My 6P starting to do the thing where when it says I have 15% battery left, I've got like 5 minutes before it shuts off and the battery is seemingly not lasting for near as long as it used to. That's the battery going to poo poo, right?

This has happened to me a handful of times, so I finally contacted Google (well Fi, where I bought it) to ask about a warranty replacement. They very helpfully sent back recommendations about improving battery life! Somehow me saying "the phone shuts down at 20%" means "my battery is draining too fast." Anyway good luck. I wanted this phone to last another year, but maybe the Pixel 2 is in my future.

Alan_Shore posted:Well I was curious if there are any significant changes or additions or if it's just under the hood stuff. You haven't mentioned any new features, just that there are no problems, so is O more of a stability update? https://www.android.com/versions/oreo-8-0/ There's a roundup at the bottom. Some of it's features that developers will need to add to apps (which might have to wait til they're backported to the support library so they work on older devices too), but there's UI and system stuff as well One of the main features is they've improved updating, so things like system and security updates can happen more easily. Fonts (including the emoji font) can be downloaded and updated too, so apps can use those - and that's in the support library so older devices can get them too. So there's a lot of stuff you'll only notice in the future instead of instant

I'm looking for a good intersection of Cheap/Large/Thin for an android tablet, but it doesn't have to be very powerful. Planning on mounting it as a digital calendar/etc. Any tips?

How cheap, large, and thin? I've bought quite a few of the low end Amazon tablets for myself and others as gifts. They seem pretty robust and if anything ever went wrong with them, I'd probably have better luck with Amazon support compared to some no-name manufacturer. The 8inch one is like...70 bucks. I put the Play Store on one of them with little effort. The Amazon Echo looks neat, but it's vastly more expensive. More than I'd be willing to shell out.

It'd be neat to see this optimized for. Slower processor, low power draw, put the "guts" in the frame. Some kind of two-stage battery that would let you charge it without turning it off and without taking it off the wall. Like one of the frame sides is removable and can be charged like an external battery pack, and when you reattach it, it charges the non-removable battery.

If it's possible to tell the notification to sleep for a million hours via an api call or whatever, can someone here write an app that just does that single thing on boot then shuts itself down? Save having to run full blown tasker to do it

hello a question i dont understand phone: if apps on my phone can sorta instantly give me a notification, does it mean in the background its constantly sending or receiving info would this contribute to slowdown or is the footprint so small it doesnt matter

I don't know all about how it works under the hood, but I think it just takes a tiny bit more memory and a tiny bit more CPU once the event occurs, not counting the big or small chunk of code it might then execute.

I meant notifications happening locally, like an app detecting if you are connected to wifi, which could perhaps consume a lot of battery. If it's notifying you of something online it can be both kinds. The real deal push way is an official Google thing where the app makers has to set it up properly. Your phone OS keeps checking a specific place on Google's servers, but it's efficient and shared between all apps that receive push notifications. The app maker sends the notification to Google, your phone OS gets it from there and wakes the app with the message. The other way is just as you say, the app itself running in the background, constantly asking if a thing is there. Loads of apps work like this, for instance a free weather thing that doesn't have any of their own back end servers, downloads weather data from a 3rd party and alerts you if there's a weather warning.

So, the Moto Z Play (2016) battery hype train is real. I picked one up on Friday to replace the Droid Z I have as a spare phone since I switched to T-Mobile now. Granted, it's in WiFi only mode at the moment because my SIM isn't in it, but it's still impressive. I'm at 1 day 23 hours since last charge with 3 hours 12 min SoT and I'm at 51% battery.

Maybe some time around Android Y Google will finally figured out system-wide light/dark themes, only to remove the option in Z. Is the Moto G5+ plus charger base unreasonably large in all variants or is it just the Australian one that's purposely designed to be a cm too wide to ever be able to plug anything else next to it?

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Only thing bugging me about my new XL is it seems like it can take a noticably longer time to recognize when I plug headphones in. Like audio paused, plug in earbuds, take 3-5 seconds to get them in my ears, hit play, still might come out of the speakers. No one responded to this, so I'll at least say this has never happened to me. I use headphones every day with my XL, both in the gym and while commuting. The switch from external speakers to headphones is functionally instant. Maybe a half second pause or something, but definitely nothing like you've described. Sorry I can't offer a solution. For what it's worth I'm just using cheaper earbuds, and usually Google Music or YouTube.

It was about 5-10 minutes on the phone before I have a RMA ready and an order for a replacement on it's way. Back when my charger died, I couldn't get them to replace it because they literally have no record of my phones IMEI nor of my Google account ever having bought a 6P.  I'm just going to carry a USB battery pack around until I can't stand it any more and them see what I should buy at that time.

I just dropped my 1st Gen Moto G and the screen is shattered. It still works, apart from the slivers of screen removing my fingerprints when I use it. Would you bother trying to replace the screen yourself - or just get a second hand phone off ebay (I am reasonably technically capable and managed to replace the battery on it without breaking anything)

My LG tone pros don't exhibit the delay, turning on or off. My Bluetooth speaker exhibits some lag when disconnecting. It takes twenty seconds for the pixel to figure out what happened. It may be a certain class of devices that behave strangely.
