I have an LG G3 on AT&T and I never received the last OTA update. I know it didn't really do much, but I'm curious as to how OTA updates work and why I wouldn't receive one? I also checked using LG PC Suite and it says I'm up to date as well, but my software version is still D85010d.

Is the G5 a bust? I'm on AT&T and in need of a phone in a hurry, and I can't afford to buy a 6P outright at the moment. I loved my G3 but something went catastrophically wrong and it melted while charging. I suppose I could cheap out and get a G4 with a shorter Next plan so that I could upgrade again sooner since there seems to be a dearth of good Android phones on AT&T right now.

ilkhan posted:What's so wrong with a 5X that you outright ignore it? Nothing at all besides the fact that the only Nexus listed on the AT&T website is a web-only refurbished Nexus 6. Maybe the store stock is different and I'm just pissing in the wind trying to shop on their website. RVProfootballer posted:G5 definitely isn't worth retail price. G4 for the price is probably better, but no reason to stick with LG. Moto X Pure or Nexus 5X or Nexus 6 should all be slightly cheaper options. I'll keep an eye out for these when I'm at the store this afternoon. The last time I was shopping for a phone this thread was super anti-Samsung, and some of that sentiment seems to have dried up and I am seeing the S7 recommended now. I'm not averse to this being my real upgrade, I was really only defaulting to the G4 because it looked like my options for top-of-the-line were the S7 and G5 and not much else.

As tempting as that as, and as much as I wish I could avoid the carrier bullshit, I unfortunately need a phone I can walk out of the AT&T store with in hand. The 6P looks great but I don't have the luxury of even waiting for shipping at this point. It's annoying because this is the first time I've ever had a phone break before I was able to secure a replacement.

RZA Encryption posted:"My cellphone melted while I was charging it, so naturally I'm going to replace it with something from the same manufacturer." Point taken, but in the interest of full disclosure the truth is even dumber because the charger that melted it was a completely unbranded one I found lying on the floor of a classroom at the university where I work. Truly the ivory tower of academia is for our own protection.

The Ferret King posted:Been going strong with my SCOSCHE USBC242M chargers in my cars for a few years, but we've switched to S7s and I was wondering what the best option would be to get a Fast-Charge 2.0 capable adapter/cable. SCOSCHE doesn't appear to make a compatible one, which is a bummer, because I've really liked these chargers so far. I've had good luck with AUKEY chargers. I just use the one-port one but I usually see people here recommend this one:https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-CC-T8-...harge+3.0&psc=1

Twerk from Home posted:What did LG give you as a warranty replacement? My post-Nexus 5X life has been a couple of miserable months trying to use the LG G5 they sent me, followed by selling it in anger and buying a Moto G5+ which has been a pretty excellent phone. LG G5 bad, Moto G5 good. I'm having a different but similar experience, I'm not quite ready to buy a new phone yet but I smashed my LG G5 when it fell out of my pocket and Asurion sent me a Galaxy S6 instead because I guess the LG G5 was so unpopular that they don't have any to refurb. I know complaining about the differences between two ancient phones is kind of silly but why the gently caress is the back button on the right? Why does it have capacitive buttons? Why is the fingerprint reader so lovely compared to the G5's? Why is the battery gone by 3pm? The screen on the Samsung is definitely nicer looking than my G5's was though.

Twerk from Home posted:Ouch. That really blows. They gave you a refurb phone that probably already has a worn battery, so that's why the battery life sucks. Did you complain? That actually hadn't occurred to me because one of the common complaints about the s6 at release was its lovely battery life, and I am on it a fair amount during the day. I wonder if a worn battery is the problem.

pissdude posted:the video/music/file will keep playing on my TV but just the app player controls just stop doing anything. I have to either hard close the app or reconnect to the chromecast twice to get the controls to re-engage again. I have this off and on with a Galaxy S6 and a Chromecast Ultra, most often in Netflix and Youtube. I don't think I've ever had it happen in Plex but I could be misremembering. It seemed to happen less on my first Chromecast 1, so it could be an issue with 5ghz wifi on the Ultra in my case?

I'm such a freak cheapass for spending $1,200 (tax plus extended CARE) on a phone, but oh no, can't spend anything more for upgrade from standard shipping. Just out of curiosity, what was your shipping estimate on your order? Mine was estimated 19-22 and I'm guessing it ain't gonna be 19 since I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet.

LastInLine posted:Does reducing the priority to whatever it is that doesn't have the icon and turning on the dot not do that? I don't use dots so I don't know offhand but I don't see why it wouldn't unless you need a certain priority threshold to have a dot. It appears that the behavior is, "no notification in bar=no notification dot" but I might also be an idiot.

LastInLine posted:I just tried it and it works fine. Set the importance to minimum (GMail notifications, account you care about, tap the word "Mail", Behavior > Show Silently and Minimize) and under Advanced in that same screen select "Show notification dot". Thanks, this worked fine this time. Not sure what I did won't before, I could swear this is what I tried and it didn't work. Maybe the dot was just being finicky that one particular time. Has anyone tried their Pixel 3 with a non-Google fast charger and had it not fast charge? My QC3 Anker charger won't quick charge mine.

Will I hurt my Pixel 3's battery by using a QC3 charger on it? It's one of the 2-port Anker wall chargers that has the separate qc3 and "IQ" USB-A ports. I don't really care about fast charging, I just don't want to accidentally roast the battery prematurely.

My first Android phone was an HTC Inspire and I talked myself into liking it because I was being obstinate about Apple (folly of youth), but it was a complete piece of poo poo. I saw a screenshot of one the other day and had a visceral reaction to that unlock ring you had to pull up.

Is anyone having trouble with their Pixel 3 and the Pixel Stand not fast charging? Mine will start out saying "charging rapidly" and then change to "slowly" after an indeterminate amount of time. Maybe it's throttling down due to heat because of the fabric case?

Just putting the different menus at the bottom is way better for me than the hamburger menu on the left was. Something always felt disconnected to me in Pocket Casts between the "Discover" area and the "My Stuff" area and this feels more cohesive somehow.

Apparently the Pixel screen flash issue is on the list of fixes for the April patch. I kind of forgot it was a thing because it only happens to me like once or twice a month on my Pixel 3 but the article spends several paragraphs dragging Google for not fixing this Terrible Offense Against God sooner.

I feel stupid but what's wrong with the new app switcher? I rarely use the swipe right and hold to scroll, i just do a lil swipe up and it's the same old card switching. I'm not on the beta though so ignore me if that has a new switcher!

Man, I love my Pixel 3 but Gorilla Glass 5 (if that's the current one?) is the scratching-est loving screen material I have ever seen in my life. I have never had a phone screen pick up scratches of any kind unless I butterfingered the thing into the concrete or something, but my Pixel 3 already has a bunch of scratches just from going in and out of an empty pocket. I never even put the thing facedown on a table.
