I often had a hard time seeing it was active on my G3 All the phones people in this thread and most of the United States would use still have the led. That dudes list of linked Samsung phones without leds are the cheap international variants, I have never heard of any of them so it was a super weird critique of the brand

RENEGADE CUCKSKY posted:My 6P recently (as in like the past month) started having awful GPS issues. Does anyone else have a lovely GPS on their 6P? I don't think that's a 6p specific issue. I had it happen on my 6 before I switched to a Note 7 and its happened on that as well. Driving along and freaks out and reroutes me because gps placed me in different location randomly

Reading the note 7 subreddit and the Verizon exchange process is pretty infuriating. They will strip accessories from box if you don't bring them back and the craziest is people having to pay more tax on exchange.

Well looks like every carrier is offering to replace Note 7s now. Do y'all think the Pixel camera is legitimately good? The low light picture taking ability on Samsungs is pretty amazing and I will miss it. I just can't believe traveling for work with a potential bomb in my pocket all the time

RVProfootballer posted:Late night shows have made jokes about it. Every person who has taken a flight in the U.S. in the last whatever (few weeks? month?) has heard an announcement that for safety you cannot use a Samsung Note 7. And it still doesn't matter. Most people have no idea about which phone explodes. I mentioned it to several friends and they just go what? If you read this thread you aren't the average/majority user. I powered down my Note. Verizon actually doesn't have anything official about returning it so I'm back to using the beast aka Nexus 6

RZA Encryption posted:Every time I've flown since all this started every gate makes multiple announcements specifically naming the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. You hear it constantly in the terminal, and then sometimes you hear about it again once you're on the plane. The people hearing this absolutely know exactly which phone it is, and I'm going to make the wild guess that most of them don't read this thread. If you fly for work then you should know that no one loving pays attention. Even more so know since people leave their devices on for the duration of the flight. When is the exact release date for the Pixel? The 20th available inside retail locations?

Pretty sure Verizon is only allowing exchanges and not returns for note 7s so I am stuck with Verizon version. Is swappa best site for estimating resale value? I will need to offload this 6 and moto 360 sport eventually

So Verizon wants nothing to do with the actual Note 7, they will process a new phone exchange but send you back home with the Note 7, supposedly they will send a box to ship it back

Khisanth Magus posted:Well, despite their official policy being "gently caress you, not our problem", after talking with a Google rep they are going to fully refund my purchase so I can repurchase a new one. Their refunds apparently take a while, but the Pixel is sold out anyways so its going to be almost a month before I could get one anyways. I probably won't be able to get my free Daydream VR thing, but at least I'm not completely hosed. Does Google really send them without requiring a signature? Verizon requires a signature for every phone order delivered through Fedex so that's pretty crazy that Google doesn't do that as well for direct orders

Jerk McJerkface posted:This is cool but there must be a good gps app with the same features. There definitely is, the only time I could see a need for dedicated GPS would be in countries that didn't allow road mapping. Two years ago in Costa Rica I know Google maps was poo poo there and you had to rent a GPS unit. Of course no one should drive there since their idea of road signs are maybe we put a picture or some words with a estimated distance pointing in a vague direction. Finally saw good SoT with 6 hours 9 minutes yesterday. 18 hours later had 15% battery left. Night and day difference between my N6 and XL

Android: On the Spectrum I actually thought the Daydream was cool for 360 photos. I forgot I had taken 360 photos a year or so ago and it was a bit jarring. I was sitting in the same spot I took them and it was around the time my son was learning to crawl. Pretty cool preserved memories

incogneato posted:Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. To be fair, when we started using Play Music, the "family plan" option didn't exist yet. It just prompted you to login from an existing Google account and said there was a device limit. Why let you log in with a different Google account if it's not "as intended"? Just buy two family spots on someone's Spotify family account. There should be some goon threads over in sa mart. That will save you money and the hassle

Tiny Lowtax posted:Ok so it wasn't asking me anything when I plugged in the USB cable. So I tried another USB cable and it actually asked if I wanted to change that setting. Ford's sync bullshit for Android isn't worth figuring out. Having to manually select Bluetooth as the source after selecting sync as the input is a really dumb design. I think I discovered that I could only play music I loaded on the phone but not use Spotify or any other music player

His avatar text is telling. With regards to the budget phone talk, the budget phones never offer a decent low light capable camera. The flagship Galaxy phones and now the Pixel absolutely destroy the competition in that category. I wish Moto phones fixed that flaw because they were almost perfect phones

Is the phone fully updated? The google play services poo poo can take a bit of time to update. It will make the phone act wonky if you stop it. If you just received the phone I could see you getting excited to use it immediately and some background poo poo didn't get to run through the paces. Plug it in and check to see if it updates correctly. Or factory reset and start over

I've literally never used VR before and would like to try it out with a cheap headset (not Cardboard). There are a billion different ones available on Amazon between $20-$35, is there a consensus on which is best in that price range? This is better than my daydream https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYSKTN2 and it gets way more use since I use it as a quadcopter viewer
