[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] Metfanant:
The one and only Galaxy device I owned was the GS3...by the end of the first year I couldn't wait to get rid of it...

That was many moons ago, so it's pretty irrelevant now...but I would never go back
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] mobrules777:
I cannot speak from personal experience but a family member bought the Z Force and battery mod after seeing mine over the weekend. He's older and not very tech savvy. But he really likes the moto software and a cleaner android setup.

Well put it this way. When he bought an s4 I would get calls every other day. Now he's had it since Saturday. I helped him set it up. But haven't had a call asking for help in 3 days.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] xxspark89xx:
After being a long supporter of Motorola, especially the Droid lineup going back to the OG Droid, I decided to try the Galaxy S7 Edge. (My previous phone was a Droid Turbo, which I loved)

I can say, the S7E is a beautiful device - however, I bought the Moto Z Force when it was released and haven't gone back to the S7E, and I have no regrets!

A few things that I didn't like about the Samsung device:

1.) Heavily modded software; it's a nice interface, however it is slightly noticeable a resource hog when compared to Motorola's Vanilla-style software.

2.) Hardware design impacts stability; I can say this only about the Galaxy S7 Edge - the decision to go with a glass front AND back may look awesome, but glass is an insulator, which impacts heat dissipation; Countless times the phone overheated and began force-closing apps - so annoying! Especially when trying to simply play a game.

Note: the above occurred as stock - so then I decided to root the device, removed the bloat, optimize the CPU, greenify, etc. This helped reduce the amount of resources used, however overheating still occurred.

3.) Comparing both phones (completely stock), the Moto Z Force has roughly 2GB of available memory, whereas the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge had roughly little over 1GB free; Just an example of how much TouchWiz uses resources.

4.) Battery life on the Moto Z Force is bar-none! With no mods attached, I can last almost a full day with average use. Add on the power-pack mod and by the end of the day, the power-pack is drained and my phone is above half-full.

Bottom-line: The Moto Z Force has -

- No overheating issues;

- Solid build quality;

- Fast and fluid interface;

- Stellar battery life with easily expandability;

Despite having a locked bootloader and no root yet, I was still able to disable all of the bloat. (which there wasn't much to begin with) I'm hopeful we'll see at least root, so I can install xposed and viper4android.

I hope this helps!
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] micmatt:
The gs4 was the last good Samsung I had. The gs6 was a headache the whole time I had it, one issue after another. Until it completely crapped out only after 10 months of owning it. Flash ram died on it. So far this phone has been great
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] HotShotAzn:
I came from a Note 4. Overall, I appreciate the speed of the Z Force. Phone seems less buggy as well but that Note 4 was on LP still.

I've posted this before but I hate the huge chin at the bottom of the phone compared to the Samsung lines. I miss capacitive buttons. That's probably the big thing.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] jamtre:
I left Samsung over a year ago when my S4 died. I liked that phone, at the time, and if the (then flagship) S6 had an SD card slot I might have just gotten one, but that was a dealbreaker. I wasn't willing to get a last-generation S5 just so I could have a slot, so I ended up with an LG G4 instead.

I was generally happy with the (rooted) G4, though the hardware got flaky over time, and there were some annoying things like touchscreen sensitivity issues. I got rid of it after barely a year because it died under warranty, and then 2 warranty replacements I got from Verizon both had serious issues. When finally ditching it, my requirements were basically that it have a 5.5" screen, which I loved from the G4, and an SD slot. I would have liked a swappable battery too, but no such phone exists any more that I know of (5.5", swappable battery, sd). So gave up on that. I looked at:

LG G5 - 5" screen

S7 - 5" screen

S7 edge - don't like the design of the wrap around screens

Everything else either looked like junk, or was too small or too big (like "note" devices).

So basically the Droid Z Force was the only phone meeting all those criteria. (And the non-force version, of course). I waited a month for it to be released.

I absolutely love the phone so far. It's remarkably faster than the LG G4. Obviously it has a faster CPU, but I think the near stock OS makes a difference too. Hardly any junkware is a huge plus. Everything is unbelievably responsive, the digitizer and screen are fantastic. You can even see with polarized sunglasses on in both orientations (though there is some rainbow effect looking at in vertically). The fingerprint reader works amazingly well. I could never go back to a phone without one after just a week with the Moto.

Physically, the build quality seems extremely good. The S4 (and the G4) both always felt a bit cheap. It's slightly heavier than the G4 but not in a bad way, it feels "substantial" where the G4 felt "one drop away from being pulverized".

