[LG G Flex 2] faslane:
Same here.....better stuff to do than argue preference.
[LG G Flex 2] syryanyang:
I most certainly don't prefer not having extra options. Removable battery is useless but expandable storage is a bonus I certainly wouldn't mind having.

With that being said, 32G/64G is more than enough for most people unless you wanna torrent bluray movies and watch them on a 5 inch device. I store lots of lossless music and images and I was never in need of extra storage.

The other poster was right about Apple, Google and Samsung's agendas. But there are many more OEM's that sell their higher storage units at a reasonable price. Oneplus for example charges extra $50 for 64g version.

The only occasion I see expandable storage being useful is shooting lengthy 4k videos and maybe watching VR in the future.
[LG G Flex 2] Nemado:
I advise you to stop thinking that your opinion is cold hard facts or you will soon be the guy nobody cares to read. Just because you think boot time doesn't matter doesn't mean that it doesn't matter to anybody. Some people just want their phone to work when they want to, and to them boot time is important. Besides, Samsung topped Apple in the number of smartphone sold as of June 2015. But through sheer marketing power, Apple still manages to sell its devices despite their being outrageously expensive. How you can write so much when you know so little is beyond me.
[LG G Flex 2] syryanyang:
Then those people should go build their own phones 'cause major OEMs sure as hell don't cater for niche markets.

The year Samsung's flagships ditched removable battery and SD card they topped apple in shipment volume. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Way to take it personally.

Is he still arguing over personal preference? I left a week ago. ;)
[LG G Flex 2] simon21:
My household has the sprint flex 2 and the Verizon s6 edge for the last couple of months. At first, I was disappointed with the flex 2 and almost sold it, but after the 5.1.1 update, it really makes a difference. The s6 edge is still on 5.0 2 months after the flex 2 was updated. Both phones are great devices but the following are reasons why I would go with the flex 2 over the s6 edge.

The battery life is a little better on the flex after the update. Actually, it's the best battery life I have ever had, even better than the flex 1.

They both overheat so that's about even, except the flex 2 seems to get a little more throttled. In real world use, I can't tell much of a difference since the 5.1.1 update. Both are about equally as smooth, even though the antutu is much higher on the s6.

The SD card slot has been really helpful in the flex 2. I just popped in the card from my previous phone and everything is there. It's still possible to do the same on the s6 by just transferring everything, but it takes a lot of time and I still haven't done it in the s6 edge.

The camera on the s6 edge is better, but not by much.

The screen on the s6 edge is supposed to be better, but I have found that the viewing experience is better on the flex 2 actually. I can't tell much difference between the resolution even though the s6 edge has a higher resolution. The s6 looks a little brighter, but the flex 2 screen is bigger and the curve gives it a nice effect. The edge curve on the s6 is cool for the first few days, but it's mostly a gimmick. The s6 edge doesn't have miracast, and if it does, it's too difficult to find, so I use the flex 2 only to cast the screen to my TV. Not all apps have chromecast support, such as kodi, and the flex 2 is much more convenient for that.

The wireless charging is a nice feature on the s6 edge and I would have liked to have it in the flex 2 without needing a universal adapter, but the truth is that the powermat is a joke and the qi just doesn't get used much because it's slower and heats the phone.

The flex 2 feels much lighter.

The sprint flex 2 is the only phone I have ever had that works on all 4 carriers. I'm using it on Verizon right now as I'm typing this up on it.

The flex 2 was literally about a third of the price of the s6 edge. We got the 128 gb s6 edge and with a $40 microsd card, the flex has more memory instantaneously. Even after a couple of months, the market price is much lower on the flex 2.

Overall they are both good devices, but I would personally go with the flex 2. I hope this helps someone on deciding which to get.
[LG G Flex 2] juggamonkey:
How are you using it on Verizon did you get it unlocked from Sprint or what method?
[LG G Flex 2] simon21:
Yes, it's also in another post. I just called sprint and had them unlock the phone. Then I just popped in the Verizon sim card just to see what happens, and it actually just worked. It registers on the Verizon network and gets the APN automatically. It goes into roaming mode. I have not figured out how to get MMS working, but everything else seems to work. It doesn't get 4G everywhere, but most places it does.
[LG G Flex 2] StardustOne:
Take a close look, the S6 camera with 16 MP pictures are showing less detail than the LG G Flex2 ones with 13 MP. That was the reason why I did not buy the Samsung. And the great price, 249 for the Flex2 is a steal ☺.

