    Curious as to why that is? Do they own your phone or is it a company phone?

    Grab Pushbullet for sure then. Airdroid is great for transferring files easier but for responding to texts and stuff, Pushbullet is much better.

    This guy went from retrieving master to a shit bag in the span of about 30 minutes. Got into his med bottle in the 10 seconds I was out of the truck and ate a few of the doxy's he had from a bacterial infection. Jackass. Oh well, he'll be fine and has been awesome hunting this year.

    No, you need a new SIM for the 5X or 6P. I just confirmed with Project Fi's support (best fucking support of all wireless carriers hands down). Here's the link if you need the new SIM:Order Project Fi SIM Card

    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.

    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.

    Home Theater/Game Room Thread

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.
