My buddy has one and the sharpening doesn't bother me a bit.
I wonder how long before One M8 gets that Lollipop love. I know they said 90 days, in before the last week of January.
I think carriers will be the bigger problem there. At least, Verizon isn't good about timely updates.
Based "international" model.
Anyone else on a oneplus One got a message for an OTA?
Got another invite today for One plus, worth upgrading from a Note one? Heard lots of positive things about it, just trying to justify getting a new phone.

I upgraded from a note 1 to a oneplus One. Totally worth it.

still waiting for mine, I could just flash the update but I can wait. I should probably root it too..

Don't really wanna install the OTA. I fear something will break with the custom kernel and custom recovery. Plus I am too far away from home atm.
Why doesn't multitasking work on my Moto G 2nd gen.
Its at the stock firmware, and its rooted.
I'm trying to play clash of clans, and sometimes when I lock my phone or exit out of the app by pressing the home button, then go back into it, it reloads the game.
Same thing happens to other apps and it's really annoying.

Memory. Android will delete the application from memory if there is too much pressure and there is little you can do, the app should try it's best to restore though.
[QUOTE=slayer3032;46452840]You should have used PurpleDrake and just installed TWRP, you have a D851 with an unlocked bootloader what are you even doing I don't remember needing to copy any sort of boot.img.. I would assume you can just Towelroot/root and use Flashify to install TWRP, download a rom on your phone then boot to recovery and flash it. If you choose wipe phone or whatever in the stock recovery with TWRP it boots to TWRP.
T-Mobile is awesome to deal with though, you can return or JUMP literally anything that boots and if it's bricked and you did it they could really care less as they just want to keep you happy unless the people at the store are dicks.
Help is coming to the G3 though, Houstonn will be building PA for it and they just got the bootloader unlocked finally so the development scene can finally start rolling through. I don't regret what so ever returning it in July though, Houstonn's PA scores higher benchmarks than the 801 G3 anyways and thanks to the G3 we're finally going to get rolling on a proper unlocked kitkat bootloader supposedly too.[/QUOTE]
The TWRP recovery installed fine, and i got in there fine, its just i formatted incorrectly and wiped my entire phone.
The issue with the boot.img file was that the zip file that encased the rom wouldn't go over to my phone. I wasn't copying [i]just[/i] boot.img, i was copying the entire rom in the zip file.
fucking painful, it's almost coming up to the second preorder thing for the 1+1 and I'm still stuck on pending authorization. If anyone has a one plus one key I'll gladly take it or even trade you some steam items/games for it.

I feel, just had the same issue I went to pay and the Paypal payment came up with $0 so I decided to refresh the page and then I couldn't checkout again to pay. Give it a few mins if you processed the order it will probably show up under "My Pending Payments" in your store account page. Also now I have a dozen US and UK chargers in my Basket for some reason.

That is a whole lot of chargers :v:
My contract with AT&T is about to expire and my iPhone 4S is starting to show it's age and wear (10+ confirmed drops and still rolling).
I'd like to make the switch over to Android for it's potential in modding.
Apologies if this question doesn't fit here or if it's been answered before, but what is the best Android smartphone on the market if I wanted a decent balance of battery life and gaming?
(I'd like to game on the go as my commutes are starting to become more frequent).
I don't really care about the camera as long as it isn't super shitty, and protective case options are a bonus.
I was looking at the Galaxy S5 because of it's innate water and shock-resistance (I would like to refit it with a modest case just in case you know?).
But you guys know more than me and [B]I was wondering if there was anything in December I should be looking out for[/B]?
Oh and don't worry about me adjusting to the OS, I've spent more time on an Android phone than my own anyway.
Thanks in advance you guys!
My initial options were:
Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, LG G3, and OnePlus One

The Moto G has some known memory management issues. It's way too overzealous with killing apps.
[QUOTE=FlandersNed;46451007]So my dad was at a work conference in the states and for some reason they gave everyone there free Galaxy Tab 4s. He's giving it to me once he returns soon since he would have no use of it and also to replace the Nexus 7 Tablet (that he also got for free 2 years ago) that he gave to me which has a broken screen (It reacts to phantom touch inputs.)
I hear these aren't the best of tablets. I don't know whether this is immoral, but should I sell the Tab 4 and use the money to fix the screen of the Nexus 7?[/QUOTE]
Dad is back now and selling is a no-go.
No rom other than TouchWiz exists for the tab 4. Looks like I'll just have to get used to it...

root -> install cm apps installer - > install trebuchet - > uninstall touchwiz home
That'll at least fix the homescreen for you :v:
Woohoo, looks like Sprint is getting the N6...but only in blue.
And only with 32gb of storage?

Same story for T-Mobile
Haven't spent my Google Play credit in a few weeks from the Surveys. AC Unity app came out today, and I am 1p short on credit from buying the premium stuff.
Send more surveys pls.
I'm considering risking the safety of my LG G2 and removing the armor case I bought for it a while ago.
The case adds huge bezels around the screen and really ruins the aesthetics of the phone, as it has really thin bezels itself.
Got an invite for a black 64gb Oneplus one. None of my friends want it so I am offering it to you guys. First one to PM me gets it, simple as that.
And it's gone!

Already did it, works fine. Just be sure to follow the directions on the Franco Kernel OP. It's seamless.
[QUOTE=Fingers!!!;46448870]What are the advantages of installing Cyanogen on my Moto G?[/QUOTE]
One day late but, the theme engine and the extra configurations are pretty much it.
I was using CM11 on my N5 and then switched to L, took me a long time to get used to it.
