[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] neozen21:
I was faced with the same choice when it was time to upgrade, and I went for the DT 64gb version.

My brother went for the Note 4, so I know how enough to compare.

I would say, unless you don't like Samsung TouchWiz and prefer and leaner almost AOSP interface and/or prefer a smaller size, just say with the Note4. Also if battery life is your top concern, then DT is the way to go.

Both phones have same CPU/GPU, same memory, so if you find the Note4 slow (which is surprising!), then the Droid Turbo is not going to be any faster for you. Camera wise, the Note4's camera is superior with Optical stabilization and faster shutter.

As for the chance of root/unlock, I would say both phones have about the same chance. It's likely they will get rooted, but little chance of getting unlocked. I personally, came from a Galaxy S3 with CM11, so I miss many of the customizations CM11 allowed, but I'm starting to get used to it. The most annoying thing for me is not being able to see the unread email count with the default (active sync) email app.

The main reason that made me go with the DT instead of the Note4 is the size. I like to use my phone 1 handed and carry it in my front pocket. It would have been hard to do that with the Note4. (Plus the Developer edition was way backlogged)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] swboland:
I second just about everything that this guy says. Except that I'd say that the Note 4 is more likely to be unlocked/rooted on Verizon than the Droid Turbo is. The Note 4 is a cross-carrier device, so many many more people are using the Note 4 than the Droid Turbo. This means that many many more people are active in the dev community for the Note 4. Just look at the Verizon Note 4 forum here on XDA, it has WAY more activity than our Droid Turbo forum (and the Turbo forum acts as the Moto Maxx forum as well).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfinhu:
Hello all.

How can I backup I9515L? I have a Galaxy Ace and I was using CWM. Now with I9515L, should I have to use CWM again? I tried CWM but it doesn't recognizes my phone model. Is there a specific version of CWM?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
It's a new device model. I think isn't any custom recovery still.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfinhu:
Yeas. It's a good phone!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgnw:
Posting this thread in the Note 4 section and the Droid Turbo section to get fair, balanced opinions.

I currently have the VZW Note 4, and I'm thoroughly unimpressed. The camera quality is lacking, the phone isn't fast, though I keep reading how zippy it should be. I have 5 apps installed that didn't come with the phone, and have disabled the bloatware apps. With that said, I'm thinking of moving to the Droid Turbo and wanted some opinions.

I've read the comparison articles, and I'm hoping the community can help me make the best decision based on which phone is likely to root and/or unlock bootloader first, ROM availability, and longevity of update life (will I receive further updates beyond Lolli).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samzebian:
I can tell you this, if you aren't impressed by this camera, you will be sourly disappointed with the turbo's. I actually work for a Verizon Retailer, so I get to play with and sell these phones all day, and I can tell you the Turbo's camera, with it's 21MP lense and hype, is not the sharpest tool in the shed. It's ok, but not as good as something like the Note's camera.

You may see some slight performance differences, since they have essentially the same specs, but the turbo's software is much milder than touchwiz. That being said, I personally prefer a lot of features in touchwiz, but maybe that's because I've had like 4 touchwiz phones in a row. Either way, wouldn't hurt to try the turbo, but I can tell you that you probably won't like the camera, low-light performance in my experience was poor on the turbo.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
agreed i used a turbo in store the day they came out. the software is bland to say the least. camera is awful i couldnt stand at all. it might be able to take good photos but not just point and shoot like note 4. no sdcard and no removable battery also strikes it down in my book. note 4 all the way
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcforreal:
I agree with the other post the turbo camera isn't the best and lags behind the note in picture quality from the time I tested it.performance wise I'd say MAYBE the turbo will be a half a second faster ..because its almost stock. Far as updates the turbo might get lolipop faster then it again it may not because its a Verizon exclusive. I think IF either gets root it'll be the note since it much more popular than the turbo. Turbo is a OK phone but I think the note bests it overall but never hurts to try you may find the almost stock experience better
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgigabyte2002:
I did my research on both and I decided on the note 4 I was deciding on theses two for a while after reading reviews over and over the note won as far as I felt, I have also had only moto smart phones until now, I have had it for a month now and there's no way I would give it up love it, as far as lag been using Nova prime right from day one and never no lag fast as hell. Battery life is better than my old maxx.

