2014 Smart Phones

The new Moto X ?It's guaranteed to get the latest Android OS

 

Just picked up the Note 4.
I had the 2,3,and now the 4.

Will root and apply mods tonight.

Water is wet.
Sky is blue.
Notes are the best phones on the market.

 

What is root and what are mods? Please give me tips because this is my first Android phone. (Note 4)

 

Also, I'm trying my hardest to take advantage of the pen by writing a lot of notes but dang my handwriting is downright horribpe. I write about five lines before I turn the next page.

 

I think it's more for jotting down short/quick notes. If you want to write longer notes, I would suggest a bigger tablet like the Note 10.1 2014.

I honestly could never write anything more than 1 sentence long on my Note phones... maybe a phone number or an address would be ideal.

 

Oh man I see the new nexus 6 getting high praise. I'm wondering now if I made the right choice with the note 4 or should I have waited...

 

From the reviews, the Nexus 6 is the one phone that might make me regret owning a Note.

 

Root is the key to your phone. It's gives you full access, which allows for phone modifications, root only apps, custom Roms etc. A must on any Android phone.

I think it's like jailbreaking an IPhone. However, you many more options with root. PM if you have any more questions.

 

looks like the 2014 pure edition moto x will be the first official smartphone with lollipop... beating out the nexus 6 itself. certain people received the soak test yesterday. for those who were on the fence about this device, you may want to give it a shot.

anyone got a sony xperia z2 or z3?

 

I think I'm going to get the Oneplus One. Does anyone have Invites or can point me in the right direction on how I can get one ASAP? Craigslist? I want to make sure I have warranty on that phone so I have been a bit skeptical of buying it off someone.

 

its annoying that there's no android flagship

with expandable storage, home button, exceptional camera AND pure android lollipop

the note 4 comes closest but it has touchwiz. but then when you root you lose the s-pen functions.

nexus 6: no microsd, no home button

moto x: no microsd, subpar camera, no home button

 

why do you want a physical button? The screen buttons move with the screen orientation.

 

I don't like the S5. No microsd on the galaxy alpha either.

wtf? do I have to wait for the s6 to get everything i want in an android flagship?


by then theyll get rid of microsd in the s6 as well. They can make up for it by offering a 128gb model which no android currently does

 

for unlocking.. the home button is easiest

 

Double tap feature should take care of that....pretty easy...

 

Which phone has that?

 

Oneplus and htc m8 both have it. Others may have it as well.

 

LG does as well off the top of my head. Most ROMS do too, I believe.

 

Moto x allows you to turn on a feature that turns it on when your hand comes near it. Nexus 6 wakes up when you pick it up
