Samsung Gear Icon X "Real Review"
A year ago I was doodling a concept like these almost down to the exact functionality. Here a real product is released and Floss approved with 3 majors. Might have to keep an eye on these.

True, but at this point, the amount of games out there that a SD820 can't brute force to a decent framerate gotta be REALLY limited right?
And I really doubt the games that i'm struggling with will get vulkan lol.
Resolution has increased geometrically in the past 4 years but GPU speeds have only increased linearly (or in the case of the SD810, barely at all).
The games I have issue are all 2d with resolution targeting iphone 5. Think the issue is they are single threaded on Android.

Synapse of what;s been happening since the other day
Both my Pixel C and OP3 are no longer showing up on ADM and the Pixel C isn't showing up on the N Beta opt in site. Factory reset both, delete backups and still nothing.
Have my GF sign into my Pixel and it shows up on her ADM and the beta opt in site. remove her account and add mine without reseting and it stops showing on hers and doesn't show up on my account. while I wait for Google to ring me back I decide to put my Pixel C back a few builds to see if I can still at least get OTA.
Sign in load it up and get an OTA message....for the N Beta...and it's still not showing up on the beta opt in site and it didn't want to go to the N beta from the August build.
Just to check I also signed into my GF's old Nexus 4 and it also too doesn't appear in ADM at all.
I'm so fucked off

Put stainless steel on the whole phone.
The ZTE Axon 7 is literally mind boggling. How the hell did this thing come out of no where and manage to one up pretty much all the major manufacturers ? I am normally a guy who buys the Note line, but even this year's Note feels like a damn rip off compared to the Axon 7/ OP3 / Redmi Note.
It has the best audio on ANY device under MULTIPLE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
It has a Snapdragon 820 and 4 GB of RAM - with a 6 GB of RAM option for only 50 bucks more.
It comes with a 2 year accidental warranty, a case, AND a screen protector PreINSTALLED.
FUCK ZTE FUCK O_O

can't get the 6gb version internationally. the warranty is nice, but you still have to pay a deductible for accidental stuff I think.
Mine didn't come with a screen protector preinstalled? It had some shitty film on it that I took off.

I believe that is the aforementioned screen protector. The Oneplus 3 came with it too but it's shit so I took it off.

I like my phones to be cheap and Chinese. I'm a total convert now. I also won't buy anything without a metal body because of ZTE.
is the axon available in Euroland??
BTW, i saw a review, but it has one thing i can't stand: no notifications on lock screen (needs to touch an icon on the top lef, stupid imo). Reminds me of huawei's EMUI. Can this be disabled somehow. The point of notifications on lock screen is to see them fast.
I still plan to buy a Note 7, but only if it is cheaper on my carrier.

same as in spain, unavailable.
Any serious camera review for the Axon?
Despite the samsung hate, and overpricing, must say it is really more appealing: waterproof , excellent camera and samsung pay already available in Spain is really interesting for me.
And my note 4 still rocks.... maybe should wait for note 8?
Any real improvement on SoC department for next year? seems everything has slowed down since 820 and samsung's own exynos powering S7 were released.Even the nexus will probably be using 820 7 months later.
Nope. it's dumb. You can just use a 3rd party lock screen though. I still rarely see the lock screen anyways because I just use the fingerprint scanner to automatically go from black screen to homepage.
do 3rd parties lock screens work decently these days? i couldn't use any on my huawei but haven't tried any for a while. Are those compatible with fingerprint scanner??
ive been using microsoft's. It works with the fingerprint scanner kinda. It really is just a lockscreen on the normal lockscreen lol, so fingerprint is a bit slower because it goes from MS lockscreen -> normal lockscreen -> unlocked.
A bit clunky but fine.

I wish this was real
and supported wireless charging.
I'd probably sell my S7 immediately, and I haven't even received it yet.

Both the S7 and Note 7 support wireless charging don't they? I guess S8 will too.
I'd rather choose waterproofing over wireless charging though
ANd also google should setp up their game with battery capacity. At least 3000mAh for the 5 inch one please.
Well, I jumped in on an HTC 10 despite not liking this new wave of larger screens.
At least it's a super pretty looking phone.
Anyone have any good case recommendations? Mine is nekkid right now...!
i will never understand why people care so much about how good a phone looks and then hide it with a case.
I mean, i understand trying to keep it safe from accidental drops but then why care about how it looks like.
Just a question i ask myself every now and then, I use my note 4 without any case btw
There's no way to whitelist individual computers/ip addresses, from what I can tell. You need to enter in a texted code every time you log in.

My Note 5 has been annoying me as of the past few weeks.
1) My widgets all disappeared. I found a solution to reset icons and that fixed it but I would have rather put the widgets back in since literally everything got reset.
1.1) My widgets disappeared again after about a week from resetting the icons!!!!!!
2) My phone doesn't charge in "Fast Charge" so many times unless I turn it off or restart it. A pretty big annoyance.

I just use a case for protection, I've never really cared about how a phone looks so I definitely prioritize protecting my expensive gadget that I use more than any other device I own.
But my S7 Edge I actually needed a case so that I could hold it comfortably. The sides are so tiny that the edges of my fingers and my palm would touch the screen slightly when I hold it. My Spigen case made it much more comfortable to use.
That is my point, sometimes people care so much about the design, metal, glass etc etc but then need a case that hides all that. Or even may help with the grip, i really love how my note 4 is not a slippery phone.
In fact i can see myself buying a case if i end purchasing the note 7, those edge screens and the glass back seem to be the perfect design for accidental drops

people been fawning over the axon 7 so much here, decided to make a post in OT to pimp it a little. Feel like they earned it.

Y'all seen the new Snapseed update yet? It brings text editing into the fold.
There's a way to mask on there now... My Yelp reviews are going to be on point, son.

Well, if it ends up providing some harmony to my decision, the case I ended up finding and going with is completely transparent.
The reason I want a case is that it does help absorb some damage from things like the phone getting knicked in my pocket and when I drop it. I dropped by Xperia X3c several times which necessitated buying this phone...

I'm looking to upgrade this month, I'm still on contract pricing with Verizon so the phones are subsidized still. What is my best bet this month? Is it the Note 7? Wait for the V20? My wife as the V10 and its been problematic thus far.
Fucking phone lost me big post ffs.
So I'll just sum it up: axon 7 VS oneplus 3 vs New nexus vs s7edge.
Problem with first 3 is they likely won't ship here plus possible customs and taxes if they do but could use forwarding company to ship from USA for a fee. Really curious about new nexus but won't know much for at least a month or more. Axon seems like best option spec wise but not sure about resale later and current phone is pissing me off and only gonna go down in value from here, still worth around 150E tho.

I like the OP3 version of the double tap where you just wave your hand across the sensor to have a look but it's great something to the same effect is coming to the Nexus software.
Did they change some settings in Google Play Music recently? It won't stream when I'm on my data network. It'll only play downloaded music. I have a subscription and all the "only stream on wifi" stuff is turned off. I haven't made any changes in the settings and it's worked fine for years until earlier this week.
Hey Priz! Thanks. Picking up that car charger since I'll need one now (didn't realize 3.0 ports were not backwards compatible with old USB cables...)
This is the case I ended up going with: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DK40VHO/?tag=neogaf0e-20 since I wanted something that would show off the back/sides.

sounds like you need to RMA it.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I wouldn't understand, either. Doesn't seem like a hardware issue, so the OS should enable it on compatible hardware phones just fine.
