[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cacaman123:
I looked into the snapdragon 820 vs 810 and I read it is about 40% faster and more power efficient. Also I'm seeing that the 810 has overheating problems at high usage. I'm not sure if this is enough reason to not buy the Force. Do any of you all suffer from overheating?

I really did want this device, but now I'm debating on just waiting for the next gen.... Which will be nothing under 6-7 months. Even then, there's no guarantee there will be an international version that'll support AT&T.

Any advice?
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
S7 most probably will be more expensive and so damn fragile. Especially edge. Just to remind you, S7 has 820 or Exynos 8890, depends of region and for LTE three or more variant.

I had overheating problem with Turbo 2. For example recording 4k, using VR or playing games. No such problems with Force (recorded a lot of 4k videos), even before MM update. After is even cooler.

You're in classical never ending waiting phase for newer, better device. Just buy what currently suits you the best and do not wait forever.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cacaman123:
So you had better luck with the force than the Droid turbo 2? I thought it was the exact same phone minus the bloat ware? Also didn't know you can use VR with it, so cool.

I'll probably just order it lol.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
Should be the same device but somehow Turbo 2 heated more. You can find my comments about that somewhere here. I almost gave up of buying Force. For me shatterproof display was initial sales point, then of course, powerful SoC, 3GB, sd card (very important for me), clean Android, design, high res amoled...

For VR I have View-Master. It's cool for playing with, everyone who tried was impressed. Honestly I'm not using it much. I'm staring in displays enough anyway to have another one on my head later :D Samsung has it's own solution for VR but I've never tried. HTC has it as well. Obviously humanity is heading to something like Matrix or Surrogates.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Keith:
If you can hang in there wait for the new motos this summer/fall. Otherwise the force has the best battery life out there as far as I know.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
Best battery life? Not even close... That is simply a false statement. My Turbo 2 does OK, but my note 5 and my S6 Active both get longer battery life.

Heck my Turbo 1 got longer battery life than my Turbo 2.

Again, I find the Turbo 2 battery life acceptable... But let's keep it real - it definitely isn't the longest, or even close to longest.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
He's talking about Force, not Turbo 2 ;)

I had both and indeed Force has longer battery life.

Sent from my XT1580
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cacaman123:
I probably can, the problem is I'm not sure they will release another international version that supports all of the AT&T bands like the force. I don't suppose there's any way of telling is there?
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shah1989:
I've been using the X force for several months now and I have to say it is a beast of a phone compared to the s6 edge I was using prior. I left for work this morning with a 70% charge and finished the night with still around 30% charge. There is no lag... Phone runs smoother than anything I've seen before and no Samsung bloatware! Have got greenify installed to be sure apps do not run in background which seems to really help. I honestly don't think I'll be changing this phone due to the battery life and the immense power the chip creates. Snapdragon 810 does get alot of stick but I have had no issues other than a slight warming up under heavy gameplay.

---------- Post added at 04:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 AM ----------

Jason I believe the Moto x force has less bloatware running in the back than the turbo 2. No way can s6 last longer than x force
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
The S6 active has a larger battery than the regular s6 (active=3500mah), so lasts a lot longer than the regular S6.

I've debloated my Turbo 2 to the point they're isn't much bloat running of any kind. So I don't think it is significantly worst than the X Force. Even then my note 5 with only a 3020mah battery kills the turbo 2 in terms of screen on time (the only number I give a crap about since I charge nightly) every time.

Again, I like the turbo 2, and still own one. Just sharing my experiences.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] well0549:
This is what bloatware does. I have a force too and battery lasts minimum of 1.5 day.

So even a faster processor with better battery life will bog down when stuffed with bloatware.

That is why a clean android is the key selling point of this phone.

For 700 euro I could have bought ANY phone, but a real clean android is one of THE selling points for this phone.

