Sometimes that MST stuff causes a card read error, but I just hold it there until it correctly reads. I haven't had any problems with the card being declined. Maybe try removing your credit card and then re-adding it?

I always thought those were nice looking phones in their own special way. Since you seem to know what's up, I say give it a shot. If I needed a phone for a couple months I'd probably go for it myself.

If I needed a phone for a couple months I'd probably go for it myself. Just placed an order. It's EOL but they are promising software and security Update through February of next year, it's on Nugget, the reviews are decent, Snapdragon 808 chipset, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 5.2-inch 1080p display, a 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, NFC, fingerprint sensor, VoLTE, I don't think I can beat $130 for a comparable spec phone. I guess I should have ordered yesterday and saved $13 but whatever. Three Olives fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Jun 15, 2017 |

Main drawback seems to be battery life isn't so great, otherwise it should be a nice stopgap. I actually swapped an old Moto E for the Blu R1 from Amazon recently and was also pleasantly surprised. $60 buys you a much more functional phone than I thought it would, especially since people are still buying the 2015 Moto E for like $30 on eBay. Night and day between those two in terms of being ok to use for awhile.

God damnit. I got my Pixel today and it's too big to reach the upper-right corner one handed. I was afraid of this. 4.7" is the maximum phone size I can handle, and frankly I'd prefer 4.5". I'm sure I'll get used to this, but please, people, make loving human hand sized phones. gently caress. How do people live with these huge goddamn phones?

How do people live with these huge goddamn phones? I have a Pixel XL, lived on the Note line, and have no issues manipulating the phone. I guess don't get married to a single hand position that worked on small phones? If you sit there with your thumb on one side and your four fingers on the other and that's it, you're not going to have much luck.

Pander posted:yeah my HTC M7 would keep dropping in my Mazda 3, reconnecting, dropping, etc. Usually did it for about 15 minutes before it would stabilize and not drop anymore. Which meant it was useless for my 20 minute commute. Funnily enough my N6P was always perfect in my Mazda 3 but the iPhone 7 Plus that replaced it was flakey until the dealer updated the car software.

vyst posted:ColdPie with the Trump hands Naw, man, check it out. I'm stretching as far as I can go without discomfort here. The pad of my thumb is well short of the overflow menu. If I really stretch, I can just barely tap it, but that makes me feel like I'm going to slip and drop it. I never heard the term "pinkie shelf". Is there any other way to hold a phone? This is how I've been doing it for 6+ years. No way I'm not using the pinkie, that's asking for an $800 disaster. What'm I doing wrong here? Show me how you use it one-handed. Enlighten me.

Hey that was my first smartphone too! I actually dug it out back when I got my 6P for the hilarious size comparison and I had completely forgotten about the trackball thing. It was a good idea best used for moving the cursor when entering text and not much else, but it felt like the future when I used it.

No way I'm not using the pinkie, that's asking for an $800 disaster. If I need to use the upper portion of the screen (not too common, I'll admit), I just hold it flatter and forgo the pinkie shelf so I can shift the phone lower in my hand.

Just use the index finger on the other hand the fraction of a percent of the time you need to hit the button, simple

The Huawei Nova 2 is slightly smaller than the Pixel and seems like a good mid-range option if it ever gets sold outside of Asia and as long as you don't mind China getting to read your emails before the NSA does.

Is there a way to customize what google now notifies me about? If I could stop the 'video highlights available' notifications for sports events I have no interest in (totally different teams/divisions from my teams) that would be great. I've got my three teams selected in the settings for google now but it keeps showing me poo poo for other teams, and ideally I'd like to not get the video highlights available notification at all.

Just tell it you're not interested in those items. It will eventually stop. Of course a couple times a year it forgets that I've told it I'm not interested and start popping them back up again.
