Bixby Voice went live today. After using it for an hour:
Sounds like they should have teamed up with Nintendo and their bullshit online voice chat app

Did a factory reset on my 6p. 1st one since I've gotten it. Yeah, it resurrected my phone

Get Disscord then PM for a link to join our merry band of posters who chat there from GAF.
I would not use Firefox on that device, myself. Samsung Internet will be unambiguously faster.
Otherwise, I would always recommend using Google Play Music and uploading your cloud collection from iTunes on your PC/Mac if it's available in your country. I'd use a different launcher like Nova or Action Launcher. I'd grab MX Player for video playback, a password manager (your preference), Google Duo, and ArkTube from XDA Developers (it's not on the Play Store) for YouTube. Other apps, it depends what you use. Games wise, I liked Solitarica a lot (it's free with a single IAP to unlock the whole game and that's it) and it's not too demanding hardware wise.
Could still though. Batteries are flammable. I'd recommend everyone to avoid charging your phone near your bed.

If anyone wants a discord invite to GAF chat to hear people bitch about headphone jacks and a gazillion Google messaging services among other random shit hit me up via PM.
Hmm had the Pixel for a day and it's such a nice phone, really smooth compared to the S7.
But the Bluetooth is shit. I use it regularly for streaming in my car and running but the stutter is driving me crazy already.
I might just put up with it until Pixel 2 but it's going to be tough given how annoying it is already.

you got to worry about some of those cables still
while they are technically verified some will lose their "snugness" after a few months when connected to chargeres/power banks

Bluetooth stuttering? Never seen that on my Pixel XL.
It takes a abnormally long time to sync up with my car stereo, but never stuttering.

It does suck.
Yup, got over it now. Then again I'll most likely get either the new iPhone/Pixel this year, so not going to get the display changed, not yet anyway.
Yeah it does, the phone fell on the screen first, then flipped over to the other side which is where the case is, if it happened the other way around, it would have been just fine. Sucks
Now that I think about it, less than knee level drop made the phone flip with the case on it, damn!
Yeah but like I said, it isn't the bumper/back/case, the screen fell on the ground and there might have been something on the floor that knocked on the screen to give that crack. So don't think a case/bumper case would have done the job, probably a tempered glass would have saved it but then again I wouldn't want to use a phone with a tempered glass on the display. The texture changes.

Are you resting your hand on your phone?
My Mazda's Bluetooth has shit range compared to whatever Philips player I had installed in my old truck, but the connection really only gets spotty when some part of me is between my phone and the dash. Like when I put my hand on my thigh near my phone.
Nope, it's sitting an inch away from the Bluetooth receiver in my car in a cubby.
Hey everybody, I need some serious help. I just got to Ireland and am having substantial issues with my GS7e. I turned the phone off to charge, and plugged it in using Samsung's wall adapter and a US -> Euro wall adapter. I turned the phone back on and things are all fucked up. My screen/resolution is stretched to all hell, it is as if the aspect ratio is completely off. For example, my keyboard literally takes up half of the screen at the moment. I keep getting random notifications that say "x app has stopped working". When I turned it on I got all of these System UI "help" notifications as if I had factory reset my phone, not to mention that my keyboard was overridden to the default Samsung keyboard.
What the hell is going on? Did I just fry my device while charging it or something? I have no idea how to fix it or get it back to normal, and am obviously very frustrated that this happened my first day overseas.

The Samsung browser has some extensions.

Depends on the quality of temper glass. But all the ones for curved phones are trash anyways. It sucks. I don't think curve Glass add anything useful. Just makes protecting it impossible

Why discord anyway? Just curious.

I must not be down with the kidz anymore first time I've heard of the app.
Did you try turning it off and back on? Or try going into safe mode to see if the problem persists there? (Turn off of the phone then press and hold the power button until you see the Samsung logo and then immediately hold the volume down button until you see safe mode at the bottom corner. To get in to safe mode)

Don't even get the crew started. We've jump to sooo many different chat apps.
Mother fuckers always be bitching when we'd purge a chat and move to a new program. Lol

I must be getting out of the loop I'm as bad as Nintendo.
Is the switch app next?
Hit me with an invite I'll jump in when I have free time etc
AndroidGAF, help me find my next smartphone crush.
*smartphone crush means the device I want to buy after it's gone down in price because I'll be fucked if I spend $500 for something that only receives a maximum of two OS updates
The G6+
The Q8 (aka LG V20 Mini)
The new Xperias announced at the end of next month
The G6+ ticks most of my list minus the IR blaster, removable battery, and wireless fast charging but slow update history.
The Q8 misses the wireless fast charging and has 2016 SOC but slow update history.
I only want a new Xperia because near AOSP software, side mounted fingerprint sensor and stellar update history.
I'd be fine with a Moto device but seriously they love excluding basic sensors everyone else includes and have shotty update history.

Moto continues to ruin their phones' battery life: the Moto Z2 Force has a 2730 mAh battery.
Gotta sell them $80 battery mods somehow.

Rip. Cancer is awful. Fortunate all my family that had cancer survived.
shit, I saw you post the link to the donation page earlier, but forgot about it. Can you repost?

The first ended up being to turn Power Saving mode on and then off. So strange, but it seems to be back to normal for the moment...
Sad to hear about the passing of a fellow GAFer. Fuck cancer.

Moto G5 Plus battery life is impressive as someone coming from a Nexus 5X. Woke up at 3am to travel from Philly to New Orleans for a family reunion. Battery life is at 51% with 5 hours of screen on time. The 5X would have been struggling.
