    Lollipop OTA (GPE)

    Agreed. When I get time, I'll do a clean install to see if that helps. But considering how much has changed, it wouldn't surprise me if a few updates get pushed before this runs "buttery" smooth again.

    Lollipop OTA (GPE)

    Yep. Turned them off. I think its better. Will need more time to see.

    Lollipop OTA (GPE)

    That's about right. Or, it could be all the animations that Google added to Android. I know Apple moved away from overly animated transitions several versions ago, and that helped. I might look to see if that can be turned off. But, yeah. Doesn't seem as smooth.

    Lollipop OTA (GPE)

    Just updated. No issues, so far. WiFi working for me. Update: WiFi did go flaky, but I just forgot the network and reconnected. So far, so good.

    Moto 360 Buying a 3rd party metal band?

    Re: Buying a 3rd party metal band? I think Moto's band interface is custom. If so, that's another negative against it. It looks great, but the Ars review of the internals has turned me off this generation, and I have yet to read anything that says the band is an industry standard. The Asus...

    Moto 360 Reading the Ars Technica article makes me mad at Moto.

    Re: Reading the Ars Technica article makes me mad at Moto. Yup, I'm glad I didn't order. Considering this came out months after Google I/O and other competition, they should have done equal or better. Was all that time spent on the look?

    Asus Zen Watch - May have to rethink the Moto 360

    Ars has an interesting article on the 360 internals. No way I'm getting that. Now waiting to see what Apple or Asus does.

    Asus Zen Watch - May have to rethink the Moto 360

    Moto 360 runtime is approx. 12 hours? Not really thrilled about this. May just wait until next generation. As much as I love bleeding edge, these watches feel underwhelming. I do like the 360 for the clean "roundness" and the wireless charging, though. Zenwatch is the best looking non-round, but...

    Asus Zen Watch - May have to rethink the Moto 360

    Now there's the LG G Watch R. Looks more like my Kennith Cole watch. Not concerned about the light sensor. I always disable the light sensor on my phones as they always seem to struggle to pick a brightness. It's great to get more choices.

    Asus Zen Watch - May have to rethink the Moto 360

    This really looks good for a non-round watch. I think Motorola missed the boat when the 360 was not released after Google I/O. I was excited for it, back then, and would have bought one had it been released. But since it took so long, others have stepped up to the plate. We've got the G Watch R...

    4.4.4 updated

    Got the update too. Nothing noticeable.

    Google I/O: "Moto 360 available later in the summer". Seriously?!?!?

    Just the beauty of it. Round for a watch just looks nicer (to me). All the other ones look like what a tech company would think people want, and for most it may. But since this is something you "wear" it should also look nice, and the Moto 360 is the only one that looks good. Again IMHO.

    Google I/O: "Moto 360 available later in the summer". Seriously?!?!?

    What a blown opportunity.... I signed up on Moto's 360 blog, and have got nothing. And now they can't deliver at Google I/O? The crowd even groaned about that one. LG GWatch to be available (pre-order?) later today!!!!

    M8 Google Play Edition Initial Thoughts

    Have to say how I'm really liking this phone. I switched to Android last year with the M7, and while I liked it, I just never got the feeling the phone was "polished". The M8 has really given me that "I've got a great phone" feeling. From the battery life, to the better body, to the better...

    Just got 4.4.3 update notification

    One day in with 4.4.3 and my battery is still great. I know I could get two days out of this easily. With the previous One (M7), I had to top it off to get a full day.

    Just got 4.4.3 update notification

    I think it does because I can change the focus within a picture which I think is what you're looking for. It also has the motion based controls, so I can pick it up and double tap to wake it up instead of pushing the power button. I really never even tried the Sense version. I ordered the DE...

    Just got 4.4.3 update notification

    Mine is DE which I converted to a GPe. Installation was pretty darn quick. Lost SU, but that was expected. Dialer is updated. I already had great battery life, so I'm not sure I'll even notice.

    Sold Out

    I knew it. :mad: The day I got my Developer Edition. Oh, well. I converted it to GPe, and I travel out of the country tomorrow so it all worked out. Love this phone. I even had the M7 which I thought was nice. This is really good and battery runtime is nearly twice the M7.
