So Samsung finally makes a metal phone (which wasn't even really the problem people had with Samsung phones) and they still managed to fuck it up.

Basically you need to unlock the bootloader. There's a tool here that will assist you with that. You have to use terminal or command line in order to get what's called your Token ID. Once you have that, you'll register at HTCdev.com, sign in and go to the bootloader unlock page. Enter the token ID you got from command line and the HTC site will email you file that contains your unlock code. Use that program to find the file once downloaded to your cpu and it will unlock your bootloader.
Make sure you've backed up everything you want to save before this process, as your phone will be completely wiped. There are several youtube guides which will take you step by step on how to unlock, root and install recovery / busybox (if preferred).

They just can't help the selves can they.
But it's not an iPhone and it doesn't run Android. It runs Touchwiz.
I think you mean, white/silver looks ALPHA.
I wouldn't use a Samsung phone if someone gave it to me for free. I already made the mistake of buying one of their tablets.
I could never get it to work with my chrome cast either bummer really.

That's not how Chromecast works. The device gets the signal to stream and connects to it's own video stream straight from the router. You aren't actually streaming Netflix from your phone/tablet.

Press, and it will be getting a redesign when L releases.
And block the google dns as the chromecast uses that by default.
Oh shit, I completely forgot about that part. That still doesn't explain why Hola is blocking all my internet access though in, for example, Chrome on Android.
You mean your playlists, or the stuff you uploaded from your own collection? Because the latter plays even without a GPM subscription. I've never paid for GPM, but I use it to listen to my own stuff from the cloud all the time.
Okay.
It doesn't display tweets in chronological order. It's feature poor (no muting). It's search function is a disaster. It's designed by people who don't know what fucking contrast is. It has exceptionally poor display density. It's tabs don't correspond to the way anyone uses Twitter in the real world.
Happy?
When did Google update the store page for apps in the Play Store app?
I love it.
This is awesome I had a look at the playstore on my phone last night. Much better than before.

Anyone here use Themer?
I don't mind the Play store pages on a phone. I think they end up needing a bit more information density above the fold on a tablet.
It's very odd to roll them out with the front half the store not updated though, to y'know, real life customers. It looks kinda unprofessional and half finished.

Press da bess
Ohhh RAM. I was thinking storage for a second there, like a budget version for an Indonesian market and just though "HAHA doesn't TouchWiz take up that much?!"
That's pretty sweet.

Yesterday I noticed that the Note 8.0 came out in early 2013 and hasn't been refreshed since then and there haven't been any rumors of a new version. I guess Samsung killed the 8.0 series. Bummer. :/
Someone check on faceless!
what else are they going to do to convince people smartphones are still worth $600+?

inb4 'Touchwiz needs that much RAM to run worse than a phone with 64 MB of RAM and stock Android' shitters
They release tons of 8 inch tablets still, they just don't use the Note name anymore for tablets. They have the Tab Pro 8.4, Galaxy Tab 4 8.0, and a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 all released this year.
Well... it's not wrong.

Which of them come with the S-Pen?

No. It will just be more sluggish that another phone with 2gb of ram that runs on stock.

I've searched for the answer to this everywhere, but can't seem to find an answer so I'll see if GAF can help out. I am a newish Android user as I've had my OPO for a little less than a month. I came from iOS where I am used to storing my music in iTunes Match and then downloading the song I want for online playback from Match to my iPhone. I have uploaded my entire music collection to Google Play Music in hopes of having a similar music setup. I created a playlist in Play Music with the songs I want to download for storage on my phone since Play Music won't let you download individual songs for some reason. The playlist I created in Play Music is exactly the same as the songs that I've downloaded from iTunes Match to my iPhone. Those songs on my iPhone took up 5.7 gb, but Play Music says that the same songs will take up 16.5 gb on my OPO. Does that sound right? Is there a reason that Play Music file are 3 times the size of the songs in Match (or the original MP3 files for that matter)? If that is correct, what is the recommended alternative? Something like PowerAmp and just manually moving music to my phone? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

Get your shtitting pants on everyone.
Cause y'all gonna bag on a moto device irregardless.
Yes, the wood panelling on those phones are fantastic. Shame there is no availability in the UK, and its mid range.

Anyone think that Motorola may try to make the new X and G competitive prices to the Nexus line? Or am I dreaming too much?

I just need a new Nexus already
They already are competitive with the Nexus price

Didn't the X come out more expensive than the Nexus 5?

Now they are. They X wasn't at launch. The X was highly exspensive at launch.
You dreaming. Lenovo has to turn a profit.
