Support NeoGAF

[Bboy AJ]

It's going to bug me till end of days, though I'll probably stick a skin on it anyway. Are the dbrand ones easy to apply?

Yeah, they're easy enough. Feel good, too.

 

[this_guy]

clear all in recents is now stock.

where is your god now?

Nice - now it's no longer bloat.

 

[Junior Mint]

Stock = Touchwiz now lol

 

[kami_sama]

Stock = Touchwiz now lol

Without the bloat!
I love how Google is introducing the most requested features to stock android.

 

[Jazzy Network]

My DND schedule isn't working correctly. It turns on at the right time, but doesn't turn off correctly in the morning. Anyone know what is going on?

 

[newdayrocks]

Still no April security update for my VZW Nexus 6. Strange, because they've been so consistent in recent months.

Embargo for the HTC 10 must be over. Engadget:

Looks like they nailed the camera:

[kinggroin]

Embargo up!

Looks like Android Headlines still finds the 6P as best overall shooter.

M10 vs 6P vs G5 vs S7

Not a single mention about the weight.

One thing that stuck out is it's probably the heaviest smartphone in that screen size (164 grams).

I'm gonna wait for the inevitable David Ruddock trashing of the phone.

Would be funny if it disappears in the final and apologists go back to calling it bloat.

Is it just me, or does Android Central's website look better in the mobile version than desktop?

The desktop layout is absolute trash. There's so much going on.

AA's review.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Honestly, I'd take the HTC 10 over the S7 tbh. Obv don't plan on either but if I was I would.

I still don't have marshmallow on s6 lolwtF?

 

[reKon]

Told you all HTC would come through

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

So HTC is having a good start to the year with actual, good hardware. The 10 and the Vive.

 

[Jzero]

Yea too bad the phone is kinda ugly. Too many sharp knees

8.0 from the Verge. Hmm

So basically great phone, but has no wiz-bang gimmicks so 8/10.

 

[VanMardigan]

The M8 was fantastic outside of the camera and battery (which wasn't terrible). It was my favorite Android phone. Software was butter and it didn't deteriorate over time like touchwiz tends to do. This is the true successor, forget the M9.

Edit: The Verge basically spends like 3 sentences on the camera. They really are bored by it, lol.

 

[VICTORsaurio]

I've been getting quite a few annoying promoted tweets on my timeline using the official twitter app. Do they still show up if I switch to a third party app? Which one would you recommend?

 

[Hasney]

I mean it's the Verge. A 2/10 website.

 

[VoxPop]

I don't understand you guys. I understand The Verge is usually biased but you expect them to give the HTC 10 an 8+ just because? The phone is indeed nothing special and I think the score is appropriate.

 

[osiris3355]

I don't understand you guys. I understand The Verge is usually biased but you expect them to give the HTC 10 an 8+ just because? The phone is indeed nothing special and I think the score is appropriate.

Its more so because of the fact that the Verge consistently lists cons in Android phone reviews that it NEVER does in iPhone reviews. Cons that exist on both platforms.

If they cant find enough cons with an android phone they will reach.

Boring design?
Overpriced?

Slow camera is a con for sure but the rest...Are you fucking kidding me?

 

[clav]

The phone is indeed nothing special and I think the score is appropriate.

You can say "boring design" about any smartphone.

It's a phone.

Do you see people buying Sharp's RoboHon because it has a non-boring design?

 

[this_guy]

I use Fenix and don't see promoted tweets.

 

[funkystudent]

I wish Android TV took off better.

Only option is the Shield TV and its hella expensive.


Also the Nexus Player is near imposable to find now. Plus its lack of expandability was a turn off anyway for that price.

Would be down for a sub 100 android TV puck but I guess they dont want to eat chromecast's lunch with a remote and a usb port




I guess it is being build into a lot of TV's so its not dead or anything but still....

I don't understand you for reading the Verge.

 

[Jazzy Network]

What's best free Twitter app? I am using Tweetcaster right now but it's very bare bones. Not looking to spend any money unless Fenix is really that much better? (please say why it's better)

 

[Bboy AJ]

Damn at the Ars review headline! HTC 10 review: HTC builds the best Android flagship of 2016. Good for them. I love the phone and would pick it over a Samsung.

Thank you, already installed it!

Its doing pretty decent. I agree that Google should have built a better box than that cheap Nexus Player. Hopefully they will announce something nicer soon.

Right now its in Sony, RCA, Phillips and Sharp TVs. If google can convince someone like LG or Vizio to jump in it will be game over. The ecosystem is already growing really well and has most services, just not growing Apple TV fast.

Also live channels is sick and will be really neat if more players take advantage. The features in N Preview are also looking great for TV.

 

[kinggroin]

Got to play with an M10.

Reminds me of the M7, but modernized.

Vizio is going Chromecast.

 

[osiris3355]

Vizio is going Chromecast.

Which means the relationship is there so Android TV could be next.

y'all still give that site clicks in 2016?

http://www.theverge.com/2016/4/14/11429858/htc-10-review

The HTC camera has a grey issue that the reviewer brought up. An 8 out of 10 is more than generous considering:

The lack of IR blaster
The lack of wireless charging
Speaker quality
Grey issue in some photos
Inconsistent battery life; barely goes all day with a 3000 mah battery and camera dramatically drains battery according to Android Central podcast..

An 8/10 is more than fair to say the least.

Fuckin people who complain about IR blaster are the worst

Wouldn't Android TV be a downgrade if your TVs are already compatible with actual Android?

 

[Furyous]

*smirks in your face then smiles*

The device costs $700 so I have a right to complain about the lack of an IR blaster. I want perfection for $700.

Don't ever rely on The Verge for battery life reviews.

I got the battery life info from the Android Central podcast on the HTC 10.

No. Android TV does the same thing as a Chromecast. But maybe I'm not understanding your question.

it's gonna be a sad time in the break room at work this fall when the Note 6 doesn't have an IR blaster

 

[Broank]

I went ahead and ordered one, hopefully it turns out well. tbh I've only bought like $5 cases before (because I rarely use em) but I've been needing a new one and this looks pretty neat with the custom look and cleaver nfc button.

 

[Jazzy Network]

IR blaster is the new removable battery.

 

[Hasney]

I don't understand you guys. I understand The Verge is usually biased but you expect them to give the HTC 10 an 8+ just because? The phone is indeed nothing special and I think the score is appropriate.

No, I just point out the Verge is trash at every opportunity. If it got a 1 or a 10, my post would have been the same.

 

[osiris3355]

Wouldn't Android TV be a downgrade if your TVs are already compatible with actual Android?

No, Android TV includes Chromecast support. It's a huge upgrade because you get choice between casting and a full TV OS.

Vizios are nothing but Chromecast built into a TV with a cheap android tablet and vizio app any device can run. Full Android does nothing for TVs other than casting.
