What's so lol about that? My S3 lasted me 2 years. I just haven't found a phone since then that was worthy of hanging onto for a significant amount of time.

Pulled the trigger on the Nexus 6P today. Hopefully this'll be the phone that lasts me at least 3 years.

Yo, go to your Phone app, Call History (from top right menu), and the Voicemail is found on that page. Really fucking stupid how they have it setup but imo better than calling your voicemail number.

Here are two speed tests from my Nexus 6. The left one is an outdoor test done a few days ago, the right one is an indoor test I just did at work behind a few walls. Both were taken in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul Minnesota metro area (ignore that it says I'm on wifi in the first one, I'd just...

Kedwyn was it you that said you were worried about the whole Obi/Google Voice/etc thing when switching over to Fi. Do you use a wireless telephone with Obi or whatever at your house through Voice? Why not just use a headset and accept calls through Gmail (which comes from Fi)? For instance...

They played 4K native content. Not all of your content is going to be 4K. If you watch a 1080p broadcast or BluRay or etc it won't look quite as good than native 4K content.

Well put.

Been using it for a few months now. I wrote up a mini-review in the Smart Phone thread a while back. I'm still happy with it and don't think I'll be switching out of it any time soon. Cheap bill, best customer service there is in the industry (imo), and T-Mobile/Sprint coverage combined = pretty...

I probably worded stuff wrong. I understand I'm not gaining anything by getting a 4K for streaming/cable/broadcast TV but nearly 100% of the movies/TV shows I watch end up being from downloaded content and there is a fair amount of that available. Most Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime shows the wife is...

What do you think I am? Some kind of money saving pleb? Kidding aside, I get that argument but knowing that Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube are pushing 4K, and with Black Friday/Christmas coming up, the whole "lack of content" argument isn't going to last real long and seeing as we're...

I haven't read any other reviews but one of the comments on the 6P review lead me to this... Mobile rating - DxOMark Which has the 6P in only 3rd behind the Sony Xperia Z5 and Samsung S6 Edge... so I'd take Engadget's (who is know to be pretty fucking biased) word with a grain of salt on...

So here's my conundrum right now Lyrical: our TV room is setup like a total derp burglar. Right now I'm trying to find a couple rear surround speakers to go with the front ELAC's that would fill the room out with sound well. Any suggestions there?

I've pretty much settled on getting a pair ofELAC B6'sfor my front speakers. I may just get two pairs and throw the other two in the back. And I've more or less settled on theDenon AVR-X1200Wfor my receiver. That'll let me get a second sub in the future if I want. Haven't quite picked out a sub...

Go on... Yeah that's kinda why I figured I'd ask here. I don't mind spending a few bucks but I'm definitely not an audiophile but also don't want a shitty setup for other people's "budget" builds. To clarify, the TV/setup would be used for sports, movies/TV shows, and occasionally music...

This mighta gotten glanced over since it was at the bottom of the (default?) page size for me. Anyways, forgot to mention that I have speaker mounts already build into the room for the Front/Rear speakers. Again I have zero freaking knowledge of home theater audio setups. Damnit. I know...

FYI:Textra has been updated to work with Project Fi I've not tested it myself but there ya go Project Fi people. Edit: Read the comments, some people still having some bugs/issues.

I've got about a $1,250 budget to get a sound system setup. This is something I know effectively zero about. I'll have an HTPC (probably), Cable, OTA antenna, and probably a Chromecast/Firestick type deal plugged into it the TV. I'd like to be able stream music and shit from my phone on it...

You should be able to find a 970right at $300.

Ah... perfect thread. I'll be closing on my house soon and will needing to pick out a decent home theater setup soon.

Edit: Derp, double post.

I'm probably one of the dumber people here when it comes to upgrading and even I have talked myself out of doing anything this go-around. It took me 6 months but I finally convinced myself not to be a dumbfuck.

AutoCAD? Photoshop? Illustrator?... I've hit memory issues on my work machine that has 16 GB in it but that is when I have 5-6 big CAD files open and a few in PS/Illustrator with my normal Chrome/Pidgin/etc running all at once. Most of the time CAD crashes and then goes wonky on me until I...

Still don't understand why anyone would use 7 over 8.1 w/Classic Start. Mind boggling.

When I first signed up with Project Fi, Textra flat out was not compatible with it. I've not tested it since because, well, I don't see much difference between stock and Textra. So I don't really see the point. So I don't know if they've fixed it yet or not but if texting gives you any fits with...

PM'd you back.

Hmm... are you using the built in messenger app or something like Chomp/Textra/etc? If you are, that may be the culprit. I had goofy service for the first couple days then it settled in as normal. For instance, I just completely wiped my Nexus to upgrade to the latest build and root it...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that having a billion LED fans in a computer that makes it look like it was designed as a Star Wars spaceship on acid is fucking retarded. I think I have one piece in my entire case that is an LED light and even that bugs me. I don't get that at all. I...

1) I obviously spend quite a bit of time on my computer. If a new game comes out in the next 2-3 years I might be interested in I want to be able to run it at Ultra/Max settings and not blink an eye. 2) I've been pretty lucky to be making a stupid amount of money right now and I don't really...

Anyone see any glaring issues with ordering these parts for my Skylake build? I'll be getting the CPU/Motherboard from Microcenter whenever the fuck they get it. Mostly just concernedabout the RAM, really. Edit: Should I look at the Intel 750 or Samsung SM951 for my SSD? Is it really worth it?

You won't regret that decision at all. G-Sync is fucking awesome and while I ended getting the ASUS (more or less the something but not an IPS) it was one of those purchases that is along the lines of making the jump from HDD to SSD in terms of noticeable difference in gaming/computer...

I finally traveled a bit upstate (Bemidji/Clearbrook area) of Minnesota. I lost coverage a few times on the drive up, and Clearbrook has absolute horseshit coverage for any provider no matter what their map says. Other than those couple instances, coverage was not bad. Fi > Verizon all things...

Welp. The bug of wanting to build something for the sake of building something bit me again today. I'm buying a new computer. Based on updated reviews/benchmarks from Skylake I'm going to be getting something similar to what I posted a couple days back but with much faster DDR4 RAM.

I've had very good luck here both buying and selling. r/hardwareswap

Man, the Skylake processors for the first time have made me not want to do a new build like I've been doing for the past 2 years. May just upgrade the 780 Ti to 2 x 980 Ti's like I'd originally planned. Damnit, I really like building new computers too.

@brekk: If you can wait, Google's updated Nexus line should be coming out around the same time as the Note 5. There is 2 versions of the Nexus 2015 being made: 1) Basically an updated Nexus 5 [made by LG] and 2) Basically an updated Nexus 6 [made by Huawei] I'm likely going to be getting...

If you have a MicroCenter near you, you may want to be on the lookout for some of the CPU/Mobo/and/or/Ram combos they'll likely have here in the next couple days/weeks.
