Re: Extreme battery drain over night Weird. I have a 4.7" also, and rarely lose over 4% overnight. And I usually leave WiFi and Bluetooth on. The one exception is if the phone is below 20% when I go to bed - then I wake up to a dead battery. Makes no sense to me... Posted via the Android...

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth I completely agree! My Android phone is so much easier to use than our iPad. The lack of a "back" button in IOS is incredibly frustrating. Sure, I can double tap the home button to multitask - but that still doesn't get me back one step to...

Oh, shoot, never mind. It says that the invitation can only be claimed under my email address. Sorry. :( Posted via the Android Central App

It apparently has to be claimed in the next two days. I am happy with my Alcatel Idol 3 4.7, so am going to pass on the One Plus X. Anyone want the invitation? (I would just forward you the email with the invitation code.) I am in the U. S., if it matters. Posted via the Android Central App

I am liking FaceLook. No Ads, very small footprint, almost no permissions. I haven't tried uploading a photo yet, but everything else I have tried has worked fine. All of the other "Lite" versions I looked at have obnoxious ads and / or pop-ups. Posted via the Android Central App

I agree - sounds like a defective phone. I had a series of similar sorts of issues with my Nexus 5, which were temporarily corrected with factory resets. In hindsight, I should have insisted that Google replace it, but they didn't want to, since factory resets kept fixing the issues...Until it...

UPDATE: Turns out, the biggest problem with the phone volume is only for one particular caller. (Some weird interaction between her cell phone and mine.) Other calls, while not loud, are loud enough to hear okay. And of course, the speakerphone is PLENTY loud! Still waiting on the earbuds...

It's a reasonable question. I hadn't gotten my hands on one before ordering, so I didn't realize the slight increase in size would make that much difference. I didn't try ordering the cables and chargers until after I ordered the phone (turned to Amazon for the accessories - Google was very...

Size - just too big (especially, tall) for my hands. Battery life. The USB-C nonsense. Makes the phone that much more expensive because all cables and chargers need to be replaced - and there's no reliable source for the new ones yet. Too expensive for limited storage and no SD card slot...

Any other suggestions? I just ordered a set of ear buds with microphone and volume control - dunno if that will enable me to turn up the volume above the hardware limitations of the phone itself, but worth a try. I started to write a post asking about which phone to get instead, but quickly...

I'm pretty sure I did it correctly (I was desperate to try to hear the caller!), but will double check tomorrow. Thank you for the suggestion!

I don't know about the Galaxy Tab, but when I had that happen on my Nexus 5, the thing that worked was deleting my Gmail account and then adding it back in. Same as you described, I went through and make sure that synching was enabled, turned the phone on and off, etc. Nothing helped. So I...

I've had the phone for 3 days, and am loving almost everything about it. But I received my first phone call today, and the volume was terrible. I was in a fairly quiet setting, and could barely hear the caller. Had I been outdoors, or in a noisier place, it would have been impossible. Call...

Thank you both! Yes, I forgot to mention the terrible battery on the Nexus 5! The last few months I was lucky to make it until noon without a recharge, with light usage. Definitely looking forward to better battery life!! Thanks again!

Great, thank you!

I have a 3rd generation iPad, and no direct experience with an iPhone. But based on that, and in addition to everything else people have said, I especially like Android better than iOS because: 1. The app icons stay where I put them on the screen, instead of re-arranging themselves every time...

I also just saw the "Hands on" review of the One Plus X. 5" screen, sd card, much stronger specs overall than either the Idol 3 4.7 or the Moto G. $249. But it won't be available for mere mortals to purchase until December - and my Nexus 5 is dead now! Hoping I like the Idol 3 4.7... :)

Thank you. I just looked up tempered glass screen protectors for it on Amazon. Do you have a preferred brand? Otherwise, I will just go for something with decent reviews. (I bought the Idol 3, 4.7. And case. Arriving Saturday!) Thanks for your help. :)

Selling your G4? Okay, that's a strong recommendation! :) My neighbor actually is loaning me his old Alcatel phone (3? years old? Running 4.1). He warned me that it wasn't a great phone, but compared to my brick, it's running great! And I REALLY like the size. So I think you are right - I...

Interesting - I definitely hadn't seen that. Love the specs, but looks likes it's going to be over $500? (Though it's not listed on the Sony USA site yet.) Thanks for the suggestion!
