Android |OT7| Now With a Whole New Messaging System

Same I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile a few years back now, and the coverage/speed definitely still isn't quite as good, but I only pay 100 dollars for 3 lines with 6gb of data and data rollover. Whereas with Verizon, I'd be paying that much for 1.
For the price difference, I can make whatever negligible diff in speed work.

Has anyone heard about this?
USB-C Audio Standard in the Making
I mean... This is how I imagine moving away from 3.5 would be. Not the BS apple did by making it proprietary... But nonetheless, this isn't that surprising but at least much more better imo if moving forward.

Can't believe this actually wasn't drafted eons ago.

I woke up this morning and my S7 Edge went from 65% to 8% overnight while sleeping. The top three offenders were listed as Android System, Android OS, and Google Play services which really tells me nothing. I got in to work and put my phone on my wireless charger and it started to complain that the charge rate was so slow that my battery was draining faster than it could charge. I ended up doing a full reboot, but is there any way to actually tell which app or what was causing the problem? Saying Android System is using the most battery seems kind of pointless because it doesn't really tell you anything. Is there an app that will point out what's asking Android to constantly be active?

I dig it
Its the phone that everyone has been saying has a terrible design the past 2 - 3 months.

I'm leaning towards the V20 but I may go with the Pixel XL instead depending on price and release date. We all know about LG's fantastic idea of announcing their phone and then waiting probably a month and a half to actually release here in the US. If Google can announce this and have it in stores in 2-3 weeks then I might go with them.
I guess price doesn't really matter though when compared to the V20. Even with the rumored high price I'm sure the V20 will be at least $650 minimum. It would just be kind of hard to swallow buying the Pixel XL for $700+ when I've been use to seeing their phones priced $500 or below the past several years.

And so the annual design-hateing of new Google phones slowly ends like every year since forever
Hope there is a story for the glass on the back, I never cared for wireless charging since the Nexus 4.
And the fingerprint reader better be a "hole" like the 6P, not the 5X ring :/

I just switched back to the Note 5 and will be getting rid of the S7 Edge.
Great phone, but the edge screen just doesn't work for me.
Note 5 til the Note 7 (which supposedly the edge screen isn't as drastic as the S7E) drops in price or hopefully the Pixels come through and will jump ship to one of those.
I just wish more companies would use a physical home button. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I love me a physical home button.

I hope so. Blech.
The Note 7 has an edgy screen too fam

I really like that the camera is flush with the back. It honestly looks great. I really do hope the price rumor is bullshit.
Yeah, he said that in his post.
Maybe you should actually read it next time...

So the Google Pixel use SD 821 or 820?
I see sites listing 820 and others listing 821.

This happens every year but I'm not one of them.
Your eyes slid right off it like an edgy screen... 🤓
I think Android Police said the 821 and they're usually on the money, we'll know for sure come Tuesday.

Is that supposed to be the big one or the small one? Could you tell the difference?

XL. Smaller one will supposedly have bigger bezel.

What's a good looking and user friendly file explorer app with network support?
What type of network support? Regardless, you should check Solid Explorer that supports some network protocols.
It's not ugly, but from the front it's basically, "Yep, that's an iPhone . . . oh wait."

Solid Explorer is what I was looking for and it looks fantastic. Thank you very much.

Physical home button with fingerprint sensor is so good.

OnLeaks posted the Pixel XL dimensions. 154.72mm x 75.74mm x 8.5mm (Top) 7.3mm (Bottom). On one hand I guess being smaller than the iPhone 7 Plus is nice, but on the other hand it is still decently larger than something like the S7 Edge and also larger than the Note 7 which has a bigger screen.
For comparison here are some other phones with similar screen sizes going off of what PhoneArena lists.
OnePlus 3 152.7 x 74.7 x 7.4 mm
Axon 7 151.7 x 75 x 7.9 mm
Nexus 6P 159.3 x 77.8 x 7.3 mm
S7 Edge 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7 mm
Note 7 153.5 x 73.9 x 7.9 mm
iPhone 7 Plus 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm

It's thicker than a 6P, but to make the camera flush and the battery about as big is alright with me.

The camera probably isn't flush though because he lists the top as being thicker than the bottom at 8.5mm vs 7.3mm. Not sure what else would account for the difference.
Yeah, it's nice
Yeah. Only IM thing I use. Well aside from sms.

I really hate the fingerprint reader being like that. I much prefer the recessed look of the Moto phones.
That being said I think part of the reason it looks weird to me here is without the branding.
It's not that there are lines that bother me. It's that the top line is literally only on the sides. So it looks weird as fuck.

That could actually be kind of cool if the taper tilts the screen slightly towards the face when it's laying on a table, though I guess any camera bump accomplishes the same thing, though its more elegant if it's a whole body taper rather than just a bump, imo.
I do like how it's a little smaller than the 6P otherwise.
