Did I say something wrong?

It will probably be on the back of the phone.
I have zero interest in this tech, but as long as I can disable/not use it, they can put it on as much stuff as they want.
Where you find dat?
I've been an avid Note fan since the beginning, but I'm finally at my breaking point with samsung. Having had this Note 3 from launch I'm getting more sick of it by the day. Camera is horribly inconsistent, can't take macro shots for shit, and it's slow as balls most of the time. Samsung software doesn't even need to be talked about. I'm downloading PACMan ROM now to see if it helps anything. God I can't wait for the OnePlus One.
If anything about this is true, I hope it's the fingerprint sensor.
I don't care what you delusional people that don't like them say, iPhone 5s sensor is great and actually makes me secure my phone. Nexus 5 is still my daily phone though, so my privates are exposed if I ever lose it.
Not sure how much I'd like the "slide finger over it" style of the S5, though.

Nope. It's not fast enough. Plus, there's not always enough light around me. And I might also be unlocking the phone without having it up to my face. All these issues are why I never use it.
Soon, you may not even need to click anything.

So yeah... Did we all misinterpret this to mean Chrome + Android when it was meant to be Android + Silver?

New mobile apps for Docs, Sheets and Slides—work offline and on the go
So instead of combining QuickOffice and Drive, we get this. Also on iOS.
Every year, phones and tablets get better, and more of you are starting to use your mobile devices not just to view, but also to create and edit content. And while the Drive app is a convenient place to store your stuff, we want to make it easier for you to quickly find, edit and create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations on the go. Starting today, you can download new, standalone mobile apps for Docs and Sheets—with Slides coming soon. Need to find a spreadsheet? Go to the Sheets app. Need to create a document? Go to the Docs app. They’re all right there at your fingertips.
When you open the new apps, you’ll see your most recently edited files, which means less time searching and scrolling.
The apps also come with offline support built in, so you can easily view, edit and create files without an Internet connection. Now, if you have a brilliant idea for a best-selling novel while traipsing through the Amazonian rainforest (or you know, something more probable, like during flight takeoff)...no problem. You can jot down your idea in the Docs app on your phone, even when you’re offline.
You can get the apps on Google Play and in the App Store. If you don’t have time now, over the next few days you’ll be prompted to download the apps when you go to edit or create a document or spreadsheet in your Drive app. And of course, you’ll still be able to use the Drive app to view and organize all of your documents, spreadsheets, presentations, photos and more.
So enjoy the Amazon—we’re looking forward to buying that novel someday. And in the meantime, just remember: even if a crocodile eats your phone, your files are safe in the cloud!

So now there's QuickOffice, Drive, Docs, and Sheets? All of which do pretty much the same things?
If there's one thing Android's good at, it's fragmentation. And choice.
I think they're trying to turn drive into a file manager instead of their office suite (which was stupid to do in the first place).
They're starting to have more apps back up settings/data, so that's probably why.
In Zucks own words "we are breaking up the big blue app".
Drive should be your online/cloud harddrive. You should be able manage all your files through it. But creating these files (Photos, Docs, Spreadsheets, etc) should be taken care of from a different specific app, and an app that does it well.
I really hope that all the Photos images I have (Google+ autoback ups and folders) can be managed through Drive.

Gaf, anyone with a galaxy device care to test something for me? I don't own one but getting reports todos and shopping list in my note app are crashing now with those devices. If you could test the one on play store first to see if it crashes then test the updated one on xda and let me know, thanks! Just make a huge todo list and scroll up and down a few times and see if crashes. Feel free to PM me even
Link to google play version (this is the version that is crashing)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flufflydelusions.app.enotesclassiclite
APK here for the version that hopefully fixes the crashing

Certainly hope there's some truth to this. Couldn't care less about the finger print scanner though.
I could replicate the crash using a galaxy note 2 with a days old nightly of cyanogenmod 11.
According to folder statistics, the note I created was <60k in size. Scrolling was very slow prior to the crash (dragged downwards, but took several seconds for the note to load and scroll down).
Will try the fix apk shortly and update this post.
Edit: After installing the XDA apk, it lasted longer, but I could still trigger the app to crash. While it was still very slow when drag scrolling the content as I mentioned earlier, after a few seconds it started to scroll more smoothly before the crash happened.
Unless the fingerprint scanner is near invisible i say FUCK THAT
just move to keep. upside is it syncs with google drive, and it doesn't look like a touchwiz app!

I pray every day that this is the case with the OnePlus One.

I think it's an app he's developing that he's trying to test and fix.

QuickOffice sux.
Google Drive was always better.
Google Drive was always better.
Come on now, don't be like that.
Quickoffice was much better than google suite for a long time, until they snatched them up.

Not even a little.
that's what i get for not reading
I want to tear my nut hairs out. I can download and update other apps juuuuuuuuuust fine, but Twitter and the PlayStation app want to be filthy cunts for no reason. I keep getting insufficient storage errors on my S4 and N7. Every other app on both devices are fine. I've tried nearly everything
Have you tried sideloadupdating the new versions?

Looking for a used n7 2013 with 3g/4g/lte/whatever tis called...is someone is thinking about getting rid of it. You got the I/O coming up, get rid of it!
Type Machine is on sale. It's really useful and a gorgeously designed app. It basically saves everything you type so if something bad happens, you don't have to type it again.

You mean just downloading and installing the apk? No. I figured I'd wait for them to come online and try other methods in the mean time.
Yea, It's the same thing. I've had problems like that before with apps not updating (because android), and doing that fixed it and future troubles.

G3 better not come out till at least August. Can't afford to get it this quick.
Tried it for Twitter on my N7. Still telling me to make room... when half of the storage is free...
are you on a cm based rom? I remember this being a bug in cm a while ago
Oh storage? That used to be an android problem.
Are you within like 10-15 % of free space, cause that's Android™
I used to get toasts saying something like "internal storage remaining: 7gb" while updating apps, when realy I had about 20 gigs free space back when I was on cm11, but I don't know if the bug still exists on the current nightlies since i'd switched back to stock a while ago. Don't know if you're facing the same issue though since you say you can install/update other apps fine.
