Yeah, quick charge is so great and now that I have a quick charge battery pack as well as a quick charger in my laptop bag, car and house, if I don't charge at night it's not a big deal.

drat, the screen protector I ordered doesn't actually fit the screen. Can somebody recommend me one for the Moto X Pure?

I've had a Pleson tempered glass protector on my X Pure for ~5 months now, no problems with it at all and it was like $8 at amazon.

I have QC too, but I still don't understand why you wouldn't just plug your phone in at night. You're not using it, so it's the perfect time to charge it. Why would you leave it while you're sleeping and not touching your phone, and then wake up and plug it in before you go? Is it like some sort of weird power play where because you CAN, you do, even if it really offers no benefit to your lifestyle? Is there some great trial with plugging your phone in at night? :confused:

because sometimes people forget? are you really confused about this? it's the difference between being tethered to a charger all day if you forgot to charge overnight, or just charging while you shower and being good to go.

I've never even heard or known of anyone ( in real life ) who doesn't leave their phone plugged in at night, and have been doing so since my first cell phone 15 years ago or whatever. Not plugging your phone it at night for fear the battery will die, which is contrary to ( anecdotally ) 99% of cell phone owners, is one of the most goony things I have ever seen on these forums. Plug your phone it at night, it takes literally 2 seconds. Be a normal.

95% of the time I do. But if I end up not doing it due to logistics, laziness, etc... it's not a huge deal (especially now with Doze!) and I love that.

I usually don't charge mine at night these days because it has enough juice to last and I have sleepy person mishaps when a phone is plugged into a cord that is just not long enough.

I'm not talking about people forgetting, I'm talking about someone specifically and intentionally not plugging their phone when sleeping for ~reasons~. In that respect, I am genuinely confused why someone would intentionally not charge their phone while they are sleeping - not because you must due to the time it would take to charge ( I don't think there are any 8 hour charging times left w/ modern phones ), but because it just makes sense! You're not using your phone, why wouldn't you charge it?

Unless you are forgetting constantly, and in that case I'm probably the :spergin: because I can only think of 1 time in the past several months where I actually did forget to plug it in. Maybe Big Plug has so brainwashed me to always charge at night that I cannot imagine a world in which you don't charge during sleep.

My Tylt is sitting in the backseat of my car. I sometimes hear gentle sobs coming from it.

Having burned 60% of my battery this morning QC was great to give it a boost. But it would still be nice to have both.

When I had my Moto E (2nd Gen) and I went away on a weekend trip, I'd go without a charger. It was nice having one less thing to bring. My Moto G (3rd Gen) can't do that unfortunately and I do miss that functionality.

Maybe they want to keep the phone by the bed, but they don't have a charger there? Or they want to be able to pick it up without messing with wires. If you can fully charge your phone while you're in the bathroom then maybe that's the better option for some people!

I'll admit it was a bit of a transition going from a crappy $20 flip phone that I had to charge like once every two weeks to a Nexus 6 which needs to be charged daily, but it's not really a big deal. Honestly, as long as people haven't formed their ideas about battery technology in the Victorian era, I don't really care when and how they charge their phones.

(Actually, it doesn't affect me in any way even then, but when has that ever mattered?)

Is there a charger out there that I can operate kinetically? Like instead of using a wall outlet or a usb port on my computer, I'd just turn a crank or shake it something. Something I can use in a power outage or if I'm away from home to charge my phone, basically. Where the limit to my phone's battery life is how long I can make jacking-off motions.

I'd try searching for this myself but I have no idea how to limit the search to get this kind of thing, and if I could I'd still don't know if one works.

Long-press on the Return button if it's not on the bottom right by default. Whether it's the emoji button or Return seems to be app-specific.

Try 'hand crank usb charger'. The reviews for the ones on Amazon aren't great.

My Z3 Compact decided to die after some righteous abuse last year, and wow is the android compact market disappointing right now. The only handset out there with comparable battery life and camera quality to the Z3C is....the Z3C, which Sony discontinued to bolster sales of the grossly inferior M4 Aqua and thus remaining NOS handsets now cost as much as they did at retail 2 years ago.

I can't justify dropping nearly $700 CAD on a two year old phone, but the thought of upsizing to a phablet like the S7 Edge is abhorrent. Ugh. I wish manufacturers could get it together.

Mine wasn't abused but the screen was starting to peel and I was just very underwhelmed with the camera so I flipped mine and now have the Moto X Play. Both extremes, thats pretty much how I do everything. The fact that my hand fat prevents me from touching the opposite top corner when one handing isn't the end of the world I guess. At least I can type worth a gently caress now. You can try the recommend me a phone thread where everyone will tell you to get an iphone.

It isn't quite sub-5" (5.1" screen) but the Galaxy S7 isn't too terribly huge.

It's very comfortable in hand. For those with truly tiny hands, you can (if you turn on the feature) triple-press the home key to shrink things down to the bottom right.
