn't your friend have to add some kind of gear s plan to his account? If not then I need to find an At&t friend.
[Samsung Gear S] ksantangelo23:
I was considering the same since the local Sprint stores are out of stock, but every ATT store is swimming in them. Then it came to me that Sprint cannot work with GSM.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
THIS anyone know any extra AT&T friends
[Samsung Gear S] ksantangelo23:
I wonder if its better to just buy the Gear S outright, with no service plan and rely completely on Bluetooth. I'm never without my phone, plus it would be nice to not have to pay $10/mo for a service I know I'd never use (3G on watch).

My only worry would be endless prompts of "No Service" but I'm not sure if that's how it would work.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
if you forward your calls it should not say that you could always buy a sim card just to have in there I suppose maybe even add a pre-paid sim card that runs on AT&T net work net10 or something. I plan to not use the card service as well
[Samsung Gear S] Tikerz:
So you put in a T-Mobile nano SIM in it and it works?
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
BREAKING NEWS :I got my gear S from AT&T near seconds ago 325.49 off contract still sealed in the box sales guy said the sim card is built in if I ever wanted to attach it to some kind of plan :confused:any who I have Sprint so no GSM for me I ll post pix when I get home
[Samsung Gear S] ksantangelo23:
I ( aSprint customer) went to ATT and bought the Gear S outright, no problem at all :) Didnt require someone else with a plan, although I kept a friend of mine on standby :p
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
Doesn't matter. Still should work with CDMA YAY! Just need to get a Sprint sim or any sim of your choosing. If you want to use it with your Sprint account then you'll need that sim. The watch is CDMA capable. I don't know about AWS but T-Mobile seems to say it is 4G (HSPA+) compatible. I don't know that it will work on 1700 but they also use the standard for their 3G. Tizen is not locked and the device shouldn't be either.
[Samsung Gear S] deangeloparker:
Hello everyone. After a long search this morning I finally found a AT&T store with a Gear S. Bought it outright (not a AT&T customer) with out any problems. Finally got home and popped my tmobile sim card in it and found out it is carrier locked. Has anybody else tried this with different outcome? Plz let me know.

Can't you unlock it as you would a phone? llike simunlock.com or something. I am not a customer either but I have Sprint with their fake sim card (uicc card only gives LTE no LTE on watch). what about a pre-paid sim card running off AT&T like Straight talk or Net 10 something like that

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

I haven't opened it yet still debating to keep my gear 2 or not mean while I did post in on Swappa/Craigslist :D but for now if I decide to keep I will figure something out with a sim card not paying 30$ a month for a freak watch plan on AT&T
[Samsung Gear S] mi7chy:
What's the verdict if it's unlocked and can be used on Verizon? I'd rather pay $299 than $399. Would prefer Android but for $299 I can live with Tizen and hope a Google Voice and Groove IP equivalent app show up eventually.
[Samsung Gear S] deangeloparker84:
You could unlock it.. But i might as well just wait for T-Mobile to sell there's... Since i have to pay for the unlock

Will t-mobile unlock it for you after a certain time? I know with phones they want you to be on a plan for 40 days for phone anyway. Someone said 60days for AT&T Sprint no go

Hi everyone, long time lurker on the forums but a rare poster.

Anyway, I flashed Android Revolution HD 21.0 to my htc m8 and noticed there's no option for Wifi calling. Does anyone know when this will be added (or if I'm doing something wrong)?

I updated the RUU as well (S-ON still but unlocked bootloader with CWM and root).

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] scoxlade:
My new XDA Orbit (not overclocked) has a reasonable speed for most functions, EXCEPT when trying to access my 8000 Contacts:

1. Opening the Contacts screen can take up to 30 secs, although on my XDA IIi it's virtually instantaneous.

2. Finding a Contact by typing in the first few letters can take even longer.

3. It took me nearly 5 hours to ActiveSync (v4.1) these 8000 contacts onto my Orbit, whereas it only takes about 15 mins with a cold-booted XDA IIi.

Any ideas how I can drastically speed up any or all of the above?

Many thanks in advance

Steve
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] MrButcher:
ähem 8000 contacts?

I think THAT is the reason why it is soo slow.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] esackbauer:
I guess the reason is WM5. The contacts database is not stored in volatile (fast) memory, but in flash memory (slow).

The good thing: in case of empty battery you wont lose your 8000 contacts.

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/07/14/438991.aspx
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] scoxlade:
Thanks.

Well, as I said, it is virtually instantanous on my XDA IIi, but on the Orbit, it's like watching paint dry (except slower!)

