He does make some of the most professional reviews on YOUTUBE.
Thanks for this tip, just installed it and it works well! The icons don't look very good though and they seem to be the same in all themes available for download. Do you know if there's a way to change them? I can't find an option to do it but I might just be daft. Would be so much nicer to have the standard white notification icons that you get on vanilla Android or Dashclock Widget.
EDIT: Confirmed, I am daft. All you had to do was to go into each individual app's setting and change the icon setting to "monochrome"... The only thing that nags me now is that the text/icon alignment is weird and the font doesn't really fit.... But otherwise awesome.

Yeah. I also owe him one for making my girlfriend accept my fetish for touchscreen gadgets at least a tiny bit, she can't stand any of the other tech reviewers but she actually thought he was pretty cool. She even sat out the whole Nexus 5 review and now she's getting one

No i have had all 3 in the last 6 weeks, just the M8 now. Might buy another note 3 though, the first one i got cheap but had been tripped.
Not treated example but Thankfully Chris Nacca has just uploaded one for the M8 & S5
As expected, both fast at opening apps..
Memory issue with reloading apps still present on the S5 whilst the M8 is better at managing memory, even better than N5 in previous test.
....
Now if only we could get Samsung's 16mp camera inside the M8 we then would really have the nirvana of handsets. Sadly we don't. Though I am tempted by the idea of a Google Edition S5
Camera and ability to take pics in swimming pool / under water where I can not use my dslr.
Really nice
tapatalk compresses the image unfortunately though so we're not seeing it in its full glory ----------

Yep... Tapatalk doesn't do photos justice even if it is handy for quick attachments.
Linky for those that want full res viewing on an ipad

I found 1520 on CL for $275 and I am very tempted to get it this weekend! With the 8.1 update and cortana I might be ready for a change.....I'm using my lumia 1520 as my actual phone and the 8.1 makes it feel really slick

He posted some audio and video test along with comparison test. It did very good job. Surprisingly nice audio quality and fast auto focus to boot. M8 strengths are multi tasking speed and build quality. I think, S5 build quality in terms of wear and tear is fine. Being water proof makes its camera more useful than even a dedicated gear. Spouse was using first galaxy phone until recently without any build issues eventually employer replaced with M7. It is not possible to add camera and water proofing to M8. S5 speed is fine for normal use.
I am hoping for price to come down once 32gb model appears. How long does it take for ATT to reduce subsidized price.

This Qualcomm app is for Snapdragon devices. It is an overlay on the lockscreen. It shows your all your notifications, and you can also acknowledge notifications from your lock screen. Further, it studies your phone usage and provides you recommendations on what apps and contacts it thinks you will be using at that point in time. Works well most of the time.
I haven't observed battery drain, but I did have a problem with notifications not showing up. The latest update seems to have resolved that issue.
Just installed it and wow does it make a huge difference. A big gaping performance lapse is now fixed.
Glance and go information is important to me, and Glance helps a ton. Big thanks.
Very surprised Samsung have gotten rid of lockscreen widgets.
I loved it for cbs sports scoreboard
I also use nils lockscreen notifications on my note 3.whuch is great so now likely on the note 4 it will be the same as there will be noway to get notifications on the lockscreen

That's what everyone is saying. There's no option to put widgets on

Looks great to me
I get between 4-5 hours screen time, 1+ day total of my note 3

What brightness do you have it set to?
