People who want their phone to work reliably, don't use CyanogenMod anymore. Not even phones that came out with it. (OnePlus lol)

You realize that in most cases all someone needs is access to your email to reset your banking password, right? Are you really this dense? Or is using email on your phone a 'genuinely bad idea' too? Please just stop.

"Stringent?" No, the average person has no concept of software let alone software security. That doesn't mean you do really dumb poo poo like flash some random XDA ROM.

bull3964 posted:Lenovo has cracked the bones and sucked out the marrow of Motorola. The Z series looks kind of decent too, but with how Lenovo has dropped the ball on supporting software on any other Motorola phone I still wouldn't buy it. I mean, I shattered my S7 Edge, so I picked up my MXP for a backup and the newest security update is still May. They don't give a poo poo about supporting phones.

Vykk.Draygo posted:I know nothing about the Home. How do you activate it? Tell me it's not "okay google". I already accidentally trigger my phone every time I try to talk to my watch. Taffer posted:They fixed that with the Home, allegedly. Any other devices nearby won't respond if the Home picks you up. Yep, with the Home on no amount of yelling "OK Google" from anyone triggered anything but the Home. The only "issue" I've noticed so far is that when I left to go to work and fired up Google Play music, it (not immediately, even) killed the Play Music stream that was going on the Home. I probably just need to upgrade to a family plan and perhaps pair the Home to a different Google account instead of mine. Thermopyle posted:Your posts are wrong. Stop doubling down on your wrongness. If you don't personally scrub every line of code in your phone's firmware and hardware, you might as well just set your passwords to 1234. Obviously. Edit, from the Ars link: quote:This is very much a "public" multi-user device, but it only supports one Google account. A checkbox lets you disable private data exposure, but it seems like we're going to need some other solution for this. I'm half tempted to work around this slightly by making a "family" Google account. IOwnCalculus fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Nov 4, 2016 |

I miss the headphones icon for the music app from 5.0, but I'm irrationally really really angry about the white circle design in 7.0. Everything else about this works, but those app icons are the worst.
