Snap Camera HDR. Get the latest APK from the dev himself (it's free if you download it from his XDA thread instead of purchasing from Play Store): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57053096&postcount=2327

Any other camera app that has manual focus that anyone knows about?

Nope, it's impossible to implement it - the API just doesn't support it. The case is exactly the same as with pre-iOS8 camera apps. There didn't exist a single iOS app with truly manual focus because the pre-iOS8 API just didn't support it.

Cool, thanks I'll give it a shot (no pun intended).

My Android System sometimes takes a ton of battery life, I have no idea why. I know on my Note 3 once in a blue moon something just sucks all the battery out of it in 2-3 hours and when I look at battery it says Android System, but beyond that I have no idea what it was.

Sounds like recent update to Google Play services introduced memory leak and battery life issues. As of recent noticed memory usage keep creeping up even when closing all apps and clearing memory.
 
I have both the 6 Plus and the Note 4 (also got an S5 and S4).

I like the integration of all my Apple devices (especially software updates), however if I had to pick one, it would be the the Note 4 - and I will probably sell the iPhone 6 Plus.

I prefer the Note 4 screen, features (definitely a more 'productive' device) and find it more customisable; it also feels better in the hand. I am not a fan of TouchWiz (but it is not that bad), but using Nova launcher, so it is not really problem.

The camera on the Note 4 is better in daylight, however iPhone 6 Plus seems to perform a little better in low light in most cases.
 
I don't currently own both but I have owned both.. I sold my 6+ and bought a Note 4 and have never looked back. The 6+ was slippery in the hand, awkwardly large, and somehow felt like it wasn't adding sufficient value for the compromise of carrying a large device. The Note 4 feels better in the hand, is marginally but noticeably smaller (with a bigger/better display), and takes advantage of the large display. I'm usually the first guy to say that Apple has a more polished product but not this time..

Can't decide whether to run two numbers concurrently or just alternate...

For me..... i found it easier to just use one number. Otherwise you have one phone as your daily driver that you get all of your emails and texts. But the other number kinda get treated like a redheaded stepchild!

Just wondering if you have any issues switching between devices?
Click to expand...

No, it's all good.

Just a matter of switching the SIM between devices. All my services sync via Google, so both devices are always up-to-date.

I'm seriously considering selling the 6 Plus.

Great. A slightly off topic question but do you have a mac? Thats the only thing that really keeps me with the iPhone 6 + - the ability to sync easily etc.

It's never quite as easy as syncing an iPhone to a Mac ... As you won't sync reminders, notes etc,

But you can sync contacts, calendars between them by simply using a Google account.

Music can be synced with either Android File Transfer or an app like iSyncr with iTunes.

However you could move music to Google Play Music and sync your music to that, however if you have a lot of music this may not be fully possible or practical.

Yes, I use a Mac, but all my services are synced via Google.

Any music on my Note 4 is synced via my NAS.
On my iPhone 6 Plus, music is synced via iTunes.

How do you like owning both now? I own both and can't decide which one I want to keep lol. Love both but I feel so comfy with iOS. Love the experience of the note 4. One of them gots ta go:cool:
Click to expand...

I'm the same. They are both fantastic devices and each have their pro's and cons.

I am 99% sure I am going to get rid of my iPhone 6 Plus, but either phone would suit me (I prefer Android to iOS due to customisation).
