I mean yes, but curious if anybody has had similar problems with the S7 as "just get the Pixel" is another $649 before anything else.

Considering how obscure an issue it is, is it something that they could have just missed in the last update of the clock app? Also, is there an app that can do what the dev for Pure Nexus did to get one handed mode?  You swipe left or right on the bottom button bar to shrink the screen for use with one hand via thumb. Works really well on the big screen of the 6P and I figure the PixelXL would be great for it as well.

I can't reproduce that clock bug on my Samsung Galaxy S7. Y'all have been Googled. Never settle for Pixel. Any thoughts on this network error that's plaguing me on my Samsung Galaxy S7?

I've got a moto x 2013 (bought end 2014, so I've only had it 2.5 years), and was looking at the moto g5 plus, and comparing the processors in both (when I thought it was the qualcomm 817, but apparnetly it's the 825, which nobody knows anything about?). It looks like yeah, it is an improvement, but the 817 at least is not anything special. I was looking at the qualcomm 835 though and that looks like it would be a massive improvement. So I suppose I'm waiting for the pixel 2. I want to get the same phone for my wife and I so that we can have the same problems/fixes. Also gently caress rooting phones, I don't want to do it any more. It took my pokemon go away from me. Also, my phone can't use the new Fire Emblem app for some reason. Those aren't really big enough reasons to upgrade. I don't watch movies on my phone, and normally sit at a computer. It's good for waze, phone calls, messaging while in work meetings, and facebook. I suppose for now I'll just wait and see what's announced.

Sprint ran an hour and a half diagnostic on my Galaxy S7 and it even got to over 100 degrees and their conclusion was "Well that's normal." So I'm selling the fucker and just ordered a Pixel. It'll be here in March. Phones shouldn't be triple digits by just being on.

DaveSauce posted:Also, what's the best backup option for texts/contacts/etc? SB35 posted:You should really factory reset it before you do lose data. Check contacts.Google.Com, as long as you're signed into your Google account all your contacts should be saved there. In the Google photos app you should also setup automatic photo backup to Google drive. As far as SMS, I don't bother with backups I know a couple options exist. Someone will post about it. Anyone have any suggestions?

DaveSauce posted:Anyone have any suggestions? As SB35 said, go to contacts.google.com and verify your contacts are there. If so, there's nothing you need to do on that front. If they aren't, you need to sync your contacts to Google. As THF13 and bull said, SMS Backup & Restore (now owned by Carbonite) is great for transferring SMS to a new device, but THF13 is right about SMS Backup+, it's a far better long term solution.

I dunno, I'm finding SMS Backup+ to be pretty sloppy now. It starts to have issues with threading and it doesn't handle MMS very well (can't restore.) It is batshit insane that we have to have this conservation at all rather than just having our messages backed up and in a pretty searchable interface online that can be restored. But. Google.

bull3964 posted:I dunno, I'm finding SMS Backup+ to be pretty sloppy now. It starts to have issues with threading and it doesn't handle MMS very well (can't restore.) I think the point is that once they're in GMail there's no point in restoring. Just keep the last 25 or so messages in a thread for context and truncate as you go. bull3964 posted:It is batshit insane that we have to have this conservation at all rather than just having our messages backed up and in a pretty searchable interface online that can be restored. But. Google. You can't even search Hangouts unless you do it in GMail (unsearchable in Inbox and on hangouts.google.com). At least SMS Backup+ solves that problem elegantly, though I've never seen the threading issues to which you refer and I never receive MMSs so that might be part of it . I know everyone sees IM/SMS as ephemeral nowadays but I'd say 95%+ of my searches in GMail are for chatlogs to surface information I needed from a chat. It's so convenient to just be able to tell someone something knowing I'll be able to find it later and I'd consider it a huge loss of utility if whatever chat platform I was on didn't have searchable logs (like, say, Allo).

I still have chat logs on my phone, but no longer in Gmail or backed up on Google drive. If I lose my phone THEN SO BE IT.

My part of any MMS conversation, whether it be group MMS or me sending a picture or something gets its own thread. So, any normal text I send, it shows up in gmail properly as from me threaded with the other side of the conversation. For normal SMS, the email gets delivered to gmail as from my email address to the other side of the conversations (email address if they are in my contacts, phonenumber@unkown.email otherwise). However, any MMS message I send gets delivered to gmail as FROM myphonenumber@unknown.email to my email address. So, the other side of the conversation isn't included at all. So, I have a long thread of just my MMS responses that are mixed across multiple conversations.

Oh, hey, it's the time of year when HTC claims they are only going to make a handful of phones. I think it was only like 3 weeks ago when they said they would immediately release another flagship when the snapdragon 835 was available in quantity. http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-leaving-ultra-competetive-entry-level-smartphone-market-focus-churning-profit quote:Chang responded in part by saying "We are going to get out of the entry level part, which I think is ultra competitive and we're not necessarily going to benefit from a profitability perspective here. To us, profitability on the smartphone is going to be quite important." Sorry HTC. The crowded and most dubious value segment is that "mid-range" you want to retreat into. And if 7 SKUs is cutting back, you have problems. It should be 3 MAYBE 4 SKUs max. Take a page from Moto's book and release an analog to the G line. Then design your high end phone. Then release a version of it with a 1080p screen and a SD6xx processor and you have your midrange with little R&D needed so you can keep the price under $400 to make it more attractive. Dumping the low end is a bad move from a branding perspective. If people have a good experience with a $200 simple, solid, HTC entry level phone, people will me more likely to move up the chain later.

That makes sense if you aren't using them. I do, often, so obviously I have reason to want to retain them. That being said, I don't know that I've ever looked at SMSs but it's so trivial to retain them that I feel like I should. bull3964 posted:MMS is the issue. Yeah I just can't bring myself to care about MMS. I'm not certain I've ever received one. bull3964 posted:Oh, hey, it's the time of year when HTC claims they are only going to make a handful of phones. HTC is hapless. It's difficult to imagine anyone taking a look at how they do things and decide to buy one.

Fat_Cow posted:Dang it's been "Label Created" since Tuesday. So I just assumed it was an error Since Tuesday? I doubt you're getting that phone at all. Either they missed the pickup scan and every subsequent checkpoint scan for three days running or it's still in the warehouse. FYI, Google says it's "Shipped" once they create the label, to them that's where they're done with it and FedEx starts with it. When I had Pixels shipped, both took their time in the Label Created state before actually departing the warehouse but I wouldn't expect that with a replacement. Either way you aren't getting that phone today and if you don't see checkpoints by Monday you'll have to have Google file a claim and send you another one.