Hi, I have the T-Mobile Samsung S6 and I synced my Facebook Contacts. I realized the stock Contacts App displays all my contacts, so I selected Customized List under Contacts to Display and unchecked Facebook ALL Contacts. However, even after doing this my Facebook contacts STILL show in the list. Has anyone been successful in keeping Facebook Sync on but NOT having them display under Contacts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] reficuliu:
Really? No one else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] v2.2v:
I'm betting you have sync contacts checked within the actual facebook app. Go to the facebook app...then go to app settings....scroll all the way to the bottom.....is sync contacts on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] reficuliu:
Yes that is correct. I have it set on "Sync with Existing Contacts". Problem is, instead of syncing with existing contacts, it syncs all of my Facebook contacts and shows it in the Contact phone book, regardless if they were an existing contact or not.

You might want to try out Haxsync from the Playstore. Reviews are good...might be worth the $1.00.

EDIT: I just checked out the app in the playstore....I might be wrong. It hasnt been updated since 2013 lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] reficuliu:
lol ok well seems like there isn't a quick solution to this.. .probably something with Samsung or Facebook's side. Thanks for the research though! I recall using Haxsync many years ago as well. It kinda solved some issues with syncing, though not perfect. I doubt any phone really needs it now lol, given no update since 2013
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] v2.2v:
lol luckily I don't sync or care to sync my FB with my contacts. Either way hope you find something that works!

Went to app manager tried to 'clear defaults' on the Gallery app, that was grey'd out.

tried to freeze gallery with Link2sd, when i click the preview from camera, it throws an error msg.

i can't take the dim images of the stock gallery app, quickpic is so much faster.

any ideas?

i am rooted.:confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedicemaster:
it's greyed out because gallery isn't set as default for anything.

it's hardcoded into the camera app that it should use the gallery app in preview mode.

the only way to get around this is by using a 3rd party camera app, but loading previews will be slower.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xvsanx:
I've looked in the manual and searched on Google but no information found about preventing overcharging if you leave your phone charging overnight. My S4's battery was pretty bad near the end of its run so I'm trying to avoid that with the S6.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
I would assume so as most modern chargers do, especially the ones that come with the phone.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
My question is, does the wireless charging protect against overcharging? :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Unless Samsung wants every phone to explode YES THEY DO HAVE OVERCHARGE PROTECTION LOLOLOLOL what a dumb question..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twisted_mind:
The phone does indeed stop charging once it hits 100% so definitely no overcharging. I use an Anker 40w mutiport USB charger for all my devices and the S6 definitely has no issues as far as overcharging is concerned. Have tested the stock adaptive fast charger too. Same results. Nothing to worry about.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarrantCWO:
see other answer
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarrantCWO:
Actually cheetah2k, your answer is pretty dumb. It's a great question. It depends on the charger. For example, some advertise as having overcharge protection while some, such as Samsung's own charging stand, say to remove from charger once charged. Otherwise the battery can overheat and shorten the life of the battery. Read the product description carefully if leaving the phone in the charger for longer periods is anticipated.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
My S6 is generally plugged in most of the time when I'm home just like a desktop PC is. I use the original Samsung Fast Charger with an Anker PowerLine MicroUSB cable plus disabled Fast Charging feature on my phone.

I experience no heat issues, no battery degradation and I've been using it this way since July 2015.

The exploding Note 7 though, kind of strange that the S6 is way safer.

Now again was blocked says "no sim card in phone". check it with * # 7465625 # and said network lock (off) and everything else (off) means that not locked. I also reviewed by sgs unlock and says "Your device is released." I check the IMEI * # 6 and is right ... but the phone does not renococe the sim card (the sim card works perfect with another phone)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbru:
Hello all. I have an Android tablet install in my Grand Cherokee. I'm using a PAC adapter and JoyCon EXR for steering wheel controls. Lately (as in the last week), I've been unable to change tracks, or pause and play. I suspected the PAC and JoyCon, but after further investigation, I found that the Media Utilities widget no longer allows control either. I am also unable to play/pause through a previously working Automagic profile (flow). What the heck could be going on here? It seems no 'external' control method for music works anymore. Everything works fine if you are in a specific app, like Slacker or Pandora for example. I'm at a loss. Thoughts?

Edit: I should add that I'm using a Galaxy Tab 4, running 4.4.4.
[Xperia Z3 General] Anothergeezer:
Hey guys so I had a REALLY hard time rooting my Sony Xperia Z3 phone without breaking BL and then installing Xposed was also a nightmare because the system wouldn't go writable. So I thought I'd document my experience for others below and what I did to over come after much google searching.

