So back to preorder price?
this is really disappointing.
wonder what's holding them back from doing at least 4 years like Apple

Qualcomm I'm sure.
Many Linux kernels don't have that long of a life span.
Qualcomm keeps certifying drivers that only work with these older kernels.
An industry wide problem in the Linux world.
Your home internet router is another common consumer item suffering from this problem.
Drivers start having issues when the kernel changes.
Here's a recent article on problems with Linux in today's world: http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/09/linux-kernel-security-needs-fixing/

If Google made their own chips, you sure as hell believe it will be longer than 2 years.

Google can easily do so; They just need to get off of their asses.
While OnHub is still getting updated even though Google announced a new WiFi router, it has only existed for about one year now.
Check again in a few years.

Fantastic audio, best I have used on a phone.

None of you should be using either of those apps anyway (unless you don't care about your privacy):

You should instead use something like Signal.

You might be able to make it explode by shooting it but you should stand at a minimum safe distance so you don't get hit by shrapnel.

I like how this is such a big deal when people have been using Facebook messenger and hangouts for how long now.
Please tell me why would I not use duo when it's end-to-end encrypted?
Allo also has it as an option so what's the problem? If I want to discuss a criminal activity I just performed I will switch to allo's incognito mode.
Allo (in incognito) and duo are safer than using my carrier when it comes to privacy. This topic is 2 - 3 weeks old and one of your offered solutions (whats app) shares your info with Facebook.

those are terrible reasons.
we shouldn't be using them because they'll be obsolete in two years.

It's hilarious how so many people on the web drooled over Google assistant at I/O (who probably use Google Now) were completely shocked that Google is logging the non incognito messages
How does one expect a chat bot that becomes your personal assistant to not know anything about you?
Google gets to sell better targetted ads and you geta digital assistant. Move on people...

Nougat is silky smooth on mine and battery is pretty decent as well.
Really my only issue is the camera. And not even the image quality. It's just so damn slow.

Man I forgot how hot snapdragon 810 phones got. I don't think I'm gonna be able to handle this 6P. Guess I'll try a custom kernel to maybe keep it cooler.
So i just upgraded from a Nexus 6 to an Axon 7, and im having a weird problem with SMS's. Every message i get ends with random characters after a tilde. So something like ~8bsKlwAXhgJ9Qg.
On Project Fi (was fine with just using T-Mobile) and migrated SMS's with Carbonite's migration tool.
Anyone have any idea what would cause this or anything suggestions on what to try?

Mine doesnt get hot enough through the case and I'm on my 4th game of Hearthstone.
Maybe England has something to do with that though...
maybe they should release emui 5 with it

If the blue were released here I'd consider it

has calmed down a bit.
Where do I get that iphone transfer tool they showed off at the pixel conference?
So you know how when you tap on the microphone of the Google search bar, it makes a beep to let you know it's listening? And also when you cancel it it makes a different beep?
Well, ever since my Nexus 6P upgraded to Nougat, it no longer does this. Instead it vibrates. All my sound is turned on in and everything, but u can't figure out how to make it go back to that. I want the sound, not the vibration.

Maybe it's because I have no case on it, but my OnePlus one stays cool without a case.
I believe it ships with it in the box.

this was like the coolest thing they kinda swept under the rug. Not cool because it lets you transfer but how the fuck does it work lol. I just mean from a technological standpoint....does the cable act as itunes somehow and distribute everything into the proper place. It pulls out imessages too right?
Crazy. Just wondering how it works on a software level.
I wonder if it's possible for Apple to intentionally break it with an iOS update.

It's about to get worse. ATT is thinking about dropping the Note 7 all together, even the new new replacements.
I'd love to buy the Note 7 for a reduced price but don't trust that phone in my pants pocket after all this mess.

The beep was removed in Marshmallow I believe. I miss it too.

What are you talking about face book is all about priva-hahahaha
it's not a new thing that started with the Pixel. Samsung has done this with their Smart Switch tool (works pretty well too!)

So tempted to buy the htc10 while it's still on sale...but maybe I should just wait until black Friday.
I got a blue one about a week ago. Sweet looking phone and I'm liking it so far. Emui 4 hasn't been too much of a problem so far. A couple of quirks really but that's it.

Right now easily anyways it's not possible, you can look up piemessage I thinks it's called there's a guy working on it and it's working currently but extremely early alpha stages.

Are there any 3rd party YouTube ads on android that will remove ads and allow downloads for offline play?
No iMessage so you just have to stick with group texts.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Not really. It's against Google's TOS.
If all your friends use imessage don't do it. It's not worth the hassle or headache.
