one of the best things i ever did was uninstalling the app and just logging in through the browser if i had to. fb doesn't give a shit about android

I want this
meow Google Messages is good although I'm not a fan of their new attachment layout. It's a step backwards and doesn't seem to display all of my gifs in the selection screen.
I hope someone uploads the Star Wars wallpapers and theme from that limited 5T so regular rebel scum 5T owners can enjoy them too.

Actually LOL

Don't take the recently pushed OS 4.7.5 update first as they patched this lmao

Is the Galaxy Note 8 a good phone? My S7 Edge fought the leg of my desk at work and lost.
I am thinking of moving from Verizon to T Mobile (bringing the wife along) and they have a BOGO on Samsung phones (which I have liked)
For me it is between the S8 + and Note if I were to go Samsung ....

Dang, it feels like the S8 came out yesterday. I was going to wait a couple of months for the V30 to come down in price, but I guess I will be now looking at the Snapdragon 845 phones as well.
Is there a good tempered glass cover? Also, what about a case?
not really. curved screen woes.
There are a billion cases because samsung is popular. I prefer spigen because they are like $10.
yep. that and the rugged armor are the 2 cases i tend to get for every phone lol. Spigen somehow figured out the balance of form factor and drop protection.
S8+? Nope
Note 8? You may get lucky since the edges are a tad bit less curved.
Case for the Note 8? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074GB5QST/?tag=era0f0-20
Xiaomi and Hawaii both in talks with at&t and Verizon according to Bloomberg.
The game is on.
The game is on.
As a long-time Verizon customer, I would love to have some less-expensive, mid-tier phones to choose from.
Rumor is it's only ATT and it's only Huawei:
Yeah at&t probably is easier. They need some Qualcomm modem for CDMA which means a new model. Maybe for p11.
Also dang.
Someone posted this on reddit for their pixel xl on 8.1 that moved the nav buttons a bit.
I started seeing image retention on mine so started using nav bar apps to change it to the color of the open app. This should be a setting in stock Android.Yeah at&t probably is easier. They need some Qualcomm modem for CDMA which means a new model. Maybe for p11.
Also dang.

My has that too but it's not as noticeable on mine. Image retention was way worse when I owned the 6P
It's baffling it took Google this long to start doing stuff on their rom. Nexus 6 was 2014!
Amoled isn't some new fangle tech

Google is going to be giving away a lot of free Pixel 3 XL to people sending in Pixel 2 XL for warranty replacement.
I should buy a cheap Pixel 2 XL after the price crashes just to upgrade it for free to Pixel 3 XL when the time comes.
Also dang.

Nononono, this can't be. This doesn't happen on good Samsung displays and is just an AMOLED myth from 2012!
It takes the Samsung displays at least a year to show any visible burn-in of static elements like the notification bar. These phones have been available for a few weeks. Those displays are going to be absolutely ruined after a year.
Knowing my luck, my 2 XL will be just fine like my 6P. Actually, I'm fine with that as long as they keep the same sweet trade-in price.
My 6P still has no battery issues.
If the P-OLED display behaves anything like the watches do, it might be that the burn-in disappears after a few days. But that might also not be the case, I never kept a watch face for longer than 3 days so the burn-in wasn't permanent. Never tested how long until the image retention actually stuck.
I'm not seeing any burn-in on my launch Pixel XL. Is there something jacked up about the Pixel 2 models that's leading to burn-in/image retention, or am I blind?
Also, I took a few weeks off from the Chrome Beta app, and they've apparently returned everything to the top? That's depressing.

I wasn't using the beta, so how do you mean? Did they move the address bar to the bottom?
If so, glad they changed it back. Kinda hate it on the Samsung browser.
Different tech. Yours is an AMOLED, the XL2 has a Plastic-OLED.
Bring up a white screen, you should at least see some of the fixed elements as shadows. I did on my R.
Samsung and LG use different terms for identical technology.

That article makes assumptions, and even if they are right, they are only talking about the curved displays for Samsung.
So as my 5x finally succumbed to the rebooting issue and I expected repairs to take a good while I picked up a used iPhone. Surprised how many things I miss. In a way it's like going back in time.
That said, it does not suffer from the Bluetooth issues I've had with android phones syncing with my blood glucose metre.
Turned out of course my 5x has been repaired (took 5 days) so I'll have both.

Someone told me today there is only apple phones in the world rest of them are not good and worth owning. I asked him reason for this. He could not provide one.

So I played with the Essential phone. Thing is on fire sale in Canada lol. Am I missing something on why everyone's hating on it? Design looks good, screen looks good, specs seem good, camera is shite but it's crazy cheap so whatever.
The Essential phone debuted at $700, it has a shitty notch, and the camera was much worse than it is now. At the fire sale price it's an amazing bargain but there's a reason it's being fire-saled in the first place.
As few as 50,000 Essential phones have been sold, making it one of the biggest flops of 2017.

Really curious to find out more info on the S9.
So far it really just seems like a slightly refined S8 with better finger print sensor placement and (hopefully) dual cameras on the S9+.
Guess I don't really know what to look forward to in 2018 phones other than the basic incrimental uogrades. More efficient/longer battery life? Super fast charging? Faster Retina scanning? Mind reading Bixby?

Yeah, I ended up being given a 6S from work and man, things like the time to draw in the home screen from animation just kill me. That and considering all I need it for is calls and email, notifications still blow hard.
Mostly for me it's googly things, its also LastPass which really is gimped on iOS compared to android.
Even getting all my contacts over was a hassle. Not sure how I'll keep my contacts synced between this and google.
