Nice, I got the LG G3 (ATT variant). Actually won it, and the LG G watch from a raffle on Android Headlines with like 60 slick wrap skins. Handed down the Nexus 5 to the lady and my son uses the Nexus 4 for games and youtube shit.

Waiting for an official Lollipop release on this fucker though. Not a fan of the roms other than CloudyG3 (stock lg based, debloated and optimized) because they don't have access to the camera's drivers and so the quality is just murdered.

yeah that's the Phone my girl has it's pretty nice. I had the previous LG model and was going to get the new one, but then I read all the reviews of the M8, saw it in person and was like fuck LG lol. One of the major things for me is battery life, with my old LG I had to charge that shit by mid day, with this more powerful phone I don't have to charge it at all until I go to sleep and I'm on the damn phone 24/7

Have you seen the Dot View cover? Shit is $50 but I found it for $20 on buyandroid.com i think the website is. I've never been impressed by a cover but this is pretty innovative having magnets in there so it had all these displays, animated if u want, shows calls, speaker etc and u can talk through it, responds to gestures etc. Really cool add on from HTC.

I got the m8 as well and it came with that cover but it never worked properly for me. I tried 2 separate dot covers on both mine and my girls phone and all combinations the cover wouldn't stay shut against the screen

That's the thing- you have to let it break in. Takes about two to three days. I read about that when I got it so I knew going in u just have to let it break in just by using it, having it in your pocket and when u put ur phone down on a table or whatever when it's charging put it face down. Once it does it closes perfectly. trust.

Want to get s6 or s6 edge but i feel edge would fit terrible in every case and be so easy to break since the glass sticks out way past the bezel. And pretty annoyed that they dont have removable batteries anymore.

Phone technology is fairly stagnant right now, so i would wait it our til the end of the year to see what else they are coming up with. These 4K screens are over kill and arent great for battery life. Im looking for more phones to get on the X64 train so we can further the technology going forward. Thats the bottle neck at this point. And bigger batteries...tired of having a whole day go by and i need to charge 2/3's through it. Its ridiculous.
