I'll volunteer if no one else is up to it
Hmm, mine finally shipped last week. We'll see how it is.
I'm pretty sure it is a metal coating on the plastic "frame", at least that's how I remember it being described.

has calmed down a bit.
Why isn't brot doing the new OP? I know he has an android phone now, but this is the superior android thread anyway.
Yeah, it's a metal coating but not a fake metal coating. Obviously a full metal frame would be nicer.
I took a look at the OP and thought to myself... Nah.

Brot converted from 6brot to 6tsun
You can. Just make sure you enroll on the slow ringAre we safe not to upgrade the 930 for Win 10? Really not sure when is a good time.

Shut up! It's totally not what you think it is, Baka!
Have you tried a hard reset? You should be used to it from your Windows Phone days.
I know basically nothing about Windows 10 Mobile, other than the sadness that I get from impressions in this thread.
10586.36 is the current insider build right?
Backing up my 930 now and might give it a shot.
I don't want to lose all mt data though
Surprisingly i didn't have to do that often on WP until i started all the insider stuff
Just do a copy pasta from this thread and slap the number 10 on it. Not like MS is putting any more effort anyway.

I had to do a hard reset 3 times before I gave up on my G4, ya'll can't say I didn't warn you tho. I simply cannot wait until brot jumps into the maddening cycle of frustration that is a Samsung phone. Its gonna be great!
Lol
We will see how the next few months go. Since it is WiFi issues I might be able to sort it out.
Been using the wireless display adapter while on vacation, and boy does video streaming lag at times. If I mirror my display instead of extending it with continuum, I see that the video is playing fine on my phone. But chops, slows down, and speeds ip on the tv. Anyone experience this and has a solution?
Saw that case in person on a S5, well made and fit. Sadly no option for Lumia...

I know I posted about it the other day, but the battery life on my 950 is amazing since the firmware update.
I last charged it around 27 hours ago, now it's on 33% after relatively extensive use including around 2 hours of Waze.
Anyone else seeing a significant increase since the update?

The latest on teh fast ring included a firmware update? Or a regular one?
Since I started working today again, now I can start my real test of battery life and the 950 in general. RIP 630 <3

That looks like a realy nice case. Too bad there's no XL version. *sad face*
Yeah... I ordered the Incipio NGP for my 950 now, hopefully its comparable.

I never have to reset my One Plus and I have it for over a year now. Up until the recent update I never have it slow down or significant stuttering or slow to open app. Again your problem with LG is because you were using carrier Android phone.
My wife refuse to learn Android or Apple iPhone so I probably going to get her 950 when it is cheape,soon I hope.
I have the NGP on my XL. It's a decent case but I find the texture doesn't have enough grip for my liking.

The wireless display adapter is pretty poor in my experience. Try lowering the resolution, sometimes it helps.
But overall, the wireless display app on xbone just does the job much better, thought it's not flawless either, as it can crash or lose connection quite often.
That's too bad, but I can't imagine it's worse than without any case. Constant fear of dropping...
Not sure I can change the resolution when using continuum or mirroring my phone.
Oh well, was hoping to be able to stream movies to the hotel TV while on vacation. Guess Thai-dubbed movies will have to do.

Yea. The battery life I get out of my 950 always astounds me at how long it lasts. It's great.
I used to have major battery issues but it's all good now.

I would get a different phone. I have a nice pair of wired headphones I use all the time. If my son is sleeping in the living room I will listen to a podcast with my headphones, also my classroom is wired for speakers, but you have to plug the phone into them, and I like to listen to stuff on my phone when I am grading and such. I need a headphone jack on my phone.
I would see no personal benefit from them removing it. Negative would be I have to buy adapters for headphones and listening to music in my car.

Waze on WP? Does that still work?

Music in my ears.
Better trademark that.
Really? I can't think of any device of mine that has ever had the 3.5mm jack damaged. Headphone cords are damaged all the time, but I've never seen the port itself.

Are you humping your phone with a headset plugged in or something?

I had a blackberry 8900 who's headphone jack failed.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Are having issues now?
Regardless, lets keep pretending I didn't own an s6 edge and a Note 4 prior to the G4. 2015 was the year of Android for me, it did not go well. I obviously liked a lot about the platform or else I wouldn't have bought 3 separate flagship phones for it in one year. I think I would still be on Android if I had gotten an M9, but camera is very important to me and that's the one area HTC just can't get right.

I guess that's the new fad this week.
No, it's not worse than without the case (I do use mine), it's just that I was hoping it would have better grip to make one-handed usage a bit easier. It doesn't add too much bulk either which is nice, and the button covers are easy enough to use. Only problem with the buttons is that it's almost impossible to feel the difference in the two stages of the camera button, so I generally use the on screen controls for photos.

Does it come with a set of decent earbuds that work whatever new system they're using?
If so, I'd be a lot less upset. It'd still strike me as somewhat scummy on general principle, but so long as they're a) moving to a USBC standard and b) including a pair of USBC earbuds, I wouldn't mind too much.
