Get the first gen XLjfc, say it aint so google. no headphone jack is a dealbreaker. i thought that was the type of douchebaggery only apple could pull off
fuckkk what am i going to do after my nexus 6P craps the bed
Why in the fuck couldn't they shrink the bezels on the Pixel 2 to match the 2XL? Was gonna upgrade my wife's iPhone to the smaller pixel but fuck off google that's a huge goddamn phone for a measly 5" screen

Maybe compared against some skinned piece of shit but I have never had stability issues with stock Android.to be fair I feel like iOS is more stable than android

I feel like I've been noticing this lately, fuck.. not sure why it didn't bother me before. How long before the device goes to 'sleep'?google cloud messaging on android is flawed by design for android > 5.1.1
devices go into 'doze' mode, stopping all services to save battery. it will only wake if you receive a notification that's marked as 'high priority' by GCM
Gmail and Hangouts messages are sent with 'normal' priority, which doesn't wake the phone or give a notification until the handset is woken by other means
the overall effect is that email is no longer instant push on android - it's 'get notification when you check your phone', not 'check your phone when you get a notification'
lots of other things can wake the phone, including motion sensor triggers, so a lot of people don't notice or complain
its not rom or device specific - its the way android and GCM are designed. i can reproduce the issue easily - i have 2 identical phones, and if i put 5.1.1 on one - and anything above that on the other - leave the phones on a table for over half hour and send an email. the 5.1.1 device gets the email notification instantly - later versions dont.
IOS successfully wakes the device and shows notifications instantly though
