[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I think it has more to do with them not actually using their phones. People skew the results just so it looks like their screen on time is fantastic, but in reality they've just had their phone sitting on a table with the screen on but not being used. Are you on Lollipop or KitKat?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slamdunksaliby:
Yeah I see what you're saying. I'm in stock CM12S with stock kernel. The governor is currently on interactive, would changing that increase onscreen time at all?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
The governor can play a part in increasing your battery performance, but only a little, interactive is probably a fairly good governor to stick with. You could try conservative but I wouldn't expect a massive difference. KitKat definitely got better battery life than Lollipop, I used to get about 6-7 hours SOT with fairly heavy use on KK, now on Lollipop I average about 5 hours.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slamdunksaliby:
Me too...I wonder what causes that 1-2 hour decrease even with the optimizations. Maybe the ART runtime vs the old dalvik on kitkat?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
The mobile radio awake issue I think
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slamdunksaliby:
Oh yeah good point. Does that battery drain occur only when mobile data is on or all the time?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
For me while on mobile data 3-4 hrs SOT, on Wifi is more like 5-6
[Moto X Q&A] rjcrystal199:
Hello, i have an XT1058 ATT moto x i got 4.4.3 when i bought the bootloader was unlockable i did it using sunshine now i am on cm 12.1 nightlies. is it possible to revert to 4.4.4 without installing bootloader and if i get the lollipop update will it lock my bootloader again and if it does then will i be able to use sunshine to unlock it again ??
[Moto X Q&A] md07:
all I know the Bootloader can not re unlock when you flash stock firmware or update OTA. So you dont need to relock BL after do anything ! Keep Bootloader Unlocked will help you custome your phone easier with root and more !
[Moto X Q&A] alenym:
A certain thread called "[LOLLIPOP WARNING]Those Who Unlocked Via Sunshine or Purchasing a Code from China" says the following:

There hasn't been any update on the thread since the 5.1 release for the Moto X, so if I were you I would wait... Sunshine has also a support line, so you could also send a ticket and directly ask if they can unlock your bootloader. I'm sure they have seen this case!
[Moto X Q&A] rjcrystal199:
you had an xt1058 right ? you updated to 5.1, did your bootloader get relocked ?
[Moto X Q&A] alenym:
It didn't, but I had a Rogers xt1058 that was BL unlocked directly by Motorola and not by Sunshine...

According to Motorola's website, at&t's Moto X cannot be BL unlocked officially, so that's probably why we cannot know what will happen if you update to 5.1.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] pjam:
With the experience the Charmer WM6 developers have already gained would it be possible to create base roms that we can play with ourselves along with a user guide?

I quite like the idea of being able to add my own packages within a ROM but don't know where to start.

I have seen on the Wizard forum a list of available packages that can be used within the various kitchens and assume that these would be compatible with the Charmer

Thanks

Omnirom is finally coming with official nightlies for Nexus 6. They can be found @ http://dl.omnirom.org/shamu/

İf anyone give this a try can you please update here if multiwindow works and if encryption enables. I will not have the time to test for now
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
Has omnirom enabled hwcrypto? If not, is there a simple way to make sure that crypto *does not* start? Or is it down to modifying the fstab as usual?

No multiwindow yet. Not 100% about encryption since I've always flashed a custom kernel right after, but I doubt it's enabled.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] byazid:
Hi Guys,

I recently purchased a HTC M8 from ebay thinking it would work perfectly with any GSM network . My phone is currently in android Kitkat and i want to update it to lollipop. I tried to update the firmware from phone's system update but failed as it is asking to try with CDMA network.

Can anyone suggest how can i update it to lollipop still staying in GSM network please?

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jdelfin85:
Let me tell you, simply put, DON'T! if you have followed the instructions on how to get 4g, or if you are out of the country (i.e. US) you will lose 4g, you will also lose the ability to s-off and root. My M8 was awesome before I did that... now even my girlfriend (who is not even remotely familiar with cell phones and has an iphone of all devices) is making fun of me.... Before you do it, ask yourself if you want to be that guy?

Lets compare Zenfone 2 and Vibe Z2 Pro

I dont know what to buy..

Zenfone2

+Support

+MicroSD Card

...

-Battery life?? (it will be better in the future? maybe with custom ROM?)

-Maybe 10.9 mm height

...

Vibez Z2 Pro

+Battery

+Construction, materials

...

-Support

-Too big screen

-No MicroSD Card

...

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trotter516:
Yeah. Don't take the b*tching of the few about sucky battery life as gospel. The reviews that I have read/watched dinged the battery but were comparing the phone to others with huge batteries or just whining that it didn't go for a week between charges. I go all day with mine with medium to heavy usage and still have juice left when I get home at night.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alose:
Battery life is pretty decent. My Nexus 5 was crap compared to my Zenfone 2. A day of light usage like today- check a few emails, receive a phone call, stream 15-20 minutes of music in the car, look up a couple of things on the web, and I had 83% left when I got home from work. Heavy usage will see me down to about 50-60%. The battery life has gotten a lot better with updates than when I first received my first Zenfone in March.

