Smartphones

That really sucks.

I just got to say, the back pocket seems like a really really bad place to keep a phone and the people who do put their phones back there confuse me.

SIM card slot on my OnePlus One shit the bed last night. Not reading any SIM cards I put in it now.

Ordered a Note 5, don't have time to fuck around without a phone :/ If I end up getting the OPO working again maybe I'll give it to the wife.

I've done with an HTC M8, Note 4, and my Nexus 6. The 6P was the only one that I ever was worried about bending. The other phones I could sit on in my truck (softer seats) and never blinked. And the funny thing with the 6P is I literally just bent down to tie my shoe, pulled the phone out, sat down at a time and had the phone "flat" on the table and was tapping it. I noticed it was sort of rocking and I was like wtf, this table is weird. Then it dawned on me that it probably bent. Picked it up, sure as shit, it had a twist to it.

Now, the GOOD news here is that I discovered something yesterday too that I have no fucking clue how I missed: When I ordered my 6P, I'd ordered the 128GB version of it. The phone I received is only the 32GB version. So with any luck they'll be sending me the right phone and I can just return this one and they'll be none the wiser.

Sad I have to say I am not extremely happy with my OnePlus2 either. I mean, it's getting the job done but if you saw earlier in the thread it was a total bitch just to even setup for the most basic tasks...and I'm not even a power user. I'm still mostly happy overall as it is going precisely what I wanted and why I bought that phone, operating dual SIM in 4g so I can swap as I travel the lands of this giant green and blue ball.

This is pretty awesome. I have no need for phone with hangouts and data. Wife needs voice, piggy back my line on that with no access fee and share data while paying for what you use is a great deal.

I've got a 5x coming as it was the work holiday gift. Hope I don't find it to small now that I'm used to the 6.

I've held both a 6p and 5x side-by-side and the difference in screen real estate is so miniscule I can't imagine being disappointed from that end. About the only thing I'd miss going from my 6p to a 5x would be the very minor photography stuff the 6p is able to do over a 5x. Even those are highly situational and rarely useful.

If I was going from an OG 6 to a 5x the improved camera alone would be more than worth it.

The 5x is a great phone. My wife has one. I'd gladly take a free one and use it without hesitation. You'll probably notice a difference between Shamu and the 5x but give it a few days and you should be fine. I love large phones and I could use the 5x as a daily.

Still love my 6p though.

Does anyone know of a Bluetooth Widget that will allow you to swap between Bluetooth devices? I don't want to have to go into the settings every time and would love to be able to swap right from the screen. Can't seem to find one that does that though.

Not specifically but you could use nova launcher, setup a widget for an action, select Bluetooth option you want say to bring up the Bluetooth selection which should list the devices and you're a tap away from hitting the one you want.

No more than two taps to change? Not sure if that will work for you.

I missed it on black Friday. Thinking i might break down on a newer phone as my moto g can't handle much, and i text like a retard on its small screen.

Looking for where to find best prices on a nexus 6 not p. Just Amazon, ebay send to save like 5$ but figure any issues Amazon easier to deal with.

I love my S4, best phone I've ever had, but a coworker is really talking up his Note 5. Anyone have it? How do you like it? The screen looks fucking incredible.

I used the Note 5 briefly (and the Note 4 for a long time). It has a fantastic screen, fantastic camera and good battery life. If I could use it on Project Fi, I'd probably be torn over whether to use the 6P or the Note 5.
