According to the releases it has gorilla glass 5 and it says it can withstand a drop from 6 ft onto concrete without breaking 80% of the time. How does that translate to, say, 150 ft and falling into a grassy meadow, from a bird's talons? I will say this - your dedication to your gimmick is second to none.

This would look like: adb shell pm list packages | findstr "inputmethod" adb shell pm list packages | grep "inputmethod" "Hide" the app with: adb shell pm hide "packagename" (where you would replace "packagename" with the name acquired in step 3) Example: adb shell pm hide com.sec.android.inputmethod it shouldn't require any intervention on the phone

Duo will eventually be able to do voice calls. So Duo will do video and voice calls. Allo will probably do IM and SMS (but not Google Voice...that'll probably stay on Hangouts...even if it DID use Voice SMS, you'd still need the voice app).

Have there been rumors of Allo doing IM? I thought the entire point of Duo and Allo was that they didn't require an account to use.

So I'm confused with the Allo thing, since this is like Google's 5th messaging platform. Does it do regular SMS too, or do you have to use Messenger/Hangouts/OEM made app for that?

I certainly wouldn't pay to fix a Nexus 5 at this point, just sell as is and look for a new phone. But that new phone probably wouldn't be a Blu anything.

I used one for a few weeks just to see what it would be like to live with. I'd still be using it if it had a 5Ghz WiFi radio. The building I work in is metal and they turned off the 2.4 wifi and went to 5Ghz only.

Try adb uninstall packagename I think what you're doing is basically triggering the normal uninstall procedure (by using an intent) which is why you see the dialog. Also it may not be possible to remove some things, I'm not sure, so you might have to try just hiding them like someone said up there

I was willing to switch to Allo as a data based messaging app, since that's what Hangouts does for me currently, but it's dead to me without a web interface.

I'd be happy to switch if it used Allo when both numbers had Allo and SMS when not. So it could just seamlessly replace messenger without me having to do anything.

I've been thinking lately that it'd be pretty sweet if my phone was more mobile access to my computer instead of a Grindr machine. How viable/bad of an idea would it be to install a light distro like Arch and permanently use it for VNC?

I asked in the wear thread but didn't get a reply: My Huawei watch connected to my Z5 via Bluetooth, obviously. Most mornings it goes nuts prompting me to allow them to pair again - is there some setting I'm missing that's causing them to time out their connection?

What is the good phone on Verizon? I have no idea how they work with their different names and branding. My wife is looking to replace her 2014 Moto X. I think she's just looking for something reasonably sized and that will last two years.

The only three devices I could imagine recommending are the HTC Ten, the Galaxy S7, and the forthcoming Nexus which isn't out yet but will be on and sold by Verizon. No date on that last one and your wife's opinion of "reasonably sized" was not taken into account.

Are HTC as horrible about consistent updates as pretty much everyone who isn't literally Google? My next phone will probably be a Nexus 6P unless this year's Nexus models really blow me away, but I always like to have options.

Duo seems to be doing quite well in the "popular and well-reviewed" arena. This Allo/Duo poo poo is so irritating because I don't really care if I use Hangouts or use those two apps, but mobile-only is god drat unacceptable.

I really don't understand this, the app is so simple and feature-lacking but is just another social interaction app in the sea of others. It doesn't do it particularly better than others can, except at being another Google communication app. How it's more popular than Pokemon Go is honestly beyond me.

It was just released to massive hype, so of course it is going to light up the boards when everyone installs it. I like it. Does one thing reasonably well with no additional setup or fuckery. This thread, and Reddit, seems to demand a million features, then gets pissy when they don't work exactly like what they envisioned. I use this thread as my example as to why we shouldn't exclusively do what our customers think they want at work.
