NEW OT IS UP

 

[llehuty]

Well it also does all the nougat stuff. Double tap multi task button to quickly switch between the last app.

Hold multitask for split screen.

Oh, didn't know about the swap with the last app thing! Thanks.

Because peak brightness varies too much (on mobile especially), and the UHD alliance spec for mobile has literally only been ratified for about three weeks so not all the implementations are consistent yet.

And yes, it also requires per device DRM assessment.

This won't unusual at this point in a new at standard. HLS was much more fragmented for its first year, you literally found implementations for some handsets caused others to hard lock.

Oh wow, didn't know that. Wouldn't the per device DRM be a pain in the ass and probably takes forever to get that certified to certain phones?

 

[Baroquemantic]

Lol HTC. Should go back to the One m7 design and reduce the bezels.

It does look nice.

Definitely.

So my question is, is there really any benefit anymore to stock Android vs just disabling and deleting bloat and running Nova prime?

My G6 is smooth as butter so I don't really see how there could be a noticeable improvement. Looks like stock, feels like stock. What's the difference?

Enjoy your preview of the Pixel 2.

Bezel hell still I see

You might get major OS updates quicker than from the manufacturers with a skin.

And security updates.

 

[crazy monkey]

And security updates.

That is true. Most of them are not too far behind though. At least for the new phones.

 

[jambo]

Got a 755MB update for my Optus Huawei Mate 9.

Change log just said "security updates" and "update now," but I have noticed a few UI changes, so it would be nice to find a list somewhere.

New version is MHA-L09C34B170

Amount of nonsense is too much sometimes to discuss actual issues in Android thread.

Anyone have tips for selling a water damaged pixel phone? Does it generally make more sense to sell the entire unit than selling individual parts (which may or may not work because of water damage)?

 

[mikezilla2]

What browsers do you guys use on android and Why ?

Looking for something Solid and Clean

I use the Lightning Browser only. Love the UI and it is blocking ads.

 

[Ashes]

Anyone actually like that everyone on the same network can control Chromecast?

[wilflare]

upgrading to Android O DP on my Nexus 6P was a bad bad idea :/
oh well. don't think I wanna do a wipe/reset and roll back :/

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

That's the point.

Broadcasting a notification to every phone on the network is stupid though.

Chrome cause using something that doesn't have cloud browser sync across devices is just archaic.

Firefox. Syncs with the desktop and has a good range of add-ons.

 

[ty_hot]

Yup. I can't not use the same browser on my phone and computer. Plus I want my Google now to show me interesting articles, so I'm stuck with Chrome. Which isn't a problem.

are you not worried about your passwords and other data being Lifted ?

 

[layzie1989]

So this smart text selection thing on O is amazing. It's like a more active now on tap. All morning I've been going through threads tapping on names and titles and the functionality works almost every time.

To be fair this, thread is still relevant to android users until 2019.

When this thread reaches 498 pages, we can talk about irrelevans.

Chrome. I've tried other browsers (Opera, Firefox), but the ability to sync to my google account between my computer and phone is just to much of a feature of drop.

If only Android phones would keep getting updates a year later like this thread.

 

[Mindwipe]

I do like it, because it means my tablet and phone both get the notification if I can't find one.

But I certainly appreciate there are scenarios I'd like to turn it off.

You can disable cast from other devices. It's under Google setting.

 

[womfalcs3]

I've found a Samsung S9 (64GB) for $666 after taxes. Is that a good deal, or should I wait a month or two?

 

[Artistic]

Pixel 2 XL more than likely is the best phone in the group, but what's the best alternative to it: The OnePlus 6 or the LG V30?

Want to spend no more than $500-$550 before I sell off my S7.

Also, does Moto have anything close to the Moto X Play in 2018?

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

Anyone rocking the P beta?

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

The new update for the S9 has completely fucked up my phone. I can't see my contacts on the contact list or in messages. And I can only seem to make 1 alarm, which is no good lol.


Edit: fixed.