Battery life is great and response is always snappy as can be
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shah1989:
Couldn't agree with you more zeljko. Really clean android phone, with 1 hell of a battery life. Using the charger shortly after almost 48hrs use :cool:
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayman94fly:
If you don't mind me asking, how much screen on time do you get with your note 5?
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
Try to not debloat. Some processes may stay active, trying to access disabled apps causing a lot of wake ups and of course draining battery. Check with better battery stats or similar how often phone is awake and which process is waking it up. If you really wish to see all active processes type ps in terminal. You'll be surprised ;)

From my experience (with Droid HD by Verizon) disabling bloat doesn't really help.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
I get 5-5.5 on the note and 4.5 on the Turbo 2. Which really isn't bad at all.

And I will say that the Turbo 2 is MUCH more rugged/durable.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivencap:
I'm making the jump this weekend. I'm done not having an micro SD card slot. Yes, I have otg dual flash drive. But it's still a pain. I'm not big on the finger print scanner. So, that won't be a miss. Also, the Samsung Note 5 doesn't have an ir blaster. Again, won't be a deal breaker. Plus, I've had so much trouble for the 1st time running my 3rd party launcher, Nova Prime. I feel with Turbo 2 having a basic stripped down android os, that Nova Prime will run smoother. No touchwiz, so much samsung and other bloatware. I'm a customized geek. Like changing it up. This seems like a flexible phone to do that with. ?

Only thing I'll miss, the one and only sPen. Lol.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:

AT&T for me. I think I'm gonna look for a used one on craigslist, only if its the X-Force of course :p

I can get a custom built 64GB one shipped to me from Mexico, but at around $700-800 :crying::crying:

I don't know what the summer/fall is gonna have to offer, I think I should just pull the trigger on this model :p
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
For me the answer is simple. If I can't at the very least root the phone, then it's no good. Unlocked bootloader is even better. Some devices can be rooted without unlocking the bootloader.

The way I see it, this leaves the choices slim, moto x pure (2015, 2016, etc), or any nexus device. Some other players like oneplus one, but those are all gsm only phones.

I swore I'd never buy another htc or samsung device. Some people won't consider anything but a samsung or htc. Funny how all that works.

It boils down to what's important to you. I consider carrier independence a key feature and root paramount to everything else.

Hi All

I am having a little trouble transferring my contacts from an HTC One X to a Motorola Google Nexus with Marshmellow

I may have to go to third party ROM

But for now there must be an easier way

I backed up my HTC One with HTC Sync Manager so my contact info is probably there somewhere

My HTC One X can backup files to storage/sdcard/xxxxx.vcf (I don't have an SD card)

So far that's all I know

In the dark for now

Thanks

I don't want google controlling my contacts because If I disconnect from google all my contacts disappear

Then copy the file from your old phone to your new one. Then just import the files.

I cant say for sure that the stock android dialer will be bale to read it as I have not used that format in a long time.

in "always on" whatsapp, gmail.... and the rest app do not show notification.

is not possible to get it? because if is only for sms and missing calls.... is really poor to keep it and loose battery life

Calls and texts only from my understanding.

If all it shows is calls and SMS then that is a big mistake from Samsung. I'll definitely be turning that off at least until an Xposed module or root application allows changes to it. Of course, we need root first.....

For me, Calls and Texts are enough, but it's work only with build-in app by samsung, so if you use Textra SMS or another app, it's doesn't work....:(

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mcwoods:
I think its a gimmick... I mean 20% battery life for that... I want a comparison of what it takes to turn it on and check time, sms, or missed call on average. I doubt its 20%. I plan on disabling that as soon as I turn it on.

I use my gear 2 for notifications anyway so I rarely turn the phone on unless using it to take a call, text, or add calendar event during the day.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] clockedtouch:
Take a second to look at it from a standpoint of NOT everyone having a Gear S2 to do the checks. The repeated full screen turn on accessing proximity sensors, fingerprint reader and any other cores that wake up when the button is pressed..... to each their own. Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tiskewlio:
Yep the verizon rep I spoke with also said the battery drain isn't notable but we would have to do more testing in order to really see what happens with battery drain and always on display. Hopefully the drain isn't that significant but if it is I will find a way to disable it. Not worth the sacrifice in battery life imo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
I agree. I had assumed it included all notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mcwoods:
I am not in disagreement with you. However I feel like that is what the led notifications are for. I highly doubt the always on will show you who the text is from or the message. I am assuming it will simply show a picture of a text message to notify you of a missed text and same for call. So the question is then is it really worth 20% battery for that when all you really have to do is look at the lights.

