"d[-.- posted:b" post="443567425"] I spent way too long looking at dodgy websites translated by google only to finally realize I should go to the source: http://www.asus.com/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/specifications/ Asus posted:FDD-LTE: (US) The one I see missing 12 which is T-Mobile's new lower frequency LTE channel.

My Z3c arrived today and I love it. Great size, really snappy and the battery seems to be pretty great. The only problem I have: is there any way to disable the startup sound of the camera app when I launch it with the camera button? I have disabled all sounds and the phone is one quiet setting but it still plays the annoying start up sound.

Can anyone set reminders with Google Now right now? ("hey google now, remind me to do something tomorrow") I've been trying for a couple of hours and it just keeps telling me that it "Can't reach Google at the moment".

ThermoPhysical posted:I'm trying out the Galaxy S 6 Edge at Best Buy and it's really loving niiiiiice. Definitely my next Android device. I just wish battery tests were a little more robust. For every 3 reviews I read that say the battery is kinda lovely there are 3 more that say it out lasts the Note4 by 20 minutes. I didn't have a note 4, but I am to believe it was one of the best battery wise on the market. Some reviews are saying the M9 battery is good, others say it's poo poo too. It's really just a pain in the rear end. All I know is my M7 has been off charger for 13hrs 13mins and 25 seconds and I have 38% left on the battery under what I would call normal usage. Texts calls throughout the day, 2hrs of spotify at the gym etc.

I've had an S6 edge for about 3 weeks and also have a Note 4. The S6's battery isn't as good as a Note 4 and anyone who says it does last as long is a liar. That being said, it's plenty good enough and charges ridiculously fast.

One of my coworkers has the s6 edge and the battery life according to him is not great. He is coming from and Xperia Z3 and has been spoiled. He says it's not to big of a deal cause the phone charges from 1% to 100% in about an hour.

If only the market could be used in the emulated environment. I actually only need to buy the app, download it, and get the APK. I need to decompile it.

If you absolutely needed a device with a 2k screen, which would you get? The G3 is currently the cheapest, but I do love my upgrades and would pay for a Nexus 6...

I lost my phone (HTC One M8) a few weeks back and didn't have any sort of insurance. I have been using a super old, super beat up, and super horrible Samsung Charge, whose name seems to mean it constantly needs a charge. I have wanted to get a new phone but they all seem pretty expensive. I was originally considering getting a used or refurbished HTC One M8, but didn't like the idea of the crapshoot that might end up. However, since Motorola has a great deal with the 2nd Gen Moto X (posted here a couple pages back), which is only marginally more than most M8's seem to be going for used, I figure I will probably spring for that. Is there any reason to spend the extra $50 to get more storage? I would bet that the extra storage is unnecessary unless you like to take and keep a ton of pictures on your phone, since they all go to Google's Cloud anyway.

You have had smartphones before, how much space did you use? 16 GB gets pretty tight from normal camera/video use, installing games, storing music locally, etc. Also the resale value will reflect the storage amount, so even if you keep it for 2-3 years, you will probably get most of that $50 back.

I had 32 GB in both the Charge and the M8 and never really seemed to use all that much. In the 8 months I had it, I think I was approaching having 80% of storage free in the M8. However, your resale point makes perfect sense and unlike the last two phones, its not like I can upgrade the memory on this one if I decide its not enough. Thanks.

Eremys posted:Don't know if you're talking about turbo charging but I have both an iPhone and a nexus 6. The iPhone does support high capacity charging when using the iPad charger or the quick charger . They just don't advertise it and its a tiny bit slower than the Qualcomm variety. The iPhone 6 has a small enough battery to which it almost doesn't even matter. The 6 plus though, no idea.

Android/Google is doing some really weird poo poo lately. Yesterday evening I wanted to play some music by using Google Now. It went and started a Radio based on the song I wanted it to play, but not the song itself. Then today at 6:00am my phone started to play the song I actually wanted to play yesterday. No alarm was set, it just started blaring the song at 6:00am sharp. On my day off. Thank you, Google. Trusted places is also not working at all. Requiring two unlocking gestures to even check for notification icons is a pain in the rear end, too.

If you truly just need the phone to download the app: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Walmart-Family-Mobile-ZTE-Zinger-Smartphone/39150771 Note: I can't recall if you need to be rooted to grab an APK. If you do you might want to just buy a used Nexus 7 (2012). They should be well under $100 now.
