Need a new phone

[Scrumhalf]

Did you see a big difference when your old phone upgraded from 5.x to 6.0.1? I know that my Moto X on 5.1 loses charge even when it is idle at a significantly faster rate than the Nexus. I haven't had any phone hold charge as well as the 5X does.

I don't notice much of a difference from the nexus 5. Then again I had 6.0.1 on that also.

Operational power is going to be dominated by the hardware - the processor, the radio and the display. You are probably not going to see a huge difference in that when you are actually using the phone. But quiescent power - the power draw when the phone is idle is going to be influenced by how well the OS can shut things down that are not being used. And I think the deep sleep features in 6.0.1 are working pretty effectively.

Seems about average to me.I dunno, im not noticing the amazing battery life that everyone is talking about. It's good but still doesn't last me a full day.

[Scrumhalf]

Power management with 6.0.1 is incredible. I unplugged phone from charger at 8am. Left phone on but didn't use it until now and at 1115am, charge is at 97%. Less than 1% per hour power consumption when phone is on but not being used.

I think it's called Miller's Crossing. Some Mafia flick.

Done with my phone. It has officially kicked the bucket. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (the original one from 2yrs ago). Its been acting up the past 2 months. Annoying things really, but nothing serious. However, today it took a shit on me. Nothing wants to work, phone cannot update because every time it restarts it freezes before it can load. The battery dropped 50% charge in 2hrs. Fuckin thing keeps freezing, acting slow, and randomly restarting.

I'm convinced phone companies are designing hardware and software to fail in a year to 2 years. My Note 2 did this as well. The only phone that didn't was my HTC Titan, and that thing still functions.

Ordered the Nexus 6P Gold 64GB through Amazon. It was $499 free 2 day shipping and I am able to finance it for 6 months interest free.

Signed up for Google Fi and got the 4GB data plan and selected 1 day shipping for my SIM card which came to $15. I'm honestly hoping everything comes in by Saturday, if not Monday at the latest.

Agree with you on the failing after 2 years thing. Slimy fucks

Boom. Really good graphics score for a phone.

No, my son will use my old line.

Here's my situation.

My wife's phone and my old phone line on the Moto X whjch my son plans ti use are on AT&T mobile share plan. It costs $100/mo. for 15 GB of data plus $15 per line. My company has a 26% discount deal with AT&T that applies to the data, so the two lines cost me 74+30 or $104. If I port my new Fi number also to this shared plan I will only pay $15 more for an additional line and share the 15 GB which should be more than enough for the 3 lines.

If I stay on Fi, it would cost me 104+30, so it doesn't make sense for me.

[Bouncer]

You gonna use 2 phones or what?

[Scrumhalf]

I'll probably port out of Fi and back to AT&T this weekend. Fi works great but it's cheaper for me to be on the family plan.
