[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davste93:
I have an HTC M8, and I find Google Play music to be a humongous battery drainer, even if the app is just open and I'm not listening to any music at all - it shows me that with the screen off, up to 70% of the battery drain is it's fault.

I am looking to buy a MicroSD card - 64Gb or 128Gb (if the price is right) and am looking for recommendations. I had purchased a cheap, generic 64Gb card., which worked fine out of box. Within a month it began to have errors and finally failed.

My goal is to use this as media storage - books and comics mostly. So speed is not an essential requirement.

Anyone have any suggestions?
[Shield Tablet Accessories] MidgetMob:
I've been using this Samsung Evo Class 64GB Micro SDXC Card since the tablet was released. It seems to have decent speed and I haven't had any problems with it yet. There's also the Pro version for an extra $20 that apparently does 90 MB/s.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] koop1955:
Thanks, [MENTION=6279337]MidgetMob[/MENTION], that seems to be the way to go. Grateful for your advice.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] prmax:
Just ordered the 64gb Evo Pro.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] aenews:
By and far, the 64GB G.SKILL microSD is one of the best out there, with amazing speeds, a stellar lifetime warranty, and a ridiculously low price ($24 for the next 72 Hours). You will never have to worry about your card failing since it will be replaced even if it fails five years from now. And it absolutely blows the EVO out of the water in terms of speed. Testing with A1 SD Bench on my Shield Tablet, I'm getting 72.00MB/s Read & 38.64MB/s Write with mine. I store almost all the significantly large apps on the microSD.

[Shield Tablet Accessories] MidgetMob:
That's a nice price for 64GB. As for the warranty, the Evo is 5 years. Of course it's not as good as a lifetime warranty, however 5 years isn't bad either imo.

Reads and writes are quite nice, but how are the IOPS?
[Shield Tablet Accessories] koop1955:
I did pick up and have been using a Samsung and it has worked fine. But at that price, I think that I will grab a G.Skill as well. (Can't have too much tech!)

Thanks, everyone!
[Shield Tablet Accessories] aenews:
Isn't MB/s to IOPS a straight conversion? Not sure about 4K Read/Writes since A1 doesn't include it in testing, and not sure what utility is best for testing on Ubuntu. And not sure if the card reader would provide reliable results given its age.

I'm testing copying over files to test write speeds. I copied over 3.92GB of files (4,214,000 Bytes) in 284 seconds from the internal storage to the G.SKILL (AVG: 14.15MB/s). There were probably slight lapses due to copying multiple files, however. Tried copying a single 429MB file (450,687,000 Bytes), and it took 19 seconds (AVG: 22.6MB/s).

Hey guys

I just got my nexus player about an hour ago and straight away tried to cast some TV shows to it but apon this I discovered the resolution for whatever reason really really sucks even though it should be in 1080p.

It's all pixelated when people/characters move there's distortion around them too anyone have any idea why this is?

EDIT: Same happens even with files directly downloaded onto the nexus player :S

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jlamour4:
Hey guys, I came across this issue a few days ago. I'll try to explain this as best as I can:

After messing around with my phone, I discovered I am unable to view any of my files in the sdcard directory. When I open it up in a file manager, NOTHING shows up. In addition to this, I can't download or save pictures and files. I can't do anything with my sdcard it seems. Yet, when I go to storage in settings, it still says my files are there. PLEASE HELP!

This is what my phone's directory looks like from a computer:

This is exactly what I did to my phone for it to stop showing my files:

- Flashed Ephoria version 1.0 with Android 5.0.2

-Flashed DSP manager over it even though the rom is CM and has AudioFX

-Fixed permissions

-Repeated process a few times after I realized files weren't showing up

(Let me know if you need me to specify anything!)

Is there a fix for this issue? Does anyone have any idea what I should do?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jlamour4:
Along with this issue, I'm unable to download any ROMS or Kernels to fix this issue. Basically, I can't go anywhere from here and will probably have to format everything/factory reset to completely solve this issue...

Hello everyone,

Now we are having fun with the Lollipop in our device. But our device doesn't seem to support every features of Lollipop. I was longing to use

the new features of android.hardware.camer2 API. But when i tried apps like Manual Camera, L Camera ; they report " It is not supported in your device". Devs isn't there anyway to integrate Camera2 support in any ROMs. :confused:

Its The reason that not even a single OEM go bang on this bad boy api, it requires lot of hardware elements to be in. Don't keep your hopes with Moto g on this ,,I an damm sure even moto x' 14 will not get this
[G 2014 General] raju sesharaj:
This is the 4th or 5th thread i am going through which talks about Camera API 2.0 its pretty evident that our phones will never ever get the Camera API 2.0 support, please stop creating threads which wont yield anything!!
[G 2014 General] QuillzToxic:
May I add somthing?

The Moto G has the same camera sensor as the nexus 5, the nexus 5 has camera2 api.

Also the camera2 is no hardware stuff, its an api to controll the camera manually.

