No clue if it's still apparent these days lol. But LG will forever have the bootloop reputation

Hmmm true. Think HTC is normal 16:9?

Ok
AT&T has it at half off on Next, that's why I ask.

I'd get it. You're gonna pay $400+ more for a negligible difference.

Personally I would pass because that is for bill-credits which sucks since you're basically locked into the carrier. I especially wouldn't want to do bill-credits for an LG phone since it will probably bootloop at some point.

Bill credits doesn't really matter unless he plans on cancelling service. Also it's $830 on AT&T. Yikes.

Working countryside, the only decent options are Verizon and AT&T. Friend has T-Mobile but loses signal in this town sometimes.
I need VoLTE where I am because the 3G network is usually overloaded where I work.
So yeah, stuck with AT&T branded phones, because I need VoLTE for work.
With the hundreds of texts I'm sending everyday I'm about to just get a branded Priv.
The WP keyboard is the best, but I'm hitting the limit of what an onscreen keyboard can do for me due to the terminology I have to use.

LG Watch Style's on sale at Best Buy for $180 for all the different color/models. That's $70-$100 off. Talk about a flop.
style is the gimped one right?
why not just get a huawei watch first gen for way cheaper lol. Think its getting 2.0 this month too
Oh yeah my dbrand came. Took like 20min of carefulness but I'm satisfied with my work. Corners are still slightly bumpy but w/e.
You have to be more enthusiastic and positive if you want dbrand to sponsor your post.

Hello Android GAF! I recently picked up a GS7. I've been on iPhone since the first generation and wanted to try something new.
My biggest question/concern with Android is iMessage. I am in a ton of group messages and my parents only use an iPod to iMessage me, so it's not like they can text my non-Apple devices. Am i SoL in those group messages and would they have to delete me from the message thread and re-add me to take off the iMessage number? Can I still use iMessage on my iPad to catch any messages that I might miss now that I'm not using iMessage? If I can still use iMessage on the iPad then it's not as big of a concern I guess.
This is seriously the biggest issue with the migration over to Android. Apple really locks you into their ecosystem and makes it really hard to get out.
Thanks in advance and hopefully this concern makes sense to someone.

Not too familiar with group messages but I do know your iPad should be getting all imesages just fine.
I'm glad me and my friends and family never got roped into the imessage hole. It's all about Facebook messenger and weichat

Switched over to my iPhone 7+ since I'm going on holiday and need a better camera than the crappy iPhone SE has. Man, I hate big phones now. It's too bad there are no good 4" Android options anymore. Big screens are good but they really need to fix the physical dimensions of phones. If every phone felt like the SE but no bezels, we'd be a lot happier.
I wonder if Huawei will give it a go. It's either them or Xiaomi because Sony is dead.

How's the iPhone SE crappy? It has the same camera as the iPhone 6S. It didn't get worse when the iPhone 7 launched...

It should work, but you won't get regular SMS/MMS from other people on your S7 if they send it from an iPhone.

Nice thing about shrinking the bezels is for me personally a phone like the S8 is probably big enough this go round.
I wouldn't have to defacto get the Edge version just to get a screen the size I want. Bezel removal means I could just get the S8 and pocket the difference that it would cost to bump to the Edge assuming everything else about the phones are basically equal.

How do i get lg g3 weather widget from accuweather for other phones? I downloaded accuweather from play store but widget is garbage. I wish clock plus weather in nice widget format with multi city support in widget it self.

I think you should stick with iphone knowing you do not like anything other than pure google experience you will not get what you want. Stay with iphone SE.carry separate point and shoot if that is only thing lacking.

Well, the 6P camera is way better than the 6S camera, then. My 6P photos look great and I'm not so hot on the SE ones.

I'd be fine with it if it worked just like GNow did before, and was just a better version of that.

Hey, y'all. Hopefully someone can answer this for me. I have a spam number list such is full of random people that would call all hours of the day. Recently, I've had some weirdo in Nevada calling and just breathing in the phone. Went to add the number to spam, but the option has just vanished!
Is this a firmware/version thing? Did Google do this on purpose? Why?
I'm on android 6.0

pretty sure some of us called it OEM Bloatware from Google last year.
several reviewers also pointed out the missing features with the caveat that OBVIOUSLY Google would re-add them rapidly.
Well I ncertainly like the version in home. And I'm certainly using it more on my phone than on tap. I do wish the phone version had more of the home features though.

One of the more ridiculous thing about the Google Assistant is that while I'm at the homescreen, I can access TWO COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT voice assistants pretty much at the same time. It's daft.

Will Samsung release a "non-Edge" version of the S8?
I have the S7 Edge and I wish bought the normal S7. The screen looks nice, but for me it's not very practical, you have to take care not to touch the screen anywhere on the borders.
I hoope there will be a standard version with the same specs and same battery.

It's very Google. And very much like their dumb fans who are always like, "Options are good!! Give us the freedom to choose!"
I'm surprised you haven't switched back to Google Voice and then just carry multiple phones of various sizes to use as your heart desires.
No, there won't. Though edge rejection was *much* better on the Note 7 than it is on the S7, and I imagine that will carry over to the S8.

I've never not used Google Voice. It's the best thing Google has ever done aside from Gmail.

Only option would be if they release a S8 Active. But that would be an AT&T exclusive.
lucky you, wish it was available internationally.

That plus screen size is going to be glorious.
