tmobile is a meme that only works if you're in a city
This is why I went to the iphone, I loved android so much ever since the Tmobile G2, but man I just couldn't stand it not being snappy at all times. I normally don't mind stuff like that but with a mobile device, the annoying factor is amplified because you just wanna check something really quick.
Also it's definitely touchwiz, I really wish that when you first boot the phone it has the option for stock android instead of the manufacturer skin.

Good for T-Mobile, but they have a long way to go to catch up the fuck huge monster that is Big Red.
>>54573637
This is true. Still doesn't compete with Verizon's ridiculous network.
I had T-Mobile for a month, and it was pretty good when it worked, but when I went home for a break, my phone was showing connection to USA Comm-Net because I was out of the normal coverage area. Meanwhile, my brother on Verizon was showing 2 bars of LTE. I'm just waiting for them to continue improving so I can get off Verizon again :|

Problem with Nexus is it's ugly as fuck. Both of them.
>>54573476
>he fell for the "more RAM, less lag" meme
>>54573476
Android's fundamental flaw is the language it was written in, which is Java. I'm not an Apple user, but we know that iOS is lag free and offers a better day to day performance than Android. That's because it was written in C (C++, Objective C). What needs to happen to Android is a complete overhaul. Every new Android device should be a 64 bit one, but the main thing that should be changed is the language in which it's written in - meaning that Android should be rewritten in the future, but in C. This is highly unlikely, but we can hope. Here's a better explanation with examples: https://youtu.be/TDBTiwjTT0k.
Z1c, two years old, no lag. Ever.

>s2 with MM
>no lag whatsoever
I also use the s6 which is smooth as fuck now. No lag (it was insane before mm though).
>>54575724
It's not really about that. I think it has more to do about animation speeds and overall smoothness. Android has huge fps drops in certain areas of the UI, despite all the processing power and the RAM it has.
>on the same planet you walk and breathe on, there are human beings that actually buy carrier phones
Is this some kind of pajeet joke? People can't be this severely retarded, can they?
>>54575760
>Android has huge fps drops in certain areas of the UI
sure, if you're still on android 2.x
>>54575760
My nexus 4 runs smooth as butter m8. No drops anywhere in the ui. There is an assortment of other bugs though, fuck google
>>54575688
But Android is written in C++
>>54575775
>being locked to a carrier
land of the free™
>>54575791
Sadly, only parts of it are.
>>54575779
It's still present, even on Marshmallow. Just take a look (around the 16 minute mark is what I'm talking about): https://youtu.be/TXUFw2ecCYs.
A 500% increase in performance doesnt mean shit compared to optimized software, I.E AOSP, iOS etc
People talk about touchwizz etc being bloat, maybe in regards to ram but it's usually poor kernel implementation, slow emmc or a mixture of the two that causes subjective lag.
I'm pretty sure advances in mobile processors are eaten up by increasing screen resolutions a lot of the time. We've gone from Android phones having 320 x 480 screens to 1440p and even 4k screens. Hopefully things will change now that pixel densities are so high you literally can't notice increases from here on out, so advances in processing power will go more towards powering the OS and applications than rendering higher screen resolutions.
But yeah, I'm getting kinda tired of Android myself. My Nexus 6p is generally snappy, but it suffers from the occasional slowdown and I'm wondering if I'd be better off getting an iPhone next time. Last time I used an iOS device was when I had the first generation iPod touch though kek.

I removed some of the meh Cyanogenmod applications and features, just shit I would never use, but otherwise it's great. All the extra features the old CM offered, and some new ones, while at the same time being on the "latest" Android version.
Only issue I have is the way they handle external storage and stuff now in Marshmallow. It's all done through the Settings application, and applications that used to be able to handle it don't seem to even recognize USBs anymore. I probably just need to look into it more, but that's my only complaint. You can't copy files to the USB in the settings application, only from!!

I've been living outside the US for many years. I've never used AT&T or Verizon (I used Virgin Mobile for my phones prior to moving)
>>54579869
Both companies lock down their shit so hard that even the combined effort of thousands of pajeets cannot unlock them. Verizon is just more skillful and doing this than AT&T.
Of course if you're happy with leaving some bloatware and just disabling the rest then you'll probably be okay, but I don't like that.
Also don't support Samsung.

