I would think the Note line is probably the best overall phone line we've gotten to date. There have been great singular phones, but Samsung seem to have nailed the Note year after year. The Nexus line, on the other hand, has disappointed in some respect throughout the years. This 6P looks to...

It's LP. It's a significant upgrade over KK. Many changes are ones you will not see, but feel.

I could care less when it has a 3300 battery. I'm expecting insane battery life once it gets fully released/had an update or two/gets a custom kernel developed.

Re: Fixed oneplus one, now choosing roms crDroid is very good, very stable. Resurrection Remix has a lot of customizations to it and is also pretty stable. Currently running NuclearSlim and it is outstanding.

Battery was initially significantly better with kitkat, but still very good with LP. Performance is overall better with LP. I believe there has been two firmware upgrades since the initial upgrade to LP, but hard to be sure as I haven't run stock for a long time. I'd absolutely recommend...

You've had your phone for 1 month? See what the fall brings.

To be fair, those "optimisations" mentioned don't really "dumb" the phone down. I had a look through them and they are pretty basic. The optional steps, on the other hand, go a little into dumbing down the phone territory. S6 users looking for better standby time, and are rooted, would be...

My girlfriend has the S6 and gets terrible battery life. There's definitely steps you can take to address that... Many steps if you are willing... But is it worth buying? I would not buy a phone if the expectation is that you must alter your usage or tweak things just so you can get average...

Aside from being slower, how is charging through a computer any different?

You can try manually wiping the battery stats. I don't have my OPO yet, but I would imagine you'll find this option in your custom recovery if you're rooted.

That Edge looks great. Not sure how functional it will end up being in this first iteration, but gotta admit designs are going to start getting creative again over the next few years of curved displays.

Hmm... Hard decision to make. Might have to pull the trigger on a oneplus one as a stop gap til the real deal comes out.

Are you saying no AOSP by small team devs or unlikely to see any releases even from the bigger teams? Always enjoy playing around with CM and PA, among others.

What do you guys think developing will be like on the S6? Even though it won't be running a Qualcomm chip, should I still expect good support?

There's backlash on here and xda, why wouldn't it extend to other places?
