Anyone want to recommend a Rom for the LG V10?

 

[keko jones]

Are they still making ROMs for the LG G2? I just fixed my old G2 to keep it as a backup. I really like this phone man. So smooth.

 

[T Lo Sweater]

They should. At the very least cm 11/12 i think

Latest rumors say the S7 & S7 edge should be officially announced Feb 21 & on sale Mar 11.


Next 3 weeks should be fun

Will the icon pack work system wide or just with the custom launcher?

Welp. Will wait out some of the initial bugs but I'm probably jumping to that.

S7 camera is gonna be INSANE based off the rumored specs. You know Samsung always comes correct on their cameras. Honestly could be the GOAT cell phone camera.

I've been rocking with the Nexus 6P for over a month now. It's pretty dope and I have no complaints but I miss having a phone with features like the S-Pen and was debating on copping a V10 or a Note 5. People always say Stock Android >>>>> but that's not the case for everyone. Stock is cool but man so little features makes it boring at times.

this is nothing new though. if people want timely updates, either get a nexus or be ready to root and deal with bugs.

this. i already accepted that i totally messed up buying into samsung, and now I owe $400 on a note 4 (as of now) and it will never see marshmallow. its not even 2 yrs old. this is why i went back to nexus 5 and am enjoying the experience much more (turbo charging is sorely missed tho) and am looking to sell y note 4 and take my losses.

when i get my $ right, and see that new nexus approaching that gold 6p bout to be copped.

my nexus 5 is gonna be 3 generations old come this fall, and still on that marshmallow. im strictly nexus from now on, learned my lesson.

Software updates on skinned phones are overrated

I agree. If you get any non Nexus device you're pretty much giving up the fastest updates for more features. But that doesn't mitigate their usefulness. I'd say a lot of the reason carriers are nonchalant in updating their devices is cause contracts are on their way out and folks aren't signing that 2 year commitment. More turnover from year to year now. So they don't really have incentive on upgrading software on older devices, even if it isn't that old. It is pretty ****** though for those who don't change phones a lot.

1st day as an android user: note 4
Why do y'all generally update your phones?

I used ios 7 for 2 years. Ios upgrades never enticed me to make the jump.

Report: Google to Take Top-To-Bottom “Apple-Like” Control Over Nexus Line
google nexus
Ever since the launch of the Nexus 6P and 5X at the end of 2015, we have begun to see this narrative arise suggesting that Google needs to stop partnering with companies like LG, Samsung, HTC, and Huawei to build its Nexus devices and instead take the Apple approach, where they handle everything from top to bottom and simply contract out companies to help build devices. That essentially means going the Pixel route, where we see products like the Pixel C that were designed and essentially, manufactured, by Google. In other words, Google takes control over everything from the software to hardware design to make a tablet or computer (or phone) that is 100% Google. Sure, they are sourcing chipsets and RAM and displays and all of that, plus they need someone to physically build everything, but they aren’t asking someone like LG or HTC to add their name to it.

While this “Apple-like” control over the Nexus program seems to be the opposite of what the Nexus program was designed for, a report out of The Information this morning, suggests that’s what Google plans to do going forward.

According to this report, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and his crew has told “colleagues and outsiders” that the company will take greater control over Nexus smartphones. No time frame for when that will happen was mentioned in any form during this report, nor were there any other real details, so we don’t have much to go on other than that bit about Pichai informing “colleagues and outsiders.”

The report continues with mention of HTC potentially still hustling to try and build this year’s Nexus phone(s), but that insiders at HTC aren’t exactly thrilled that Google may want tighter control that wouldn’t include HTC’s name in any way. Then again, HTC could be the last partner before Google switches to a Google-only branded Nexus line later on.

Of course, the argument surrounding this move has to do with Apple. According to sources of The Information, Google wants more control, because it wants to compete at the high-end with Apple and is worried that Apple will continue to try and squeeze Google’s money-making opportunities out of the iPhone, which again, controls the high-end of the smartphone market. So, putting tons of money into the niche Nexus program is going to fix that? OK.

Some other bullets from the report suggest that Googlers weren’t happy that the newest Nexus phones weren’t sold through carriers and that Nexus phones typically carry “high price points.” Honestly, I don’t know that I can get on board with either of those statements. I don’t think Google likes partnering with carriers. They attempted it last year with the Nexus 6 and the phone was largely thought to be their worst selling Nexus in years. Do I even need to bring up the Galaxy Nexus fiasco? The Nexus line also has never really been sold at “high price points” outside of the Nexus 6. The Nexus 6P, at $499, is quite the bargain actually. Anyways.

So who knows what this all means in the end. If Google wants to reduce the partner participation of companies like LG or Huawei or HTC for its Nexus line, I guess it is what it is. We all know that Nexus phones will never be household items until Google puts some marketing dollars behind them. Will a top-to-bottom approach finally push them to do that?

just unboxed my first android phone...doa.

bought it like new on amazon via amazon fullfillment

It's not turning on even though it's connected via microusb.

Trying another cable...

edit: no wonder, the phone was so light. Battery wasn't installed.

Amazon fulfilled orders mean nothing. Just means they ship items given to them from third party guys out of their warehouses

I brought amazon fulfillment up, because amazon deals with the return process.

Which is why amazon fulfilled orders mean something.

The attitude with you guys sometimes.