The fuck are you doing to get that good battery life? I can get about a day off mine but just barely. I don't even do anything resource-intensive on it, I basically just listen to music (wired, so no bluetooth), browse the Internet, and text. No games, even. Multiple sources say my battery is perfectly healthy. Is it because I'm on KitKat still? Tried the stock 5.0 and 5.1 as well as some other Roms including a 6.0 one but hated the UI.

>>54577709
>>54578102
How about we say this instead. If you're not computer literate enough to tweak some settings then Android isn't for you. If you're too lazy then shell out the money, nobody is going to stop you from falling for the meme. But we are going to laugh at your stupid ass when you pretend you're superior.
I always buy older flagships, 1-2 years old, and I pay $125-200 for them. Sometimes I use custom roms, sometimes I make the best of stock. Everything I need runs fine and lag is only occasionally an issue.
I've been on the Korean variant of the LG G2 with the SD card slot and removable battery for more than a year. It's gotten pretty beaten up so I just bought a brand new Galaxy S5 and I'm just waiting for it to come in the mail. I'll spend some time tweaking it and finding the best setup for my needs. Not having to waste a few hours of my time is not worth spending $400-500 more for a meme phone, or worse yet being locked into a shitty contract with a provider and spending lots of money for the same thing I can get for an MVNO. That shit adds up. I could afford it, I've even considered it, but why should I? I can think of better things to do with that extra $50 each month.

When will this meme die? The only people who go >LOL LE TOUCHWIZ MEME GREENTEXT are the people who either haven't used it, or haven't used it since Kitkat.
Marshmallow Touchwiz is fucking great and probably the best OEM skin available for any phone. Obviously stock android would be better but Touchwiz is damn good these days, enough so to the point that Google is starting to incorporate Touchwiz features into Android N.
>>54574207
yeah... that's a lie
>>54573476
It's a shit Java ripoff running on an OS that's a clone of a 1970s mainframe, and all this has a purpose which is to spy on you.
Any phone calling, gaming, or web browsing or 'app' use you engage in is simply a secondary, tacked on function designed to keep you entertained enough to build up a complete profile of your habits.

I'm the first guy.
I have stamina mode on all the time, only use WiFi or roaming when I need to use it, screen on minimum etc etc.
Yesterday (didn't screenshot, so take me with a grain of salt) I was on 1 day 11 hours of use with 6.5 hours of screen time at 50% battery.
I'm also rooted with 4.4.4, nothing special but I only run OS and music in the background, everything else stops when I turn off my screen.
My mate with a z5c reports similar, maybe slightly less time, than I but I don't know what he does. I do know he NEVER looks at his fucking phone though..... God damn it's hard to contact him.
>>54581306
Oh! There IS an issue with the Z battery however, related to another thread about lithium batteries.....
I ran an experiment a while ago, after my phone started dying in a day or less of use...... If you charge your phone battery with the wrong charger (wrong amps) you WILL damage your battery and reduce its life considerably.
The only way fix that is buy a new $30(au) battery and replace it.
It's easy to do, but say goodbye to waterproofing (unless you send it back to Sony, they'll keep it going).

More like, your phone is probably full of shit bloatware, and or is a Samsung Device using the shit slow Touchwiz launcher... meaning, you would have to root your phone to get all the bullshit off of it the manufacturer wants to spam you with. You're right you shouldn't have to root, but the manufacturer also shouldn't have to load bullshit software on your phone that does not allow itself to be uninstalled.

My Nexus 5 was awesome and never lagged, though my Nexus 9 was really fast and awesome, it did have weird lag sometimes. I hear different people complaining about phones I've had zero problems with and it makes me assume they have a bunch of bullshit apps and games on their device... leading to lag/crashes/reduced battery life/etc. I did root my G4 but it was mostly because I wanted to unlock it... I'm still running the carrier version of Marshmallow on it. Anyone with a Samsung device should expect to deal with lag and shit unless they replace the touchwiz launcher.

I've been using an aftermarket charger that think is fine, but I'll check it against the stock charger.
