    P4/XL $300 trade in for galaxies

    At BestBuy site (likely US only), you can trade in a P4/XL for up to $300 towards a S22 and other galaxies. Haven't seen that amount for awhile - as I recall, google was only offering $150 towards a P6 upgrade. Hard to trade in my p4xl that continues to just work, but tempting.

    Precise location

    I was looking forward to switching some apps to android 12 approximate location, but it seems even weather apps think they need to know my precise location. Android 12 should have made this setting invisible to apps. Apps don't need to know if I think approximate is sufficient for their function.

    N7.1 US discounting begins

    Noticed that Amazon has N7.1 discounted to $300 from launch $350. I'm surprised the launch price lasted almost 6 months. Glad I didn't wait but 300 is better fit for what it is. Still AC's top pick on midrangers.

    N7.1 Pie Day

    Received my Android Pie update today. Showed up in my notifications as ready to install -- I didn't need to check for updates. System seemed to carryover without many issues. Notifications look different. Recent items now scrolls horizontally (windows phone memories). I had a fingerprint...

    FPS gestures on N7.1

    Nokia doesn't provide any built in support for FPS gestures (that I can find), but I can confirm that apps like Fingerprint Action Pro work with N7.1. Makes it work similar to Moto phones with built in FPS gestures. Configurable, but I have it set to swipe up for home, left = back, right =...

    Release

    N7.1 has arrived. Seems like a good phone but won't be my daily until protection arrives. Upgraded from a oneplus 3 that stopped working. OP isn't the value it used to be.

    P for 3/T

    Instead of 8.1 they want to give us P https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/android-p-is-coming-to-the-oneplus-3-and-3t.879545/ Wow. They really don't want me to buy a new phone.

    OxygenOS 5.0.4

    OxygenOS 5.0.4 update showed up for my OP3 today. Appears to be a minor bug fix release with no new features. Bumped security patch level to June 2018. Still no Android 8.1.

    Now that OP3/T has nougat, what is preventing it from being Daydream compatible?

    Windows Phone holdout now Flexing

    Looks like I'll be spending less time on windowscentral and more time on androidcentral. Got my Flex 2 from the latest round of ebay deals. Was a little disturbed at the ATT bloat state this thing comes in. At least WP allows removal of ATT garbage, but this was obnoxious. Worse if you don't...
