Not an excuse. The Z5 also had the 810 and was still bad. Just not as bad.

Yeah, because they revised the chip. It's why the later phones with the 810 aren't a total shitshow.
I get one maybe once a week. Twice if I'm lucky
I'm getting at least a couple a week. It mostly comes from surveys about local businesses. So if you have location history turned off it won't work at all. Or if I don't go shopping it's pretty rare I'd get a survey.
Yeah, there's a quite significant revision of the 810. Polishing a turd, but y'know.

Is this actually really confirmed? I remember OnePlus stating that they'd have a better 2.1 revision of the chip, only for HTC to come out and say they were already using that revision in the M9.
Use Google photos.
hmm but even with Google Photos, redownloading the photo changes the timestamp (as far as I remember)
I think you can set Google photos to create a copy to Google Drive. That copy should keep the timestamp. Dropbox camera upload should also keep the timestamp when syncing to a local folder.

Guys anyone using Outlook over Gmail app? I tried Outlook but it eats a lot more RAM, any hidden functionality that I might have missed? What is your preference
For a Gmail account? Nothing beats Inbox IMO.

I have 3 accounts,
gmail, hotmail and a personal one that I use with IMAP

Ah, then Inbox is a no go since it only supports Gmail accounts.

Hmm, I'm still using OG Gmail. I should check in with Inbox, and see if it's gotten any better.
Uhh.. little help plz
I turned on developer mode in my S7 Edge to change the animation settings and then turned off the switch at the top thinking it would hide this menu again, but it turned everything off and I'm pretty sure some things were turned on before
How can I return it to its default state? or can anyone take a picture of his phone with the default settings please?

So Consumer report had 2 s7 actives failed when trying to test the water proofness as advertised and Samsung responded by saying... that ¯\_(ツ
_/¯ , its covered by warranty!
There used to be a time when companies were held accountable by this stuff.

Excellent. No better way to start the week.
Hopefully they switched the slide down control panel back to toggles.

For a final answer from you guys, at the current prices, is there a better phone than the Nexus 5X at less than $300?
there seems to be a sale on the moto x pure every other week. Same specs (+1gb of ram) but 5.5" 1440p screen.

But you also have to deal with their nonexistent warranty service.

Does this mean if I sign up for the preview today I'll get p5 ota prompt?

I'll wait for the OTA to pop up on my Pixel this time I think...not there atm I always thought got the dev preview OTA pretty quick when these blog posts went up. Ah well.
Man if N comes out next month that'll be weird
I found a way, you do it by going to "Apps" and clearing the cache of "Settings"
Regarding the switch, yeah, I figured it after I turned it off, but it seemed to me that some things were turned on before I turned it off, but I can't find anything that would need to run normally so I'm gonna leave it like that except for changing the animation settings again because they reverted back to normal
March 2013 5" device
I'll never understand why they didn't continue in that direction, it was a gorgeous device.
its bad? never had to deal with lenovo/moto cs before.

LG G4 $280 unlocked.
Same CPU but more RAM, QHD display; larger, user replaceable battery and better camera.
Downsides: Not a Nexus so probably won't get any updates past 6.0. LG's UI is hideous in my opinion but Nova Launcher can help alleviate that. There are reports of devices suddenly and irreparably entering into Boot-loops out of the blue.

B&H Photo is offering the ZTE AXON 7 with a 75 buck gift card and a 35 dollar set of earbuds for $399. Not bad if you can sell the gift card on ebay to make this a 325 dollar phone (you pay no taxes).
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?atclk=New+Release_New+Release&N=176&Ntt=zte&sts=ma
ZTE is said to have promised to do quick updates with a update to latest version of Android (Nougat) quickly after it is released on Nexus phones.

LG's UI isn't bad at all living with it. The battery on the G4 though is awful.

Who would buy a 75 dollar gift card online for 75 dollars?

You would be shocked. I've seen 50 dollar gift cards go for 60 on ebay. I don't know what kind of situation it makes sense in but its there.

Well I can sell a unicorn online, but it doesn't mean people actually will buy it.

i like how the regular GS7 and GS7E passed, but the 'rugged' Active didn't.

No, I'm telling you I have actually seen cards sell this way.
ehhh fuck it. getting this. So i'm gonna go through a moto x pure 16gb, moto x pure 32 gb, and a ZTE axon 7 within a month. Maybe a iphone in sept too. Now to figure out how to write this off as a work expensive.
It's often for people to get gift cards for online stores in different regions. Many gaffers do buy jp psn cards because ps4 is region free and you can have multiple accounts on them. Typically cheaper and less of a hassle than importing.

A few reasons were given. The larger camera sensor they started to use required more space, so the options would have been to either make the phone thicker, or make the bezels larger so they could put it above the screen. The front facing stereo speakers would also require a bit of room on their own. Also the waterproofing seems to add some bulk to the design. All those combined would either mean a phone with larger bezels, or a thicker phone, and they opted for the former.
I do kinda like this new design direction. I'm just sitting here, holding out hope for a new flagship Ultra to show up
