    OnePlus owners who have also owned top end flagships, do you ever feel you have a "compromised" or "

    Re: OnePlus owners who have also owned top end flagships, do you ever feel you have a "compromised" Bob61 yes, I need good speakers as I am the polar opposite. I am pretty much a YouTube addict haha. Which goes to show....different strokes and all that.

    Re: OnePlus owners who have also owned top end flagships, do you ever feel you have a "compromised" Download Gcam for the OP6 and the camera gap narrows considerably. What's left (for me) after that is the speakers. It isn't all that great compared to other smart phones. Personally I came...

    best thin case?

    If you're looking for a Peel/Caudabe type case for the U11 the only one I can find is the X-Level case on eBay. The case is ok, however not nearly as polished as the other 2 mentioned above. You can see the flashing seams and the cutouts, while accurate, are plain Jane. The fit itself is not...

    Verizon Band 4 Update

    Switching over from a U11 to an unlocked Pixel XL the past few days has been eye opening. Here I am sitting in Band 2 now. It's not as fast as 13 right now (12.72 down 4.79 up) but the point is I have now seen the Pixel use all three of Verizon's LTE bands, whereas the U11 was on 13 this whole...

    Verizon "certified" my arse

    Re: Verizon "certified" my arse I've previously brought both an unlocked iPhone SE and and unlocked Pixel XL to Verizon and they both had VV. Maybe it's because neither of them required the standalone app, both built into the OS/software. Regardless it's not a major ask to tweak the...

    Verizon "certified" my arse

    The point isn't whether it's easy or not to set up GV (as a matter of fact it's very easy to set up VV with Google Voice for any provider), rather that this workaround has to be done in the first place. Sorry, *86 as a default voicemail option is some serious 1990s $%!!. Unacceptable in 2017 for...

    Verizon "certified" my arse

    Current known Verizon issues are: No Band 4/Advanced LTE support No Wi-Fi Calling No Visual Voicemail The first item on the list is the biggest problem I have with the U11 on Verizon right now. The phone currently only supports a single LTE band (13), which really isn't acceptable IMO. Also...

    Accessories For the HTC U11?

    Thought I'd share some pics of this new Matte Smoke case from DGlte that I picked up from Amazon. It's a nice starter case. Nice fit, not the tightest (like Diztronic for example) but not too loose either. Nice button feel, all the cutouts are there. And I like the translucent back, shows just...
