Phone seems to be stable again. Good lord, just let me hold out until the next good phone releases, shit!
Anyway, what is everyone thinking about this LG G Flex? Here is a video showing how much give it has. Pretty impressive I'd say, though it's not very practical I believe.

Compact isn't coming to T-Mobile. Z1s is, which is just a respin of the Z1 with 32GB and a central headphone jack.
Z1-C is everywhere except the US, as always.

Well that's even more disappointing

I get that LG are trying to solve the problem of breakable phones and should be commended for that - but aren't the specs disappointing compared with other phones at the same price point? Makes me think either the technology is super expensive or isn't mature just yet. (Specifically the screen - 720p at 6 inches)

Seems pointless cause it still trips Knox if you want to install a rom >.<
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
And I tried the other method but it keeps getting a fail in odin whenever I try to flash it.

pretty sure they always used them, the issue was their calibration and the filter they added over the screen.
The Z1 was using 4 different panels, so it was a hilarious screen lottery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445283 3 of those are not IPS.
Z and ZL did not use IPS panels.
Two. PLS is just Samsung's branding for their IPS displays.

Just ordered our son his first phone, a Moto X. Was planning on logging into it with my Google account so that he would have access to some of the apps/games I've purchased, keeping in mind that I'll remove my Gmail/Chrome sync.
Anything I should keep in mind if I do this? All my contacts would show up on his phone, wouldn't they? :-/

You can turn off contact sync in the sync settings.

multiple accounts!!! you should make him his own google account for syncing stuff and then log into just the play store with your account.

Evleaks has heard the same rumour as me. They say the H1 Xperia flagship will be on Verizon. That would be in addition to T-Mobile. Made the thread already.
Maybe there is some merit to it after all...

The Sony smartphone GAFers are about as rabid as Windows Phone GAFers.
Take that as you will.
The shittiest thing I've ever seen
I actually like the first two screens. Their font looks terrible in the icon labels though, and that wallpaper isn't doing any favors.
T-Mobile as well? neat!
Pretty much. I think the middle one seems a lot like flipboard+google cards+social feed. Which is where I imagine google cards might go in the future. And the lock screen has a widget based on activity.
I don't see where the outrage is coming from. I would wait til we see more details.

It looks exactly the same as current Touchwiz except they changed the icons. Also, what's with Samsung and ugly ass extra large, rectangular widget? Looks about as bad as the nasty weather widget that they throw on their phones by default.
If I owned a Samsung device or was planning to I'd fucking hope they're fake. It looks absolutely atrocious, no sense of design whatsoever. It's like they tried to give their own twist on iOS 7 and smang it together with their old fugly mess of a UX.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
No flash installed. And didn't the Note 10 2014 literally just get announced? It's not stock, though, so it's dead to me.

They'll call it what it is, a waste of time and resources.
You're thinking of the Note Pro. The Note 10.1 2014 was announced at Computex, I think.

So i have very little knowledge of droid devices but i do know the phone i am getting today will be a droid but i can't figure out which one would be the better buy. The LG G2 or the HTC One. I am heading over T-Mobile later and being completely oblivious to all things related to phones i have no idea what one is better and why. I know the G2 has the better camera and apparently it's one of the best cameras on a phone (or so i hear) which is a huge plus in my book.

only Verizon has the droid.

droid as in android phones... Thought was kind of obvious with LG G2 and HTC One being Mentioned and Verizon isn't the only carrier with those phones.
You couldn't pay me to be on Verizon, or ATT or Sprint. I was asking opinions on both LG G2/HTC One because those are my 2 top choices from T-Mobile, i have 0 interest in owning another iphone and i had a horrible experience with the Galaxy S3 but most of those problems came from the shitty Sprint service.
The Faceless Master

droid is a specific subset of Android phones that Verizon offers.
between those two devices you're considering, LG G2.
the only thing better about the HTC One is BOOMSOUND! some people will also add 'metal' to that, but not me, not when the actual build quality is so bad.

Don't know how reputable this source is but if the HTC One successor is sticking with the subpar 4 Ultra-pixel camera, I'm out. The phrase "still good for a mobile phone" shouldn't exist anymore with how excellent pictures are on the LG G2 and the Note 3.

The Sony Xperia Z1, would you guys recommend it? I read a rumour about a Z1s but the site didn't gave any info on release, price etc, but i'm wondering if the Z1 is even worth thinking about; with the possibility that it might be somewhat outdated a few months from now.
Thing is, i'm looking for a new phone and it's between the iPhone 5s ooor something else. A part of me is a bit tired of having owned an iPhone for over 4 years (3GS > 4S on contract) and the Xperia Z1 looks like a great phone but at the same time: i love me some iOS.

They "forgot" to say what "HD" resolution it's going to be. It's 1024x768, isn't it?

Supposed to come out on T-Mobile on January 22nd I believe.
Did they mention if it's KitKat? Otherwise, that 1GB of RAM...

I'd still go with it if all of the other specs are as rumored, but then again, I don't really use my phone cam too much. I'd probably feel differently if I did.
Just wondering, but has Google started to integrate Waze traffic mapping technology into regular Google Maps?
I ask because I'm starting to see live traffic data on small residential streets which I would never see before. It's pretty cool actually.

I would try it in a store first cause the Z1 is huge, even for a 5" phone. My friend has one and it even feels substantially bigger than my Nexus 5.
