Just did the art switch on the g3. Seems to be quicker now. Or it might just b me.
 
Thought I'd post this. Grabbed an otterbox defender online today and they are having a promotion with every purchase you get a free watertight storage box. (mrsp $20.00)

Pretty cool. :smokin
 
What exactly is this ART thing for android. What are the advantages and what does it do?
 
I was just wondering, are Android phones buggy like most other Google made products like Google Chrome and YouTube? I also hate that they leave known bugs often for years before fixing if they even ever do fix them, and often when they finally do fix a bug a few updates later they re-add old bugs.

My number one reason for avoiding Android phones is the amount of bugs in other Google made products so I simply assume their phones are just as buggy as their other products.
 
I was leaning towards the g3 instead of the m8 lately but I keep hearing about the g3s lag. Hopefully its only happening with a few phones or the m8 wins.

Android and Google are 2 different things. Yes there are Google devices but those also are not made by Google.
 
M8 holding up like a champ. 3 months plus .No case. Dropped it like crazy only minorrr chipping n the corners.

Battery life and performance is unflappable.

I do have some surface scratches on the screen that piss me off tho from keys and tight chinos :smh

you probably was the worst person that could of have received the free phone. first he took a little while to get it to you and you put his name on blast and now we hear you treat the phone like ****. smh
 
My biggest concern with the M8 is that it came out four months ago and I'm still not sold on the "ultrapixel" tech
if you like to view pictures outside of the phone screen itself... then dont settle for it. ultrapixels are trash and the camera is the achilles heel of both the htc m7 and m8.

I was sure Android (I'm talking about the OS, not the physical phone devices) was made by Google and just searched it and it says:

"Android is a mobile operating system (OS) based on the Linux kernel that is currently developed by Google."
 
Upgrade is next month. Used the M8 in the store, feels awkward to hold and currently I have a G2 with a case :lol

Probably get the G3, like the idea of a removable battery (since that always seems to go after a yr).
 
Verizon G3 already being rooted :smokin

Adaway and removal of bloatwear plus some of the great features LG includes makes this phone god.

Yeah this phone is growing on me. We will see if I keep it though. If it was rooted on a stock ROM - Boat it would be off the chain completely
 
It's still snappy, it has the occasional hiccup every now and then but for the most part it's smooth and fast.

Battery life for the first 2 weeks was amazing but it has def declined. Still good but not as good as it was.

I love the phone 100% except for the camera and wish it wasn't as tall as it is but I understand it's for the speakers

A lot of reviews praise the m8 on its design and performance. How is it holding up for the people that have the one

Yes, but the hardware can play a factor as well in "speed".

No use comparing them to "Google media products" like Chrome and Youtube. Don't even know how comparing electronic devices to websites works.

Chrome is laggy? It's the best browser out there.

You probably the worst person to comment. I alrdy had an M8 before the giveaway. Hence the 3 month comment.

Also 7 weeks isnt a little bit of time. Also you dont kno the details

Again. Your the worst one to comment.


U mad or naw?

I never mentioned speed or lags, I said bugs (for example the context menu key never worked in Chrome despite multiple reports of this on their forums). Another bug on YouTube that's really annoying is that clicking the video itself to do play/pause only works if you're moving th mouse at the same time or if the mouse moved in the previous faction of a second, for me that uses a trackball it's incredibly annoying as I always have to move the ball before I can play/pause by clicking the video.

Edit: Unbelievable, they seem to have finally fixed the mouse move play/pause issue, it took months if not over a year though.

You are the laughing stock of NT but you really want to go there?

7 weeks for a free phone? Does that give you the right to blast him?

My dude please be quiet ....
