what? two rounds of launching an arbitrary choice and number of apps with a timer running isn't representative of real life performance?

Note8
Disqualified. Can't do the fingerprint sensor test in the US out of box.
Too much white.

Full screen mode. Fixed the issue for me.
Though I agree that a dark theme would make it perfect.
beta version has dark theme - just learned this today actually from another thread!

Yay! Might stop using full screen mode if that's the case.

I think it is based off chrome?
full screen + adblock + swipe to change tabs is great
With dark mode + swipe down to refresh in beta, its perfect!
You can gef it off the Play Store these days.
I dont even use it on my S8 though. Still use Chrome.

Yep i found it on the Play store now. It even has swipe down to refresh!
Its basically Chrome-lite with all QoL features back in.
While Google mucks around swapping things around with their version, that also has background battery drain.
Since i disabled Chrome on my s7e, the drain is like 2% over a 8hrs night, with wifi/LTE/NFC on.
Android beta site won't load for me now. It prompts me to enter my password and then a blank white page.
Swipe down to refresh is the worst tho D:
I've lost so many posts because of that stupid gesture. Thankfully there's a flag for it.

You'll have to go the ADB route and sideload the security OTA should do the trick.
My 3T really keeps the apps open on the background forever... Its common to open something and realize what you were doing a week ago is still there, untouched. I dont turn off my phone often nor close all apps because the phone is butter smooth all the time. The OP5 should be even better with 8gb, even though I cant see where it could improve in this department.
Similar thing happened to me yesterday. I got fed up with my 6p dying at 50 - 60% battery life. Chatted with a Google rep and even though it was out of warranty they are sending me a Pixel XL next week. Quite impressed with how they handled it and how quick they are taking care of it. I will definitely make purchases from them in the future if this is how they will be handling issues.

Might switch to Samsung browser. Been using Brave. Where is the beta version on the Galaxy App store or Play store?
My Moto G4 is going hywire and keeps restarting itself for no reason. Seems to be a common issue based on what I read online as well. Resetting to factory settings didn't seem to do much, either. Problem is I have no backup phone so I don't want to send it back to the store. Hope The LG V30 comes soon.
Really want to buy the next Pixel phone man. Im livid that I have to choose another because they dropped the headphone jack like idiots.
you're foolishly assuming it'll even be in stock for buying in the first place

in play store. and then you install adblock+ with it.
samsung browser is less janky than other third party browsers i tried, and i tried tons.
It felt like a 'native' app in terms of launch times, scrolling, switching etc. granted im using it on a samsung phone.

Another thumbs up for the Samsung Browser for me. It's fast, has adblock, night mode and, at least on my S7, PiP for all videos. I really like it.

LG making the xl and it hopefully coming to more carriers means it should be more readily available. It is Google though.

ok..
so i tell Bixby to play an album in Google Music
it plays the album from my Music Library
i tell Google Assistant to play the same album
it tries to play it from the Google Play Music subscription service and since i'm not a subscriber, it pops up the subscribe window

No idea why but I've been noticing this more and more frequently. I dislike have the soft keys take a portion of the screen. Scrolling through Twitter with the bottom 10% of the screen being dark black for the soft keys is annoying.
So what are the best solutions for immersive mode? I've downloaded an App but it doesn't work with a lot of my frequently used apps (Twiiter and Instagram) which is a shame because it works a treat with Facebook.

Is there a way to hide the nav bar on apps but not the homescreen on my S8+?
There's an extension on chrome (desktop) for Samsung Broswer. I think you have to sign into your Samsung account there. I haven't used it, but I can try later.

Damn the personalize audio function of the S8+ is so nice. My music sounds much better with my personalized settings.

Moto X4 will probably be a solid lower priced phone. Stock android and all:
An Android One Version of the X4 is certainly appealing. Too bad it's 400. Way too much for what's basically a pimped up Moto G5 Plus. And 5.2" is just too small. And no AMOLED.
It better have a truly awesome camera and DAC to justify that price. And Motorola has never had an outstanding camera.

Would a z2 force with a free projector be on par with the v30 in terms of being a good purchase? Upgrading from a regular Nexus 6 (Verizon).

If you were to pick the better phone, which would it be for 600-650 bucks? The U11 or the S8+? What is better for the money and what battery lasts longer?
