FP sensor at the back? Fuck Sony!

The side is the best, at least when you want to do minimal bezel phones without embedded sensor in the screen.

I bailed on my 6P a couple of months ago for a OnePlus 3t.
It's frustrating because in some major ways (screen, speakers, camera) the 6P was actually superior. But holy shit I'd forgotten how nice it is to be able to have 5+ hours SoT.

My phone(G6) updated yesterday too and my Google Play Music stopped being able to read music off my SD card.

I can see and play the files fine if I use the file manager and manually choose an app to play the mp3 but that's just annoying.

I stopped using GPM for my internal music cause it stinks. The LG stock one is alot more user friendly imo. Did you see if that at least works?

That one is the mid tier and if you want thin side bezel the fps needs to be elsewhere, they cited that with the thin bezels on the XA models they couldn't fit the fps on side/power button. The other pictures has the power button like the XZ models, with thicker side bezels.

Yep that one works.

I had to uninstall all updates to GPM to fix the problem.

I'll try the LG music program see if I like it better.

Did they remove the Google Fit watch face from Android Wear 2,0? damn thing won't appear on this Hauwei watch 2 and Google Fit itself doesn't seem to want to get data from the watch either.

5.7" is small?

How have we got to this point?
Click to expand...
The phone dimensions is small. Small bezels means more screen in a smaller phone.

Speaking of which.

Alleged prototype render of mi mix 2.

We are in full mass production, ramping up to deliver your Essential Phone. Find out where you can get yours next week! #thisisessential https://t.co/CYrhTMSt1g


Soon.


Honestly the main reason I'm interested in the essential is because of the design imo is better than any other phone this year,even with the weird front camera. Hope it can deliver.

Also it was confirmed tencent and Amazon are 2 of the giants funding rubin, so I'm gonna guess the company will still be around for a year or 2.

I hope the pixel XL doesn't have the same battery issues of the 6p. I'm taking advantage of the pixel xl deal as my 6p is almost two years old now and the battery is basically worthless.

My 6P has a really fucking finicky battery. Sometimes dies at 30 or 25. Not sure which. Basically, I think it's running at 70% efficiency of what it originally was.

Is there a power brick (doesn't have to be a battery) that has both QC3 and USB-C delivery ports? I want to be able to plug in both an S8+ and a Switch without blowing either of them up or losing fast charging.

Mine is currently at 53% but I have seen the overall health score lower. This might be my favorite phone but this battery has aged so poorly. I'm excited to see what the pixel brings though.

I wish mine died at 25/30%. These days I'm lucky to make it to 50% before it's toast. I'm just hanging on until the new Pixel comes out. It's sad how fast the 6p battery has gone downhill. If they fixed the battery problem and upgraded the internals to 2017 specs I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

I bought an Anker PowerCore 26800 with USB-C the other week and it's been basically a lifesaver with a battery that is probably, at most, 50% of it's original charge. A battery pack that size is overkill though, to be honest.

Nope. Have you installed Fit on your watch? Remember that phone and watch installs are separate now.

Fucking LG.
My dad's Nexus 5x bootlooped about a month ago.
My brother's Nexus 5x bootlooped last week.

We sent my dad's phone to repair, and it arrived yesterday. My brother took it since his is busted, only to find out that it's still not working properly, and shutting down after some usage.

Do you planned obsolescence really a thing in phones?

I can't get over how after I approach the two year mark every phone I've ever had begins to act up in some manner that forces me to get another.

Tired of the rubbish Bluetooth in the Pixel, and surprisingly annoyed at a headphone jack on the top of the phone. So purchased an Honor 9 yesterday and will sell my Pixel on. It'll also be good to have that extra storage for Spotify offline downloads too.

The Oppo Find 7 I'm using was released in May 2014, but you wouldn't know it. Runs absolutely perfectly. Specs are still solid compared to a lot of what's releasing today, too: 1440p display, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, Snapdragon 801, fast charging, 13 MP / 5 MP cameras, removable battery, expandable storage, notification light. Just no fucking second SIM tray, which is depressing as I could easily use this thing for another year at least. Also stuck on Lollipop, but that hasn't been a hindrance in app support yet, and Nova keeps things looking fresh.

And of course, Oppo decided to stop selling their phones in Europe.

Not much focus on quality and longevity I think. Where are the 6P updates fixing battery issues?

The calendar app is useless. Doesn't even notify me if events.

Is there any widget that displays the events of the day on my homepage with nova?

EDIT: Sorted

Yep I have the app on both watch and phone and still no watch face :S also I assume the two don't communicate with each other? I noticed the app on the phone showed 300 less steps than the watch did...guess i'm too used to Fitbit.

Man Android Wear 2.0 is confusing
