Android |OT7| Now With a Whole New Messaging System

It's pretty normal as the battery gets descalibrated over time. I can usually fix it by letting it discharge completely a couple of times and erasing the caches.
Android System drain is out of control for me. I've never experienced anything like it before.

Possibly the circuit board within the battery failed or the manufacturing place that wrapped the batteries had microscopic metal shards that may puncture the integrity of the cells.

So far the Axon 7 seems like a pretty sweet phone. It's actually much smaller than I thought it would be and looks alot nicer in person than in pics. It's hard to justify paying $400 for it though compared to my OPO. My OPO is like butter on CM 13.0 nightlies. Think it will go back and I'll get new Nexus. I want wifi calling on T-Mobile.
how do i get that?, xda?
this video was very good
All this back and forth with XDA and android review sites lol

And with Android Central of all places, which mostly just reposts android police stuff and write crappy reviews.

It doesn't seem any different on my 5x either. And its usable again now that I bailed on battery sucking things like Pokemon Go.

I can confirm this shit with my Moto X 2014 too.

it hasn't exploded yet... in fact, the only time it was hot was during the setup when it downloaded and installed my apps.

Yeah, mine is the same. It really is an overblown situation but Samsung is being better safe than sorry.

35 out of 2.5 million exploded.
thats winning a smallish lottery!
might as well just sleep with your note 7 on your face with it charging
not with the 3ft cable that comes in the box.
so used to 4ft ones that came with previous phones, wtf Sammy!?
i hope we get to keep the accessories.q

What are you talking about?
So I thought I'd give a custom ROM a go seeing as I was going to revert to MM. Running Pure Nexus which I was surprised doesn't come pre rooted, meaning Android pay will work on it. I like all the additional little tweaks over stock Android and most importantly the battery life is very good, sitting at just under 2 hours sot with 70℅ battery remaining.
Can't believe Google released 7.0 with these terrible Android OS/system battery drains. I'll most certainly wait now for a custom ROM based on 7.1 without all the bugs.

The battery drains are on a case by case basis, not for everyone. I fresh flashed Nougat and it got rid of my drains anyway.
Well I seem to have read a lot of reports of it on XDA and Reddit, did a total of 3 fresh installs of N myself and all had the bug.

So surprise this morning. After sending my Moto G 3rd gen to Motorola on the 2nd of August I received it back in the post this morning.
It's a long story, but I eventually got to the point of direct contact with a supervisor and receiving daily updates because of how bad they were acting.
Anyway heard from them on Friday via email saying they were unable to reach the repair centre. They are shut on weekends so was expecting to hear back today. I got home and my phone was here. It had blue film over the screen was I was like great. I peeled it off and underneath was my screen protector still on, so not sure if they even fixed it.. The problem was the screen so I kinda expected a new one. Unless they kept the same glass panel and worked underneath. Who knows..
I've set the phone up and the problem I had (ghost touch) is still there, maybe not as bad though.
So it took me over 1 month to get my phone back, and they probably didn't even fix it. Awesome job Motorola. I am going to completely avoid you going forth and never buying a Motorola phone again. But hey, they offered me a free flip case for my troubles.

You will love it. With Dolby toggled on, it sounds great. Access the equalizer for more goodness.
Tried this yesterday and Android System drain is back to normal: drained just 12% in my last full discharge.
This is promising.
The V20 is expected to have a 4000 mAh battery, and a 'slide out' battery door. No modularity!

Hoping Google is working on the drain for 7.1 and that's why most non beta users have not gotten otas to 7.0.

The only good thing is Apple goes this week.
So not only do we have something to look forward too, but I assume Google won't announce any till after Apple goes.
So the sooner Apple goes the sooner Google make's their own move.

It really is. IFA, Apple, LG, Sony and possibly Nintendo
That Yoga Book thing
I just bought my first tablet on amazon, and will primarily be using it for school- reading PDFs while doing homework on my laptop, internet browsing and whatnot Is there a good app for taking notes, highlighting, etc in PDFs?
Tablet is a Lenovo Tab 2 A10.

Not sure what people expect a lot from this from Android. The only timing that this falls into is Sony's releases, since they are on a weird schedule. MWC is really the big conference for that.
And there were other cool tech things that were at IFA, but they had nothing to with Android.

Galaxy Tab S3?
No one is prioritizing Android tablets and it has been this way for the past year. I think I was the only one to realize that when I was looking for what tablet to get last year. Asus announced theirs with no communication about when it would actually released. That release got pushed back like months and was silently stocked into stores. I think I remember Samsung being quiet about the Galaxy Tab S2 launch. Yes, it was their flagship product, but I feel like this barely put any marketing into it even though it's currently the thinnest tablet in the world...
Nvidia was very quiet about their SHIELD K1 refresh and now it's barely in stock anywhere again I think. They never went through with a rumored X1 based tablet. Google barely talks about Pixel products in general so it wasn't surprising that they barely talk about the Pixel C. No discounts on their keyboard or nothing at all after all this time. It's fantastic tablet, but with slightly outdated specs now.
With the Tab S3, it would be awesome if Samsung went for power by including the Exynos 8890, but I'm willing to bet that the Tab S2 was a high margin product for them using older parts and it left people like me still surprisingly satisfied. It was just a really good performing tablet. I think it's more likely they do the same thing instead of trying to compete with the iPad Pro.

You're acting like new phones aren't planned over a year on advance and Google is waiting for Apple to reveal their 1+ year in The making device before they design and referral theirs in 1 day

seems like a huawei 7" 'nexus' tablet might be a thing.

O shit, that's exciting. Even though I have Shield Tablet I still mostly use N7 because it's so much more comfortable to hold.

I love my Nexus 7, and I still use it to this day.
That being said with larger phones now IDK. I'd prefer something in between this and the Pixel C. I get why you'd want something different than the Pixel C 10" biggie size. I just don't know if a 7" display is big enough.
I mean the iPad Mini is smaller than the iPad, but it's not THAT small. 7.9" makes it basically a full inch bigger. Something between 7.9-9 inches would be more preferable.
