How'd you get an invite? My brother would kill for one. And getting him one would get him to stop RT'ing contests to win an invite in my timeline.

I think he's taking advantage of the final days of OT...

That thing is huge. I'd have to use a man purse to carry that phone around.

Lose the skinny jeans. I carry the Note with a full-on Otter case in my front pocket. No problem. I'm now free from my macbook during meetings.

Maybe you would have better luck asking your question on, you know, an Android forum. There are a ton of them out there. Or is that where you post your questions about the 4-3 over defense and the subtleties of the tack-over formation?

I'm with you on that. I'd like to upgrade to something better than my 4s, I just don't feel like carrying around anything bigger.

The data don't support that claim. Overall Android is more stable than Apple OS, but it can vary due to the plethora of manufacturers and variations in hardware.

Android is a pickup bar that resembles Star Wars creature cantina. The matchup of OS and HW can be exceptionally ugly. But this thread does remind me why the geekiest gravitate to Android... because they love these kinds of conversations.

My android rom experience is limited to bricking a new phone I bought for my girlfriend a few years ago.

Try Mahdi Rom, it's excellent! It's AOSP and feature packed. It has most of the Slim, CM (Theme engine), and cherry picks from most of the popular roms. It's stable, gets updated about once every 1-2 weeks and the developer is a real cool guy. I used to flash my N5 with everything under the sun until I started using it, it's kinda cured my flashing cumpulsion.

...moment.
Especially when whatever you did with your phone somehow cured you of the kind of dysfunctional behavior that usually results in indecent exposure charges. Anyway, hoping you made a complete and clean break with your past by burning your trench coat...

I take it most people subscribe to the cult of apple?
I have a Galaxy S4. I still have no idea what the shit is going on here, much like, I suspect, the vast majority of Android users.
August 21st, 2014 at 3:43 PM ^
I have the S5 on Verizon, so I'm locked down because of the bootloader. I would use xda developers. When I was doing rom switching and the sort, I got all the help and information you could possibly ask for from there. One of the largest forums on the web.

I am interested in your observations/experiences. I am just hanging with my year-old LG G2 although I am very happy with it. But the One looks like a great phone.

I used Cyanogen mod for a while to extend the life of my Galaxy Nexus, but have never heard of SlimKat. My MotoX runs so smooth with stock Kitkat I haven't felt any desire to root it, even though there are definitely a couple Cyanogen features I miss.
I am very picky when it comes to my desktop PC -- I built it from parts, it's all extremely customized, etc. -- but I just want my phone to work without too much worry. I've thought about going back to Apple for that reason. Android's customizability is great, but straight out of the box it still lacks some basic functionality that Apple's had for years.

If you have an extra invite to give out I was just wondering if I could recieve one.

i have a little experience but nothing helpful for you since the only rom i have used is cyanogen mod. the custom rom allowed me to avoid smashing my droid x2 back in the day. ive switched to windows phone since, and i like it a lot.

I would have loved to go for a One+ One, but it's waaaaay too big and I'm on Sprint (the upside, I have Sero so I'm not in any hurry to leave Sprint... even with the sucky network). I'm waiting for the Android Silver annoucements and hoping there'll be something good at this point.
One a side note - why can't Google give up their hatred for external storage?

entire thread.
Did not understand a single word of it.
And now i have a headache.
August 21st, 2014 at 5:53 PM ^
(a baby-boomer born in the mid-50's), but I still understood a good share of the posts in this thread, despite the snark I posted just a little earlier. I'm even fairly well-informed about the OP's subject, the One+ One Phone, including being aware of how their system of acquiring one involves an "invite" from a current owner. From what I've learned, it's a great phone!
Although this thread is already buried on the 2nd page, I'm hoping to still get some advice here.
I just recently wrecked my Android (Moto Atrix HD) that I bought thru AT&T in Oct. '12 (now less than 2 months away from being out-of-contract). Other than substandard battery life, I had no problems with the phone, and would consider buying another, though I'm leaning toward a Moto X instead. Looking right now at unlocked Androids because I don't want to be locked into a contract anymore.
So as to not make this post too wordy, I'm simply gonna ask: what other low-to-midrange-priced phones do the rest of you Android users recommend that I consider purchasing? I'm pretty damn good with technology for an old guy, but there seems to be hundreds of phones out there to choose from, and I want something that'll last me a couple years or more. And I don't have to have all the latest bells and whistles, just something that's gonna be dependable and reliable and fairly durable.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a Moto X and I'm very happy with it. It's much smoother and has a lot better battery life than the Galaxy Nexus I replaced. And the voice commands are very handy. Only potential issue is future support - Motorola has only guranteed 18 months of updates, and they phone is already a year old. But it's available for cheap right now with the X+1 coming out soon.
