I'm wanting to replace my Nexus 5, but the 5x is unimpressive (to me) for the cost, and the 6p is huge. I'm looking at the unlocked international version of the Galaxy S6 on Amazon for like $500. Is that kind of my best bet for a high-end contemporary phone right now, if I want it on something like Cricket (which I use now)?

Sidenote: how do I get updates on the Galaxy if I'm not on a "real" carrier?

Anyone have a suggestion for a 2-port adaptive fast charge S7 compatible charger? Both for the car and for home/travel. My SO and I took advantage of the BOGO verizon deal and are happy owners of some S7's, so I want to take advantage of the charging speed possibilities.

I'm looking at this one for the car: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B019OSX8UC?psc=1&smid=A142BGUZC6UH73

So on my S7, after I get a gmail notification, I might read it on my desktop. Even after being read, the notification still sticks on my phone. This used to not happen on my old Nexus 5.

Help!

I have had this issue across like 3-4 android phones of multiple generations and still can't figure this poo poo out:

If I am chatting in hangouts on my computer through Gmail, WHY DO I STILL GET NOTIFICATIONS ON MY PHONE?? Please if you know how to make this stop let me know.

If you keep the chat window in focus on the browser, it shouldn't notify. Otherwise, if it's not in focus, all it knows is you haven't read the message, so it will notify on all devices. It's working as it should.

It's in focus. I'm typing in it!

Trip report:

After having 2 terrible Pixel 2XL's I said gently caress it and got the Pixel 2.
I am very happy now.

Pokemon Go looks much smaller than on the 2XL or Samsung S7 but that's about the only gripe I have. Literally everything else about this phone is fantastic. I don't even mind the bezels.

Knowing the bezels hold awesome front stereo speakers makes me not care.
