[Galaxy Note5 General] nique0201:
Google should start giving the OEMs the beta builds a few months before they announce them. So that they can do their testing and have it sorta coincide with the nexus release even if they follow a few weeks later. But the months are ridiculous
[Galaxy Note5 General] HNIC215:
I feel like they need to cut the carriers out of this process. Apple doesn't include them, so why should Google/Samsung/Any other OEM?

One of the things people will say is without the carriers android phones won't sell but I disagree.

These carriers don't want Apple to have all the power, Apple already made a major play against carriers by releasing their own Apple Upgrade Program. Which will definitely be very popular and reduce people using carrier financing plans.

So while I think at first the carriers might play hardball to get their wishes, in the end, Google and Android OEM's will come out victorious.

Even if this happened, there is still an extra step in the process with Android because Google would first have to update their OS and then pass it on to each OEM so that they can update their own respective interface and UI elements (TouchWiz, HTC Sense, etc...)

That's still better than the current system: Google -> OEM -> Carrier -> Consumers

With these changes, it would make it: Google -> OEM -> Consumers

Which is still one more step than Apple's process: Apple -> Consumers

Google could help that by pushing it to the OEM's more quickly or including them early on in the update process.

Something!

I switch phones often between iOS, Android, (even Windows Phone - Although this has stopped due to lack of hardware to play with).

Each platform has their pros and cons but getting updates quickly is one of the best things I love about iOS.

If this was fixed, I think it would level the playing field by a huge margin. Most other gripes would be software related and could be fixed easily through updates or hardware related which wouldn't be that big of an issue due to all the variety among Android OEM's.

Why does Apple get all that power? No one else? Not Windows Phone or Android? It's not fair and both Microsoft and Google need to step it up!

Exactly! You typed this as I was typing my long rant, lol.
[Galaxy Note5 General] fchowd0696:
Carriers are what ruin timely Android device updates. What excuse does AT&T have still having 5.0.1 for their S6? Seriously, I want to actually have a conversation with an AT&T software engineer and ask why their heads are up their asses?

The fact that the Galaxy S6, one of AT&T's flagship devices is still on 5.0.1 makes me wonder if we will see 6.0 on the Note 5 any time in the next couple of years.
[Galaxy Note5 General] HNIC215:
Our happiness/satisfaction is not a priority for them.

They just want our money... Smh
[Galaxy Note5 General] oldblue910:
If by "our happiness," you mean geeks like us who read tech sites, then you'd be absolutely correct. No company is ever going to care what we think because we're an abysmally small segment of the market. Of all the people who buy Android phones in the world, very few actually care about that version number that shows up in Settings | About Phone.

Further, we also tend to be among the cheapest people around. Whenever people start complaining about a phone being overpriced, those comments come from tech geeks more often than not.

Money talks and BS walks. If you want OEMs and carriers to take software updates more seriously, get non-techies to care. Good luck with that.

[Galaxy Note5 General] HNIC215:
I agree and disagree with some of the points you made...

I agree that our passion for technology and gadgets puts us in a niche category in comparison to the rest of Samsung/Apple/Any OEM's customer base as a whole.

When I said "our happiness" I meant consumers in general. I think everyone, whether they know or not, if shown facts and asked would say they want continued support for a product they spent money for. Whether it was $200 or $950.

There's really no indicator to say how many people understand software versions etc... Most I would assume and generally agree, like you said, don't know and don't care. I have been fortunate enough to travel, live and work abroad for many years in different parts of the world. One thing I noticed, is people all over the world are similar in some ways and different in others. Especially in regards to technology. However, it's a hard statistic to prove or show.

Not knowing something doesn't factor in my comment though.

Ignoring ignorance in it's simplest form, my point was if you know all the facts. Then you see how Apple is able to update their phones directly to their consumers without any carrier influence ,interference or delay. Then Google/Microsoft and other should be able to do the same.

I think when you hear compliments about Apple, it's not only physical about the hardware/software (which Android and OEM's compete pretty evenly now).

It's mainly about their customer service. That goes a long way with brand perception. That's why they have it and others don't. Their continued support for older models and current models is stellar!

You also say we (as in techies) "... tend to be the cheapest people around". I don't think so, I know, myself personally, I go through several premium phones a year. Money has never factored into it. I just want the best of the best. I know many techies who feel like me. I think T-Mobile created Jump-On-Demand for people like us. I would think the opposite would be true and a non-techie would care more about price rather than quality or specs.

Lastly, you say "If you want OEMs and carriers to take software updates more seriously, get non-techies to care. Good luck with that."

I think if OEM's want to compete with Apple they have to get non-techies to care about them. Not the opposite. I have no brand loyalty, I will use anything from any OEM, so long as their product and service is superior.

Just my two cents... :D

I have a feeling marshmallow might come sooner than previously (notice I didn't say soon) the fact that Google officially support finger print might mean that marshmallow note 5 maybe better and more accurate

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickcaper:
What's the audio bitrate that this phone records in? Is it stereo or mono?

To find this info record a quick 5 second video and save it to your computer. look at the properties of the video and let me know what the but rate is. higher is better. stero is better.

thanks

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motofanz:
two on the back - one in the middle near the bottom, one top back on the right, and the two front are in the speaker grilles.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibol18:
There's only 1 mic hole on the back of the moto x pure. Unless the back removal hole is also a mic?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickcaper:
Im just trying to figure out if any of these Moto X phones record in stereo and what the bitrate is. I wont even bother buying ANY type of phone that records in mono. Why would anyone want mono sound, especially when all these devices have a HD camera? Kinda stupid to invest in a product that can record 1080 P and 1960's sound.

I look at the small details. The Xperia Z1s I have records in stereo. Its bitrate is 176kb which is acceptable.

Allot of these phones have holes in the back and front but they arent for recording sound, they are noise suppression mics to lower noise when talking to someone on the phone. The only way to know what the bitrate is of a device is to make a simple quick video recording. Use a program like mediainfo

I've been looking on their site and you can't email them to ask. All the WM6 ROMS floating around look good but I'd be more comfortable if I could get one directly from HTC for my my country. I'm new to Flashing and CID unlocking and all that but I wouldn't mind if I could get it from HTC's web site. Any info on a release or is there one out that I've missed?

Sorry if I've asked a question that's already been answered but I've been searching this forum for a month now and I'm a little confused about all the different versions of ROMS.

BTW, I'm about to buy an HTC P3300 in the US to use on T-Mobile USA and, of course, it has WM5. All I want to do is upgrade to WM6 and run TomTom from the memory card instead of main memory and I don't want to loose any of the original programs. (I've already read about how to move TomTom)

When I connect my phone in any manner (USB, Bluetooth, audio cable) and with any app (Play Music, iHeart, basically all music apps on my phone), I only get sound from the front two speakers. I'm inclined to believe it's a setting in my phone and not something with my stereo. Is there a setting or app which will allow my phone to play through all of my speakers?