I do miss being rooted a little, but there's nothing that's a dealbreaker because I'm no longer rooted. I wish I could switch the "back" and "recent apps" buttons so I didn't have to reach my thumb like jimi hendrix playing guitar just to go "back" while holding it one-handed, but I've already adapted to that. I don't feel like I need greenify any more since Android M, there's really nothing I miss (other than tinkering) about not being rooted any more except that back-button layout thing.
[Verizon LG G4] WAIDroid:
I upgraded to MM 26A and the memory usage is insane. 2.8GB used and only 508MB Free. I'm sick of this. I don't even game!I listen to music, watch YouTube and check my forums via Opera Browser so what's going on...
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Apps keeps running in the backgroud, so in case you re-open them they don't have to be reloaded. In case RAM is needed, Android selects some apps to kick out at that point in time and closes them. So your RAM will almost always be about 80% used to reduce having to reload apps (which is also done to conserve battery, since reloading apps also costs energy).
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Djvvb:
Somebody know any way to root this model???

I need to use this phone with another carrier, but to change the network mode I need root permisions.

I tryed kingroot, kingoroot, towelroot and others but does not work.

Thanks in advance.

[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] srgolub:
I'm coming from a Nexus 6 which always worked well with the Android Auto in my 2016 Accord. I just tried connecting the Z Force and keep getting a USB error on the in-dash display. I've tried everything - unpairing, clearing cache & data from Android Auto app, restarted phone, car, etc. - still getting the same error. The USB-C cable I'm using is fine. Anyone having similar issues or any suggestions on how to fix? Can't keep the phone if it won't work with AA. Thanks.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] xxspark89xx:
Have you tried a complete factory reset? This tends to solve many issues with android devices. Just a thought!

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...us-phones-sailfish-and-marlin-will-look-like/

A few articles have been written about the rumored new Nexus phone. If this is how it looks, it looks horrible. The front facing speakers appears to be gone and it looks very iPhone-esq.......similar to HTC's A10.

If it is accurate, it looks pretty bad compared to Motorola's 6.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
The economic position of HTC will be worse.
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
It's all still leaks and rumors at this point but if things play out the way the leaks are leaning, I'll still be hanging on to my Nexus 6. With the larger screen and running Android Nougat at a more than acceptable performance level I just can't find anything that compels me to upgrade.
[Nexus 6  General] Hannes084:
Even though that's just a rumour and not confirmed, I gotta say HTC really hasn't changed much in a decade. My HTC Sensation looks pretty similar to that, and it's ancient. No, I don't use it anymore, it's a backup phone in case my other device breaks. lol. In other words; not liking it and won't be getting one.
[Nexus 6  General] aroy97:
My contract ends around the same time as the new line of Nexus' come around. If HTC fails to wow me, it seems as though I might be going for the galaxy note 7 or s7 edge. Not a big fan of restricted Samsung, otherwise I'd use the OnePlus 3, but alas it doesn't support CDMA
[Nexus 6  General] andy0208:
The bigger Nexus 6 variant will probably look slightly different from the smaller though.
[Nexus 6  General] MrSplaat:
I kinda like the new look, but don't like that they're ditching the stereo speakers. I think I'll hold on to the N6 until it dies on me.
[Nexus 6  General] Arju:
Those are just renders. Hopefully they won't ditch the stereo speakers. Either way I'll be sticking to the nexus 6 for a while and wait for reviews instead of purchasing it right away. Judging from the renders, I don't like the look but it might grow on me eventually, kinda like the camera bump on the nexus 6p. I'm actually more excited about custom Roms on Nougat that the new devices. My phone contract finished March next year and even then if the new devices does not seem to fit me I probably would have to wait. The nexus 6 is a fully capable phone for this day and age and will continue to be for a long time thanks to the xda community. The whale will definitely be a legendary phone in my book.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
That's wise. I would prefer a phone with a new display like

http://www.slashgear.com/jdi-full-active-lcd-panel-has-nearly-no-bezels-10451334/
[Nexus 6  General] Prozart:
I've been watching the leaks and rumors and yeah I'm not too excited. I'll probably be sticking with the 6. For me 6" is the perfect size and I love the stereo speakers and wireless charging. And it's plenty fast enough so I don't see any compelling reason to "upgrade" at this point.
[Nexus 6  General] Dusty Rhodes:
I'd be more compelled to pick up a 6P which will have a reduced price when the Nexus 2016 comes out.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
Well I suppose once it comes out the 6p will be cheaper so if the HTC isn't great there will be a cheaper option. I'm guessing they will price it around $500 which has been pretty typical for the Nexus pricing.

