That was like 3 hours SOT, which isn't much over 3 days but sometimes that's all I need when I'm in front of a proper computer 24/7. Usually I get about 2 days if I'm not on SA too much, which destroys the battery with lovely JS much faster somehow.

That's a nice looking ROM(?). Never thought I'd say that. Mainly the blurred frosted background, it goes a long way to sprucing up the UI.

It's just a theme. I like how they make the nav buttons look, but not crazy about the background.

I've discovered an S6 with a case can be made to work upright on the Tylt Vu by placing something on the base, so that the phone sits 1 to 2 centimeters higher.

I've just gotten used to leaving the phone sideways. Works on the Note 4 and my wife's S6 (edge).

So, I love my Moto X 2013.

And I finally have a bluetooth device on me at all times.

So, of course I enabled trusted devices. The only issue is that doing so completely disables the lock screen, rendering it prone to unwanted input. Is there a way to make it kick back to a standard slide lock when it is connected to a trusted device? Or am I stuck waiting for Lollipop to roll out before I get that option?

'Startocaster' is more fun to say than I expected.
Speaking of the G3...I decided to go with it. It seemed like the best combination of price and power on the current gen phones. Is there any decent cases that still allow you to use wireless charging? I saw there is one that is kind of a flip case. Not really liking that one too much.

Also, any recommendations on wireless chargers. This is my first phone with it.

Depends on exactly what model you have - my normal international model (D855 I think) has wireless charging built right in so will work with any case (well within reason)

As for chargers I can't recommend one but will say the G3 is a lot pickier than my N4 or N7 - it simply won't charge off the very cheap no name pad that worked fine on the old devices.

My supposedly comes with it built in. I have never used wireless charging before and was just worried that a case would interfere with it. It sounds like most simple cases will work just fine. Guess I will have to look closer at reviews for chargers. Thanks.

Any confirmation on the LG G4 having an 810 or 808? I would much rather go with the G4 than the S6 but given the weaker processor (808) or the overheating issues (810) I may be stuck going with the S6

So, my girlfriend has had her S6 less than 2 days and the metal on the bottom is rubbing off onto the front of the phone and it seems permanent as it won't clean off. This happened when she walked about a mile with the phone in the front of her jeans pocket with nothing else in it. These are normal jeans and not tight or anything like that. It would seem some is off with the metal on this phone and this problem will just get worse over time.

Is this something covered under warranty?

As much as I'd love to call Samsung out on lovely build quality, you can see a dent in the outer rim just underneath where the metal is "rubbing off." Are you sure nothing else happened to it?

Dirk Funk
Mar 17, 2009
No, it was in a jeans pocket with nothing else. She said it actually got worse from when she first saw it just from the walk home.

It looks to me like the friction from just walking causes the metal to wear in that spot causing that "dent".

The phone wasn't dropped or anything like that.

It looks like it fell on the floor or something. Can't vouch for my S6 because I have a case on it though.

Mystery solved.

After asking it turns out she had the phone in her front pocket with the screen facing inward. She was wearing a spiked belt and the phone rubbed her belt since it stuck out of her pocket a bit.

I told her to put it in her back pocket until she gets a case.

Apart from that, is there anything that would take that smudge off the glass?

It looks like the belt rubbed off the white on the phone bezel. If it's really a smudge, good luck. If it's removed the coating, you're screwed.

I don't know, I don't have that phone. That could just be discoloration from the metal rubbing on whatever material is on that part of the phone.

Because cheap poo poo sells and a lot of people need a phone to function in society and can't afford a good one, because that is the nature of unopposed global capitalism.

Also ^ ^ ^ yeah that. It DOES look like whatever metallic coating was on the rim of the phone got deposited on the face of it.

People who "need a phone to function" aren't buying the newest, latest phone at launch.