Also, I'm surprised it's that much slower just opening a screen, or doing a search. Isn't it indexed?

Also, is there a way to store them in volatile (fast) memory, or adding faster indexing, perhaps through a 3rd party app?

Thanks

Steve
[AT&T LG G3] bozz723:
Hi there,

I am sort of new to rooting and have never installed a custom android operating system or ROM yet. I would like to put on something with Android 5.0 if possible, but if none are out yet, which is the best ROM to put on my LG G3, and a tutorial to do it?

I want to use all of the eatures of the phon still as well.

Are there lollipop ROMS out yet for this phone, and if not should I wait for it?

Thank for your help.

[AT&T LG G3] pravus87:
I too am using Cloudy and find that the top half of the phone doesn't heat up as much. There's an eco mode you can turn on as well. Not sure it that's what's going the trick, but I've kept it on because the battery life is great now.

As for the lag, have you tried flashing Pure Performance X? It's made all the ROMs I've tried snappier (including Cloudy).

I'm using Viper for my third day now. The first day the battery drained really fast as google processes was raelly active, but the last two days ive gotten over 4 hours of screen on time easily and it's definitely been an improvement over stock for me. I havent played any games but phone did not get hot watching youtube vids.

I am not familiary with pure performance X, looks interesting though.
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
One thing I like about the note 4 is that its easy to get the sim card out. Could I just use that sim card an put it into the gear s when I needed to?

I know some of you all already have the watch. Would you all be able to try this out?
[Samsung Gear S] Hovscorpion12:
I'm unaware what Sim works with the Gear S. It could be micro or nano sim.

[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:

Gear S has a NANO sim, I also can insert any SIM I like and it works here in Switzerland.

ah well then. i can use the one in my note 4 then. unless i cut mine down to a micro an then used and adapter to make it work in the note 4...
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
What company do you have
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
I have att. I think I may ask att to give me a nano sim card. It only cost like 10 bucks.

Then I can use this to make the same sim card work for both the gear s and note 4

[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
I may just get it with service for a month or two but I may look into getting my note 4 sim as a nano sim and then test everything out.

I just ordered the sim card adapter off amazon.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
Do you have to add it to a family plan or something
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
I am on the 30gig family share plan right now. I will be adding the gear s to that plan. but I dont need the cell hook up all the time on it. Was just going to use it as a BT watch and then when I need to just take the sim card out of my phone but for only 10 bucks a month I may just leave it.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
oh ok so that would be good to use the Phone for "Emergency's only" per say. So that would be a good deal for you to buy on contract and if you decide to pay it off sooner is cool you have options :D
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
Well just left att. I bought the watch off contract and added service on it. Might as well try it out the way samsung made it. They had the gear circle there also but was sold out. Both the phone and circle are much nicer in person. Price on the circle was 100. I may get on off Amazon though.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
which plan did you get? I forgot your on Verizon cool.

You know the drill pictures or it didn't happen
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
It was $10 bucks to add it to my plan. After taxes I think it will be 14 bucks.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:

[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
Yep thats it.
[Samsung Gear S] ampm325:

[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
Its working out well. Only thing I dont like is that you only have 2gigs free of space on the device. I wanted to put some music on it and i was down to 200mb free space. I hope the next version has at least 8gb os space
[Samsung Gear S] myisf08:
Are you sure re: 2gb? The watch should have 4gb of internal storage.

...didn't see the typical insta-thread here, heh.

Edit: Forgot to mention... this includes a new modem, I know people are always interested in that.

As a side note, I've been running the build as part of an early access test for a few days now... has been extremely solid for me.

Edit again: LINKS!

• Link to the OTA: http://builds.cyngn.com/fota/incremental/bacon/cm-bacon-ac1ccf7921-to-5fa8c79c0b-signed.zip

MD5: 684bc3eb256f06a912505628551cba24

Super mini guide: As long as your system is stock, flash away in stock or custom recovery. I always re-flash the SuperSU zip immediately following, YMMV.

• Link to the OTA with a modified script (by [MENTION=1546609]gianton[/MENTION]) for installing regardless of system changes: https://mega.co.nz/#!EdBQ1Y4C!P85kyvVp1iR_I4IiuLKPxGBqskE3fueWe0OGAFidGEg

FAQ (since people are allergic to reading and searching):

1. ZOMG WHY NO WIFI AFTER OTA?: Because you used a custom kernel and didn't clean up your system files properly. Either follow that kernel threads instructions for OTA-prep'ing or flash back to that kernel.

2. I don't run CM 11S but I can totally flash this CM11S update, right?: No. If you want to flash the 44S OTA update, get yourself to CM11S 38R.
