    Do the Pixels have a memory management issue? And if so, can't it just be fixed via update?

    While I don’t have the Pixel 3, my experience with my Pixel 2 XL leads me to believe that the 3 does have the issue because my 2 XL has it. It’s a very real issue. I don’t use any heavy ram apps or even social networking apps at all. But, I can flick back and forth between about 5 standard apps...

    S8 / S8+ First Impressions Thread

    Agreed. I find that with the way I use my phone's Samsung can't seem to keep up. Samsung performance is very dependent on the apps you use because TouchWiz appears to not work well with some apps, especially apps that feature functions similar to Samsung features. It tends to confuse the...

    Anyone having lag or stutter issues?

    Lag is here. Came a few days after owning. If you've never used a device like a Pixel or HTC 10 you're not likely to notice it because the S8 is noticeably faster than all other Android devices besides those. Coming from a Pixel (and still having one to compare side by side) it's a night and day...

    Smart Lock - didn't work on my S7 Edge, and doesn't work on the S8

    A lot of my Google features stopped working. I think Samsung software kills them. Even the Google now weather widget doesn't display properly, but shows fine on my other devices.

    S8 / S8+ First Impressions Thread

    First couple of days it ran like a champ. Now I'm starting to see the ever present Samsung latency issues, random drops in frame rates on the most basic of tasks, over aggressive app killing and the like. It's not super terrible, but coming from a Google Pixel it's night and day difference...

    WTS: WTS: iPhone 7 Plus Matte Black 128gb

    I know, I know... This is an Android. Well, I figure I would also post here in case someone was interested. I've sold several phones here and am a legit seller. Positive feedback and simple transactions. I have a flawless T-Mobile iPhone 7 Plus Matte Black 128gb that I'm looking to sell for...

    HTC to Make the Pixel Phone..anyone else worried?

    HTC makes great devices. The One series are solidly built and the 10 showed they can also deliver a good camera. I'm more worried about Google and their incredibly simplistic approach to design. The 6P was nice, but way too large (physically, not screen size) of a device and the 6 before it...

    Ask questions, I have temporary access to a Note7

    There's no demo software on what I'm using. It stutters on its own. Samsung hasn't gotten to the point of having Nexus like performance like HTC has yet. Keep in mind though that many people won't notice it. If you're very particular about performance you'll notice it. If you think the s6 or s7...

    I havent checked yet but given past carrier models I'm 99.9% confident it's locked.

    Ask questions, I have temporary access to a Note7

    I'm not the best to ask because I never cared for it beforw and my limited time with this one I still don't care for it. It's too thin and light feeling like I'm holding a tweezer to my screen. Personally I think it needs more weight and heavier materials like real metal and not cheap plastic to...

    Haven't tried good lock yet. Not much in the store other than the standard Samsung one. Perhaps waiting to push others out or maybe the software change require new themes is my guess

    Yes it's very well balanced from top to bottom. Very even weight distribution

    I also answered this earlier but the speaker seems to be the same as the s7. So to me its average. Not louder than devices with better speaker setups and a bit muted.

    Don't remember hearing that Samsung browser supports extensions now.

    Ask questions, I have temporary access to a Note7

    Mostly I'm not a fan of touchwiz. While it's way better than it use to be I'm picky about performance and I notice slight jitters here and there and the often app launch delay. Became even more noticeable when I pulled out my ancient M9 (yup) and even that loads and launches apps faster and...

    Ask questions, I have temporary access to a Note7

    It's an s7 edge with an s pen. That's how I feel. The edge screen is better than s7 edge though because it's less pronounced. Easier to type and hold and the screen doesn't look as distorted near the sides. Software changes are nice - if not a little confusing at first. But I imagine the s7...

    I don't want one. I'm actually about to get rid of my s7 edge for much the same reason as to why I don't want the note7. For those that want one though its nice.