HTC has been struggling since they had their last real hit the M8

The rumor design though with no front facing speakers looks awful but would be consistent with HTC lol
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
Will there ever be a 6" Nexus in the future?
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
i love the nexus 6 except for the weight of it. the shape was great but right now id prefer something flat.

the only reason why im interested in the new nexus is because of daydream. other than that the nexus' killer features are the screen - 6" qhd amoled - pretty much unique, stereo speakers and qi charging.

will the new nexus have any 2 out of the 3 of these? i sure hope so!
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
This may be something to wait for....

http://www.slashgear.com/jdi-full-active-lcd-panel-has-nearly-no-bezels-10451334/
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
what is daydream? doesn't the nexus 6 already have that? I've never seen it do anything
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
Not certain those HTC really appeal to me. Depends on what phones Verizon has in September, or is announced for it.
[Nexus 6  General] electricpete1:
Daydream has two meanings

1 screensaver while charging

2 compatibility with new vr standards

Since our nexus 6 already has #1, I'm guessing he means #2
[Nexus 6  General] buzzwyzr:
I don't like these renders either. But I remember the dislike for the 6P when renders and test units started showing up. Most hated the design because of the "LaForge" visor. But once we got the real deal it looked much better than anticipated.

Hopefully that's gonna be the case here.

Bezels :eek:
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
I was just looking at cricket. Their plans are not too bad. What plan do you have? The 70 a month unlimited everything is pretty competitive. Sounds like the one plus 3 is working out.

If I were in the position I'd get a one plus 3 over the nexus 6p just to try something different. I will admit these speakers on the nexus 6 are incredible.... Esp with viper audio
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
That's incredible for the pricing............ It is not even a remotely modest increase. Even if I wait until next year my nexus 6 is in good shape and will last until the next model. I can't fathom spending the money on a phone that looks visually bad. Also while I'm sure the Google assistant is good I don't see myself personally using it often to justify the price.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I've Assistant working on the N6. When I ask to search cheap Google phones I get this answer

'I heard something, but I don't know what it is'

[emoji1]
[Nexus 6  General] sbann:
I have the $40 plan. While traveling I've upgraded it a couple times temporarily. Cricket prorates the cost and the usage meter is reset.

Yeah, the Oneplus is a good phone. It may have just one speaker but it's loud enough I don't think missed calls will be a problem like the Nexus 5. The N6's speakers are incredible. I understand the 6P's are really good too. It's unfortunate the Pixel gave up that feature.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
Ugliest thing I have ever seen. HTC is probably recycling parts from their A9.

[Nexus 6  General] SynisterWolf:
That crop job on the main photo makes me think they used MS Paint. I wish they would make a 6" again like shamu. I've grown to like this size and would like for it to continue.
[Nexus 6  General] droidstyle:
I agree...might have to look at the Zen Ultra if it makes its way to the US.
[Nexus 6  General] Outatime67:
I don't know. I like my 6" screen. Anything smaller would seem like a step backwards. And oh those awful edges!
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
I wait till i can have a look at the finished phone when it comes out. Need a smaller phone, got some problems with my hands and holding the N6 is starting to get a bit painfull. So it will need to find a new home soon.
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
Those bezels doe. Ugly af
[Nexus 6  General] shadowcore:
Meh, i hoped for a good looking Nexus 6 2016 but this...

I guess im sticking with my old Nexus 6 till death.

At this point im going to name my phone. Its turning into a sad, romantic tearful story.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
The codename should be "Apple fish"
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
Short of sticking with the N6, what are the alternatives?
[Nexus 6  General] -ErrorFile-:
I somehow knew this (ugly phone, HUGE bezels) would happen after I heard HTC makes the new Nexus-phones this year... Going to have to stick with my N6.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
At this point pretty much nothing since it appears the 2 phones will be identical, there will just be the large version and "mini me" version.

If the Nexus 6p gets around the $300 mark, I'll just buy that instead. I personally don't agree with Google pricing Nexus's beyond $400 max quite frankly. They used to be known for making cheaper phones that were very customizable in the past.

They released the Nexus 6 for $650 which was clearly ridiculous and a massive deviation from what they did in the past. I expect this new phone to be $500. Probably $100 of the price is for a fingerprint scanner which I don't need.

