Unrelated discussion, in addition to being a thread where the last discussion was in 2013. Better making a new thread.

Never say what "people" want. What that really means is what you want, and what you think people should want. Take the example of the Essential Phone, where there is a cutout for the camera which permanently removes part of the screen from being used In that case I would rather have a bezel at...

Seen two reviews/opinions and they are split on the camera positioning. My opinion is its a waste, non-standard aspect ratio which when properly supported in software is being physically compromised in a way that no software is going to fix. That can only be done by NOT taking full advantage of...

Replying with a video instead of an actual argument. Speaks volumes. If you want to let it go, sure. I will do that. Still won't agree with your weak arguments though. Summary of my points. Only in mobile smart devices is that a trend, where everywhere else that isn't the case. Still common...

No, stated what I saw. You dismissed similarities because they actually contradicted your argument. You cant actually provide any argument, instead only lies. You used a trend in decreasing usage as "evidence", something which is equally applicable to headphone jacks but is apparently so...

Gold being limited editon might have better resale value, a moot point now for you anyway. But not really something I would want to rely on, and to be honest unless it was more of a certainty with a good payoff, I would rather focus on what I want to use every day. And even in an opaque case...

It can measure up in different ways for different users. Many phones can. If the s8 is a better choice for you, great. It just isn't for everyone.

Amazon's I think introduced some additional "wake words", though limited to a predetermined selection. "Computer", "Amazon", "Echo", as well as the default "Alexa"

Very possible. They certainly set a precedent within their own products anyway with the 3t. Not enough yet to decide if its a trend yet or not. Just really wondering where the upgrade would come from. Seems the upside down screen has been a consequence of space constraints largely, which if...

Can force an Amazon Kindle off by holding down the power button until the screen goes off. Takes something like 20 seconds of holding. Have several kindles and done this myself for similar reasons.

Generally the advice for such a new device would be via the store you purchased it from. However if that isn't an option for whatever reason then I would say the following. Buying a cheap pair of headphones would answer if it is the headphones or not. Perhaps there is something in the port. I...

If its a powered hub, that might explain the power being drawn from the phone or its charger if you aren't giving the hub a dedicated power source. As to what will or won't work isn't something easy to answer. How is the hub powered, can you plug in a dedicated source to say make it work for the...

Not likely. Looking at a pinout diagram of the USB 3.0 Micro B connector, the larger side appears to be responsible for power delivery, with the smaller side for data. Depending on the nature of the damage, I am not sure what the consequences might be when trying. However as the battery is...

Re: I have a Samsung On5 and when my phone is charging it says "No photos selected".how do I add pho See if in the device settings there is anything for customisation or wallpapers. Would I think be similar to your normal wallpapers.

Going into the general settings for the device should offer somewhere to manage your accounts. Removing the old one there might work. Otherwise try the settings for the Play app once signed in the new account. It is likely still pointing to the old account first, though you may not have the...