Anything from the s6 included? Mostly interested in the new theme engine.

No new theme engine. Typical Samsung-style move - artificially forcing previous models to look and feel old by not updating touchwiz on them.

[Galaxy S 5 General] nfs11:
Remember that Galaxy S2, born with Android 2.3.3, received the "Nature UX" namely TouchWiz 5.0 with same features of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on Galaxy S3. Maybe they think that the new Touchwiz is no such new than the "older" one on S5 KitKat nay on S5 Lollipop with white UI.

Huh?

But that was a whole year after the S3 was released. And even then they disabled little things like waterrings unlock etc ONLY to make a point that the S2 is not the S3.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
Hi there how are you? I have simple confusion? Should i jump from iPhone 6 to GS6?

History:

I am not a fanboy of any OS/Brand. I have used most Symbian Smartphones, never use to like iPhone because they could not do multitasking back then. Nokia passed away i jumped to Android, used as many as 20 android phones if not more, few older HTC, Galaxy S line, recently note 3 and galaxy s5.

Always thought Android is more capable OS and iOS is dumb OS until when i used iPhone 5 for the first time. Being Android user i didn't like limitations of iOS but after that simplicity, no lags, good UI, greatest keyboard made me confused. So i liked iOS a lot, but only problem was 4" screen, due to which i swapped phones number of times between galaxy and iPhone 5s few times.

Then iPhone 6 came with 4.7" and there was no looking back.

Now?

Galaxy s6 looks good and i am confused if i should try a change again, i need help from current users on following aspects.

Built quality of both phones are same, both are slim, i have to put soft silicon cover on it, so hardware does not matter to me.

Kindly tell me:

1- Does extra real estate of GS 6 matters in real world use? (iPhone is smaller bolder fonts, i feel it may carry more text in a given screen though)

2- Does extra pixel density have any advantage over iPhone already very very good screen. ( One battery disadvantage i know)

3- Exynos and 3GB ram is fine, but is Android/Touchwiz comparable to smoothness of iPhone 6 (Kindly only those who used iPhone tell me this)

4- When i was using galaxy s5, i was trying to imitate iPhones messaging App, Keyboard and other things on Galaxy, just looked neater to me and it use to have more text in it. Android apps use to look little messy to me, can be personal choice, but tell me if such common apps are less of a mess now?

5- Even i use to hate WhatsApp for android, i had to use Mods, thankfully they sort of changed it.

I know my post can be little bit crazy, but any input can be useful.

Thanks in Advance
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t-shock:
For me at least YOU MUST change the iphone 6 with a s6

You feel the screen of the s6 way WAY way better than iphone

Due to new touchwiz and 3gb ram, the firmware does not have any lag at least for me. S6 doesn't know the word LAG

The whole firmware is way better more CONCENTRATED

I don't use Whatsapp so I can't tell you anything about it.

Anyway, I hope I covered you

Well, you can see i have problem with changing phones often, i may not be the only one here, who likes phones and want to keep a good one, every one has different needs though, even though i really want to have a phone to use it for at least two years if not more, may be this iPhone 6 can last long, when i had iPhone 5/5s, it was too small, Note 3, it was too big, galaxy s5, how should i glorify that, Nexus 5 was best Android phone ever, while using that i never missed iPhone, it was smooth and i was happy, then it started dropping signals, i was forced to quit, anyways we are talking something else here.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sol_671:
I don't know why people complain about having touchwiz skin.. Without it there would be no fingerprint scanner software, dual window, gestures and etc. As for your question you might want to stick to iOS, if you are perfectly fine with how it operates. I'm a fan of both Android and iOS, and used both for many years. A part of me regrets not getting the iPhone because I know any software issues would get patched within weeks not months. Accessory support, and software support, you'll be getting software updates till your phone can't handle it, and finally battery life of standby which is still unrivaled IMO. But I part of me would've also regretted getting an iPhone since that phone has so many limitations like as simple as sharing files, its limited. Files you've downloaded would be tied to that app. Can't even delete pictures on the go when it came from your PC/Mac. Also the lack of features you get compared with Android. All in all in the end it comes down to user preferences.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
Hey there how are you? Well touchwiz? It's cartoonish. Colours hurt eyes. It has big uneven style icons. Non symmetrical objects. Different apps are different. Even messaging app has such huge bubbles like doremo cartoons. You can say we can change them. But how much change. How much refinement. Refining rooting modifying everything our self? Then what Samsung and company is doing? Finger prints? Samsung can implement them without touchwiz by small driver app. Dual window can also be implemented without touchwiz even though I yet to use it once on my last Galaxy phones.

You talk about file sharing? In my daily life I don't find occasions when I have to share file. So just for file sharing. I can't give up other ease and smoothness.

