LifeSunDeath posted:got the flat s7 and it's been a super good phone Yeah don't worry about the phone in the shower, it's fine. I've sprayed water directly into the charge port and fully submerged it. gently caress, Linus Tech Tips proved you can take the loving thing 60 meters underwater (as long as you don't press the button then).

. I take it into the shower (in a plastic bag) to watch vids, might be water proof but I'm trying to be careful. Also it's very snappy compared to last model.

strangemusic posted:Haptic vibrating Neat, I didn't realize such a thing existed. Is it distracting? What do you play? If guitar, which wrist do you wear it on? Link?

Geoj posted:How well does it work? I don't know yet. It hasn't arrived from shipping. But I am keen to try. However in response to your and Lawen's questions: I play drums, and audible click in a monitor mix, etc. is something I would consider a necessary evil at best, but also being a studio nerd I will never be without it out of habit. Editing drums that were not tracked to tempo is a living nightmare. The internal motor is supposed to be way, way stronger than the equivalent type in a phone, etc. so I hope it will be discernible. It comes with a watch band as well as an arm/leg band so I guess you can wear it wherever makes the most sense for you. Neat things it can do: MIDI sync to DAW tempo over Bluetooth with a plugin on the DAW side (this is loving GLORIOUS for me and a major selling point.) Bluetooth coordination so groups of them can sync together. Tap tempo, duh. And a set-list function. Also has a companion app so you can set up whatever time signature, subdivisions, accents, etc. you want.

Just throw away your cheap broken depreciated garbage phone and be phone-less like the poor person you are." Who sees phones as anything other than a tool? Like, I don't care it depreciates. If anything that makes me want last year's phone so much more. I just want a phone that works well until I have to buy a new one because it finally died.

Not to poo poo on anyone's case preferences, hell I like my Nexus 6 I got new years 2015 due to this thread way better without a case... But I especially love Project Fi and my ~$30 phone bills every month, and that requires that I keep a pretty recent Google phone, so Spigen case it is. gently caress replacing this tool unless it really needs it.

When I upgrade phones, I usually sell my older one for hundreds of dollars because it works and is in good comestic condition despite heavy usage due to cases/screen protectors. None of my phones have ever "died" on me, cept for one or two occassions where warranty covered me. Do you like money? I do! Imagine if you had an extra 100 to 300 dollars in your pocket after upgrading to the latest and greatest! Take care of your poo poo and someone will pay you money for it when you're done using stuff, guys. It's really not that hard of a concept. KingSlime has a new favorite as of 21:32 on Mar 2, 2017 |

Sometimes yeah, especially if you get new phones at promo or discounted prices. It's pretty great, plenty of people do this. Mini computers hold their value quite well. Haha I think comparing a consumer good to a girlfriend is more indicative of a mental disorder than is the act reselling your used electronics for 50% or more of their original value KingSlime has a new favorite as of 21:41 on Mar 2, 2017 |

70 bucks, really? And it keeps up with an iphone? What phone is it? Link? My experience with sub 200 dollar phones is that they are absolute hot trash unless all you do is text, but I haven't bought a budget phone in over four years.

My mother finally traded in her flip phone about a year an a half ago for a Droid Maxx, and immediately called me to ask what was wrong, and why her battery was always dying. I asked, "Well how long does it last?" She said, "I only had to charge my old phone once a week; I have to charge this thing every two days!"

And yet that phrase appears neither anywhere on the dust jacket, nor in the three THE ROCK™-themed recipes ("THE ROCK'S™ Famous Rock-Bottom Pancakes," "THE ROCK'S™ 'Smack-aroni' Salad," and "THE ROCK'S™ Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies"). Maybe this was before he started saying that thing. It is alarming how many of the wrestlers with recipes in this book are now dead.
