Essential Official Android Thread

[ExodusNirvana]

The rumors on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 have been rocking between microSD support and lack thereof in the past weeks. While obviously that's already been decided by Samsung, we have no way of knowing it yet and we're still relying on word of mouth at that point.

So this latest report, coming from Taiwan, claims that the dual-SIM version of the upcoming high-end phablet will indeed support microSD storage expansion. The feature will be implemented in the now increasingly popular way where the microSD card shares a slot with the second SIM - not the best solution if you actually need to use both SIM cards, but single-SIM users will be able to get the coveted memory expansion.

One possible caveat is that the dual-SIM versions of flagships have been reserved to certain markets and notoriously difficult to come by elsewhere, so you may need to resort to non-official channels to acquire one. It is a viable option though, if you absolutely must have that 128GB music collection on you at all times.

Of course, good as it may sound, all this is nothing but a rumor. Had there been a photo of the card tray, we'd be more inclined to believe it, but as it stands now, the best option is to just wait out the 6 days until the official announcement on August 13.

My AT&T S4 is currently upgrading Android

I don't want no problems

What is this?

basically new software in lollipop that gets android camera performance much closer to iphone levels (only possible on newer nexus devices using specific apps at the moment, if i understand correctly). if you're on an n6 and not using a third party camera app, the hdr+ mode in google camera uses the camera2 api

somewhat off topic, my xiaomi piston 3.0 earbuds / in ear monitors arrived yesterday. for ~$18, these are insane, especially with the 3 button remote that's fully functional with android (beware of fakes tho). thought i'd want more sub bass but these sound dope playing hip hop
