Uncle at Nintendo posted:Nah I'm with you. I would love a phone like that. But since I know there will never be another non-Blackberry Android phone with a keyboard, I try to keep my dreams a little more realistic. My (reasonable) dream phone would be 4.3" with a good battery, decent storage, and decent specs. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/keyboard-mod-a-physical-keyboard-for-the-moto-z#/comments Currently shipping to backers, apparently Lenovo/Moto had a big shakeup in the mods division which slowed things down but it should eventually get into the store along with the rest of the Moto Mods.

Wasabi the J posted:So I got my sister who's on AT&T a T-Mobile version of the Z2 Force because her Droid Turbo 2 stopped charging. I was told I could get an unlock code. We called customer service and got one however it still has not shown up in her inbox two days later. T-Mobile has a database backend, once it's marked as paid off in their system you just run the unlock app on the device

Wasabi the J posted:I cannot find the app anywhere aside from a shady rear end app site. Strange, maybe it's one of those apps that only shows up when the correct carrier sim is in place, sorry

poo poo is weak posted:Lmk if this is the wrong place, but I just picked up a new s9+ and I was hoping to remove Tmobile and Samsung bloatware before I start making it my own. I'm capable of rooting it or w/e but it would be nice to avoid that. Don't root your phone. T-Mobile and Sprint phones have less bloatware than AT&T or Verizon ones. Just go into settings -> apps and for each app you don't want to see choose the Disable option. If an app doesn't have a Disable option it means it has been marked as a "System" app. For these cases the best advice is usually to ignore it. If there's one which really gets under your skin and you want to get rid of it you have two options: 1. If it's a Samsung app you can purchase Package Disabler Pro which will allow you to uninstall the relevant Samsung package. 2. If the offending app is not from Samsung or if you don't want to spend /3 then you can install App Inspector to get the package name of the App you don't want and then follow this guide to uninstall it. Warning: guide requires downloading a bunch of stuff on your computer and running console commands. Don't root your phone.

It could even replace your stereo if they invested in the sound card. Um yeah Google already announced that https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/09/google-previews-whats-next-for-android-auto/

I have been enjoying these TaoTronics: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075SYJCQN/ The ear hook buds stay in place without being uncomfortable, and they allow ambient noise (a drawback sometimes on the train, but usually I prefer it for safety)

Yorkshire Pudding posted:There’s a Galaxy J7 Sky Pro for $100 and a Galaxy S7 for $400. For my needs is there any compelling reason to spend 4x as much on the S7? We don't like getting an old Galaxy because they are no longer receiving updates, that's why you are getting recommendations for things like the Nokia 6.1 (2018) and the Pixel phones.

Sir Lemming posted:Yeah agreed, their work on Maps and Photos has really been uniformly* fantastic and I wish they'd approach everything else with the same level of quality and focus. Docs is also really good, although it kind of plateaued a while ago. I would agree except at certain zoom levels my Maps app is nothing but icons for convenient McDonald's and Express locations

XIII posted:I feel like most of the icons that pop up in Maps when I really zoom in are places that I tend to frequent, so maybe you should sit down and really ask yourself some tough questions about your choices. Though I admit to enjoying an occasional McNugget in my youth I assure you I have not shopped at either establishment in many many years

CLAM DOWN posted:Bashing those who take selfies is really getting tiring itt The quality of the under screen camera is probably going to be a step down for the first few generations so those who rely on selfies should probably hold off on this technology For the rest of us it's not crazy to want a screen that makes use of the real estate of the device without being notched

LastInLine posted:Older versions wouldn't work, would they? I mean if no one's paying for the Dark Sky API then how would the app function? Older versions of Weather Timeline used to screen scrape Dark Sky or something to get around the API requirement and it was a really beautiful and useful weather app, even though it had stopped being maintained. Then it was sold to some company that provides a really lovely and useless forecasting service and they took away the ability to use any other forecasting source. I gave up and paid $0.99 for Accuweather which is bloated and buggy and I really miss Weather Timeline
