The hallmark of good software design: tell it to stop and it will maybe stop eventually sort of.

I guess Google Now did eventually stop notifying me about TV shows I don't watch anymore. But they removed the ability to add shows that I do watch, so...

The OP3 just picked up OxygenOS 4.1.6 which has May 2017 security level. They fixed the only thing that bugged me at all about the phone which was that the proximity sensor wasn't quite sensitive enough.

There was a link a little ways back itt where they demonstrated that while OnePlus says they're at such and such security patch level they don't actually incorporate the fixes so actually you aren't on the May 2017 level (which would be out of date even if were true, which it isn't).

You might be getting things mixed up here, I posted this exact thing about LineageOS a couple days ago.

The original Oneplus shipped with CyanogenOS which got replaced by the Oneplus internally created OxygenOS after the company behind CyanogenOS went to poo poo. OxygenOS now is probably the closest to stock Android you can find outside of Googles own devices.

Not to derail, but it looks like the White Pass Summit train. Skagway is one of the popular Alaskan cruise stops, and the train is one of the excursions available on that stop.

If you have a chance to do an Alaskan cruise, do it without question. Of all the trips I've been on, that's the one that I would absolutely do over minute for minute. The slow cruise through Glacier Bay watching Margerie Glacier calf into the sea from our balcony was the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed.

Continuing the derail, an Alaskan cruise is already on the list to do next year. I'm not big on cruises but one up north sounds amazing. Not so much putzing around in the Caribbean.

Totally nailed it. This must be why they gave you a little blue star.

Going back to the original point, I was really impressed with RZA's picture and have already used it as an example to show several people how good Pixel cameras are.

My 6P has started complaining about not having a SIM card installed, seemingly at random. A reboot fixes it, but the next time I glance at it it'll be back.

I've made phone calls in the last few days without any issue following a reboot, so I'm a little puzzled. Anyone else?

My Nexus 5X is catching LG Disease 14 months after purchase, right on schedule. Battery life has been horrible for days and the phone constantly gives me a notification of "USB supplying power to attached device". Cleaning the port and rebooting did nothing. Seems like a known issue from a quick Google search.

I guess it's G5+ Time instead of holding on until New Pixel Time.

Welp, this probably answers my question. Came here to ask whether I should buy a friend's 5X, which is a brand new (I assume refurb) replacement for a 5X that bootlooped. Is $150 a good deal on a phone that even though is "new" will probably inevitably break and lead me to grabbing a G5+ while I wait for a new Pixel?

Have my Nextbit Robin and I have to say for $130 it is a fabulous phone. It's quick, the build quality is excellent, the screen looks great, it is running Nougat, the fingerprint sensor is very reliable, I actually like it a lot better than the one on my S7 Edge+.

Probably not great for games (I don't play games) but I think it is a steal for $130. I don't know anything else with Quickcharge, NFC and Fingerprint at anywhere near the price.

It's probably not new, everything I've read about the 5X is that they only made the initial production run a year and a half ago, so while maybe it's been sitting in a warehouse more likely it's someone else's lovely 5X made to work just long enough for the customer.

Trip report: it wasn't unseated, but the contacts seemed a little grubby. I've no idea how or why the SIM contacts were grubby as it hasn't been opened since I bought the thing!, but it seems to be working now.

I have an old Asus Nexus 7 that needs upgraded. Every time I click to download the "available update" (Android 4.4.3) it downloads, but then crashes when I click "Restart and Install" - shows a little android guy with his chest open declaring "ERROR!"

Is there a way to upgrade to a more current OS?