It begins: The flash

So flashing the phone was a nightmare and it will be for you to if you use Windows 8. I followed the guide here: http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056 to downgrade my kernel to a rootable version of Android KitKat. However I couldn't get the flash tool to see the phone. To overcome this I had to install the flash tool drivers (Which are in the flash tool folder) installing flash tool drivers and Sony Xperia Z3 drivers in the list. To over come this you will need to disable driver signature verification or the install will fail. Guide on doing that here: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

Once you've done that you can install the root in the original guide no problem. Installing Xposed Framework is another matter because you will probably find that you receive an error regarding unable to write to system or mount it as readable. To fix this some suggested downloading ES File Explorer and mounting the system there. This didn't work for me either because it just came up with an error after popping up SuperSU for permission. So to fix this I searched for "Mount system ro/rw" in the Google play store and it's very easy just one click on RW and you're done! go back to Xposed and you'll find that you'll be able to install the framework in system. Here is the one I downloaded: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blogspot.superthomaslab.mountsystemrorw&hl=en_GB

I thought I'd write this because all of this information seems scattered across the internet and hopefully it will help someone else and save them a day and a half of headache. Good Luck!
[Xperia Z3 General] illus4:
Thanks for the guide.

The RW permission may also be obtained by flashing RICDefeat.zip at https://github.com/dosomder/SonyRICDefeat by using recovery.
[Xperia Z3 General] Aoi_sora9x:
Seriously? You must not have flashed a lot of phones. Flashtool is a breeze compared to other ****s out there, it only gets a bit harder because of windows 8. Once the drivers are installed you are good to go.

HTC phones, on the other hand....
[Xperia Z3 General] funky0308:
I had Samsung and HTC for the last few months (and Z2/Z3 of course) and I can say one thing...

Sony is the most user friendly among all the others...

We have Flashtool and awesome devs that are working fantastic things for us...

For us, users that have Xperia devices for a long time, flashing ftf, setting recovery and rooting Xperia with a tools we have is a few minutes task...

Xposed is working without any problems also

Funky what did you do for working Xposed? I didnt tried it yet, i dont have Time to reinstall my Phone if its not working even tho i think i get it working but i rather wait until its stable or someone confirms it :D
[Xperia Z3 General] funky0308:
It's actually very stable and it's working without any problems on ARM7 cpu...

Luck has nothing to do with it....Rovio69 has :P

Simply install xposed framework shell and restart to recovery.

You have to flash xposed-arm-20150308.zip from recovery because you can't install framework from xposed like we used to do...

And that's it...

The only flaw is : when you restarting device you have to clear davlik cache - and that's really not that difficult..

Here's the link for two files you'll need (both are from Xposed thread and are Rovio69 property - not mine)

If you need any help, tag me and I'll come ;)

very well I knew that.. but for me when I clear cache every time I reboot the modules are active but not working.. for example "20 MP superior auto" ... I'm using xposed especially for this module.. I hope there is a way to make 20 mp in superior auto without xposed
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
You need to have proper setup, then 20MP Superior Auto works with exposed and you don't need to clear Dalvik and cache on reboot.

First you need working root, recovery and full rw system.

Second you need SELinux permanently set permissive, as it blocks 20MP Superior Auto module from working.

First and second you can achieve by installing Xzdualrecovery.

Third you need to remove lot of Sony crap from firmware. There are two threads by [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION] who made debloating zips that you can flash. Unfortunately we don't know yet which of this many removed apps causes bootloops.

So once again, Lollipop, root, Xzdualrecovery, SELinux permissive and massive debloating makes Xposed working.

[Xperia Z3 General] Thaodan:
That you need to wipe cache after Reboot.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
When? With Xposed? You need to run debloated ROM.
[Xperia Z3 General] Thaodan:
Yes with xposed, what you mean with debloatet, without bloat apps?
[Xperia Z3 General] TheTeslaCoil:
Better wipe dalvik cache.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Yes, there are minimally 4-5 threads on this topic. As Xposed for Lollipop is alpha, there are probably compatibility problems with some apps. Removing majority of Sony apps (like Lifelog, small apps&framework) and Google apps (Books, Movies etc.) makes it better, removing bootloops with some modules (20MP Superior Auto for example). However, we dont know exactly which app or apps are causing that problem. So majority of people remove just everything except essential services and some camera add-ons.
