    Moto Z Play vs. higher priced phones: What do you sacrifice?

    OP- I bought my Moto Z Play in late August. The phone I had before that was a Samsung Note 5 for 2 years. While I loved the Note- I wanted a change. I would love to have found a Note FE( the 7) with the smaller battery- but could not justify the price. I certainly could not justify the $200...

    For Those Who Say Its Too Big-- "Try It...You'll Like It"!!! (you won't go smaller)

    So I've had my N5 since launch date- and have no regrets. My old ride was a Nexus 5- which I still like due to its simplicity and feel. Back around the time the S6 and the S6E were released- I stopped in and looked at the Note 4, the S6E, and the Nexus 6. They were dummies, and they had the...

    Note 5 Battery life thread

    I deleted Facebook App, and set up a Chrome link to facebook.com on my main screen. It gives me what I want for what limited use of facebook I do. Granted Chrome can be a hog- but nowhere near as bad as the FB App itself! Chris

    Nexus 6P Looking good

    I still have my Nexus 5 sitting in my drawer, and will pull it out and use on the 5th when Marshmallow is released for it(to try it out for a few days). Otherwise my Note 5 is my go to device. I left a GalaxyS3 to get my Nexus 5-32, and immediately loved how "nude" Android was. My Nexus was...

    returning the note 5 for the iPhone 6 S Plus

    I'm not so sure that a couple of weeks is time enough to acclimate yourself to a new OS or phone platform change. As many have said in other forums- the differences between IOS and Android are huge and take time to get used to. After I had my Captivate, and then my Galaxy S3- I decided I wanted...

    Stop Samsung Apps from Auto Update???

    Hi Kids- I know how to turn off auto update from the Play store on Google content. I would rather be prompted and choose WHEN to update- rather than turn on wifi and start having auto update. However- I just turned on wifi, and all my Samsung apps are still auto updating on wifi turn on. How...

    So, now that you've had it for a week or two...

    I got my N5 on launch day at Best Buy trading in my dormant Samsung Captivate. That was probably my main trigger to do it- as the Captivate was worthless- and I had a chance to get 200 of price of Note. I did not need to buy a phone- as I was using a Nexus 5, and was used to the fact of sealed...

    Note 5 Battery life thread

    Spasell- I disabled Google Now as well and believe it helped me too. I've mentioned this in past postings here- that there is a great battery thread in the S6 Forum(I think eraset started it!). I thought I found that disabling the ANT + entries in Apps made a big difference as well. I have no...

    Note 5 Battery life thread

    Its a great phone- I just came from a Nexus5. Before that Captivate, GS II, GSIII. Battery is better than I imagined, and I am not afraid of the cloud IF I need storage. It works for me.
