| up_the_irons | considering replacing my HTC One m7 (original Google Play edition) with either a Samsung Note 4, or 5, or the Galaxy S6. Anyone swear by (or hate) either of these? | [02:23] |
| plett | up_the_irons: I'm waiting to see what the specs and cost Nexus 5X are going to be. The rumours say that it will be announced in about two weeks time. | [02:29] |
| up_the_irons | plett: ah interesting | [02:30] |
| plett | I've currently got a Nexus 4 from 2012 but it's starting to be a bit flaky, and rumours are that Android M will only be backported to the Nexus 5, leaving the Nexus 4 stranded on it's current software | [02:34] |
| up_the_irons | ah | [02:35] |

| mnathani | up_the_irons: The Notes are pretty larget phones, phablets I think they call them. The S6 is more usable in my opinion | [13:29] |
| brycec | brycec dislikes Samsung phones, specifically their version of Android and how locked-down things are. | [13:33] |
| up_the_irons | i just root them | [13:40] |
| ..... (idle for 23mn) | ||
| brycec | I was under the uninformed impression that most Samsungs don't root or don't stock ROM or both | [14:03] |
| m0unds | i have a note5, it's fine, but i don't expect to ever be able to root it
only root thing i did on my oneplus one was to tune multitasking using an app called recently camera is pretty decent on the note, white balance blows in lower light but it's good otherwis | [14:14] |
| ...... (idle for 27mn) | ||
| up_the_irons | I was liking the Note 5 at the store
my brother roots everything. he has 3 phones. he's been able to root every Samsung device he cared to own. | [14:42] |

| m0unds | are you on at&t or vzw?
if not, you might be able to manage it - on at&t and vzw due to payment stuff, if you trip knox on it it will render it unbootable allegedly | [15:34] |
| up_the_irons | m0unds: neither, I'm on pTel (t-mobile underneath) | [15:37] |
| m0unds | ah, ok - tmo device though? or do they have their own branded version? | [15:38] |
| up_the_irons | m0unds: no, i've gone with Google Edition phones for like the last 5 years. So they're all unlocked, pure android, no carrier crap. | [15:42] |
| m0unds | right, but i'm talking about the note thing
because there is no google edition note | [15:56] |
| up_the_irons | oh right, but there's factory unlocked onmes
*ones | [15:57] |
| mercutio | it's a bit annoying how samsung don't do updates for new androids much. | [15:57] |
| m0unds | right, but they're only SIM unlocked
nah, they do i've gotten two OTAs in three weeks | [15:57] |
| mercutio | with notes you have less rom choice becuase of stylus
you kind of want samsung's bloatware, but with a fast recent note you should be fine. | [15:57] |
| up_the_irons | m0unds: ah ok | [15:57] |
| m0unds | but new nexuseseses later this year - one LG and one Huawei | [15:57] |
| up_the_irons | m0unds: i was going to say, i'd probably stay with stock samsung for the note | [15:58] |
| m0unds | ah, ok
i used to despise samsung's ui stuff, but it's really not too bad on the 5 | [15:58] |
| up_the_irons | that's what i've been hearing, same on the s6 | [15:58] |
| m0unds | i like stock android a lot better, just because i think the UX is more polished and snazzier | [15:58] |
| up_the_irons | yeah | [15:58] |
| m0unds | but touchwiz isn't as awful as it used to be
and you can theme it, so i have a free material design dark theme on mine | [15:58] |
| mercutio | i haven't rooted either my phone or tablet.
i always used to root even with bloatware things tend to be a bit better these days | [15:59] |
| m0unds | i only did it w/my opo because the task management in lollipop was annoying - i really didn't need to see tasks from the last 5 days | [15:59] |
| mercutio | it is annoying actually | [16:00] |
| m0unds | so i used an app called "recently" that let you adjust how much stuff showed up, how many search instances, etc
but it required root | [16:00] |
| mercutio | i like that i can use flashlight easilywith android 5, really the only great benefit i've had | [16:00] |
| m0unds | i'm finding that the note5 doesn't seem to hang on to as many recent tasks though, so it's not as annoying | [16:00] |
| mercutio | how's note5 better than note4? | [16:00] |
| m0unds | incrementally better hardware, significantly better build
better display | [16:01] |
| mercutio | i was considering getting a note 4, but it was cheaper to get note 10.1 2014 and normal phone | [16:01] |
| m0unds | in terms of color accuracy and stuff
aesthetically, it's a lot nicer (but i don't see mine because it's in a big-ass otterbox case) | [16:01] |
| mercutio | ahh, i found the note4's sceren looked great | [16:01] |
| m0unds | the camera is really, really good aside from flaky white balance in low light (which you can fix using pro mode) | [16:01] |
| up_the_irons | Makes me wanna get the 5 now... One thing that kinda threw me off was no SD card slot or replaceable battery. *Now*, I don't have those things in my current HTC One _either_, but still, seems kinda nice to have. I have hit my 32GB storage barrier once. | [16:03] |
| mercutio | sd card readers are cheap | [16:04] |

| mercutio | oh microsd :) | [16:04] |
| up_the_irons | mercutio: yeah but who wants to have to carry one? | [16:04] |
| m0unds | i bit the bullet and went 64GB on mine, since i had 64GB in the opo | [16:04] |
| mercutio | up_the_irons: i dunno, i don't want tos tore stuff on my phone at all
but it has sdcard in it because it was easy/cheap i use less than 8gb on all my devices pretty much | [16:04] |
| up_the_irons | mercutio: i have lots of videos and podcasts. maybe i should delete some... | [16:05] |
| mercutio | up_the_irons: just store them somewhere else?
actually if you have lots of old videos and podcasts you can always stick them on a 2.5" external hard-disk with a usb otg adapter | [16:06] |
| m0unds | i've got a month's worth of joe rogan and bill burr and a couple others | [16:06] |
| mercutio | then you can plugin to laptop/phone/etc as you like | [16:06] |
| m0unds | i had to make my podcast app purge older ones because i kept forgetting to | [16:06] |
| up_the_irons | otg adapter? | [16:06] |
| m0unds | oh yeah, forgot about those
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-5in-Micro-Host-Adapter/dp/B00B4GGW5Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1442358297&sr=8-2&keywords=usb+otg | [16:07] |
| BryceBot | Amazon: "StarTech.com 5in Micro USB to USB OTG Host Adapter - Micro USB Male to USB A Female On-The-GO Host Cable Adapter" | [16:07] |
| mercutio | up_the_irons: means you can plug normal usb devices into phone
they're like $2 on ebay my phone takes ages to read in my 2.5" hard-disk but it does work | [16:07] |
| up_the_irons | ah cool | [16:09] |
| mercutio | it doesn't work on all devices
but they're cheap enough you can just try it like my phone works with standard os, with mouse and keyboard, and hard-disk | [16:10] |
| brycec | And remember that they draw from the phone's battery ;) | [16:11] |
| mercutio | yeah
i have one cable that lets you plugin charger at the asme time | [16:12] |
| brycec | nice! | [16:12] |
| up_the_irons | man that seems like a lot of stuff to carry around ;) | [16:12] |
| mercutio | heh
having a mechanical 10keyless keyboard on phone with utg was fun terminal worked a lot easier :) | [16:13] |
| m0unds | haha | [16:14] |
| mercutio | yeah it looked funny
but it worked ok | [16:16] |
