I feel like I'm the only one looking forward to this phone but going with a Lumia-esque design and a great camera? I'm on board!

has calmed down a bit.
Any idea when the Note 7 goes back on sale?
Some are saying early October

T-Mobile has their Note 7 online already. Not sure what that means though.

That's a google play issue. I usually fix it by cancelling the one it looks like it's currently downloading from the list. You could also trying closing google play store and reopening it.
Nice one, got it to work, cheers!

Sure, enjoy the new phone! Remember, depending on where you come from Android is much more flexible, so you can customize your look or change text messaging apps. I recommend Google Messenger for text since you can send gifs to people or Nova if you want more of a stock Android look.
I'm coming at this from a Windows Phone so it's already feeling like something from the future compared to that bloody thing.
Any other must have apps/tricks i should know about?
I can just imagine people at samsung pacing back and forth waiting for the note 7 'fixes' to be done and get their marketing on full drive to spin the battery business away.
if they can't make decent gains in arguably the 'most controversia/ rehash designl' iphone since launch... then idk.
Mean while, X Compact is priced at £359.99 in UK. Sony please.

If you are feeling brave you could root and install ad blockers and Xposed to get more features. Read up on xda-developers about that. I also recommend installing greenify. Can't really think of anything else.
Upgraded to a Nexus 6P yesterday and I'm falling more and more in love with the thing every minute that I'm using it. Kinda felt like a marginal upgrade from my Moto X 2013 because the UI is so similar but the difference are quite striking when it comes to the hardware.

0 bucks on contract with 100$ in store credit (Canada).
Question for Android people - I'm planning on upgrading from the Galaxy S5 soon, and am torn between the S7 edge and the S7. Is there any noticeable difference between the two? I feel like the curved screen is just more glass to break, but if someone with an edge can offer up a compelling reason to get that phone over the normal S7, I'll consider it!

Looks great on the yet-to-burn-in AMOLED display of my Samsung Galaxy S7.

It's like we need a sticky thread for what to really do for juniors beyond just GAF rules.

I'm kind of out of the loop. Are all Samsung phones doing this now? Is there a point to it at all?

Its basically worse for usability. Consumers are just fucking dumb and chase shiny objects.

I'd rather they stay flat and keep head phone jacks for awhile.

I like the clean look of the OP3. Just needs to somehow add in front facing stereo speakers. It looks great for $400. They can keep the design for the OP4 and just add in next year's chipset and a QHD screen and I'm in like Flynn.
My AT&T Note 4 finally got Marshmallow today, but after the upgrade it killed my 128 GB microSDHC Card. ARGH!!! :| I had pictures with my grandparents and recordings of his tales of when he was young. So many things. I can't lose them as they are really personal.
I am trying right now to recover all of my photos, pictures, and audio recordings. Is there a good tool to do it for cheap or better yet free. It has a hard time being seen by Windows 10 right now through.
Although I am using this http://www.stellarinfo.com/windows-data-recovery.php and it has been having some luck so far. But I will have to pay to actually recover the files?
Any other alternatives?
I really wish I could create threads at times like these.

try posting on XDA forums for help
in the meanwhile, try not to access the memory card until you found a proper solution

So my carrier (Verizon) has a deal going on right now where I get a $200 bill credit if I trade in my phone towards an LG G5. I've ready some reviews that aren't exactly glowing, but I was impressed by the look and feel of the phone, and the smaller size is nicer on my hands. Does anyone have any firsthand experience?

has calmed down a bit.
It still boggles my mind that people don't back their stuff up online. I just don't get it. These companies make it automatic too.

How much would it be after the credit? I wouldn't pay too much for it. I'd say if it's below $400 you can consider it. While performance wise it's good, there's many other issues with it like build quality. Even at $400 it would be hard for me to recommend it over other devices, but I guess since you're on Verizon you can't get a OP3 or Honor 8.
Vanillalite

Just save the cash/phone and get an Axon 7. No real reason to get the G5 over this if you have to jump through trading and bill credit hoops.
End of an era.
Also, iPhone announces the murder of 3.5mm and he can't celebrate properly. I would feel very frustrated in his place.

No shit and helping them recover just makes it worse bc they dont learn then. I just tell them they are idiots now hoping they will get a clue.
Frustrating? He can get a life now.. This place isnt exactly productive.
