MrBond posted:Google needs a phone nice enough that they're happy to use it internally without getting whatever actual consumers buy. Basically google employees don't want to get Samsung'd. Well that but really Google needs a reference device to develop Android for and since they are rolling in money and every other phone manufacturer has decided that they are going to load their high-end phones up with poo poo they might as well fund their own. Google will always have their own phone to develop for, they have to target something, they are just nice enough to sell them to the public instead of just having internal target platforms.

Tunga posted:80% of our users are on Samsung devices so we do have to target them specifically in the sense of working around their stupid platform bugs and aggressive memory management. Though I refuse to use one for general development purposes. Yeah, that's the thing about Samsung- they're ubiquitous, and so apps that require hardware calibration tend to work better with them than than they do with the competition. As a musician, there are a number of apps I use that rely upon the phone's microphone like dB-meters and chromatic tuners. These never worked well on either my Droid Turbo or my Droid DNA... hell not even on my Galaxy Nexus, if it comes to that. Since getting the S7, all of a sudden they work perfectly. Now, obviously that's a niche market, and I would certainly be better served by using purpose-designed hardware (I've got hardware tuners and dB meters but I don't always want to drag them around with me, especially to non-paying gigs) but the fact of the matter is that having the standard piece of hardware for the apps is beneficial.

Note7 battery bomb talk got me concerned about my farming wall of Galaxy Nexus'. I just picked up a box of twenty batteries for them on ebay to switch them all out because some of the old batteries are like one inch thick now.

Out of curiosity, anyone have any thoughts on how the Note7 recall will affect Samsung? A buddy is worried that they'll tank, and is wary of buying any Samsung products now. I don't think it'll be that bad, but admittedly I don't really know that much about major business.

So I now have two computers that are incapable of restarting from sleep since upgrading to Windows 10. Both try and wake, them immediately reboot (one of them actually seems to reboots a couple of times), before resuming from the hibernate file instead. I know that's what happening because if I disable hibernation on them, thus getting rid of the hibernate file, then I see the same behaviour, except they don't resume their previous state when they start up, it's like they've been freshly booted. Looking at the behaviour alone I would normally definitely put it down to a hardware problem, but both machines were perfectly capable of waking from sleep before I put W10 on them. It's very annoying. I've tried a lot of pissing about, fiddling with BIOS settings, and unplugging as many drives and things as possible on one of them, and it's made no difference so far.

Internet Explorer posted:Have you tried hitting your PCs against your desk? It seems to work well for Android phones. You're joking, but I know people who have done this to their laptops...and desktops. ANYWAY. What's the likelyhood of Nougat not showing up on the 6P and 6 due to Qualcomm loving around again? Also, anyone with a 5X had reboot loops going on?

Sorry, has the release N version for the 6P been delayed? I'm not in the beta program and I'd rather not wipe at this point to unlock my bootloader (for a manual flash).

BLU R1 HD report: It's a great phone for a great price, as long as you manage your expectations, especially after rooting and debloating. The speaker's a little quiet, the dpi is a little low, the screen isn't super sensitive, but none of that will make me pay 10x more for an unloaded flagship.

It looks like there are 6P folks who are running release N. It's the 6 that doesn't seem to have it yet. (I certainly don't, but I'm on T. Mobile, which generally means that, even on an unlocked Nexus, I'll probably get it like a month after everyone else does.)

So for the 6P it looks like the regular multi-week OTA rollout then? I wasn't worrying that I hadn't got it yet because I know it can take a bit for an OTA to reach all devices.

The factory images for the 6P and 6 aren't up and the only devices that have the actual non-DP to RTM OTA are 5X and Pixel, I believe. The 6P and 5X both can get Nougat if you register for DP5, but there's no other way to get it if you're on 6P (or 6) and Google's been characteristically silent it seems.