In my opinion, they got it right with the Nexus 5. Nice small visually appealing phone brand new cost $349 which made sense since they were appealing to a different market. Since then it's pretty much been trying to compete with Apple/Samsung now.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeff_in_LA:
So funny!!

All of you saying you're holding on to your N6 -

I call BS! You'll get one by years end.

I've seen this over and over since my HTC Evo
[Nexus 6  General] bubblyboo:
No buy if no Qi charging. Even if this means going Samsung.
[Nexus 6  General] sansnil:
I'd like to hold on to my N6 (no compelling reason to upgrade)... except isn't Google ending support in October? No more security updates becomes compelling for me.
[Nexus 6  General] fiffan86:
I doubt they'll stop security updates. The Nexus 5 will be 3 years old soon and it is still getting security patches. I'll Definitely be holding on to my 6, still don't like the 6p and the new HTC devices probably wont be worth upgrading. I've only had the n6 for a year now, had my n5 for two years. So I'll see what the future nexus next year
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
Hmm....... Maybe Apple fish may not be so bad after all.......

[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Interesting... But this can happen to all devices with rechargeable batteries.
[Nexus 6  General] Outatime67:
I'm still not discounting the possibility that my next "phone" could be a Nexus 7 or 8 tablet, should they ever make a new one that was awesome. I rarely use my phone as a phone.
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
They're going to provide security upgrades for another year, just no guarantee that we'll see a new android versions for the N6 after October.

https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705#nexus_devices
[Nexus 6  General] SynisterWolf:
For almost a 2 year phone its nice to see that they will update date it 1 more time and continue with security patches till android O.
[Nexus 6  General] sbann:
Possibly, but I already have held onto my N6 longer than I originally intended. I was on an annual upgrade cycle until this phone. The lack of front facing speakers may mean I'll wait until 2017. Or I may grudgingly accept the lack of wireless charging and pick up a 6P if there's a good black Friday sale. The N6 will receive updates for another year and I'm happy with the performance, so I have no burning desire to upgrade. Or I'm just getting old and having the latest and greatest isn't that important anymore. :)
[Nexus 6  General] TonikJDK:
The 6 will still get security updates. Google promises them for three years, or 18 months after end of sale. Whichever is longer.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
I'm not liking the ginormous bezels paired with no ffs and no wireless charging, in the leaked pictures device looks fugly

I've been looking at the ZTE Axon 7 and the design and specs look good, but that Chinese software looks horrible and prbly measly development

I don't understand why the nexus line is dropping features with every new iteration, and those bezels ?
[Nexus 6  General] Philip:
Nice spec, but no Qi Charging is a deal-breaker for me. Why would I want to go back to having to plug a piece of wire into my phone every time I need to charge it?!
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
I don't get your complaint. It looks *exactly* the same as every other phone, including Nexus 6. Shiny black rectangle.
[Nexus 6  General] aroy97:
These pre renders are horrendous, all they really needed to do in my opinion was use the same Nexus 6 design and just flatten out the back, replace the Motorola dimple with the fingerprint scanner and I would've been sold. I really hope these renders aren't real, otherwise I'll be sticking with my n6 or may look into samsung
[Nexus 6  General] Deeco7:
Hopefully the design is much better in the flesh than the renders. The N6, it the least favourite of the nexuses I've owned, I underestimated the size of the screen before buying, other than that the phones great despite the occasional freeze ups.
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
There are other phones to upgrade to, but most would not be rootable, no have a custom recovery installed.

I might enjoy going back to a smaller phone and having my N6 as a backup/tablet. I'll miss having dual facing speakers but hopefully it's at least like the HTC 10 setup with one front facing speaker and the bottom firing woofer at least.
[Nexus 6  General] peekie:
temper glass screen protectors are rubbish on a nexus 6 with the halo effect around the edges , the phone inself is great and a keeper for me as i have the 64gb model it has nearly enough room for my videos , my s7 edge has a 128gb sd card which is full with 140 movies , great on the gear vr in cinema mode.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
Ironically given that I started this thread, I may punish myself and buy this thing when it comes out (after a few weeks to make sure there are no bugs). My friend just got the new Note 7. Looks great, but after owning a Nexus I'm done with the ODIN b.s......................

Plus a 5" phone may be more suitable for me. I've gotten used to the Nexus 6, but even without a case it sits heavy in my suit pants and I'm not sure I want that moving forward. Size isn't as big of an issue, just depends on the weight. If I wore jeans or khakis everyday it'd be less of an issue, but suit pants which I have to wear daily makes it an issue. I have to hand carry the Nexus 6 everywhere until I'm off work.
