Incidentally some foreign object is stuck in my phone's headphone jack. If only I had a good pair of bluetooth budz.

Premature ejacula- posted:Just set your photos/files to sync and apps to update over WiFi only and the current data caps aren't too restrictive. This is the sticking point. I can deal with music streaming traffic, but photos and video are brutal. My max upload speed at home is 25KB/s (which completely cripples me from doing anything else). If I take a 200meg video and 4 photos a day (which I do) that's 3 hours of upload time every day.

Logikv9 posted:Jesus christ how paper thin are people making their phones to have to consider removing the headphone jack I imagine it's more a concern of space for battery. Lose the headphone jack and you're freeing up a headphone jack's worth of space internally, plus any various signal poo poo needed to output the audio as well as receive input from a mic that isn't just included with the infrastructure to do it via bluetooth.

Honestly the hassle of charging your earbuds every few days could well be less than that of untangling cables/cables getting snagged on jacket or doorhandles/poo poo getting trapped in headphone jack. I'm in favour if they can make the headphones also Qi-compatible

Can we not just use USB-C as a way to output sound instead? Why do we even need a separate port for this?

Doesn't using digital output for headphones necessitate a DAC to be integrated into the headphones? That seems lovely Why not just use a 2.5mm jack if you need to be able to fold your phone into your wallet or whatever

So, picked up a 6P two weeks ago, as an upgrade from my Nexus 5. Wireless charging on the Nexus 5 was an excellent feature. Many a night when I came home exhausted, I'd just slap the thing onto my Tylt Vu charger, secure in the knowledge that it would be fully charged when I woke in the morning, no dexterity required. I don't miss it on the 6P. Battery life, quick-charging, and Doze means that my typical regimen is, instead, to quickcharge the phone for about an hour at the late night if I think I might want to, and leave the phone unplugged on the bedside all night, secure in the knowledge that it'll be ready to take on the day the next morning, and can top it up to full if I feel like it in about 15 minutes. At this point, I'm pretty much used to the size. It won't sit in my shirt pockets without sticking out, which is a bit of an annoyance, but I'll deal with that.

I have BT headphones for exercise and they rule. But I like my wired headphones more because they are cheaper and I can switch devices without having to gently caress with Bluetooth somehow.

I recently upgraded from a Nexus 4 to a Nexus 6P. So far the phone is great, but I'm having a weird problem. I took the AT&T GoPhone SIM out of my N4 and put it into my 6P without issue, but I don't seem to be getting LTE on my 6P. It still says HSPA or H on the cell bars. I live in a major city and I know for a fact there is LTE coverage here. Is there some setting I'm missing for the 6P to activate it? Sorry for the stupid question, but I am a pretty big cell phone newb.

Audio/Video sync is still a complete shitshow with Bluetooth and Android. I prefer to not have my video look like a poorly dubbed movie.

It could be old enough that it's not provisioned for LTE.

Astrotrain posted:Doesn't using digital output for headphones necessitate a DAC to be integrated into the headphones? That seems lovely That is exactly right. Having the DAC be on the headphones will either inflate the cost of the good ones, or make the cheap ones even shittier. Not to mention making analog cans obsolete without external DACs, with the same problems on top. You could go Bluetooth, and most would. The downside for that is the same as it ever was. Namely, 2 steps of sound quality degradation, possibly flaky connection, and having to charge. Given that the only thing you gain is a millimeter or two of thickness for the trade off, it doesn't make too much sense to me.

So I've got a weird issue and I'm not sure if this is the right thread. It is Android related though, so here goes! I just bought an Android 4.4 car stereo. So far I'm pretty stoked to be able to have all the customization and great car apps right in dash, but I have a bit of an issue with streaming music from my phone. My old stereo is a Pioneer single-DIN CD unit with BT for phone and streaming. When I use it for audio streaming over BT, I'm able to use the receiver to FF/RW tracks, and the track info displays on the stereo itself. On the new Android model, I do audio streaming through the BT phone app. The controls are still there, but no track info is displayed. It seems like a really crappy feature to leave out in an app that is made for BT audio. My question is this: Is there an app out there made for use in Android head units that is supposed to act as a BT music player that plays with your paired phone? My searching seems to come up with this other unrelated app that's supposed to play the same track on both devices, but I don't think that's what I actually need. I really just need an app that will control the running audio program on my phone and display the current track info, while outputting to my car stereos. Seems hard to believe my old LCD head unit can do that, but the new one leaves that out.
