    I see the iMore redesign has "blog" why don't you?

    I get the joke, but it doesn't work on my computer tbh. I'll just go elsewhere I guess, since after coming here for years, since iMore was "TiPB", I guess they don't want us as anything more than an experiment in design. That's why AC doesn't have it and iMore does. They're the same company...

    I see the iMore redesign has "blog" why don't you?

    I want a list of news, not whatever garbage this is. I want posts over time, not curated/algorithmed articles. Why do websites seem to force this? I want my /global/recent list back, like what XDA does.

    Can DeX output 4k HDR?

    I've seen some dongles that say they do DeX, and have 4k output. I've also heard that 4k is an option with Oreo. Can anyone confirm if the S8/S8+ can *output* HDR or DolbyVision?

    Location preference like iOS

    I haven't found an answer either, but figured I would bump this. Would be nice to have a way to restrict access when I don't want an app using the location in the background. Maybe turning off background data?

    Do we get the same 4k content upgrade as iTunes?

    I bought Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. I liked it in theaters and thought it would look great in 4k. Come to find, GPlay doesn't have it in 4k, but somehow iTunes does. I'm assuming it's a licensing/exclusivity issue, but does Google upgrade older HD content to 4k too? The HD...

    Has anyone gotten Oreo on Fi yet?

    I haven't gotten the September nor October patch, and I haven't gotten my Oreo yet. Has anyone had issue sideloading? If I do the beta then turn it off, my phone gets erased right?

    Bixby updates reinstalling bloat?

    Yeah, I realized that thanks. My point was that Samsung shouldn't make me turn that off when they shouldn't do it in the first place.

    How to stop popup ads on Samsung s8 edge

    These are not necessarily seen as the same as those notifications. I insta-one-star any crApp that spams my notifications but have yet to see pop-up ads. There is a setting in Bixby about Promotions. Have you installed any "questionable" apps? Anything that promises free wallpaper? Free...

    Bixby updates reinstalling bloat?

    I can't update the Bixby stuff manually. Beyond that, since when does "update" mean "reinstall"? I wouldn't have thought to check that. It reinstalls after I disable them. At first I did so in adhell, then google settings, but it seems Samsung sees "update" and "reinstall" as the same...

    Bixby updates reinstalling bloat?

    I just got my S8+ from the T-Mobile BOGO. I removed Samsung Health and a few apps I don't want. I turned on autoupdates, and it keeps reinstalling health and some of the other bloat I removed. Do we know why Samsung says reinstalling is updating which it isn't? Further, I can't manually update...

    Can't hide things in GoogleNow

    Exactly. My issue is, why do I have to "Turn on Web & App Activity" to tell them *NOT* to show me something. I get "Oh, that's how it'll sync across devices", but let me choose if I care about that, or am ok with "just let me tell you what I want to see". Last I checked, I paid for the phone...

    Can't hide things in GoogleNow

    RIght. I just get "Done with this card/Customize/Send feedback". I knew exactly what you meant with the three dots. My point, is I *only* see what you see if I unintuitively, and non-privacy consiously turn "Web history tracking" on. With that off in "Google Settings" or whatever it is now...

    Can't hide things in GoogleNow

    I've been doing the three dots things all along, and there isn't an option there. I don't see the option in "Customize Google Now" either. Edit: See my original comment.

    Can't hide things in GoogleNow

    Sorry if I sound entitled or anything, just this is starting to bug me. There will *never* be a point in time that I will want Google to automatically fetch news for me. I disabled those cards, as I just want traffic/weather reports, and things that *I* ask it to search for. Now, I'm getting...

    LG G3 Android M (6.0)

    It is so obvious that the problem is with Verizon. I mean, you call the city road paver when your car needs an oil change, right? /S This is *not* a case for Verizon, it's a case for LG really, not even Google. If LG messed with Android and made a skin, it's something LG has to rectify...

    Not liking the Nexus 5X because of lag

    Strongish. Not full, but I'd say 60%. Not sure how to get it to show numbers, but it's usually 60-75ish %.

    Nexus 5x Battery Life

    I've noticed similar, I don't use it at all during the day (can't at work), and it's at 50% after 8.5 hours. My thought is I'm on Fi, and it's confused between Sprint and TMobile. Are you on Fi?

    Not liking the Nexus 5X because of lag

    Haven't seen any lag. I have seen the battery drain for no reason. But that may be Google Fi getting confused as I'm in a good Sprint and TMobile area, could be confused between the two. I go to work, and by the time I leave I'm at 50%. I don't use it at all at work because I can't, so 50%...

    [Closed] Win a Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X in our Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    The 6P looks great, with 3gig of ram, and all the Nexus goodness! I'd be glad to have a phone I don't have to root to get rid of crap I won't use. Looking at you Samsung!

    [Closed] Win a Nexus 5X from Android Central!

    I'd like one because pure Android should be the only Android. I haven't had a Nexus recent enough to get the latest Android on it before. I have a Galaxy Nexus, but can't get anything newer on it. It'd also be great to get a fingerprint reader, and I like marshmallows.