Hey, maybe we could get 1080p through some camera2 api majic
[G 2014 General] sky0165:
I was going to answer that. Our phone is pretty capable of almost everything Camera API 2 provides to N5 (except 4k). If some dev be interested and start dig arround i bet we would end with something. We have all sources from both devices.
[G 2014 General] QuillzToxic:
:P 4k would be a tiny bit too boss
[G 2014 General] sky0165:
4k wouldn't be possible i believe because of the SoC pipeline. It would be too much data to be handled.

But things like ISO selection this would be perfectly possible, once on N5 this option was selectable even before camera api v2.
[G 2014 General] QuillzToxic:
I would help, but I don't think I would be able to help mutch, I have no idea about kernals/libs.

But I'm looking forward to better shots.

It would be possible with some devlopment... Just mutch slower.

[G 2014 General] raju sesharaj:
He is a ROM developer dude

He is a ROM developer dude the software side of things Camera API 2.0 needs support of hardware as well as all those library files and modules. In short a complete rewrite of existing underlying Camera software which is very difficult since it requires proprietary files drivers etc. Seeing S6 or S6 Edge or any other major phone lacking it at the moment i feel we will never it until someone develops an open source driver kinda thing for it
[G 2014 General] Tel864:
I'm not sure what the big deal is with the camera thing. There are literally dozens of camera apps out there that are as good or better than the stock cameras. On the suggestion of someone at XDA that I forget who, I tried A Better Camera and liked it so much I purchased it. It will save to the SD card and has more features than the standard camera.
[G 2014 General] harshilsharma63:
Try finding an app for manual focus, RAW support, exposure time and ISO sensitivity.

BTW also try Camera FV5. It kicks A Better Camera's a** in terms of bringing powerful features to your phone.
[G 2014 General] sky0165:
We are all speculating here, even you. No one has a digged to find if we can use anything from Nexus 5. The ones who has skills for this kind of thing is simply not interested.

The only thing we don't share with N5 is SoC.
[G 2014 General] raju sesharaj:
Not like that dude!!

U said easily dude our camera lacks OIS, and aperture differs things like these are very much proprietary. Simply saying developers need more resources and lot of time and kindly understand they are developing for a hobby and not as a livelihood. If you really want to develop kindly have coding lessons, Lean java learn how to compile and implement all features. Simply saying i already know we will never ever get camera api 2.0 features in Moto G not now not in future unless Motorola wants it no developer can do magic and make it compatible so please this thread or any other thread relating to camera api wont go anywhere and we wont see any development in these areas
[G 2014 General] Tel864:
You really can't compare the Nexus 5 camera with the Moto G 2014 camera. The Nexus 5 has a 8-megapixel 1/3.2-inch sensor and an f/2.5 lens. The Moto has a 5-megapixel f/2.4 lens. While 3 megapixels isn't much, it's a lot when you compare 8 to 5. You can add all the camera software you want to the phone, and in the end you're going to get a PHONE with a 5 MP camera. It's never going to the like that DSLR you've always wanted or even close to the Sony phone with it's hotshot camera. You can stop wishing for the Nexus camera app on the Moto and just get one of the manual focus apps on Play. It's probably the best you're going to do.
[G 2014 General] Lynse:
Moto G 2014 have a 8 MP Camera. The sensor is the same as Nexus 5 but some things are different, lens on Nexus 5 are better, as well as other things...

About CameraAPI2, even Galaxy s6 don't have it and i am sure Samsung will not add it in future updates, Moto X 2014 does not have it, and i am 99% sure X 2015 will not have it too, we can live without it, if someone can port it (it will gives a lot of headaches, i think) so.. great.

Till I discovered that my calendar triggered Google services a lot.

[Galaxy S6 General] Hanson68:
This seems to be a personal preference thing. Half the reviews think the Edge is nicer to hold and the other half don't like how sharp the sides are. Same with the M9 -- some reviewers like the extra grip from the lip but some felt it was uncomfortable and dug into their hands.
[Galaxy S6 General] lawtq:
For me it wasnt that bad to hold at all

What else apart from the feel in hand makes you prefer the standard s6? I only had 20 minutes or so but decided on the standard due to it having:

sharper clearer screen

undistorted video viewing and images just looked better

better tempered glass protector and case fitting chances

This after being dead set on buying the edge, tell us your thoughts
[Galaxy S6 General] knives89:
The edge feels much to small, coming from a note 4 that might be expected of most phone but the edge felt a lot smaller then the s6. I also didn't like the fact that it's harder to see content on the edges cause it does wrap around, to me those "benefits" don't make up for the difference in price me, especially when I was all for the edge before I got to hold then both. Keep in mind though, that's just my opinion.
[Galaxy S6 General] lawtq:
It's like you're explaining exactly how I felt. Gimmicky and disappointed is what I was left feeling when I was ready to make love to it as I walked in. Before all this I was cursing the standard one for being boring and nothing special. I was wrong

I think Samsung will increase its use later. But I watch a lot of video and like that crisper flatter screen