[LG G Watch] Sideness:
Hi everyone !

Today, I noticed that my watch has 2 little scratches on the screen, I'm so disapointed !

I thought the screen of the watch was unscratchable like the gorilla glass of some phones, but apparently it isn't :(

Do you guys have scratches on the screen too ? Do you think that future smartwatches will be better protected than the G Watch ?

I wanted to buy a new watch next year but now I'm reconsidering the possibility. I want the watch to last more than 1 year !
[LG G Watch] reggie14:
Gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. If you're like me, you knock/drag your watch on lots of things. Basic things like sand can still scratch gorilla glass.

Do you have any watches that don't have scratched faces?

I let my pebble watch go free, but I got some screen protectors for my watch. I don't like how it looks, though. We'll see how long I keep it on. I might decide I'd rather just live with the occasional scratches.
[LG G Watch] scottharris4:
I had an extra screen protector for my phone that I cut to size for my watch
[LG G Watch] DaKillaWilla:
I bought some screen protectors off eBay. Perfectly cut to fit the screen. The brand is Supershieldz, they come in clear and matte.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolihopper:
Posted this on another forum but I figured here would be a better place to ask.

So I just recently got a Proscan 7100g tablet (I won it for free I know its bad dont judge me) and I have no idea how to root it. Ive tried all the one click programs but none of them support this device (not surprised).

As we all know Android 4.4 is hell and I want to be able to put apps on my sd card because 4 gb is not nearly enough space.

If anybody could help I would be very grateful.

Also I already have the dev mode enabled so you dont need to go through that part.

[Nexus 6  General] jt3:
While there are several threads announcing the release of Android 5.0.1, in regard to the Nexus 6, most of them seem to be filled with posts relating to the availability, instructions for sideloading, etc.

This thread is to discuss the CHANGES that you have noticed between 5.0 and 5.0.1, and as this is the Nexus 6 section, it should really relate to changes on that device only. You may list changes you've personally noticed, or published changes, but please indicate the source. I, like many of you, no doubt, am very curious to see what is new, fixed, broken, etc.

[Nexus 6  General] BlackBearTX:
On 5.0 I kept having the cloud print service or whatever keep crashing, on 5.0.1 I had the Amazon kindle app keep showing a notification Amazon kindle stopped for about 12 hours and had to reboot my phone. (Kept throwing the notification up about every 20 minutes on 5.0.1)

My phone has also been unable to chromecast netflix for the last week and I have to use my gf's nexus 6 to chromecast netflix. Weird little problems with applications on both operating systems.

Edit: Finally re-installed netflix and it fixed chromecasting.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
It would be nice to see a list of changes (In language a typical person speaks rather than the jumbled mess that those AOSP changes look like)
[Nexus 6  General] TheSopranos16:
I agree. Those AOSP changes are not that easy to understand. Also, they are just to the Android Operating System but doesn't the OTA also contain a new Modem and possibly other driver updates that would fix other issues with our phones? Those fixes and changes would not be in the AOSP list.

On a second note, why does Google do this? They obviously know whats changed. How hard is it to publish a simple list?
[Nexus 6  General] agentfazexx:

I think they just updated the kernel because the OTA update we received is just 13.3 MB. It has improved the battery life and there's some increase for me in the score of Antutu Benchmark.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace. Shanny:
I'm using m8 for 5 months. Recently, my phone was unable to detect any sim. So for this I had to change the IC of sim connection. The technician changed it and it's working now. While checking the phone if everything's working or not I found two problems. 1. As you can see in attachments The front camera's button disappeared. Tried downloading many apps, did cleared the cache and data of camera. Also tried soft and hard resetting. But none helped.

2. The duo camera isn't working anymore.

So my question is, can these reasons be somehow caused by the culprit technician, did he gave me a faulty IC or it's just my phone's fault?
[Verizon LG G3] shake450:
I'm running JasmineROM 4.0 which comes debloated. I have the LG apps zip that I can flash as well. But I was wondering what you all thought about which apps you think are necessary, useful, horrible, useless, etc. The zip contains the following APK files.