Also even if you don't have a smart watch get a watch to check time. Lots faster then pulling phone from pocket or holster and turning it on and then off and putting back.... Just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] PDXMatt:
Except it won't be using battery while charging.

This will make that one percentage an hour loss a non issue. With this settings, Always On will be off until you take it out of your pocket or bag.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
No, that is a really crap feature. This is really always on, does not require you to wave or do something to your phone in order to see it.

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

Wow, I really didn't expect the Always-On to not show all notifications. This is quite stupid on Samsung's part. If it wasn't for the notification LED, I would have to return the phone because for me notification features are among the most important things that I need from it.

Does Samsung have its own email app preloaded on the S7/Edge ? Maybe that works with the Always-On too ? Can anyone try this ?

Also I wonder if LG G5 does in fact show all notifications ? From the pictures I saw, it does look to display many types of notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Semantics:
I turned it off. Was losing about 1% an hour, and the LED works so if I have a notification I just unlock the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] xxaarraa:
Yes Samsung's email app shows up in always on notification.

Give it time. I'm sure there will be third party apps that provide richer notification in always on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
This is great news, thanks. I think I will just have to setup my Gmail accounts using both the Gmail app and Samsung's email app and use the Samsung app just for notifications, Gmail for real work :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] geoff5093:
I hope you mean Samsung's implementation is crap... Because Moto's is exceptional. You don't have to wave in front of your phone, the display will come on when a notification comes through (then turns off), if you pick up the phone, or get close to it so the proximity sensor knows you are nearby. Plus, it shows you notifications for everything, and you can interact with them to go right to that app after it unlocks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] anshkhanna:
This sucks... My LG V10 second screen shows notifications for whatsapp and all too. Probably lg g5 always on will do the same...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
There is no value in the fact that the screen (always-on or the regular screen) comes on with a notification. Any Android phone and any iPhone can do this, and, without a notification LED at least, people still check their phones 150 times a day to see if they had any notifications.

The purpose of this feature is to not miss any notification. With Motorola, you don't know if you missed a notification unless you wave your hand over it or move it or whatever. If your phone is like 1 meter away from you on a table, your only option to see if you have any notifications is to throw your cat over the phone and maybe (just maybe) the sensor will pick up and the "active display" screen will come on :) Utterly useless. A notification LED is 10 times more useful because you can see it from any distance. The only option better than a notification LED is a truly always-on display
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] geoff5093:
False, the moto display will "breath", fading on and off to show if you have a notification. With a LED all you see is a color, with this you can see what notification and what it consists of without touching your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
So should I stare at the phone for like 1 minute, until I see a "breath" ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] squallz506:
Moto display is great for meetings or class when you have your phone face up on the table. You get a notification and it displays the content so you can decide whether or not it's worth it to pick up the phone and you can reply or dismiss with a single swipe. Samsungs always on shows notifications from 2 apps lol, and the notification light will tell you nothing about the content. I plan on turning always on off as soon as I get the s7e. A notification light is a step back from moto display by I'll live.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] geoff5093:
No, you would see either the notification led or see it breathing in the corner, you go to look st it and as you get close the display lights up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] greyhulk:
Apparently, you've never used a Moto X. You really should before you knock the feature. I was skeptical when it first came out, but I find it 100X better than any notification light and you can trigger it by waving your hand over the phone or even just reaching for it.

On my Moto X, I basically never have to use the power button and I always know about notifications as soon as they come in. It is THE benchmark for a notification system, in my opinion, much better than Google's Ambient display mode.
