Would love to try a Nexus for once!

Yep. I've always ran my batteries down and have yet to have one degrade to the point that I've said, wow, I think it's time to get a new one. To each their own. I'm not going to say that there aren't ways to make batteries last longer, but who cares. It's a $20 battery that's meant to be used...

Re: Just ordered a 5.5" Idol 3 I believe you're right on the wakelocks - actually, when I first got the phone, I couldn't find any spot in the graphs where it ever wasn't awake. It did settle down with those, but the battery didn't improve much. I seemed to get some improvement using...

Just thought I'd update here! I still really enjoy the phone. It's an excellent device and would serve anyone very well at this point in time. I did some comparisons with my Note 4 just to see what the premium of the higher end device gets you, and it's honestly not much. I did find a few...

I haven't had any issues with the notification LED but it doesn't have any built in customization or anything. I've only ever seen it light up white. I don't really care for them, but this one is noticeable but non intrusive. The one on the Note 4 was too bright, this one isn't too bad :) it...

Absolutely it would! I seriously love this phone. I recently started a new job that's an hour away with the fastest way through google maps being much better than using my car's GPS, so I've been using the GPS on the phone like crazy this last week. Today I noticed that with the screen off most...

I don't blame you. Having used it for a couple of days now, I'm really impressed! It would have been cool to see a version of it released with something like a Snapdragon 808, OIS and 3 or 4GB RAM to compete with the traditional flagships, I think it would hold up really strongly against them...

Re: Just ordered a 5.5" Idol 3 Oops! Interesting, didn't realize that. Samsung didn't have the adjustable auto brightness on the Note 4, I forgot that was a Lollipop feature!

Re: Just ordered a 5.5" Idol 3 Awesome info there, thank you sir! I got the phone this morning and haven't had much time to play with it yet, which is what I'm doing now. Just starting to get things set up. So far, I'm realllllly impressed with the device. More than I expected to be, for...

Hey all, I just ordered an Idol 3 (5.5") from Amazon with free one day shipping, just figured I'd drop a thread off here. This will be my fourth Android device; in the past I've had an HTC One X (AT&T), 2013 Moto X (AT&T), and a Note 4 (AT&T). I've been having a lot of glitches with my Note 4...

case + screen protector for the device's entire life is definitely the way to go for best selling price :)

i've been using mine with no case or screen protector since i got it in early december. i have maybe 3 or 4 microscratches, can't see them except in perfect lighting with screen off. i usually prefer to use screen protectors but can't stand the halo from curved glass, had the same problem with...

the only things about the note 4 that i like better than my iphone 5 are the display (size, resolution and color accuracy) and battery life. it's otherwise just different, some things on the iphone were a lot better and other things on the note 4 are better. i like how open android is, but i'll...

i started noticing that it was updating itself (not through the play store) the a couple weeks ago as well, although it hasn't caused me any problems. i've also seen instagram do this as well. think i'm going to get rid of both of them, not a big fan of things being updated without permission.

i'd probably pick one up if they have a decent battery in it this time, i had a 2013 moto x and really enjoyed the experience, but the battery life was just a bit short of my needs, so i ended up with a note 4 towards the end of last year which has been great for battery, but i do miss the stock...