LgActionManager - Don't know what this is

LgBackup- Don't know what this is

LgCalculator

LgConciergeBoard- Don't know what this is

LGconnectionWizard- Don't know what this is

LgEasyHome - I think this is the alternate home that is super-simplified

lgEmail - If I only use gmail and yahoo apps, I don't need this, do I?

lgFavoriteContactsWidget - - Don't know what this is exactly

LgFilemanager- Don't know what this is, but I do have Root Browser that I use

LgMusic - Haven't used this, is it good?

lgmusicwidget - I assume this goes with the music app

lgpcsuite- Don't know what this is

lgqvoiceplus- Don't know what this is

lgsmartsharebeam_wfds- Don't know what this is

lgtasks- Don't know what this is

lgthinkfreeviewer- Don't know what this is

lgtts- Don't know what this is

lgvoicecommand- Don't know what this is

lgvoicecommandservice- Don't know what this is

lgwfdsservice- Don't know what this is

I assume some of these apps there is a verizon or google equivalent. In those cases, which would you prefer?

Can you give me any ideas what all or some of these apks are for?
[Verizon LG G3] Jimi Mack:
The easiest way to answer your questions with each one is, if you do not know what it is, then more than likely you do not need it. These are just apps LG has created for it's own phones that you can get the same type of app from Google or download from places like the Play store. and Amazon etc... The whole idea is allowing you to better customize the rom to your liking. I personally prefer to install my apps and not use LG versions. Yet if you really need to know what each app is, Google each one separately.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
For Sprint Edge only--please take a look at Settings, scroll down to "About Device". Just above it, is it "Activate this device" or "System update"?

If you see "Activate this device", take a look at the two attached images. According to Sprint, you should have "System update". It is where you perform the PRL and profile updates.

Pages 3 and 4

http://support.sprint.com/support/t...g_List_Samsung_Galaxy_Notereg_Edge/56117-1389

There is a menu item under Settings > About device > System updates, but it's not the same thing.

If your System update is missing: Are you rooted? Have you disabled/frozen any apps? Running Xposed? I'm trying to isolate the problem.

If your System updates is NOT missing--Are you rooted?

BTW, I did a factory reset (I'm using my own rooted/deodexed stock ROM), and the menu is still not there. I allowed Sprint Zone and Sprint ID to install all the junk, still no joy.

Thanks.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
I did some more testing. My factory reset was with Xposed framework, Better Battery Status, and a few other things installed. I tried a few other things:

This problem has to be related to something that got installed into /system.

Case 1: Factory reset with Xposed, Better Battery Status, and a few other items intact: No System update menu

Case 2: Disable Xposed (removed framework): Still no System update menu

Case 3: Flash the same rooted deodexed ROM with nothing else added: System update menu is there.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
Okay.... I did more testing.

1) I re-flashed the stock rooted ROM. It went through the activation, Sprint Zone, Sprint ID, and bloat installation. Afterwards, System update was there (as before).

2) Restored my /data partition over what I just did above, then reinstalled Xposed, Better Battery Status, GSam Battery, AppOps Xposed, had SuperSU update the binary, and rebooted. System update is still there.

(All the Sprint bloat was gone because my /data backup overwrote what was installed in step 1)

Background: When I first noticed that the menu was missing, my phone had never previously went through the formal activation process. I had the phone on WiFi only for a couple of weeks while I rooted, and set up my apps. When I called Sprint, I had to use the "Activate this phone" menu to pull down the provision.

So now, my theory is that, during the initial setup/activation/Sprint Zone/Sprint ID install process, one of those steps inserts the menu item into Settings. Unless that is properly completed, the System update won't be there.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
I made an interesting finding after all my testing. When I open Wanam, the Update system menu goes away on the next reboot. At that point, I have to restore from Nandroid to get the menu entry back.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thuddome:
I'm running Wanam, mine stays
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
So the plot thickens. I restored the phone to a state where the menu is there. I learned that so long as I do not open Wanam, the menu stays. To test, I uninstalled Wanam via Xposed, rebooted, reinstalled Wanam, rebooted, and opened Wanam. Bam--the menu disappears. Wanam does/writes something to the /system partition on opening that makes my menu disappears.

It's strange that yours is fine. I'm totally lost now.

For you who have the missing menu, are you running Wanam? If you can restore to factory state (will need to flash the ROM, not just wipe) and duplicate my findings?
