P8 lite or 3rd Gen Moto G for my mom that just dropped her 2nd gen G into the toilet? I'm assuming the p8 is still a lovely device even after factoring in the processor and design of it?

I didn't really know where to ask this question, sorry if this is out of left field. I recently replaced an Android phone from early 2012, which ran 2.3.1 or something ancient. Among other things, I used my phone to store files using USB Mass Storage. Well, apparently that no longer works for reasons. I can still access the files just fine through my OS using MTP, but some specific programs do not want to access files from the a device. I guess it's because being a media device does not grant it a drive number which is needed for the path? I'm honestly not sure. It seems I can't just turn on Mass Storage, and I don't want to make a copy of these files every time a finicky program needs to access them. Any ideas on how to work around this, short of just carrying around a usb stick with those files?

I wouldn't say it's a lovely device, it's just using a non-typical processor and isn't really built for American consumers. Huawei makes good devices but you really can't go wrong with the Moto G. You could also consider the new Blu Life One X 2016.

There's nothing glaringly wrong about them, but they don't stand out either. Biggest issue is the company is circling the drain. Unless the Vive VR headset is a huge hit for them, I have trouble believing they they going to be fielding any new phones by 2017.

Great specs, good screen and battery life, $99 on first release.

I have trouble believing the Vive is going to work out for them considering Valve is a bunch of shitlords wrt OEM partners. Basically they're hosed unless Valve is giving them a huge secret subsidy, and that's not the way Valve seems to intend to operate.

What even happened to them, do they have a shitload of debt or something? While they weren't able to solidly innovate on the flagship end they seemed to be very competent at making solid if unexciting phones, they could have owned the low end market with boring but cheap and solidly built phones.

They had too many variants which led to support issues coupled with bizarre ineffectual marketing. The number of phone variants they would release in a year would make Samsung blush and this is AFTER they said they were going to cut back.

When the m9 came out I found out that after throttling its practically comparable to the m8. All their models seem fine, but they are overpriced compared to the competition. I bought and unlocked developer edition and with custom roms or CyanogenMod I have access to either latest senses from later models or root/beta features from other carriers. Marshmallow/stagefright came out pretty fast. They are good phones, but they have made some bad decisions after the m8.

HTCs pricing is downright mind-boggling sometimes - in the UK their "mid range" SD617 powered One A9 is more expensive than many flagships, including the One M9 on Amazon right now

Just get a used M8 and wait for the next manufacturer of well built phones to come along that will eventually wither away like Nokia and HTC has.

Is there any way to turn off the app optimization notification I get like every day on my s6? Optimizing apps for better battery performance is great and all, but which mongoloid Samsung developer thought it was good idea to notify the user the every day, even when there is nothing for the user to do? It won't let me disable notifications for Smart Manager, so I don't know how to hide/prevent these worthless notifications.

I finally got the update on my Nexus 6 a few days ago. I don't think my phone's possessed now, and it hasn't been much more murderous than usual, but it's possible that eldritch forces are responsible for the slightly better battery life.

Holy gently caress, this. "We can optimize your apps automatically!" Oh cool. Wait, you're already doing this for apps I haven't used in three days? Excellent. Why do you tell me about it every day then?!

Downloaded Marshmallow last night, the doze feature is one of my favorite things about it so. Also my Moto X got a new boot-up animation.

My opinion on doze cooled, if I am not sleeping it doesn't do jack, I have rooted ways of dealing with battery drain and having a bare bones CyanogenMod or GPE edition ROM and only having 100 apps including system apps helps a lot. I hope CM13 stable comes soon, nightlies are kinda broken atm.

Ordered the Nexus 6 for $250 ($265 with tax.) I'm guessing this price point is now reflective of how much it'll generally cost on ebay and such from henceforth (though it's already back to nearly $500 on Amazon for the moment being.) It's going to replace the verizon unlocked version of the Moto X 2nd generation, which worked fine but I did not like as much as the Nexus 5.

The midrange space is really crowded right now but if you've had your eye on one, the 64GB / 4GB RAM ZenFone 2 is down to $269 on Amazon.

I just got my 250 dollar N6, upgrading from a N4. First reaction: "Holy poo poo this phone is gigantic!" To others who had big phone size shock: How did you deal with it? Did it take awhile to get used to?
