DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.

The T is always a pretty modest upgrade, there was no SoC upgrade at all going from the 6 to the 6T.

Yeah, but there was at least something. The 6T went to narrower bezels with the teardrop notch, updated camera modules, in display fingerprint reader.

For the OnePlus 7T Pro, i uhhhh, got nothing. The 7T is at least rumored to also get the 90hz screen so it will have some upgrade over the 7 and really takes away one of the main selling points of the Pro. The 7T Pro though, what in the hell could they change aside from putting the 855+ in there, there's no newer hardware or design trends to chase and we know from the leaked render that it's still a popup FFC and in display fingerprint reader.

Maybe Oneplus will finally cave on wireless charging?

I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.
I'm excited to see what they come up with, I'm itching to get rid of my P2 because it's battery is kinda shot by now and buy either a P4(XL?) Or OP7T (Pro?)

I wonder if they will release the 7T in the US since they didn't do it for the regular 7.

Am I crazy for wanting to jump ship to Apple, when I'm interested in some more extensive/integrated health tracking? Seems they're relatively pro-active in thinking up new things to track or analyze (whereas for instance entities like Samsung are largely reactive to their ideas, Google's just half-assing it since forever), and they have a silo app most companies want to integrate with.

Meanwhile on Android, I either have to hope the various services support each others APIs, or have to mess around with apps like HealthSync to bridge things, which in turn seem to be hellbent breaking permissions given every few days with yet another update.
Not crazy, but there are android solutions unless you're wholly against using more than one app to do it.
I use a miband (they're about $30) and the app can be synced to Samsung health / Google fit using healthsync. I've quite literally never had a permissions error in ~1 year of this setup, though sometimes healthsync will fail and require you to do this manually. Once a month or less, at no great inconvenience.
I don't know what metrics Apple capture that this setup doesn't.

e: the golden ticket for me was exempting all these apps from battery management. Once you do that it's a set and forget and it just works. I imagine the permissions errors are more likely a stopped app.

It is same exact chip, just binned higher. In other words it is "less hosed up" on a microscopic level, which allows it to be clocked higher without risking a crash. It might even be that they aren't necessarily binned higher, rather that the phone has to have good enough heat dissipation before Qualcomm allows it to be clocked that high and branded as a Plus. Architecturally / feature-wise there is no difference.

The 7t is going to have a big round camera bump so maybe a better camera? That's all I can think of.

That's the 7t though, it's also getting 90hz according to the leaks. The 7T pro has been leaked as the same form factor.

I noticed a few weeks ago that my Huawei Mate SE's screen and body had separated, possibly because of an expanded battery, so the screen protruded from my relatively thick case which meant it shattered next time I dropped it. I had to call six places to find somewhere that serviced Huawei phones at all. He said he could have the screen in a few days, but replacement batteries are totally unavailable from all of his state side vendors and he'd have to order it on eBay from China.

Given the likely repair cost and uncertainty with OS and security updates, is the phone really worth fixing at this point?

It isn't, I'm sharing to warn people of one downside of venturing far off the beaten path with unknown-in-the-west brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, & OnePlus. If your phone gets damaged, you might be stuck up poo poo creek without a paddle, especially if you live outside a major urban area.

What's the best way to update from the last beta to release without losing data while leaving the beta channel?

If your bootloader is unlocked, its as easy as getting the latest factory image, and using fastboot to run the FlashAll.BAT file after removing the -W from the script which wipes the phone.

That flashes everything and makes sure your phone is fully up to date really. Otherwise if you are locked down still, you get to just wait for the OTA to go from Beta to Final I suppose.

So I sideloaded the OTA on my Pixel 3XL and now it just boots to the Google screen and never gets any further. It's been sitting for about ten minutes.

UGH why did I do this.

When you try to leave the beta program they show you a scary "we will send you an ota that will delete everything" message.
I guess maybe update to release and then turn beta off because they can't send you an ota when you are already on the latest official release was the way to do it.

Yea I believe if you leave the beta mid beta then it does drop you back to official with a wipe as technically you are going backwards a version and that can mess stuff up.

Dropping into the official release first should prevent that, but as I do all my flashing manually still I am not speaking from direct experience here. Others here who have messed with the beta program only using OTA's should be able to chime in to confirm though.

You don't need to leave the beta after it has been released as that beta only applied for android 10. You will still need to opt-in for future betas, you don't need to leave the beta to get the final release, should show up today for you if you press the "check for updates" or wait for your rollout time.

I checked earlier and there was nothing, 20min later and it installed.

Full gesture feels weird, probably gonna stick with 2-button. I'll give it a day or two, we'll see.

Making the home screen go back to squircles was another step more convoluted compared to 9. They're gonna remove it next version, aren't they?