So just file sharing can't convince me to switch over. Kindly tell if touchwiz is as smooth and lag free as iOS. Then sharing a file or song easily must be good too.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
About lack of features? There must be few features which iOS may have over android. Like that of unified settings, back ground data activity can be controlled and few others too.

So if Galaxy this time around is smooth enough. I must give a try too. Not because of file sharing snd some

Other things. I feel.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
Android OS still got lots more function and mods but the problem is that mostly likely you will need root to enjoy it so no more warranty. One of the app I love is tasker but many features need root to enable. The camera on S6 is far better than Iphone6 though IP6 is already very great.

iOS the OS isn't great but the app store is, they still owned the most high quality apps there.

So it really depends either you need a OS more, or you need more apps. The best is to get both Android and iOS if you have money. Personally, I'm only a light user so I don't need many apps but I need tasker and camera more so Android is the only choice to me.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sol_671:
There's your answer. You obviously like iOS more so just stay. No one is convincing you to switch. We simply gave our opinions on why we chose a certain phone. I came from an iphone before this, I was Android before the iphone. Every 1 to 2 years I switch between Android and iOS.You say Samsung could implement an app or drivers for features, but look at it this way, every corner of the galaxy s6 has its own features, from notification bar to your dialer app. Might as well make it a skin and hide it within the system otherwise you'll be seeing more than 100 apps trying to run these features.

Unified System Settings( all in one place) vs Unified Storage( any app has access and able to use whatever you downloaded or put to you memory) I chose the latter, I mean how often do I find myself in system settings daily? The theme engine does change a lot of the look unfortunately not much themes at the moment... If you want to actually see some of the features the galaxy s6 offers here's a video...since you already know what iOS has. BTW, I'm not trying to make you switch its really up to if you care for what Android offers. I'll be back in iOS for the iPhone 7.

I couldn't have said it better than this person.

I love both android and IOS and used both a LOT, he summed it up very well.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
Well. You must be right about camera. But you may have noticed. I never mentioned camera in my post. as I don't use camera much. iOS well I can't say if it's great if not. But my main concern was even apps like espn cric info and Twitter and even Facebook are far more smooth on iOS than on android. That's what I feel. You people can feel otherwise.

Plus I want to know about features which iPhone lacks and which matters. Features like dual windows is not useful for me. File sharing is one useful feature but since I don't find much occasions so I can live without it. But it is useful feature nevertheless. What are features are like this?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowjinyik:
I switched from the iPhone 6 to the S6.

Do I miss my iPhone sometimes? Kinda

Did I make the right decision? For me it's a yes.

Really depends on your use case. The iPhone is a great phone. It just works without any hiccup. The S6 feels like a pocket computer, it does everything the iPhone does and more but it's less elegant and sometimes doesn't do it as well.

One of the reason I switched to the S6 is that I can't stand having to encode videos before I put them on the phone. I watch lots of videos so on android I just drag and drop, takes less than 5 minutes. However, on the iPhone it takes several hours to encode and I still have to use iTunes to transfer.

Also the camera. It's better than the one on the iPhone.

So...

1. If real estate is all you care about, yes. But I care about one handed usability as well and the smaller iPhone screen is the one I prefer.

2. Yes. The S6 screen is sharper. Not significantly sharper, but noticeably sharper. Colour accuracy is much better on the iPhone tho, not a fan of the S6's saturated display. The Amoled screen is much better at power saving compared to LCD since black pixels switch off. I use acdisplay on my S6 which is like a Moto Display rip off, this would suck lots of juice on an LCD but not amoled. Also, since the black pixels are literally off, contrast is simply stunning. Especially in the dark.

3. Short answer, almost. For my case I would say it is just as fast as my iPhone. But, if you're a lazy user and don't bother to remove the crap in your phone, the iPhone will be a smoother device in the long run. If you take care of your device I would say an android phone ages better. (My G2 is a testament to that)

5. Whatsapp for android received an overhaul and the ui imo is much better.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pahardie:
Controversial as it maybe but if you like ios and apple hardware I'd not switch to the s6 - yes the screen is great, the build is nice and the camera is excellent. But nothing is worth switching platform for in my opinion.

I came from a nexus device and miss that too, I like my s6 I don't love it - and that's purely down to the software experience.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
You are not making me switch, we are talking here to share our point of view only, thanks for the video, i will see it, we all know every phone and OS has give and take, its only what you want to give up and what you want to take, and hopefully soon we can have best of both worlds. Themes are essential in Android and i don't being open and costamizable OS why themes were only for root and mod people, So now S6 have it, its good. You may agree with me Android demands lots of mods and stuff, and the first reason i switched to iPhone and refuse to even try jailbreak because i was feeling little tired of it. At the end it comes down to what a person feel better with.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
Yeah i feel same, iOS keyboard is amazingly accurate if you have to write normal accurate english. I always miss that in iPhone, even swiftkey i feel is little short in comparison.
