LastInLine posted:The nice thing about Samsungs is the way they disable all of the syncing features by default so you can still lose your data like it's the 90s. I mean, that's only a problem if they do something unprecedented like design a phone so badly that it explodes so it's nothing that should impact anyone... It were cheap. And it runs marshmallow, syncs nice contacts and such pretty well.  I'm new to the droid phone scene but I have no complaints as yet.

darkhand posted:i like gboard because you can set it as onehanded mode. I'm sure a lot of other apps do that, but i'm not gonna go searching for some xCoolxBoardx trash orwhatever. I also use textra because text messages weren't going through on some apps, but textra seems to workaround a bug in the APN stuff I think. Swiped from swift key. First time with one thumb. No typos.

datajosh posted:I would install Samsung Smart Switch for PC and try installing the software update through there, then see if the issue persists. I thought updates were more of a carrier thing than manufacturer? Sarnsung SS certainly didn't offer to update my poor phone it actually kind of hosed up the default drivers Windows was using without issue so now the phone randomly loses file transfer abilities when plugged in even though it's been uninstalled from my laptop and phone.

If you have your phone where the BT signal is going through your squishy innards on the way to your head that can kill the signal pretty well.

Blue Train posted:I dunno if it's still the case (I suspect it is) but as of 2015 UC had issues with data leakage and phoning home I hate blindly hating chinese software but somehow that just creeps up on me, must be getting old. There's a firewall program that adblocks by country or app and it recommends full blocking Iran, North Korea ya know the "axis of evil" and so on and so forth and will tell you in no uncertain terms which of your apps are phoning home and to what country and my favorite file manager (which you can get to tell on itself for the lols) is one of these that will not stop communicating with a chinese server. It's probably not too dastardly or nefarious and I let the thing have my dropbox creds because well, it's actually the best at what it does and it's not a critical thing but it still worries me some.

The droid I have is free with a year's worth of Tracfone service. You can get it from walmart or hsn.com. If you don't mess with it too much it's an okay phone, if you do it's an object lesson about aynroid and sarnsung It's well under $200 is my point, and it is black and indistinguishable from every other Galaxy unless you have phone sickness.
