Just gotta read and read. Same thing with sneakers. Read and read and you pick up things over time. I gained my entire sneaker knowledge just by reading dude's posts on NT since 2005

What is this g2 unlock screen that keeps being mentioned?
I'm with you Antidope. When specs are discussed, such as snapdragon, quad core etc, I keep on scrolling. Dudes discuss it with so much passion and defend with so much conviction.

I really like the carbon fiber look that Motorola added to the back of the droids. Gives them a very classy touch imo. I was satisfied with the build of my droid 1 back in the day actually. Sturdy metal backing and it felt good to the touch. Kinda wish I still had it just to toy with every now and again. Ended up trading it in for a $35 radio shack gift card that I purchased a bunch of useless items with.

I don't think most the stuff in this thread is confusing at all. If you guys need clarification we all are glad to add it. Go look at a thread on XDA and you'll definitely be lost though.
As far as new ways to improve the phones for me I just need an unbreakable screen. I hate using cases but I just can't do a cracked screen. I'm also confused how the Droid Maxx has its battery tech but nothing else has even begun to rival it. It would be great if there was more adoption of existing tech like NFC, Miracast, Android Beam etc. because these are useful features but horribly underutilized.
Basically for me I don't need new, just refine & master the tech that already is floating out there

Well just got my G2 in today and this phone is
Even though the G2 is 5.2 inches it doesn't feel huge. Almost perfect size imo. The screen is probably the best I've seen on a phone so far. The lock screen is a cool little feature too, kinda addictive
The buttons on the back takes a little getting used to but after a day of using it, it feels normal now. I can actually see myself keeping this phone for a while.
All I need now is a case for this beast. What are my fellow G2 owners rocking with
I've been trying to decide on a case for months now.
. I'd like to see what others have gotten too.

That g2 looks
I wasn't sure about it at first either but its got some good features and its really customizable if you're into that. Only thing that I'm finding a little bit annoying is that the front buttons don't disappear when watching certain videos...seems like if its not a youtube video the buttons stay on the screen.

I use nothing but widgets on my 3 homescreens, often used apps are kept in the drawer and or my swipepad launcher. If i dont use it, I'll just pull it up via Google phone search.

Edit: nevermind, I realized what he meant.
they do stay on the screen. I'm able to zone it out pretty easily though. I don't think it's a make or break issue.

Man so AT&T KINDA screwed me on an upgrade they were giving me but I have it next month and my bill is 75 bucks a month now
So brahs, I'm looking at either the N2 to save some dough or the G2, N3 or Nex5. I'm feeling the G2 more and more but if AT&T pisses me off and I walk, I can take the Nex5 where ever.
Is the N2 truly considered outdated tech? I have a GS3 thats processor is starting to fry out so I don't want to make the mistake on another year old phone you know?

Does anyone on here use a Macbook? My Macbook won't recognize my G2 when I plug it in with the USB. Is this an Android problem and is there a way around it? I'm tired of not being able to get music onto this thing.

I'm going to T-Mobile and copping the G2 this week. I already know the N5 is not gonna have the same exact panel as the G2 and damn sure isn't gonna have that 3000mah battery. Whenever the N5 does drop I'm quite sure a Kit Kat ROM won't be too far off for the G2

Da N2 is far from outdated. If it is already marked down then cop it. Still a good buy.Man so AT&T KINDA screwed me on an upgrade they were giving me but I have it next month and my bill is 75 bucks a month now

Sadly most droids aren't compatible with, macs. I use ES file explorer and you'll have to use it over FTP on WiFi. Type the ftp address from your phone onto your Mac browser and you can transfer anything over the air.
Those are the faint dots that's on most AOSP ROMs. Not bad at all. I thought y'all were talmbot the full nav buttons. That would've been a deal breaker.I actually don't have that problem on mine.

So there is no other way to transfer files on my droid unless I have wifi if I'm using a Mac? I find that hard to believe...

You know the phone already went through the FCC right. The battery is 2300 mah.i have LOW faith in there being a "MAX" version of the Nexus 5...
like... 3000 mah battery... for $400... on a NEXUS....
that just sounds too good to be true, fambs...
i read on XDA that the max version is all rumors...
here's my prediction on the nexus 5 spec sheet
2 gb ram...
2700 mah batter across the board.
16 gb for 329... 32 gb for 379...
kit kat... hangouts will be the new integrated messaging app... but you can still use go sms and handcent... just wont have the ability to text from whatever location...
hangouts will be like the imessaging platform...
release on october 29-31...
Im waiting for reviews to see if Kit Kat has a power saving mode built in. Otherwise Im going with the Note 2/3 or One Maxx.
Charging the phone throughout the day is annoying.

Yea but that G2 price vs N5 price I'm going N5 just off that I will work around bat power unless its true N5 32GB will have 3000mah on it...

The specs for Nex 5 are all rumors for now but I rather go with no matter what No SD less Mah.But from the 3 phone you mention I would go with HTC 1 Max way way way better phone build...
